    Ajahn Sumedho — the Sound of Silence

    Hi Rod, Meditation in general and noticing the tinnitus in particular did help me quite a bit in the beginning too which is why my handle on this site is "Observer". I have habituated to a certain extent but meditation does help me cope with it on bad days. Peace, Observer

    Doc Says 85% Chance Tinnitus Is Temporary but Where Are the Success Stories?

    Thanks for your response LadyDi.

    Struggling

    Hi Jake, I know how you feel. Try to be around friends and lively surroundings (with low decibels). Do not spend too much time alone in your room except for sleeping. Even study in a library or the common study areas. Avoid drugs of all kinds except the one which are prescribed as an absolute...

    Doc Says 85% Chance Tinnitus Is Temporary but Where Are the Success Stories?

    Amelia, I tried melatonin a few times and it gave me bad migraines. I did some online search recently and Dr Oz seems to suggest that melatonin tablet is not the real deal and not quite the same thing as the melatonin that our body makes and might have adverse effects. Did you experience...

    Hey Melvin, I know how you feel with the dizziness and lethargy- I have been experiencing that since a couple of years due to a chronic sinus problem. I did some reading and started taking probiotics in the form of young coconut water kefir and fermented cabbage juice and now even my wife tells...

    Hello My Name is Erlend

    Dude, from what I have read, alcohol, nicotine and caffeine always make the Tinnitus worse. Try to avoid at least for a few months and hope this stupid ringing will go away.

    Hi Carol, Sorry to hear about the tough time this T seems to be giving you. I was pretty much consumed with this ringing until last week too but then realized that I was hoping for it to go away even when I was trying to be positive and I was scared- scared about this being an indication of...

    Hey Erlend, Love motorboating- didn't know what it was called though before you mentioned it and I googled it. LOL Anywho, I know it must be really tough at 19- I mean I am 44 and I have been depressed as hell. I am the only breadwinner in the family and my life was kinda on hold with this T...

    Doc Says 85% Chance Tinnitus Is Temporary but Where Are the Success Stories?

    Hi All, It's only been 3 weeks since my T started and I have been to 2 ENTs and 2 audiologists. Mine is accompanied with high frequency hearing loss which, as I just discovered, was caused by my old and noisy window air conditioner! I actually used to like that sound as it used to muffle all...
