Same thing here. Some mornings I would wake up and have no perceived T until I start listening for it, then it ramps up and louder over next few seconds. Maybe if I never thought about it, it wouldn't exist, but alas, my mind always does a mental T check first thing in the morning like...

Now THIS is what I call a successful story!! Thanks for sharing and hopefully you stick around a little to give hope to the rest of us :rockingbanana:

Did it just completely disappear one day or slowly over time? If it was sudden disappearance, do you remember doing anything different that day?

I have been following this thread for a while now and reading all the user experiences has really killed my hope for this device. I'm now convinced Lenire's self-reported 70% success rate is a lie and they actually are no better than placebo. And for some even worse than that.

You'd be surprised how little PhDs know outside of their very specific field. I work with senior electrical engineers that don't know how to check their car tire pressure. I had to help one of them check it!

The latency can vary in the same unit due to the varying distance of the headphone, the signal strength of the receiver, the buffering time and codec used to compress the audio. A Bluetooth codec such as AAC has an average of 350ms latency. That is high enough that if you are watching a fast...

I'm curious how Lenire can work off signal timing based on the very precise millisecond timing between sounds and tongue zap... ...but then uses Bluetooth headphones? Which has a very high latency in hundreds of milliseconds and it's not a constant latency too. It fluctuates and very difficult...

Good to hear these great feedback!! I actually came across this news article today about a neuromodulation device available in Canada, and I was like omg they approved Lenire here?? (I'm from Canada). Turns out it's a different device aimed at traumatic brain injury but same concept at trying...

@Methos1979 I actually returned my Bose QC35s after a month due to aggravated T after extended use. It could just be me being paranoid, but it definitely felt louder. I think the NC is actually TOO good. You can feel a vacuum/pressure change when the NC is on high. I actually switched to...

Hey you wanna buy my bottle of T B-GONE? Just because you dont know it, doesn't mean it's not a known cure

Did you even read what I wrote? YES YOU CAN SAY THAT because there isn't a known cure. Same way you can say there is no cure for AIDs just because you dont know about it. Just because you dont know something dosen't mean it exists. I think you need to go back to school and take Logic and...

You are falling for logical fallacy called "proving non-existence". We cannot prove universal or absolute non existence. I.E God exist until you prove otherwise. There is magic since there is no evidence to prove that there isnt. A CURE FOR T IS OUT THERE, you just don't know about it

There could be aliens in Area 51 that you don't know about, just because you don't know something exist doesn't mean it doesn't exist.

Tell that to the millions desperate people spent on placebo and pseudo tinnitus cure drugs. Again there is NO cure at the moment! It doesn't matter if they have drugs going through trials, there have been drug trials for AIDs for decades with no results, and it's perfectly truthful to tell them...

Hi Dylan Unfortunately there is no cure or anything effective for tinnitus. However, they just released a new device called Lenire and there is a good chance it might be the first of its kind to work for tinnitus. We'll know within the next few months if it's just a dud or a miracle.

@CroakyBat I have T for 2 and half years now and I use headphones at work every day then go to gym with headphones and then go home and play games with headphones. I Probably put in 2000 hours between Overwatch and Apex Legends. My T was noise induced from a concert so according to some people...

Wheres the option 5: Forget how you got here. Start shooting guns and playing in a band and end up back in a few years

How does someone come to that conclusion when the device hasn't even been field tested yet? Also this is the first iteration of the device, once they collect enough data and feedback, I'm sure they will improve the device. Just like any product, even the first iPhone wasn't very good.

@WaqasVic did yours slowly fade over the 5 years? Like did it physically fade or just the way you notice it? And if it did, was it a gradual fade or speed up at certain periods?

Idiot coworker blasting a air horn canister next to my ear inside a small room

Let's just remember that if reports of Lenire working come back, it will be for the first time in history there is actually a science based treatment for tinnitus!! Imagine you just came back to visit Tinnitus Talk for the first time in a year and BOOM! A potential cure has been discovered...

If it's not noise induced, there is a very good chance of it going away, esp if its low. But no one can know for sure since there are no definitive answers for this condition. You mentioned you had TMJ since a teenager. Has this recently gotten worse? I.e you started hearing clicking/grinding...

What's that saying? fool me once, shame on you, fool me 4 times, can't fool me again? :D

If ur T is new and already fading to nothing then yes theres a 90% chance it will go away completely. Just stay away from loud music for awhile and dont read horror stories because trust me, the people spreading them are select few die hards and the stories are NOT true for the majority of people

If your ears feels constant clogged, like muffled or one ear sounds more clear than the other. There is usually a physical cause for this, i.e eustachian tube clogged or ear wax, TMJ could also cause hearing issues. NOW WHICH ONE? - If you plug your nose and blow and only one eustachian tube...

@Chris M The fade is indeed non linear. Mine still fluctuate daily after well over a year. I can usually predict how loud the day will be by how loud it gets in the morning though.

@Chris M much better actually. I've recently found out I have TMJ and been doing jaw exercises and using a night guard. Progress has been good, just wish I found out earlier and not a year something after I got T It sounds like EeEEEeeEEe im sure you know the sound

Happy anniversary! Even if its a unwanted one. How is it going? I'm on 15th month and feel like time has slowed for me. The last 15 month feel like its actually 50 months

Phone meters are good up to around 90dB. Thats what the mic is capped at and the phone will report 90 even if its 120dB For my phone samsung galaxy S7, I tested my against a handheld meter, and the phone app is accurate up to about 80 then it gets less accurate for each dB above 80

@Rohit Saluja I believe you may have TMJ or more specifically disc displacement with reduction. The clicking comes from the your jaw sliding in and off the disc when there is jaw movement. See 2 min 30s Now that the clicking us going away it would mean reduced imflammation and possibly less...

So in addition to a 2000 dollar sound machine, you have to spend $75 to buy their magical headphones because a normal headphone just wont do :ROFL: Oh not to mention they offer no scientific paper or studies showing effectiveness. And not sold on amazon so people cant give it 0 stars product review

That is actually quite funny to read. No offense! Mine started very uneventfully, just a normal day at the office, I started hearing a tiny high pitched noise. I walked around looking for the source, but couldnt find it. Then I plugged my ear and still heard it. Thats when i freaked TF out...

It's good to read your story since it shows T can dissapear even years later. As opposed to merely just habituating. Gives people like me hope

Thanks! I will look up the NTI splint. You mentioned it took 4 years for T to dissapear. Was this a very slow fade? Or did you notice noticeable results right after getting a splint?

A can of soda gave u tinnitus?

Keep in mijd the 32dB reduction is not across the board. It will typically reduce more at high frequency and less at lower frequency. For example most of the volume at a concert or club is in the bass whuch is around 20-100hz range. A 32bB earplug will much lower dB attenuation at this range

Hi @Kara77 thanks for coming back and updating us. I read your post and realized how similar my T is to yours. I also have T after a concert and TMJ as well. I was thinking of getting a nightguard. Do you think that would work as well as a splint? Im not sure of the difference. Do you only...

There really is no explanation. Most mild T comes and goes depending on which part of your brain is more active at the time. Happens to alot of people including me

There is also a meditation app called Insight Timer which I've been using. It's free so anyone who wants to save some money should try it as well.

Breaking news! A tinnitus suffurer has discovered eating deodorant cures stomache cancer

ahh yes I remmeber the older trains had no AC and all the windows were opened. On top of that all the noise reflected off the tunnels. Def recommend ear plugs

Visited London last year. The trains were indeed very loud. Esp the older ones. Measured at 90+ dB. I think it's the same for most subways.

So just as i suspected it was a piece of hair touchin the eardrum. My dogs hair :facepalm: u should probably check your ears too since yours sounds similiar

Is the crackling always there or just when you move jaw/ear?

impossible for 2 reasons. 1) cellphone mics typically has upper cutoff range of 90dB. Phone apps cannot reliable measure above 100dB. 2) ever try blowing into a mic? It comes out super loud over the speakers. same thing with wind. The air movement just move the mic diaphram and mimics a super...

So I noticed when I went to sleep last night there's a crackling noise in my left ear. It only happens when I move my jaw or pull on my ear. Also happens when I shake my head. So I think it might be earwax or a piece of hair. It is annoying, but on the other hand since noticing this, my...

I have these. They are 25dB earmuffs but also has speakers so u can listen to music. The sound quality isnt very good but it does the job Howard Leight 1030110 Sync Noise-Blocking Stereo Earmuff (Black)

Actually I have been going to the gym more consistanly in the last few weeks. Not to help with the T. But because i booked a upcoming vacation and i wanted to get in shape. Other than that everything has been routine. Not sure if the T improvements has anything to do with the gym sessions. But...

I haven't been doing anything to help other than avoid loud places like bars/concerts/movies. There isn't much you can do (actually there is nothing you can do). first 3 and half month the spike was constant, but in the last week it's lowered by maybe 50%. Just be patient and it will most...

Your increased T most likely came from the club night. I went to a concert with 30db ear plugs and 2 days later the T increased by quite abit. The spike has been with me for 4 months now but in the last week ir so has shown some improvements. Earplugs dont attentuate low frequency very well...

Mine dissapears when i pee. And for a short time after a shower.

Swoosh

It's a quote from Red from Shawshank Redemption :ROFL:

your advice is to avoid everything. Live under a rock and speak in whispers. If i was to follow your advice I honestly believe my quality of life would be worse off. To quote Red "Terrible thing, to live in fear"

Yes even after my T worsened after going to a concert, I still would'nt take the batteries out of my fire alarm or disable my air bags. See unlike you Bill, I have loved ones in my life, and i would never endanger their lives on purpose out of paranoia of T. Also going to a 110db concert for 6...

I did. However earplugs can only do so much for you at 110+db and 6 hour concert.

I expect no less from you Bill. That's because some of your message are dangerous and can potentially get someone killed. Taking the batteries out of smoke alarms? disabling the passenger air bag? I know in your twisted head these are acceptable but giving that advice to others and encouraging...

This is way beyond narcissistic. This is sociopathic/physcopathic at its finest. I guarantee you if there was a group of people standing in his way of a possible cure he wouldnt hesitate to step on the pedal and run them all over. What he is doing is basically bombarding this forum with the...

@Saturn Sorry to disappoint you but he's right there are no definitive answers in T. No one can tell you if when or how your T will change. And unless the cause is obvious like sudden noise trauma, it is hard to pin down the cause as well. The best course of action is to look for things to...

@Kitty K Tinnitus is not always acoustic trauma related. Although it is the most likely cause in most cases. If you search the forum, you'll come across many accounts with people that have perfectly good hearing and tinnitus. A person can catch a cold and their eustacian tube can plug up for a...
