Hi Guys. I've had tinnitus for over 5 years. I have periodic flare-ups where the ringing is loud but then goes back down after a few weeks. I feel fortunate considering the stories I read on this board. In the last year I developed occipital neuralgia and the neurologist wants me to try...

Hey Friends, my doc said I am low on D3 and B12 based on labs. Recommended supplements. Is there any evidence these could increase my tinnitus. I hate to experiment with supplements. Thanks.

Hey Lone Ranger. Can you explain more how to fold and sleep on your pillow. I need to sleep on my side while keeping both ears open. I think I should design a pillow for this purpose and become rich because I don't see one for sale anywhere..

Thanks Ed! I am depressed by it when I think to much about it. Right now, I fear going to bed at night..

I am struggling. Been at this for only 3 months. It feels like I will never be able to habituate to this. Discouraged today..

I am not finding that speaker pillow in the USA?

Thanks Ed. How do you sleep without masking?

Thanks Ed. Does the sound pillow work for you. Where did you get it..thanks

I have trouble sleeping on my side when my ear is blocked by my pillow, it can't hear the white noise generators. Has anyone found a pillow with a hole in the center that would let your hearing be open while you lay on your side and sleep? Or, how do you sleep on your side and still allow...

Anyone have problems with this and tinnitus? My ENT says these are not a problem. I keep reading Tricyclics are sometimes given to treat tinnitus. Thanks.

Afrin or Flonase ?

How do you create the steam. Thank you

Seems when my tubes clog up or close my ringing to louder. What over the counter med do you use on a regular basis to keep them clear and open? Flonase? Other? What is safe for the ear? Thanks!

I've had a couple days now where I can't sleep. My white noise generators in my bedroom cannot drown out the sound of the ringing in my left ear. Sometimes I seems like my Eustachian tubes keep closing and making the ringing seem louder. When this happens, it reminds me when I had excessive...

So nothing that hurts the ears?

I am getting ready for seasonal allergies that I get every year. What do you guys use to keep your ears/sinuses clear? My Ear doctor suggested Flonase. Do you agree. Do you have anything better. Thanks

I took Niacin 50mg to see if I would flush. After about 40 minutes, I got a blast of high pitched ringing in my one T ear. I am drinking lots of water to try to dilute this. Did not expect this. Threw Niacin in the trash. :-(

when you play an app, what are you using for speakers and does it play all night without interruption..

I will cut back but I need a little jolt in the morning. I have not found a coffee that I like.

Hey Friends, last night was the first night in my two month journey with T in that it was louder and woke me up at 3am and I struggled to get back to sleep. Usually, when my ringing (in one ear) wakes me up, it settles down and I get to sleep. Having it not go down make me somewhat upset. I...

Johnny, this was an encouraging note to me. I am only with T for two months, but in the last few weeks, sounds are very loud and it hard to cope. My T is pushed into the background on most days which is good. It's the loud sounds, like when I have to send my kids to another room that...

I have been searching the internet incessantly. I can't find anyone that was on Desipramine that had an aggravation in Hyperacusis. I am on such a low dose according to my doctor, 20mg, and its helping my depression so much. I hate to go off it. It been a long battle for me finding a...

I am struggling big time in the last week. I have been on desipramine 20mg for the last 30 days. When I increased the dose from 10 to 20, my ears became sensitive to loud sound. After a few weeks it seemed to stabilize. I increased from 20 to 25mg last week and my ears became incredibly...

Thanks guys. I may not have been clear. In my case, I have no hearing loss and a normal MRI. I have never listened to loud music and am pretty healthy physically. My tinnitus is in one ear. It started two months ago when I was trying to go off my meds for anxiety and depression just to see...

I am reading the pages and pages of debate on vitamins, minerals and other supplements and I can't get a clear grip with all the back and forth debate. Simply, if you believe a supplement you take helps your T, would you please list it out with a little detail. Thanks!

no cracking noise.. but I brought this up to my ENT, what I described and it was passed over..

I keep reading that anxiety and depression cause Tinnitus. Does that mean if I get my anxiety and depression under control, my ringing will go away. I only have ringing in one ear, no hearing loss or other health problems. My ringing starting during a period of bad anxiety and depression and...

It's not the sudden ringing that is startling it's the sensation that I'm loosing my hearing in that ear.

I've had tinnitus in left ear for 7 weeks. Sounds have been louder. My ENT says nothing can be done. My hearing is normal, no loss. I had previously been on Xanax for 3 years but off for 12 months before the ringing started. Not sure if this is related. Question. At times my left ear feels...

so is there a consensus on which magnesium helps with relaxation and sleep..

So my first ENT visit was bad, just sucked the wax from my ears and sent me home, and doctor wanted MRI of my head which was done and came out normal. Then after that said nothing they could do. I have ringing on and off in left year. Wakes me up at night. So I then pursued a second opinion...

I was taking Gabapentin for 2 years at 300mg for sleep and RLS. I stopped for a med break. During Gabapentin, I noticed my ears would ring very occasionally but never at night and never for long periods of time. Three months after I stopped, I have full time ringing in my left ear. I don't...

Thanks!

I had not heard of this. I run 3x a week for 30 minutes. I did high impact aerobics 30 years ago and know what a pounding that is, but I don't see the little run I do as a pounding exercise. I could be wrong?

Out of fear, I don't want to wear headphones when I run anymore. Has anyone found a wearable speaker that straps to your body somewhere and either connects via bluetooth or headphone jack to iPod or iPhone? Thanks!

Thank you. I have not been able to overcome when my ringing ear is buried in my pillow, it can't pick up the white noise from my noise machine so the ringing becomes loud in my head and wakes me up. I will look for this noise pillow.

Thank you Michael for the response. Have you heard of or found a way to position your head at night to allow the ear to hear the white noise? I almost need a pillow that supports my head but does not block my ear. Not sure how that would work. Luckily only my left ear is ringing. I have no...

I struggle with sleep as I need to keep my left ear that is ringing off the pillow so the two white noise makers I have going can mask the ringing. This is a struggle because at night if I roll over and my left ear becomes covered by a blanket or pillow, I hear the ringing at I get woken up...

Hi Everyone, Over last summer my ear starting ringing on and off every couple weeks then stopped. In December of 2016 the left ear was ringing all the time. I went to an ENT who said my ears "were severely clogged with ear wax". The wax was extracted and the ringing improved but did not...
