    How to Free Yourself from the Tyranny of Tinnitus. My Journey!

    Good show Thomas, I am glad I could help in some way. I always told my wife: If I can influence if only one person in helping them to give up the comfort of suffering and to start accepting instead, the time I wrote will have been well spent. I am very glad that you got it. And once you...

    The tinnitus advantage

    We free ourselves when we realize that Tinnitus is only a fact. It is there, it makes a sound, it is inconvenient but it is not even painful and we don't have to suffer from it unless we let ourselves do.

    The tinnitus advantage

    I just came back from a visit to the orthopedist for a bad shoulder problem. The MRI shows that I do have a degenerative osteoarthritis problem. My right shoulder (and other joints), will have to be replaced in a not so far future. But to relieve the pain and help the mobility, he decided to...

    Life is good

    No matter how much tinnitus we experience, how much deafness results from it, we can still appreciate most of life, appreciate people around us, appreciate this life. For many, like myself, Tinnitus is there to stay. To life a happy life, we must learn to accept T is a part of it. That it...

    Fine or Prison?

    For 100$, I'd pay the fine. But at 90 they just should leave him alone. What's their worry, that he might die? He's 90, let him chose what risk he takes.

    Poll of Everyone's Tinnitus Levels

    I never thought of having my T measured by my audiologist. But I have done some tests. With good hear buds, download this file on an ipad (I use the Ipad 2) and put play it at 3/4 of the maximum volume and this is the strength of mine...

    Marijuana / Cannabis and Tinnitus

    A vaporizer is much better because there is no combustion. Also, if you really only want the CBD and not the THC, you adjust your vaporizer temp to 157C which will evaporate the THC and then, you rise the temp up to 180C to evaporate the CBD. It is much better for the lungs and it gives you...

    If you smoke weed, use a vaporize, like storz and bickel's Volcano, your lungs will thank your, really.

    I Have Always Been Sensitive to Sounds and Noises

    This is funny because when I was young I preferred watching TV with closed captioning. Now 30 years later, after starting T which gives me a 85% hearing loss on most frequencies, I have no choice but to watch TV with closed captioning. But there is a good side to this, if the the TV squeals...

    How Loud Is Your Tinnitus?

    Take the attached mp3 file, which is a tinnitus sound very similar to mine, put it on an iPad or iPhone with headphones, and put volume at 12 bars, and this is about the minimum volume I get. Since I have hearing loss, tinnitus is pretty much the only thing I hear through my ear.

    Clicking Sounds

    If you can wake up with no tinnitus and your face feels relaxed, that could mean that your T is caused by tension. Have you tried going without coffee and sugar for a while?

    Clicking Sounds

    I do not want to worry you but my sudden deafness started that way. It sounded like tic, tic, tic, about 1 every second. In my case, in less that 3 hours I was deaf on one side. Not deaf as hearing nothing (it would have been a blessing) but deaf as hearing nothing more than Tinnitus...

    Not new to tinnitus, but new for me and not coping

    I want to warn you that meditation is only a single aspect of balancing your mind in front of T. Meditation in itself will give you the ability to concentrate but that is pretty much it. Like a skier needs good legs, he will go to the gym and strengthen his leg. But going to the gym and...

    Not new to tinnitus, but new for me and not coping

    Leah, I do not use a record script or anything like that. But I do set an intention, especially if I want to resolve something with my mind. For instance, I will set an intention to meditate twice a day for 45 minutes for 2 months and set the intention to be mindful of the problem I want...

    Not new to tinnitus, but new for me and not coping

    If you plan to use meditation for your t, here are a couple of advice: If you do and feel stress during your meditation (usually at the diaphragm level) just make sure to acknowledge it, take a deep mindful breath and let go of the stress with your out breath with compassion for yourself (like...

    Not new to tinnitus, but new for me and not coping

    Why? Have you tried mindfulness of the Tinnitus? When one starts meditation, it is said that she should observe something that is easy to observe and over which she has no control. This is why breath is often chosen because breath rises and falls naturally without effort. Tinnitus is there...

    Not new to tinnitus, but new for me and not coping

    Hello Amelia, Yeah, it seems that T can be annoying. I've had T for a year and a half now. It happened in a matter of a couple of hours from hearing perfectly to a sever deafness replaced by tinnitus which is not only a single frequency. It is more like a waterfall background and...

    Scam or Legit? Thomas Coleman's Tinnitus Miracle

    I bought this ebook and it proved pretty much useless. If you want a miracle cure, send your money to me instead. I have a voodoo doll in my closet and for 20$ I will cure you. ;)

    Marijuana / Cannabis and Tinnitus

    I vaporize MJ about 2 hours before going it and although it doesn't help T at all, I do sleep like a log. On top of that, sex is always great. MJ has a tendency to enhance sensations. In my case it does enhance the T but it also enhances fun things like orgasms. ;)

    Yes, but without Success. I am planning a trip to this same waterfall and I will bring a sound recorder with me. It is not a recording from MY tinnitus but one that is quite similar to mine. Since I cannot post a link to the web site, until after three posts, I will reply to this...
