    In Loving Memory of Padraigh Griffin

    This really came as a shock to me today - I had no idea. Truly tragic and heartbreaking. My condolences go out to his friends and family. RIP.

    Severe Tinnitus Has to Be One of the Most Mentally Challenging Conditions

    I don't know about notched audio therapy. How do I go about trying this? Is it an app?

    Naltrexone as a Tinnitus Treatment

    My doctor flat out refused to consider this option for me - said there wasn't enough evidence. So in effect keep on suffering.

    Repeated Modified Nerve Blocks and Auditory and Non-Auditory Nerve Stimulation

    I know where you're coming from. I've just come off two days of misery and it's semi reasonable today. I know during the night tonight it's going to ramp up for another 2 days of torture. And the cycle goes on and on.

    Repeated Modified Nerve Blocks and Auditory and Non-Auditory Nerve Stimulation

    And mine also - always reset by sleep. Mine follows a distinct pattern. 1 to 2 days of tinnitus at a manageable level followed by 2 to 3 days of severe tinnitus and the drop or increase always takes place when I am sleeping or trying to sleep as I wake 3 to 4 times a night.

    Studies Confirm Tinnitus Improves Over Time

    I've had tinnitus for 3 and a half years. No improvement. It's almost certainly worse.

    Mirtazapine Helped Me

    The first week was a revelation taking this. Now 3 weeks in and my tinnitus pattern is back to normal. So it hasn't helped me.

    Sleep Elevates My Tinnitus

    I suffer from my tinnitus fluctuating wildly during sleep - go to bed and it's manageable, about a 2, only to find it has risen to a 9 when I awake. Then after a few days of it at 8 or 9, go to bed and wake up and then it's a 2 again for a whole day - and the cycle continues like groundhog day -...

    How to Habituate to SSHL and New Loud Tinnitus

    Hi @billie48, since a permanent spike just over 3 years ago I have a very intrusive tinnitus in my right ear. There was a period earlier last year when I would have 2 days really bad then 2 days manageable and so on - now I'm not even getting the 2 good days. Anyway for the period I suffered...

    How Do You Deal with Your Tinnitus While Meditating?

    It's how Glenn Shweitzer apparently habituated to his tinnitus (see 5 mins in) I believe Dr Bruce Hubbard used this approach also

    I Invented a Sound That Knocked Out My Tinnitus

    Give it a rest pal - I honestly don't think you're well @AfroSnowman. What absolute drivel you spout. You maintain this is rubbish and Mr. Case believes it works and never the twain shall meet. So draw a line under it and leave it there please for all our sakes.

    I Invented a Sound That Knocked Out My Tinnitus

    Hi @Bells. How did you use the sound file - during the night or during the day? For how many hours? Every day? etc. I find it difficult to wear the headphones while sleeping so have always given up before really starting.

    I Invented a Sound That Knocked Out My Tinnitus

    I have a question - my tinnitus is noise induced but I really only have it bad in one ear - my right. My hearing in that ear is quite bad and I now wear a hearing aid. Should I wear the hearing aid while listening to Tinnitus Mix?

    I Invented a Sound That Knocked Out My Tinnitus

    Hi David, I looked at the Spec for my Sony WH-1000XM3 noise cancelling headphones and it says frequency response (Active Operation): 4 Hz- 40,000 Hz. Which I think means with the cable attached (not Bluetooth operation). So would these not do...

    I Invented a Sound That Knocked Out My Tinnitus

    Thanks David. I will try and get hold of the earbuds or the KOSS. I am pretty desperate and willing to try anything now. My tinnitus spikes every 2 days no matter what - I even wake up with a spike now. God knows what is happening to me.

    I Invented a Sound That Knocked Out My Tinnitus

    Hi David, I was going to give this a go. I was wondering if I could use my Sony WH-1000XM3 Noise Cancelling Headphones? In the UK it's quite tricky getting the KOSS but I could try and source them if the Sony are no use. Thanks.

    Long Tinnitus Spike for 10+ Months — Anyone Else with Long Spikes? Can It Still Get Better?

    Thanks for the reply. It's a weird one as a couple of weeks ago my hearing out of the ear was great - no issues and the tinnitus had settled down and I was thinking I was starting to habituate - like I was pre October last year. Then suddenly it gets worse which in turn make me more anxious...

    Long Tinnitus Spike for 10+ Months — Anyone Else with Long Spikes? Can It Still Get Better?

    Hi I'm hoping some can offer some advice for me. Has anyone suffered from a spike that has gone on for 10 months or more - that's the stage I'm at now? When my tinnitus started it was very low, almost unnoticeable on a daily basis and this lasted for over a year until October last year for...

    Tinnitus Since September 2017 — Permanent Spike in October 2018 Possibly Due to Stress

    Hi everyone, I started noticing a noise in my right ear back in September 2017 and saw an ENT specialist in March 2018 where it was confirmed I had high frequency hearing loss in both ears. At this point in time it had no noticeable effect on my day to day routine as the noise was so low and...
