    Blackseed Oil (Nigella Sativa)

    I've been taking black seed oil for probably 7 years now - like a religion. 1-2 teaspoons every day. I've purchased many brands of varying potency. I do the math to determine which brand and potency I'll buy. Black seed oil has really gone up in price over the last 5 years or so. But I don't...

    Never Give Up Hope & Never Give In! My Tinnitus Frequency and Severity Have Improved Substantially

    My tinnitus is very much like yours. Generally starts or ends in my sleep. Not always. I have been using sound therapy for probably 5 years. Sometimes it works well, other times not so well... meaning that the masking of the tinnitus lasts after I kill the sound generator. What I find that...

    Never Give Up Hope & Never Give In! My Tinnitus Frequency and Severity Have Improved Substantially

    I wanted to give an update to my June 26 post. While the intensity of my tinnitus is still less than it had been for years, it now seems that the numbers of days in the cycle are now 4 days on, and 3 days reprieve from the annoyance. Of those 4 days "on", I would say that 2 of those days are...

    Never Give Up Hope & Never Give In! My Tinnitus Frequency and Severity Have Improved Substantially

    Joe Cuber, Yeah, I can see the confusion I left you with. Yes, the off-cycle duration where my tinnitus is either undetectable or very slight has extended. I am now going about 2 tough days plus one milder day with tinnitus, followed by a solid 2 to 3 days without plus another 1 to 2 days with...

    Never Give Up Hope & Never Give In! My Tinnitus Frequency and Severity Have Improved Substantially

    This Forum has been a godsend to many of us who suffer with tinnitus, understanding that many if not most of us will never rid ourselves of this debilitating problem. Perhaps I can offer sufferers a modicum of hope... I am 66 years old and have been suffering with tinnitus for more than 7...

    Tinnitus Masking: In-Ear Maskers

    Just get some cheap wireless earbuds and download the free tinnitus apps available. White noise works best for me, but single tones in the 8000 to 9000 Hz range also work. No need to spend hundreds and thousands of dollars.

    I Became Better with Notched Sound Therapy and ACRN, After Two Years of Tinnitus

    I use it. It's free and often relieves my T. Sometimes works great, other times doesn't help much or the relief is slight and short-lived.

    High Ringing Treatment? Make It Better or Worse?

    For me it is VERY effective. Try this sight, dial in the freq and tone that best match your T, and listen to it for a few minutes. In my case, T all but disappears completely and the effects last a long time Even days now. What a godsend for me. https://www.audionotch.com/app/tune/

    Need Help Pinpointing Tinnitus Frequency

    I've been pinpointing my T freq and tone, single tone pitch as well. I'm lucky in that I erespond to sound generation which greatly reduces my T, often eliminating it for days. Just 5 or 10 minutes a day. Using AudioNotch https://www.audionotch.com/app/tune/

    5 Months with Tinnitus

    Have you tried this, and looked for specific frequencies? MyNoise doesn't help me much but give this PC link a try. Have different tones to select from and you can slide the entire frequency. Been a real help for my tinnitus, but then I believe I have residual inhibition type T. Try...

    A Hot Shower?

    New Guy... gotcha. I guess I see similar symptoms other than my T after a shower seems subdued for a while (not gone) but does come back to the original intensity or close to it. But there are days that I wish that I could stand in the shower all day. :-)

    A Hot Shower?

    Bill, I was taking 200 mg per day. 100 in th morning and 100 at night. It really did appear to be well correlated with my drop in T symptoms. Then, I noticed about 3 months ago that my T was getting worse. Funny thing happened. I had a job to do in Aruba, and didn't take any Zinc or...

    A Hot Shower?

    I have been suffering with what I describe as moderate tinnitus for about 1-1/2 years now. Initially, I had some success with high doses of Zinc and Magnesium. Seemed to reduce the cycle frequency and magnitude. Recently, the zinc and mag almost seemed to make it worse - so I layed low on it...

    New to Tinnitus

    I believe that zinc helped me... or it may have been coincidental. Can't say for sure unless I was to stop taking the zinc supplement and see if my T gets worse. But I'm not willing to do that. I have had tinnitus for about 1 yr. High pitched tone, mainly in my left ear but also in my right...

    Tinnitus for a Year, Zinc Seems to Be Helping with My Tinnitus

    Hi everyone. I'm new to the forum, so if I do not follow all the accepted protocol, you will have to let me know. My T started up about 1 year ago. Pretty intense, both ears but seemed mostly in my left ear. High pitched tone. Reminds me of when I was a kid going to rock concerts and the...

    Zinc for Treating Tinnitus

    I started taking 150 - 200 mg per day and I have noticed an improvement. The intensity has dropped, without a doubt. The duration and/or frequency of occurrence also seems to have diminished. Normally, my T acts up about every 3 days and lasts 1-1/2 to 2 days. Sometimes lasted 3 days...
