I'm not going to watch because I can see what kind of point you're attempting to make. However, does someone else's horrid situation make you any less devastated about lesser problems? Just because other people have things a whole lot worse doesn't mean I'd be any less upset over a hearing...

So that's how you support folks here?

I feel some fullness in my ears sometimes but it's not something I have all the time, thankfully. It usually feels like's it's both ears.

I've experienced the sleep paralysis thing before more than once and I didn't like it. I didn't know what it was. It's been a long time. I would wake up and know that I was awake and yet I couldn't open my eyes or move at all. I felt very vulnerable and that someone could do whatever they...

Oh yeah, long time ago. They guy who played Sammy died here a while back. His son is still playing the role according to what I find on the internet. I saw him in person at our mall once. Not without the makeup though. But there are pics online of Bob Carter who played him...

Well, so far the Arches hasn't made any change in my T. But I'll probably continue to take them just to get rid of them since I did pay for them.

No I don't think I do. It's usually just a steady ring, though it does go up and get louder for seconds and come back down again at times.

Wow, diseases/conditions I've never even heard of.

Sometimes if a sound is just right and repetitive like a drum beat will feel a pulse in my ears with the beat. Is that it or is it something else? How many kinds of tinnitus is there anyway? I have no clue what type I have, I only know there is ringing in my ears.

I'm not what I'd call happy all the time but it doesn't really have anything to do with the T though that can be frustrating at times.

No, I don't get a hum or crickets, mine is a ring. I don't know, maybe a hum would be better?

I tried that Lipoflavinoid but then I went to a routine doc appt and he was a bit upset that my blood pressure was way up. I knew it had to be the Lipoflavinoid so I quit taking it.

And it can go up and then back down all of a sudden. I could be doing anything and it goes up in volume an pitch then goes back down. Weird.

That's true. But I think I hear good. I was told that I've lost some in the upper ranges but I don't feel deprived of hearing. Now if someone mumbles and runs their words together like my hubby tends to do I may not understand but it doesn't mean I didn't hear it.

Well I'm taking that Arches Tinnitus formula which has Ginko in it. Still on first bottle and so far nothing. I also picked up something at Meijers called ring relief. It's drops you put in your ears but it says right on the box that it may not work for everyone and the T may worsen at first...

Oh I love wind. When it's warm, that is. I don't know why I just do.

Must be nice. It's cold here and we've had some snow. But I've been to Hawaii in a hotel on the beachfront. The sound of the waves coming in is so soothing. Been to Oahu and the big island.

So really everyone just needs to keep trying different things because basically what helps one person will make it worse for another. What a pain. :sour:

Well, Christ said to go to the world with the gospel so how can a Christian do that without talking about it? Course, I realize you have to try and discern whether to speak in a given situation or when it's time to stop. Oh and the weather here is very cold right now, we've had some snow. :mad:

I think that the same thing doesn't work for everyone, I'm glad you found something. Seems like a multitude of things you can try and I'm afraid I'll just run out of steam and give up. Right now I'm working on my first bottle of the Arches Tinnitus formula but I'm skeptical that it'll work...

Love the smiley faces. :woot:

The answer to both would be depends on the religion. Course, I tend to look at things from the biblical/Christian perspective. I don't really like the term religion, it can be deceiving. Religion can mean anything, it's people trying to do something to reach God whereas Christianity is God...

If that's what you want to believe so if someone decides to choose a tree as their god then that's ok, believing it makes it so? I assume you don't believe in absolute truth, that there's one truth for everyone?

Oh and here's a book I'd highly recommend about these "aliens" : Alien Obsession: What Lies Behind Abductions, Sightings and the Attraction to the Paranormal: Ron Rhodes: 9781565078499: Amazon.com: Books

You're certainly free to believe whatever you like just as some of us have the same freedom to believe in God. There's a Bible verse about those who say "there is no God" but I won't quote it. I assume you don't accept it as having any authority anyway. That's your privilege. Plus I'm not going...

Sounds like they don't give a rip. They would if it were them.

Sorry to hear about your increased T. I think mine has increased some too but so far I can still get to sleep. I don't notice it all the time but it's aggravating. Used to not notice it much at all during the day but I can hear it right now. I don't drink but am trying the Arches Tinnitus...

I use a sonic care toothbrush which makes noise. I wonder if that could cause or aggravate tinnitus. I don't know that I'm ready to give up tooth health for tinnitus, not that I even know if it as anything to do with it. The sonic care is supposed to get your teeth cleaner than just regular...

I believe in divine physical healing. However God doesn't always heal. The apostle Paul requested that he remove a thorn in his flesh and God's answer was "My grace is sufficient for thee." Plus I also believe that healing from going to a doctor still comes from God.

I used to watch a lot of those old movies. Still do watch some of them. Are you by chance familiar with Sammy Terry and Nightmare Theatre?

That may have been "Night of the Living Dead." I seem to remember a movie by that name.

I didn't know there was anything at all that could be done about them. I figure you just have to live with it. I'm 58. They don't really bother me that much. The tinnitus bothers me more than that though it's not that horrible either.

That's it. Mine seem to be clear with like a light pencil color outline.

I've got some floaters. Don't notice them most of the time. Some of them are really weird looking. They don't seem to be real dark though.

I can only guess. I don't know what the cause is. I've hit my head a few times when I was a child plus I've got some TMJ issues so who knows. I don't really remember when I first started noticing it either. But as far as I can remember I haven't had exposure to loud noise for years at a time. I...

Got 4 bottles of the stuff. Some have said it didn't do a thing for the tinnitus but maybe the Ginko will help me think better, ha. How's your T doing? I can hear mine but when I start thinking on other things I don't notice it.

Ahhh, easier said than done. I just love the International Delight Mocha cold coffee drink in the half gallon. I go through tons of that stuff. Very comforting. I know I should cut back but I'm pretty addicted. :grumpy: p.s. My hubby would throw a fit if I bought stuff with aspartame in it...

Well, I got the Arches and have started taking it. We'll see. At least, the loud spike seems to have gone down a bit, it's not bothering me quite as much.

So sorry to hear about that. I don't even know when mine began I've had it so long. It was probably gradual. And, of course, when you go to bed and everything's quiet, it's so much harder to not focus on the noise. But I eventually forget it and fall asleep. I'd really like to get rid of it. I...

Not that I'm normally around a lot of loud noise but is there anyplace one can by a good pair of ear plugs rather than having to order online? I've used the foam type before when I was working nights and had to sleep during the day but they don't really stay in you ear.

Interesting....

Sorry about your pain but, yeah, that's one way to stop thinking about the ringing. I've done that before, try to detract from one bad uncomfortable feeling by creating a distraction. Course, you didn't break your toe on purpose!

The guy's just plain wrong. Sometimes mine will go up in volume and pitch for several seconds and back down. I'm not imagining things. Unfortunately, lately it seems to be a steady louder. Don't know why.

Yes I have it but not necessarily as a constant thing. I don't know what it is, maybe pressure from somewhere?

I'm afraid I'm still guzzling down my iced coffee drink like there's tomorrow. The only time I've given it up was a week before our Easter service becasuse I'm in the choir and have to go an hour and a half sitting on stage without being able to go to the bathroom. Didn't want to drink a lot of...

Unfortunately I'm not a cook so I need to find the right food I can just buy and eat...or heat up in the microwave. I've never had the desire to cook and never was made to so....there ya go. Maybe I ought to check and see what foods might have salycic acid. p.s. I drink a lot of that...

Well I already ordered some so at least if that doesn't do a lot of good I can rule it out.

You know I asked the lady at the health food store after work about Magnesium for tinnitus and she said no, you need chelated manganese. Anyway I decided to order some of that Arches tinnitus formula and see what happens. She also said some things you eat can aggravate it like some have a...

Do you get your magnesium from a supplement or somewhere else? I think that hot chocolate article said something about getting if from 2-3 teaspoons of epsom salts mixed in water. Sounded kind of odd.

It all sounds so complicated. :eek: But trial and error I guess. The volume on my T may have gone back down a tad. At least when I woke up in the middle of the night last night, I didn't feel like it was blaring at me like the night before.

Thx, if I do try it I don't want to buy a bunch of formulas to go with it. Or I could just try some Magnesium and Ginkgo which has also been suggested.

Unfortunately I don't know what's causing it. But won't hurt to try a few things, I just am trying to decide what to try based on some of the things I've read here.

Sorry if I missed it but I only had time to skim. Has anyone tried the Arches Tinnitus formula and gotten any results from it. I haven't read everything single thing everywhere on this board. I know Arches has been mentioned but I forgot where I saw it. Was thinking of ordering some.

Since I'm running out of time here at work I copied and pasted it to a word document. It ought to be interesting if nothing else.

Actually my hearing is pretty good or I think it is anyway. I have had spikes before but they were very temporty from several seconds to no more than ohhh I don't know an hour or two. Sometimes it'll go up high temporarily and right back down and I don't know what causes that. We'll see what...

I haven't done anything different that I know of....but my memory isn't the greatest either. It's when everything's quiet that it gets to you the most.

No, I don't know what has made it increase. That has me puzzled. I drink a lot of that iced coffee but I've been doing that for quite awhile. That's what's scary, it gets louder and you don't know why. It goes up sometimes for several seconds and then goes back down but his seems to be a...

Thx I'll see about the decongestant at the pharmacy. I really love the International Delight iced coffee mocha flavor. I drink a lot of it I know I should cut down but it's hard.

Hmm, I drink a lot of that International Delight mocha cold coffee drink. Someone here gave me a link to an article that seemed to say that studies showed caffeine wasn't a big factor. I really love this stuff but I need to try and make myself cut down on it. I'm drinking at least 3 glasses a...

I can empathize with you. Recently the volume of my T seems to have increased and that sure has me scared. I'm not sure what or if I can do anything about it. Hang in there, you're not alone. That's what I try to tell myself.
