I went through a period like that too. Have you looked up some tips on getting a good nights sleep. There are things you can try, cool dark room, no TV, don't eat too late. Easy on the caffeine. I tried melatonin, helps get to sleep but never kept me asleep. Benadryl is another inexpensive thing...

This is an area I spend a lot of time researching and I find drinking tea, at least two cups a day seem to help me. The most talked about is green tea but there are those who believe, I am one, that regular black tea works just as good. I also find if I skip a meal my anxiety begins to creep in.

I have been to 4, maybe 5 Audiologists in the last 3 years and I find it very difficult to find a solid frequency match. I can get close and it might seem good for the moment but in the end I know it's not. When pressed most Audiologists I have seen admit the ability to match is rare. My...

The problem with that is the only way to come up with those specific engineered sounds for each it the complete reliance on the patient being able to accurately identify their frequency match. A very difficult if not impossible thing to do. I've been trying to get a solid match for years, I can...

If any of this stuff really really worked, the word would spread like wild fire and we would all be lining up to buy them. The fact remains that they only help a few "lucky" people who I have to wonder would habituate on there own with no expensive device. If you want to use sounds you can use...

I see no convincing evidence that these very expensive iPods do anything that any other cheap affordable sound playing device can do. Sound is sound and not some mysterious medicine. I use my iPhone and have several sound files that seem to help me and use sleep phones to listen while asleep, it...

Use Google and search for notched sound files. You will find dozens and dozens already done that you can play on Youtube. Just search for the frequency you want.

Get a good pair of hearing protecting ear muffs and you can still cut your lawn. That's one place where protection is necessary. There are a lot of people who over protect in places where it's really not necessary but any power tool needs to be used with protection.

Funny thing is I've been interested in doing something about my head sweating which has become a major problem. The sweat gets into my hearing aids and shorts the battery. It takes forever to dry them out. I have sweat guards but they are bulky, uncomfortable and I am afraid of losing a hearing...

You sound like my wife.

I took it for years and found I could do well on one 10mg cut in half and taken about once every two or three days. Good news is my allergies seem to have settled down to where I only rarely have to take anything for them.

Hard to say for sure but I have used them sparingly when I am at my worst and after a short course of them I do seem better but I think that's because they helped me break the cycle of anxiety and start either ignoring or just getting used to my tinnitus again. In my about 4 years I have had...

With such a small number of participants this device is years away. Just to keep this all in perspective. https://www.fda.gov/ForPatients/Approvals/Drugs/ucm405622.htm

I'm 64, tinnitus 4 years. I just make it, wonder if that's why I didn't get the call. Age discrimination I tell ya, LOL. Honestly, these style therapies have been around for a long time, even this clinic has had it for years and I will remain hopeful but not holding my breath for any commercial...

Well if they need people, I'm ready, I emailed the study and then emailed as many individuals as I could find their email addresses. I told them I am retired with plenty of time to devote to whatever they need but so far no takers.

It's not up to show wants to do it, they will be selecting candidates and from the sound of it, they will be drawing from the people who are in their immediate area.

I'm really a retired Network Engineer, IT communications.

It's more than just sound. Sound treatments, masking, notched, nature sounds and white noise have been around forever. They aren't a cure but help. There's some stimulation in addition to sound with the Shore device, I want to say Vagus nerve?? The down side of this it that their research and...

I think this test will hopefully produce the results we all want but that remains to be seen. I'm an 8 hour drive away but would consider making the drive if that's what it takes but as I mentioned, the response has to be in the tens of thousands of people and the selected group is most likely...

I received the same email and responded and asked to be considered for the trial but I suspect they will be overwhelmed by volunteers. I think it's going to be a little like winning the lottery if you are selected to participate.

Dump him fast, abusive guys like this never get better, they only get worse.

Most people have them and don't ever notice them. I have to look for mine and they are there but if 'm not looking for them I don't see them.

Tried CBD oil, not help, no harm. Too much puts me to sleep.

I wear Phonak Audeo V90 312T. You need to wear the optional Phonak ComPilotII around your neck, it's a small device that pairs the iPhone to hearing aids via bluetooth. I wear it under my shirt and nobody knows I'm wearing it or listening to sounds, or music or whatever. You can even answer...

I've had tinnitus for 4 years and wearing Phonak hearing aids for 3 years. They help, sometimes more than others. I use two built in white noise programs and can stream audio from my phone via bluetooth and use Zen tones that are really helpful. I have high frequency hearing loss. There are...

Does this article tell the truth? For those with hearing loss related tinnitus I believe yes.

You can look up the decibel levels of your car online. The highest for a POLO appears to be 74 but it can be as low as 65. https://www.carleasingmadesimple.com/data/volkswagen/polo/noise-level/ My car is rated 71 and by db meter backs that up at highway speed. It doesn't cause me any spike, I...

Auricle

This is an ear.

Donating the ears will do nothing for research. What goes on on the inside of the ear drum is where it's at. What they need to be looking at is auditory cortex, the part of the brain that processes auditory information. I don't know what they can lear from a dead brain. There's a misfiring that...

The stress and anxiety caused by tinnitus can create tension headaches. My opinion.

If you can identify your frequency there are a lot of sound files on the internet that you can use for free, they can be of some help but I don't think they are much better than white noise. If you really want to try something look at the Widex Zen app. I've been using it for about 2 weeks now...

Turner, I do shoot and at first was really down on myself for this blaming my shooting but to be honest I don't really know if I can blame it. I learned to shoot in the 60's when nobody knew about or wore hearing protection. Of course in later years hearing protection became mandatory. I spent...

I do it all the time. It's easier to put the muffs on over the glasses than to try and put your glasses on with the muffs on.

The vast and overwhelming majority of wood workers and recreational target shooters do quite well with hearing protection while engaging in those activities and never suffer hearing loss or tinnitus. It's important to live your life and it's not unreasonable to wear hearing protection in a wood...

Look for an Open MRI.

100 Hz is a low bass tone.

You can live anywhere you like but will need to visit the clinic as often as they need you.

They will provide hearing protection but if you want more I used 3M ear plugs (cheap) from Home Depot, all silicone and rubber and then put the MRI provided muffs over my plugs, worked great.

Absolutely safe and effective and if it's programed right you will find it is a tremendous help.

I don't but am aware of the technique.

Put a rubber band on your wrist and snap that, low tech but will deliver the negative association you are looking for at no cost.

I think there's an Android version but I can't confirm, I'm an iPhone user.

My new favorite is the Widex Zen app. There's one that's relatively new and it's very effective for helping me totally ignore my tinnitus. Unfortunately I seem to be in some cycle where I am able to co-exist with tinnitus and when it really gets on my nerves. Still learning but like the say time...

I've just started using the Widex Zen sounds, an app that is free. This has really helped my more than anything else I have tried in years and it's easy and free.

Val, You're not alone in that, from some of what I read nobody is clear on this. Sometimes the differences in programs in hearing aids only vary by very small increases or decreases. I'm in the process of being re-evaluated and having my Phonaks reprogrammed to better match the changes in my...

There are dozens or more sound files you can play in the background to cover while watching TV, I do it every day.

This could help. https://starkeypro.com/pdfs/technical-papers/Stream_Boost_All_About_That_Bass.pdf This is an area I am interested in as well, I'm wearing Phonak with a tinnitus app but just added the Widex app to my iPone and really like the Zen sounds. You can stream any manufacturers sound...

I'm going to give that a shot. Stay tuned for the updates.

I'm just using the term taken from the post I replied to. "These are not some punks in a startup" I guess they are only punks when they are engaged in a startup.

I have to differ with you there, Dr. Shore is the only career professional here. The rest are pretty much punks who are working for a grade and then they are out of there. Did you see the video? Not an impressive showing by the students. This therapy even if it does work is never going to be...

Cost?

Why are all the clinical trials conducted by insiders and researchers with an interest in the company that is having their device/drug tested? Why are you afraid of an anonymous double blind trial conducted by independent researchers with nothing to gain or lose by the outcome of the trial?

It's what gets me out of bed every morning.

I go through these ups and downs as well and never know why, I think most of us do. It should resolve for you but in the meantime the stress this can cause is as much a trigger as a loud noise.

I too have high blood pressure, been on Losartan 100mg for years. I posted something back in January asking how many of us have tinnitus and high blood pressure and there was never another post on that thread.

Not one, independent double blind clinical trial has ever been done. Big red flag there. It doesn't work until independent trials say it does. Until then, it's no better than a "Ring Stop" supplement.

The thing is we really have no other choice but to deem this noise harmless. This is the only way you will ever learn to co-exist with this. The negative people ate those who feed the misery machine by reinforcing how awful it is and how life sucks and will never be the same.

How do you get the 6 to 8 drops down?

I believe so, I am 64 years old and there's always the possibility of some age related hearing loss but I spent my life working in what we used to call Computer rooms and now call Data Centers and the noise is deafening. If that wasn't bad enough I always cut my own lawn and enjoyed wood working...
