@MindOverMatter, If you don't mind me asking, what changes have you seen with your reactivity? For instance, mine reacts to fans, driving in a car, wind, etc. Are you at a point now where some noises used to cause reactivity, but don't anymore? Or is it that the reactivity in general is less...

@MindOverMatter, thank you for your feedback. Now that I’m into this sound therapy for a month or so now, I have some more questions if you don’t mind answering. 1. When you first started with sound therapy, did your ears react more than usual? 2. How would your ears react? Mine is like...

Hi there @MindOverMatter, I've read some of your posts on reactive tinnitus. I see that you have gotten a handle on this condition through sound therapy. I'm starting sound therapy for the third time. It's almost easier to tolerate my ears without the sound therapy, but it's still so unbearable...

@Bill Bauer, my best friend has IC. She was in hell for about two years before trying the autoimmune protocol (AIP) diet. Hers cleared up within a month of eating strictly AIP foods. She has introduced a lot of foods back into her diet. Sometimes if she cheats a bit too much she’ll get a minor...

@SarahJT Very interesting post. I wonder if I'm histamine intolerant too. My tinnitus started after several things, one being a steroid shot while pregnant. I'm wondering if that threw my body into a histamine intolerant situation leading to tinnitus. My tinnitus fluctuates a lot and I'm...

Hi Rosco, I’m a HS teacher in San Diego and also got tinnitus when I was 39. I’m 41 now. I take a small amount of remeron (1-2mgs) for sleep. Something to consider trying. I sleep 9 hours per night and it doesn’t spike my tinnitus.

@Tybs Thank you for posting your success story! I have an alpha stim device. I used it for about a month, but it made my tinnitus worse. I wonder if I abused it though. Sometimes I would wear it for 60 minutes at a 3.5 setting. What setting and duration did you use? I may give it another...

I just had a hearing test 18 months after my last two hearings tests around January 2019. Both audios performed in January 2019 were similar. The one I had done today was completely different showing massive changes for the worse. Where I could hear in the ultra high frequencies between 0 and...

@Gopher93 Thanks for your story. Has the tinnitus loudness stayed at the same level or improved throughout the 2 years?

@Peet Great to hear. Where is this back to silence technique? Would be interested to try it out.

@Ken77 Have you had any improvement in the reactiveness of your tinnitus?

@SoundB0und Hi Soundbound, I received my enlas 520 bcb device today. You said you used it incorrectly in your left ear when you first got it. I'm wondering if there is any special way to insert the plugs? Can you please let me know! Thank you, Renee

I am desperate for tinnitus relief and I'm sure other people are too! Do you think there's any way we could organize a group of individuals to convince Frequency Therapeutics/FDA to allow us to take FX-322 under "compassionate use" before it is released to the market?

How long did she have tinnitus and do you know what sounds she heard? Was the noise also in both ears and/or head?

@ring a ding Hi there. Just curious how you're doing now. Did the tinnitus fade even further with iron supplements? I'm thinking about trying the same. I just looked at my bloodwork and my hemoglobin is in the higher range. Does this mean I"m not anemic? What blood tests did you take to...

@RoeTaKa Hi, I just read your post. I see that you had tinnitus for about 2 years, right? I've had it for 18 months now. How many months after getting tinnitus did you start to see an improvement? Did it take you a total of 8-9 months from the point at which you started to see improvement...

@MusicTeacher Hi Tom, Sorry to hear about your tinnitus. I've been suffering for 18 months now and recently started Tinnitus Retraining Therapy (TRT). It has a huge success rate, especially if your T is noise induced. I'm 4 months into it and it may be a few more months before noticing a...

@SoundB0und Thank you so much for your reply. I found the device you use on the site! I may just order it and see what happens. I did some more research and found that one guy found improvement after 6 years of tinnitus. The device I found is $820. Does that seem about right? Just a...

@SoundB0und Hi sound bound, I really appreciate your post. I have some questions about the laser device you use. If I'm 18 months into tinnitus, do you think it's too late to have success with the emLAS-520 BCB? I'm also looking on the knoftec website and there are many devices to choose...

Hi AnnawithaT, Thank you for your response. How long of doing the exercises did it take until your tinnitus started to settle down?

I’m wondering what silence sounded like before I got tinnitus. Do any of you ever remember hearing any form of ear noise and/or head noise? What do you think is considered “normal” auditory noise in a quiet room?

Hi AnnawithaT, I came across your post and started doing these exercises yesterday. My tinnitus quieted down right after doing them and then came back with a vengeance a few hours late, but when I woke up this morning, my ears seemed quieter. Did your ears do the same after trying the...

Have you thought about counseling others? I think you would be great!

Yes all your info is extremely helpful. I’m seeing a therapist right now but she doesn’t have tinnitus and her method for helping me not fear the noise isn’t working. I noticed you went to a hearing therapist. I can’t seem to find any in my area. Is this the same as a CBT therapist? If not...

I have the high pitch squeaks too. Exactly like you. It’s awful. Have you seen improvement with this? If so, did you do anything that helped?

A couple more follow up questions, Michael. How long of using TRT did you notice an improvement in your hyperacusis? Also, I read in one of your posts about the Tiex device and that you wear it two times a day. How long do you wear the device each time?

Hi Michael, I'm reading through your threads. You included a lot of great information. I will continue reading them. Thank you! I can't seem to get out of this vicious cycle of anxiety, doom and gloom, and wanting to commit suicide. It's really sad because I look at my daughter and feel...

Hi Michael, Thank you for the info! I've had tinnitus now for 14 months. I'm not sure how it was caused. I did have a history of listening to music through headphones but not the year prior to developing tinnitus. I was also never the concert goer type. The week I got tinnitus I was in...

Hi Michael, I'm sorry for bothering you again. Basically I'm dealing with tinnitus that creates a high pitch whistle that overlays some machine noises (AC, fans, driving in a car, etc.) and wind. It's very intrusive. I'm wondering if I can beat this part of my tinnitus with TRT? I read...

Hi Michael, I'm new to this site and have been reading lots of your posts. I am dealing with very intrusive reactive tinnitus that I got during pregnancy over a year ago. I have lots of questions and would like to PM you, but don't know how to use this site. Should I ask you questions on...

When it started: I developed tinnitus during the 3rd trimester of pregnancy in Nov. 2018. It was a very stressful pregnancy as I was told my baby was not growing properly and we might lose her. They prepared me for early delivery by giving me a betamethasone (steroid) injection in the hip...
