    The Underlying Cause — The Circulatory System?

    No Bill, I think I'm not being clear enough. The ringing is no longer constant. It comes after taking my meds and if you did get what I was saying (I apologize if so) the ringing is barely noticeable. With or without plugs.

    The Underlying Cause — The Circulatory System?

    To the best of my knowledge, the idea that a disruption in the audiotory brain as being the cause is a theory. Yet to be proved as fact but I can't accept that assumption as true for a number of reasons. 1. There are cases where an audible sound emits from the ear. A sound audible to those...

    The Underlying Cause — The Circulatory System?

    Honestly Bill, it's no where near what it was when we first spoke. I had the docs switch meds ( same medication, different form) and since then the ringing only occurs post administered. It lasts no more than 10 minutes.

    The Underlying Cause — The Circulatory System?

    I forgot to mention, that I no longer suffer from full blown tinnitus. It isn't until my meds are taken that the ringing becomes prominent.

    The Underlying Cause — The Circulatory System?

    Lo and behold a recent study finds a persons blood type may in fact, have significant relation to heart disease and other blood related issues. For the record, I happen to be O(-) which for those who aren't aware, is the only universal type. My experience with tinnitus has been relatively...

    The Underlying Cause — The Circulatory System?

    Hello everyone. It's been a few months since I've been here. I hope everyone is staying strong and positive. One day, there will be a cure, I'm sure of it. Now to my point. I've mentioned this before but seem to get relatively little to no feedback or encouragement regarding my theory that...

    I Had to Quit Smoking Weed Because of Tinnitus

    I'm relatively new to the experience of tinnitus. Mine initially began around 2 months ago and luckily went away. Within that time period I did research and used that research along with my own experience and formulated a hypothesis on the main cause of tinnitus. My best educated guess is that...

    I've Had Chronic Tinnitus Since November 2017, and After 6+ Months of Research, I Have a Couple Tips

    If it's truly coming from the brain in attempts to accommodate to sounds we no longer hear then this device would theoretically cure tinnitus. But no one has ever mentioned this or any product like it which leads me to my conviction that it is NOT coming from our brain. If any further evidence...

    I'm So Done

    This is sickening. It's so frustrating to know people are going through agony and most professionals are less than empathetic. I think I speak for most men on this site when I say how disheartening it is to read about young women in situations like yours. Something needs to be done and soon...

    Tinnitus Is Loud for 3-4 Days and Then Barely Noticeable for 3-4 Days

    Are you taking any medication? Mine T began a few weeks ago and rang for 5 days non stop and completely went away the 6th day. It comes and goes now in relation to the meds I take.

    Conundrum — Is Suboxone Causing My Spikes?

    I'm not 100% sure but I'm strongly under the impression my tinnitus is caused by my medication. It's the only plausible explanation. I dose...it spikes. I refuse...it stops. Sometimes it stops while I'm medicated. Very confusing. The problem is....I need my meds to fight anxiety and a former...

    Ear Fullness but No Infection?

    This is what I believe. I don't know much about the causes of tinnitus but I can't help but believe it has much to do with blood flow to the ear. Either a sudden rush of blood or lack thereof. I say this with conviction. I noticed my meds are contributing to my t and my meds are taken...

    Ear Fullness but No Infection?

    Exactly this. My right ear started feeling like that...the only ear that rings..so I was positive I had an infection but no. I also agree with gman. After looking in my ear for 2 seconds he made the determination. But I'll tell you why it makes no sense. Because my left ear started to feel that...

    Looking for Cases Like Mine...

    I'm guessing yours was on and off? How long would it stop ringing if that's what you mean by similar? Do you know why yours started? Mine had nothing to do with loud noises. I don't have a tumor and the audiologist said I have some of the best hearing she's ever recorded...like a 10 year...

    Possible Ear Infection

    Bill... How loud is your t? I'm wondering for perspective. I can't hear mine if I'm standing by a sink running the water. I've heard people here say they can hear their t over a shower which I have never experienced.

    Possible Ear Infection

    They were introduced in Belgium. Long story short...doctors implanted electrodes in the ear that ridded all patients of any t. It wasn't a cure but the noise was completely gone. Hania from this site knows more about it but apparently all of it came to an end when a patient who was successfully...

    Possible Ear Infection

    You might be right. It's back in the same ear ( right) and ot feels like there's something in there and my left ear. Which is not ringing. It started back up yesterday. After going completely silent. It also started coincidentally after I took a dose of suboxone. I need to call the specialist now.

    That's exactly what I told my mother. I fell asleep exhausted from trying to accept my circumstance.

    Well Bill...I know it may be a major coincidence or even a miracle but my t is gone! I know it's surreal but I'm in total shock and counting my blessings. I'm about 95% sure why I was afflicted. That being ototoxicity from the medication. I didn't want to say it but I abused the med in a manor...

    Introducing Myself and Losing All Hope

    It didn't fail. It was never announced on enough platforms and lost it's support. I wouldn't call those testimonials of being cured a failure I would call the notion of the procedure not getting a fair amount of recognition a failure.

    I can say I have experienced a similar effect and I'm on day 6 of having this condition. I've noticed that my t is relatively tolerable compared to some sufferers..and even though the ringing is non stop...it fluctuates. It was at its worst early this morning I couldn't sleep but throughout...

    It feels like a clog almost. Gradually "worse." I've had ear infections in the past and they have felt identical with the exception of the ringing which I want to add is a sound I've heard most of my life. Never constant but identical to whenever my ears would ring and it's superstition of...
