    Side Effects of Vitamin D Supplements — Tinnitus and General Wellbeing Negatively Affected?

    Drachen, I'm pretty sure that taking vitamin D3 supplements makes my T worse. I've come across a number of places on the internet where people report that supplementing with D3 can cause severe insomnia. Taking D3 has done that in the past to me, though I have to say that sometimes have bouts...

    Running (Exercise in General) and Tinnitus

    Lane, that's good advice. My tinnitus began over a year ago, shortly after getting one of those small trampolines /rebounders. I stopped using the rebounder and began taking brisk walks, looking for hills to get a better workout. It's worked out pretty well. A couple of days ago I decided to...

    My Tinnitus Went Away! It Does Go Away

    He didn't say "It does not go away for everyone" (fact), rather "It does not go away for most people" (conjecture) and that the cure depends entirely on luck (broad guess). Then "Lucky You!" (condescending remark).

    My Tinnitus Went Away! It Does Go Away

    Rather jaded remark. What entitles you to say that?

    My Tinnitus Went Away! It Does Go Away

    Congrats, ThomasW for your success! Thanks for sharing your thoughts and careful observations. I'm 7 months into this and am open to trying new things, whether it be sound therapy, psychology or supplements. I appreciate the research that you've done, how you've cracked a code for yourself and...

    A Cold Medicine with Ibuprofen Silenced My Tinnitus

    Wonderful story! I love the thought of looking over a beautiful desert vista and realizing it was perfectly quiet. Did the cold medicine combination knock out your tinnitus for good? I looked up Dristan Tablets and sure enough they are discontinued in the US, though they are available in Canada...

    I Invented a Sound That Knocked Out My Tinnitus

    I was beginning to feel discouraged with only a modest improvement in the ringing after listening to the sounds for about 3 weeks now. This morning when I first got up I had to look hard for the ringing. That lasted only for a few minutes. The ringing did return and for a few hours it was very...

    I Invented a Sound That Knocked Out My Tinnitus

    Day 17 . After struggling with it in the first week or so, I've been sleeping longer hours listening with the Koss phones. Have been experimenting with natural/herbal sleep aids. Had a loud tinnitus on Monday, a big snow storm day but it calmed down to baseline the next day once the barometric...

    I Invented a Sound That Knocked Out My Tinnitus

    The 13th night... had a light tinnitus day the following day. The 14th night I slept well but only listened while asleep for about 5 hours, then dozed on and off, listening to the sounds, frustrated at not sleeping the full night with the headphones on. In the morning I notice the usual high...

    I Invented a Sound That Knocked Out My Tinnitus

    Night 12. Recently I've been sleeping longer hours while listening to Tinnitus Mix, giving it 8 hours or so. The sounds de-stress my mind. I'm trying to get to bed before 10pm and sleep/ listen for as long as I can. I'm not the best sleeper, so I'm taking things like passiflora, taurine or...

    I Invented a Sound That Knocked Out My Tinnitus

    Day 8 - Yesterday I took the Koss headphones / ear pieces out of the headpiece and sewed a closure inside a knit headband to secure them. It made it much more comfortable. The headphones stayed in place right on my ears and I could sleep on my side if I wanted. I can't believe I got 7 full hours...

    I Invented a Sound That Knocked Out My Tinnitus

    My next step is to do this therapy as long as possible while continuing to take turmeric, glutathione, and NAC supplements. Then I am going to slowly experiment coming off them and the Tinnitus Mix one by one and see if I am healed or if I am just suppressing the tinnitus. I want to go and hop...

    I Invented a Sound That Knocked Out My Tinnitus

    I wasn't expecting the hearing to improve like that... especially in less than a week! More people should be trying this. Now if I could get to where I'm able to sleep consistently with the headphones on I have a better shot at lowering or getting rid of the ringing. I'll try having the volume...

    Chiropractor Is Successfully Treating My Tinnitus

    E. Grace I appreciate you sharing the details. That must have been scary to look in the mirror and notice that your face and eyes were changing from the muscles tightening. It's gotten me thinking more about the complexity of musculature, especially in and around our face. I've not been in a...

    I Invented a Sound That Knocked Out My Tinnitus

    7th night of headphone use - I listen every day to the sounds for at least 6 hours but not necessarily while sleeping. Often it's been hard to sleep very well while listening. My hearing has improved since starting this. I couldn't hear over 10,400 Hz with my right ear since getting tinnitus...

    Chiropractor Is Successfully Treating My Tinnitus

    That is great news! It makes my heart glad to read stories like yours. I've had T since last July but have not considered Chiropractic. Good for you for seeking out the right kind of Chiro. Did she mostly work with the ligaments in your neck and back of the head? And thank you for sharing your...

    I Invented a Sound That Knocked Out My Tinnitus

    Morning after the 5th night of listening to Tinnitus Mix. Woke up after 4 hours or so of listening in sleep. Then I listened to it while awake. I then tried to sleep with the headphones on but only could nod out a little. I wanted to play external noise of crickets to help lull me back to...

    I've been using the Koss KTX-Pro1 headphones. I finally had a full night of restful sleep while listening to Tinnitus Mix with the headphones on. I'm excited! Thank you!

    Day 3 - I got 7 straight hours of use during sleep last night. Am feeling well rested. This morning my tinnitus seems like it's a higher, more singular note.

    I Invented a Sound That Knocked Out My Tinnitus

    After a few false starts, I'm committed to this. Last night was the second night that I was able to sleep while listening to it with the headphones on. I liked it and found it relaxing (mostly). Maybe the .wav version is better or I'm getting used to it. So far my tinnitus is still there but...

    I Invented a Sound That Knocked Out My Tinnitus

    Funny you should mention that. Last night I discovered on my own that wearing a cap over the headphones really helped. After putting on the cap I slept and listened most of the night with the headphones staying in place, even when I would roll over. Now I'm hopeful that I can do the program...

    I Invented a Sound That Knocked Out My Tinnitus

    @R. David Case Thank you for responding and for posting the quotes. I love the success stories! I'm intrigued by how the harsh noises in it would sound good and eventually I'd crave listening. Maybe it's like the poison that cures... a simplistic way to look at it, of course but I love...

    I Invented a Sound That Knocked Out My Tinnitus

    For now it seems that I'm unable to dip down and sleep while playing Tinnitus Mix. It kept me up. Probably should try to listen to Tinnitus Mix away from bedtime for a while to see if I can let go into it. I know that it's supposed to eventually sound relaxing but so far it varies from being...

    I Invented a Sound That Knocked Out My Tinnitus

    I've recently started experimenting with Tinnitus Mix. Bought the recommended Koss headphones weeks ago. As a newbie to tinnitus (4 months), I was too scared to try it at first but feel ready now. I have listened for an hour here and there and look forward to wearing the earphones during sleep...

    Tinnitus After Jumping on Mini Trampoline + Suffering from Allergies

    Hi Winstona, Thank you! I'm so glad to experience improvement from how bad it was in the beginning. I noticed a setback after I mowed the yard and weeded the veg garden yesterday. Maybe the vibration and noise, the bending and getting overheated aggravated my nerves. I'm trying to get used to...

    Tinnitus After Jumping on Mini Trampoline + Suffering from Allergies

    Hi fellow tinnitus sufferers and those who have healed from tinnitus. I'm new here. About a week ago I got a mini trampoline. The night after using it for the first time I woke up to crazy loud high pitched ringing in my head. The day before I'd also eaten some things that I'm not used to...
