    Common Things to Avoid/Do/Consume — What Has Helped?

    Hi ckg, I agree with Gregk9, see an ENT and see what he/she says. Be willing to become a student of tinnitus and of your own body. What I've learned is that we're all individuals, and different things affect different people. You're unique, and that's both good and a challenge. We're...

    Hi just1morething, The Starkey devices are helping, despite T spikes and occasional vertigo. It's been 2 months now, and I can hear better with them than without them. The masker doesn't seem to help the T, but my overall hearing function is better with the Starkeys.

    What Solution? Nothing!

    Hi Snow, While the return of tinnitus (and to a new volume level) can be discouraging, you could draw hope from the fact that it did abate, you did find something that made a difference. Maybe the treatment that helped you isn't a cure, but it is a treatment. Could it be repeated?

    Thanks, Nancy Fortunately it's been something over the years that will come and go; I've been able to function, because the tinnitus/vertigo are intermittent and only sideline me for a few hours. But this latest spike is the worst ... loud, persistent, and in both ears. The last five weeks...

    Amber, It seems to me that everyone's experience is a little different. Some report these products to be effective, others say "don't waste your money." They might be scams ... the biggest reason I'm here is to find wisdom from the experiences of others. What has worked for you?

    My experience with Menieres began at age 15 with tinnitus and vertigo; today I'm 60. As an adult I would have occasional attacks of both, then it would leave me alone for months or even years. Lately, tinnitus has become more constant, but with less vertigo attacks. I have a theory that...
