Wow! What a great bio. Glory be to God through our prosperity and trials. I have the story of Joseph with me these last couple months too. My tinnitus is no longer a hardship. It's fairly loud, but the Lord has surrounded me with joy and purpose. I'm going on 3 years with tinnitus. I would...

Exactly. Even a very low dose once at night and once around 3am. Keeping a routine with sleep and melatonin does wonders for my otherwise suffering nights with tinnitus.

I've had tinnitus for 2 years. This week I had a bad continuous spike, with no real cause. Only thing is I am constipated also this week. I'm not generally. As things got moving my spike had gone down gradually. I spike from many things for like, 6-8 hours. But this has been 4 days, I just...

My last post stated I was entering detox for alcohol. I'm 10 days sober and feeling amazing physically. I decreased my Clonazepam as soon as I got out, I've been steadily taking .5mgs for 5 days (started in January from 2mgs) and started taking Gabapentin 5 days ago, just 200mg at bedtime. My...

This is a very interesting thread. Clonazepam definitely took my tinnitus from a 10 to a 3. Other triggers bring it up, but I can identify them and spikes go down within 8 hours. I'm hooked on Clonazepam now after a year. I just today got prescribed Gabapentin for nerve pain. But I am 4 days...

I think I'm on the same ups and downs as you're dealing with. I can listen to the noise now and blank out, I care and would like it not to be, but I'm ok! I've never heard of Neuromonics. What's a reliable app source? I'll try something new that could help calm the storm even more I'm in a...

@Damien Cavanagh. Great post. My tinnitus is so much louder while lying down. Have you experimented with this more since February? As soon as I get out of bed, 10 minutes later, my tinnitus is down to an ok level. However, on the nights I miss a lot of sleep I'm tired enough it's louder than...

@Amv I agree with the first guy who responded and responded a couple of times. It seems as hind sight from my stand point that, if you are looking to find someone single... don't pin point someone else looking for a relationship. Friends are a good place to start because there's interest, but...

When I first got tinnitus, and didn't know what to do, I just kept seeking the right vitamin supplements. Even though I have found meditation to be the only true relief mentally, I did find that the apple cider vinegar treatment in my ears took away the stuffy feeling I had that first month. It...

@Jim Goose I've been thinking of you, I really believe you have a good chance of getting past the loud beginning. It takes time, but if you're ears aren't damaged from noise, your body just needs time to heal and habituate. Relaxing is key. Quality vitamins made from powder in capsules are far...

@nills how long did the Kratom spike last...? It's bad, I know I just posted last night when it hit. I passed the Chantix idea I had for now lol. Don't dare. Can you tell me what microdose Ibogaine means exactly and where to look for it. I looked online and there's too much conflicting information.

Wow, same story. Stressful job beyond the imagination, prescribed drugs to help, and a nicotine patch... Then bam! Caught tinnitus. Really loud at first, weeks and weeks. Came off everything, started vitamins. I'd been sworn off Clonazepam years prior, but got a hold of some from a friend...

Yes, Kratom started giving me a major spike. I'm speaking in the present. Normally take a modest amount, but I love the immediate effect it has when I'm just dragging, so I swallowed a teaspoon and my ears are getting scary. No anxiety involved, I'm quite calm, but if it continues I'm not going...

Thanks for the warning and I'll check out Ibogaine. Never heard of it, but then never heard of Kratom before February. I do wonder if people are triggered by different elements due to how their tinnitus was caused. It seems, just from reading posts for so long that people whose tinnitus was...

@Mantis11 I know this is an older post, but how are you doing now? We both got tinnitus about the same time last year. I so wish we tinnitus sufferers could talk to one another, not just type. At night I find that sleep headphones, not Bluetooth, with guided meditation on relaxation, teaches...

Haha would love it if doctors started prescribing MDMA for tinnitus. Haven't taken it since the 1990s... But made great fun!! As far as Kratom goes, I think it all has to do with what caused your tinnitus, to what spikes it. Baclofen probably caused my tinnitus, didn't realize the spike it...

No kidding! I'd gladly sacrifice my right arm for no drinking obsession. Addiction can make idiots out of even the smartest people. I'm currently getting help and seeking to put my impulses behind me. On a funny note, once, I thought the tinnitus was gone and I felt this quiet weird stillness...

Just confirming what I wrote a few weeks ago. I stopped the Baclofen and my tinnitus continues to go down more and more after almost a whole year of the noise, I get silence too now. WOW!! But if I take certain meds/supplements or drink alcohol it can be felt again for a day.

That's an excellent comment. I've found that to be true over and over again. Very reassuring.

Yes! I was on it for a year. 70 mg. Tinnitus hit hard and bad last May. I thought it was from other causes, So I stopped a lot of things and changed diet, started vitamins. Never thought it was the baclofen. Just thought my tinnitus was permanent. But then starting in January I decreased my dose...

Yay! I'm off the Baclofen completely, for over a week now. I'm sleeping fine/normal. Didn't suffer anxiety. And the tinnitus is much less bothersome at night! I can't believe how long it took me to make the connection because I had read online it may reduce tinnitus quite a while ago... And bc...

The benzo thing stinks... But in the very beginning it took my tinnitus from a 12 to a 3. From insanity to... I'm ok. I was above a 10 noise level. Do you know about Baclofen? Some studies suggest to people it could lower tinnitus, but for me, that could've been the very cause of it. As I lower...

I get flavored melatonin that melt in my mouth. What I do is put a 1/2 tab under my tongue during my final moments of adjusting for sleep. If I wake up at two or three, the tabs are breakable, so I stick a small part under my tongue to focus on. I couldn't live without sleep phones. Its like a...

Very very interesting. I think I'll keep a journal to compare. I start rest every night at 9:30/10. Clonazepam helped lower my tinnitus so much at first, I assumed it was the one thing I could grab to lower it. But now, let's face it, it helps me sleep, and I have screaming ears in the morning...

Wow! @winnitus Dr. Mandell pinpointed my issue. My jaw was broken and has very limited movement. I have sinus issues since a kiddo. I've done physical therapy to help many parts of my body but no doctor or ENT can even suggest the cause of tinnitus. Thanks, I'm used to small prescribed...

@winnitus Love the name and so much gratitude to your posting. I'm at an ultimate low. I used to be a massage therapist and then a second grade teacher. Having the background of massage therapy I will use all your suggestions... being at an ultimate low now I am smoking and drinking constantly...

Lol I'm just the opposite. Drinking brings it on immediately, but by two days later it's mellowed out. But 3 cups of coffee throughout the day does nothing to increase the volume. But I noticed your tinnitus was caused by loud noise and mine either a birth control, too much nicotine and a high...

My tinnitus fluctuates from a 2-4. Depending if I trigger it from stress or alcohol. But first, I've habituated, knowing it will decrease, the spikes no longer scare me. And second, I have not needed to increase my dose for tinnitus, I just completely appreciate where I'm at today. My tinnitus...

I live in Maine too. I got tinnitus in May and it was off the wall. My happy home with five children turned into a horrible nightmare. I was either screaming and crying curled up in a ball or staring at the wall like a zombie having no idea what I was ever going to do with myself. If it's that...

I too use it, stated it for tinnitus and it helped bring it from a 8 to a 3. It's been almost a year now, I take 1 1/2 mg every day. It does a great deal of good still, but the calming effects only last several hours, then I face my day with a level 5 tinnitus. At the moment the Clonazepam...

I certainly hope not. Tinnitus is caused by so many other factors. How are you doing now?

Forget that last reply. I started using SAM-e last month during hard times. I thought it was the stress causing the spike. Then this week I skipped the SAM-e for several days and half the spike disappeared. I had to report due to my latest posting.

I seem to have a reverse effect on things that work for others. NAC sends my tinnitus through the roof, and alcohol heightens the buzz/ring. CBD oil... I've spent about $500 trying to find a method of CBD that will work for me like it does others, it makes me buzz louder, temporarily...

My trance is Michael Sealey's sleep hypnosis from YouTube. He has like 20 to choose from. Lately I've been turning it off and letting the tinnitus trance me out. It feels great when I can do that... Like twice a week.

SAM-e never increased my tinnitus. Is black cohosh for hormones? I find things that shift my hormones increase my tinnitus. Just my own experience.

Yes it helps greatly with my mood and energy. I take them early. I use the SAM-e melts... as the big coated ones upset my stomach. I use it with a Vitamin B complex and I am through the roof pleased. I was so depressed, had tinnitus, then a hystorectomy which caused a hormonal crash on top of...

I'm the lucky drinker in that alcohol makes my tinnitus louder. It's all good, my teenage daughter's were about to leave if they saw another beer in the house. It was good timing for me to quit. Quiets my tinnitus, pleases my daughters. And I was a closet drinker, if only they saw what was...

Don't go back, I did. Im still mentally ok with the extra noise, but I was so relieved to be sleeping without background sounds. I went back for comfort and it brought back attention to the t at night. What the heck?! 'like rolling dice' I like that. If I'm stable I should not introduce new...

A factory doesn't seem right for you. You probably need a job that's quietish but busy. I put in my ear buds when my husband (because I refuse to) vacuums, or things similar. My job is very busy and I can't hear the tinnitus, then when I get home I listen to a little distractions on my...

My 16 year old daughter has insomnia unless Disney or a Barbie movie (made for 6-year-olds) are playing. She says it's trance for her too. Not her exact words, but it's trance. I used to club to trance and house music in the early 90s, so I have a great appreciation for the term. Soooo surprised...

Hi all, I'm here to say I am lost in addiction to nicotine and alcohol. I can get my tinnitus to lower, and I have the couple times I really gave up alcohol and vaping nicotine. But as soon as it lowers I'm right back into same routines and I spike to a constant 5. When I first developed...

If stress is an on going issue, I highly recommend cozy sleep phones $20, and looking up michael Sealey's sleep hypnosis. There's nothing like his approach. It's increadibly slow, meditative, caring and visual. It decreased stress like nothing I've ever known. It not only masks there sound but...

Your delay is something I'll try! For me it's Michael sealey's hypnosis through something called 'cozy phones' I ordered, sleep headphones $20. I can't actually get hypnotized, but deep !meditation, visualization that overrides the noise and then finally to sleep

Ok, I think the diet gave me hope to get through the time needed to habituate. I found night time sleep hypnosis taught by Michael Sealy taught me to find joy and calmness during the night. Most importantly, exactly what I feel, identify triggers and that I'm ok, even during spikes. The diet and...

Let me add, I didn't have T with analogs. And my patch only equals 7 mg which equals 7 cigarettes. Which is all I ever smoked in a day... Those organic cigs that you can smoke 1 and save half for later because they last alot longer... So I smoked about 14 times throughout the day. Vaping is...

I must report my findings as I have invested in so many helpful treatments. But treatments aside, I was a smoker and drinker for since forever. Because of a job I took I started vaping... In the bathroom during work hours and just Vaped all the time that year. That's when I developed tinnitus...

Found it interesting your profile pic is similar to min, lol. I am on a very strict diet to create myelin sheath in the colichea (sp?). Only started 6 days ago. Spinach is an every day thing... Ill look into that after reading about salicylates, i'll check the list. I just purchased Spirulina...

I know what the Tinaki Tinitus Protocol is claiming is close to many other things I've come across in that area, but this is so extensive and the pieces really match up with itself and with most recent successful research in tinitus, so I'm going for it!

If I had to put my finger on it I would say the huge ibuprofen dose was worse than the oxicodone. It is hard to decide in that situation. Tylenol seemed harmless mostly, and T seemed less if I did oxicodone and Tylenol. Worth the extra discomfort. I just started the Tinaki Tinitus Protocol...

Clonazepam was the only thing that stopped me from going insane! I suffered for a month with screeching loud T before I tried it. 1 mg twice a day for the first week. I then easily reduced to 1mg a day for last 4 months. T has remained as a 1-2. I researched online and found pharma gabba, large...

I've had T for 5 months, when I needed to go through a full hysterectomy surgery. I was so scared T would go back to a 5 or louder. Started off at a 9-10, I was a complete wreck, wanting to smash my head into a wall...or worse. I got it down to a 1-2. i tried everything and I think like a"...
