    Improvements in My Tinnitus Using the TinnitusPlay App

    Hey Adam... Glad your system is helping. I use the TinnitusPlay app as well. I found boosting the frequencies where I have the most hearing loss (4 kHz, 6 kHz, 8 kHz) seem to mask and tame it a bit. Just wondering if the earbuds let you boost the frequencies at all? The most relief I've found...

    Japanese Green Tea Has Improved My Tinnitus

    I've been drinking Matcha for the past week or so. I replaced the tea that had added sugar. It does help distract and keep my mind motivated on other things. It could simple be the removal of a drink with added sugar and/or everything in the tea is working with my body and helps ease things a...

    Hearing Aids

    I agree. Hearing aids help, but in my case only with some noise such as crickets in the 4-8 kHz frequency range in the background. Without the masking noise the hearing aids don't do much as it seems most sounds in a quiet environment or watching TV is 4 kHz or less. Strangely, hearing aids...

    Glutathione

    Thanks for asking. Honest answer, still just alive and still visiting this forum so life has been better. A hearing aid and various supplements over the years have helped me cope but yet to find anything that significantly brings the noise down. It's strange that smoking pot can make it go crazy...

    TinnitusPlay — Mix, Modulate & Notch Sounds Tailored to Your Tinnitus

    The more I use TinnitusPlay, the more I like it. Clearly a lot of thought and work went into this app. The Amplitude Modulation at 64 Hz using crickets 5 seems to work best for me. For reference - I have moderate hearing loss around 4 kHz and it continues to drop nearing severe loss at 8 kHz...

    The app is much appreciated! Crickets! My best masking sounds. I've learned over the years that the closer the frequency of the crickets to my hearing loss the better. For example: My hearing starts dropping off around kHz. 4 kHz -30 dB 6 kHz -50 dB 8 kHz -60 dB So my ideal masking track...

    Otoscope View of My Eardrum — Does My Eardrum Look Healthy?

    My tinnitus is from loud noise exposure but I was also curious to see if earwax or anything else could be making it worse. I ordered an otoscope and attached a picture of what I see. To me the ear drum looks purple and not healthy like the eardrums I've seen in photos/videos. Any idea what...

    Bizarre Way I Got Tinnitus and Found Tuning Forks Help

    I remember when I went to the ENT and he used one as some sort of test. I like it! Should have gotten a set way back then but I still thought it was going to go away. A friend who knows what I'm going through did some research and order a set. It's a great way to interrupt the tinnitus. It also...

    How Many Got Worse from Slow Tapering off Benzos?

    I've been taking .5 mg at every night since December. I only shaved off a small bit each night. Small taper may work better for you.

    How Many Got Worse from Slow Tapering off Benzos?

    When I tried to taper of klonopin my T volume seemed to go down which was very encouraging and gave me some hope.

    My Tinnitus Can Be Completely Masked W/ Even Lowest Cricket Sound?!

    Crickets are the best! My hearing loss is mostly at 4k frequency. They are the only thing I can use to mask. White noise or other sounds just seem to make it worse or end up sounding like static which only makes my T louder. I'm trying hearing aids and they do help but only if they pick up the...
