Hi, I've never liked pure white noise, it always made my tinnitus worse the next day. I have the Sound Oasis S680 machine, and in the past, the Sound Oasis S650. They come with sound cards which have loads of different sounds on them, and you can even custom make your own sound card for the...

Yes. It's true that I have been coping better in general anyway. There's not a day goes by I don't think of my tinnitus at some point - setting up my sound machine at night, maybe being in an intensely quiet room, going to a loud party and trying to stay away from the speakers etc. But coping...

Hi everyone, I joined the forum in Nov.2015 after developing tinnitus from loud headphone use. Went through a very tough and dark period, ended up on antidepressants, lost loads of weight, bad thoughts etc. The tinnitus started in the left ear, spread to the right and then to the head. I would...

OK, I have applied to the UK Middlesborough site TWICE with no reply to my emails (got a email to say form was successfully received but no reply since). Three weeks since my last application. I have now applied to the Sheffield site in the UK. Has ANYONE done the trial with a UK site? What was...

I have filled out the online study questionnaire two times for one of the UK study centres. The first time was 2 weeks ago, I got the email to say my form had been successfully received and that they would be in touch with me. No reply since, no contact. I then filled it out again 4 days ago...

Does everyone with a pure tone type tinnitus (ringing/whistle etc) know their frequency? Mine is two tone at 1100 Hz and 1550 Hz. This is considered low (less than 8 kHz). What's your frequency and what was the cause of your tinnitus do you think? Is there a connection between the cause and...

Hi all. So I finally got the Audacity application to work on my computer and figured out how to get the Band Stop filter to work. My questions are: 1. Is white noise or brown noise better? I heard that brown is better for low frequency tinnitus (my tones are 1100hz and 1550hz). 2. Should I...

This is very much like a conversation I had with my husband a few days ago. I said tinnitus is like a thief that has stolen things from me....the ability to lie with my daughters in bed at night to read a quiet story before bed, the ability to lie in a nice hot bath and read a book in silence...

So on top of the 3 months of high pitched ringing/tone, for the last few nights when trying to sleep I've had a few occasions of LOUD tapping, exactly like someone tapping into a microphone to test if it is on. At first I thought it was coming from my headphones or sound unit, but it has now...

It was my understanding from the criteria set out in the trails, that the noise trauma had to be a sudden one ie a sudden huge noise or one occasion of trauma eg loud concert etc that caused the tinnitus, not repeated exposure to noise over months or years, is this not correct? Apologies for my...

I have, after waiting nearly 3 months for an NHS appointment (more on that later!) seen a specialist at the Tinnitus Clinic. To my disappointment, I did not see and ENT even briefly, it was an audiologist who performed some test and discussed the results with me. I had a hearing test, but only...

https://tinnitusnotch.com/ Don't know if I'm allowed to post the link but here is a site that creates a free white notch noise for you to listen to. I tried the Audacity/Band Stop thing but it just wouldn't work on my computer. This site is very easy, you just identify your pitch and enter it...

Hi all, I 've been lurking for about a week on the forum. Here is my story. For the last few years I have been exercising on the treadmill and listening to my ipod with headphones, probably quite loudly, maybe 6 hours a week. I can't believe I've been so stupid but I guess I thought it would...
