Thanks. Come to find out that it also causes Gout, and I recently wound up in Emerg. because of it. They prescribed a gout med, and I followed up with my doc. informing her that Emergency told me (in writing) to get off of it immediately. She prescribed Amlodipine which can affect 0.1-1.0% of...

Similar to me. I can't sleep with anything running, so listening to it overnight is not an option. Been using if for a couple of months 3-4 hours a day. Most certainly is working for me.

The beauty of groups like this are the capabilities to ignore, this group is no exception. I prefer to call it a "clown cage". You are getting added to mine, enjoy, you will have company.

I have, been using it for a month or more and it is working. Take it or leave it, I don't care. Others in the 50 page thread have said the same thing. Is it really necesasry to accuse someone of mental illness? Your post is about to be reported.

So what? They worked better than my Altec Lansings and a pair of Sony's that I had, and that's all that matters to me. Really, don't you have better things to do than worry about what kind of headphones are being used?

I'll throw this out while waiting for David to answer. I used Altec Lansings, a bit dated but were pricey when I got them, then switched to the Koss, seemed much better. I can't listen to it while sleeping, very light sleeper so I listen to it during the day, 3-4 hours. It has taken longer...

I'm sure as hell not scared to say it works for me David. All I can say is if they want to play mob, then go for it. Ignore button works great for clowns. :)

Great post thanks for sharing. What I find worse are those that say "no cure" and shout it from the rafters. Got into it with an admin on one of the facebook groups. Claims that the only cause is damaged hair cells, despite the fact that I gave her medical papers indicating it is not the only...

Audiology is private in Nova Scotia, and as such is not covered by MSI (Nova Scotia Medical Services Insurance). Devices that fall under Class 1 do not need to be licensed by Health Canada, anything in any other class does. Trouble is I can't find out if hearing aids are Class 1 or one of the...

I just got Vibes for $37 Cdn., and Alpine Hearing Race for $35 through Amazon Canada. I'm in Nova Scoita.

Nova Scotia, Canada. ;)

Got an nVidia Shield and play a few. Nothing hardcore, I'm 66. Unkilled, GTA, few more titles.

I had hyperacusis for a brief time, but it seems to have vacated. Tire noise and the radio bothered me so I wore my Vibes on occasion.

Sure is, the stats in Canada are 4 out of every 10 have it.

I have confirmed ETD. The T. is primarily in my left ear, but earlier on it would switch back and forth, and would sometimes be in both ears. In the last month it has been in the left ear only.

I think they are referring to the European population, not the worldwide population....

I've watched quite a few talk about Tinnitus, Dr. Allan Mandel, Austin Goh, Joy Remini, list goes on and on. He is not unique... Wonder what he did though, to bring down the hammer.

Sounds like someone may have complained...

That's my take on it. There are plenty of videos on YouTube about tinnitus, I have watched a lot of them. EDIT: Just clicked on the vid, can't be played, the account has been terminated.

Very strange indeed. I've never heard of a case where it changes based on the sound being heard. Have you had the "clicky" jaw looked at? I've heard of teeth causing it, but only if someone grinds them during sleep. How's the anxiety these days? The tinnitus may clear up if you can get...

Definitley sounds like yours was induced by anxiety/depression. It also sounds like you have Hyperacusis, aversion to everyday sounds. I had that for a while, but it doesn't seem to bother me much now. Things like the vaccum, heat pump, car radio, tires on the road, that sort of stuff...

My tinnitus is caused by concussion or ETD. Some nights my tinnitus is pretty loud and quiets right down when I put plugs in. However, I have been using foam earplugs for some odd 20 years as I'm a light sleeper. That may have something to do with it.

So you don't know if you have ETD or not? No HBOT chambers for use in Nova Scotia that I'm aware of, and if there were it would be cost prohibitive. The Eustachi works for me and I'll stick with it, thanks. I haven't tried Gua Sha, but do practice some Qigong exercises with moderate success.

Problem with Valsalva and other maneuvers is that one can blow to hard. The Eustachi is set at 5psi so a lot less chance of doing any harm.

I got one the other day. I've been suffering with tinnitus since Feb. 7th. It also came to light that I have ETD, and had BPPV. The Valsala often didn't work for me, and I've tried on and off for 1/2 hour some days to get my Eustachians to clear. Got this, and it cleared them in the first...

Big question is if they are under no obligation why did they do so? Secondly they didn't need it when you offered it, and all of a sudden they require it? You really need to talk to a disability attorney and/or the Quebec Human Rights Commission. Like I said it will be an uphill battle, and...

I have a mabis steamer inhaler and it works well. I also got a Eustachi yesterday. I sometimes have a problem clearing my eustachian tubes with the Valsalva. The Eustachi literally cleared them in seconds. I see you are in Canada, both are available on amazon.ca. I have had good success...

Okay, just noticed you are from Canada. The key here is that they have accomodated. It doesn't really matter that the Manager has changed. They have recognized that you have a disability, and they very well can't unrecognize it. Most Provinces have a lawyer referall service. Here in Nova...

Hey Eric, I spent 20 years in I.T. with the Province of Nova Scotia. Mostly net security and accounts management. Can they not set you up to work from home? Have you broached that with them? There may be recourse through your State's Human Rights agency. I was also a shop steward here, and...

Yup I agree. I actually have two sets on the way, Vibes, and Alpine Hearing Race for riding the Harley.

Ditto, it works for me, and that's all I care about. I just don't get it some folks are content to just slam whatever comes down the pipe, not only on here but on Facebook, seen it time and time again, no matter what it is. Maybe it's just me, but I'll try anything that is offered within...

*shrugs shoulders*, fill your boots.

Again, why follow something if it is aggravating...

You say this pseudoscience is annoying you, yet you choose to follow it. Most people would tend to ignore something that bothers them... Methinks you are a troll then.

Then don't follow the thread, it really is that simple...

"So what...", yup, it is crass... To put it bluntly it sounds like you are pissed that it works for some of us and not you.

You're probably right, on reflection. In any case it sure is welcome news. :)

Good to hear! I had a bit of a setback, I have ETD and guess what, now I have another head cold. *sigh*. Still, it isn't that bad. Listened to the file twice today and it helped.

The website says it will be available in select clinics in Europe. I'm willing to bet one would have to show up with documentation showing you are a resident of the country(s) in which it will be available. Very nice gesture in any case and kudos to you for offering.

"So what if it works for some people." Hm, if it works it works, it has for me and that is a good thing, at least for me. Too bad it didn't work for you, but is there really any need to make a crass statement about it?

Thanks, my T. came on 3 weeks after my concussion. I had the concussion on Jan 21st and woke up dizzy. Went to emerg and the doc said the concussion did not cause the dizzyness. He thought I had Meniere's or ETD. Tinnitus did not start until Feb. 7th. Turned out I had the ETD, and BPPV...

I have ETD but don't get any new tones. I had Hyperacusis, and aversion to certain sounds, vaccum, heatpump, etc. It also used to bother me to drive in the car. That has gone away. It's possible that is what you are experiencing. I most likely got ETD from a bad cold in December, that...

I'll echo on what others here have said. I have ETD in my left side that is affecting my left ear. I probably got it in Dec. after a bad head cold, which didn't come to light until I had a TBI in January. Mine is slowly clearing, and I get more good days than bad, many of which are tinnitus...

I have ETD and some fluid in the left ear. I discussed with my Balance Therapist as I had BPPV, and with my concussion doc. Both said the fluid is nothing to worry about and they will continue to monitor. Doc will check again on the 25th. Popping is a normal action for the Eustachian tubes...

You're welcome, hope it helped...

I was diagnosed with inflamed eustachian tube and BPPV. Both can lead to tinnitus. The BPPV has resolved but the tube is still inflamed. I also at this moment have a bad head cold that is aggravating it. I can't clear my left eustachian, and at this point in time it is loud. You may also...

*Shrugs shoulders*. He made some snide assed remark so I Ignored him, end of story.

Sorry to hear that, it states it works in 50% of the cases. I'm on my 10th day and it is working for me.

Damn. Now have a head cold, hope it doesn't make my ETD worse...:depressed:

Not with any kind of certainty. https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC4877436/ "With high-resolution images, the soft and bony anatomy of the Eustachian tube can be assessed in detail. CT and MRI are best suited to identifying features associated with obstructive or patulous Eustachian...

It can, my concussion doc prescirbed a year's worth of Budesonide...

It is possible that the ringing will go away once the ETD does. I know that when I steam, or clear the Eustachian Tubes with the Valsala movement that the ringing goes away. I'm not saying this will be the same for you as it could be caused by something else. Also my concussion doc had a...

Are you a medical professional, and if so how can you diagnose from afar without seeing a patient? It very well could be an ototoxic reaction, or it could be from the earbuds. Only way to find out is to get a professional to have a look.

I have ETD, and until recently, BPPV. Balance Thereapist checked me yesterday on the BPPV, and all is normal now. I'm on Budesonide as my left eustachian tube is infected. I too can have periodic fluid on that side in the ear, but my concussion doc, and Balance Therapist are not concerned...

Yup, I have a mabis steamer inhaler and use patchouli, lavender, eucalyptus, peppermint and tea tree oil (not all at once, I use a couple at a time). You have to be careful, a drop or two of each is sufficient. You can also use it as straight steam as well. Also do it in a seperate room if...

Another update. Saw my balance therapist yesterday. The BPPV is no longer an issue, it is resolved.

Thanks, I was debating which ones to buy. Think I'll stick with the KTX...

I'm in the same boat, very sensitive to night noises, and in fact have been wearing foam earplugs nightly for 20 years. I listen to it on average for 4 hours a day, and have been for 8 days. It appears to be working for me.

Sorry misunderstood, thought you were slamming me for listening to David's file. My appoligies.

LOL it's not a music file. It's clear you have a pissing match with David, so be it and I won't get involved in that. Just what kind of medical background do you have that gives you the right to diagnose someone that is a few thousand miles away anyway? I don't have a hearing loss for...
