JohnAdams, I would tend to agree with you, below is my hearing test and my audiologist said that I had minimal hearing loss, I still have some hearing loss mostly in my right ear where my tinnitus is worse and fluctuates the most, from pounding to hardly audible! If their idea of tinnitus with...

Hi Valeri, I'm still doing okay. It's good to still see some familiar people here and hope you're doing well also. Very excited about this treatment. I hope it's the help we all need.

Amen to that Brutha!

I don't mean to disappoint, but Dr. Shore's device isn't directed at only somatic tinnitus at all, Its mainly directed at subjective and sensory tinnitus, I can understand the confusion in how its stated though, this is a quote from the study notes... Most subjective and sensory tinnitus...

Talk about never learning huh!

@R. David Case I've been following this thread since the beginning and I've had a thought, have you bothered to ask any of these people it has helped what type of tinnitus they were experiencing, seems to me from what I've read that most if not all are left with a slight hissing after their...

This doesn't surprise me as I've read studies suggesting certain noises like a dripping tap or other higher pitched small noises irritate woman more than it does men. What would have been interesting is whether any of the study group had OCD, tinnitus in one ear or both, my wife who's also a...

Thank you, I know you may have covered that before in the thread but the longer it gets the harder it is to cross reference. I will probably try this again in the near future, I'll be sure to let everyone know how I get on. Cheers Rich

You just said in a previous comment the following: Please elaborate on what exactly is it, on one hand you say I'm not listening to it loud enough then in another comment you state that "the user does not have to hear and process Tinnitus Mix"??? Which one is it, I'd appreciate a little more...

Can you elaborate on this statement as you just finished telling me that I may not have been listening to Tinnitus Mix loud enough???

Thanks and I'm glad it helped you, I'm not entirely sure that it did cause any increase in my tinnitus because I hardly had it on any sort of volume, as I said because of my paranoia etc, it was hardly drowning out my tinnitus and my perception of my tinnitus was last measured 4 years ago at...

Yes as I alluded to earlier in this thread. I used the recommended headphones and I'm sure you said in previous comments that as long as you can hear the mix it would still be okay because it still is audible to the brain? So you recommend using it for longer? Have you any further...

Hi all, I've just finished three weeks of @R. David Case suggested therapy and have mixed results, the hissing has seemed to have gotten a bit louder, well it seems to be more intrusive and my hearing seems to have got a little more sensitive, I stopped this therapy on Wednesday night which was...

Oh dear! And this is why you will be ignored, I covered this in one of my previous comments! Heard of reactive Tinnitus? Tinnitus that is noise reactive especially to certain frequencies regardless of db level is a special case and again you completely ignored my comment on the differences...

Totally agree, very annoying!

This is starting to get old and tiresome now, nowhere did I advocate to anyone to "not protect their ears", I clearly stated and used the exact phrase, "Over protecting", you talk about a straw-man argument?....Pot, Kettle....Black, as I said you seemingly lack any clear ability to comprehend...

I know I said I wouldn't be replying, but your seemingly inability to have a broad spectrum on this subject is quite baffling. This is how it is. Everybody is different, every individuals reaction to anything is unique to them, I had a mate with me the day I got this horrible disease, he was...

Answered in full on the post before and again below! That will be my final post here, have a good one! Rich

Would definitely listen to @Ed209 's advice, I learn't the hard way!

Yep, he's dead right, if you know anything about anxiety and the power of thought, you wouldn't be arguing this. Why do you think all research trials are required to have blind placebos?

I mentioned this in my comment, it was a security thing, kids screaming, doors slamming etc, thought that was pretty obvious! Nope, A more likely scenario is my state of mind changed which probably changed my brain perception of my tinnitus. No, not at all, because if I hadn't sensitized my...

You are dead right, I lost the urge to argue with people on here years ago, so I'll take my leave and say you are exactly right as I am testimony to what you have just described! Rich

Terrible day today, woke up with my right ear back to its horrible raging best, hopefully this is just a minor hiccup.

No, after stupidly having micro suction when I had spent the last 25 odd years relying on ear plugs for everything. Obviously I should have given a background of the last 29 years of T. Before you jump to more assumptions I will say protecting ones hearing from loud noise is a must especially...

Totally correct, I am a classic example of 25 plus years of foam earplug dependence, been through bouts of depression and suffer with anxiety, a living hell at the moment and for the past three and a half years since stupidly having micro suction with sensitive hearing because of ear plug over use.

Re Volume: I have self inflicted hyperacusis, @R. David Case's sound mix I have on shuffle on my iPhone 5, the volume slider on the headphones I have set at 3 quarter volume and my iPhone on 3 bars so it's audible along side and maybe just a little higher in volume as my tinnitus, there's no way...

Wow, I didn't realize how sensitive I've made my hearing, I've got the slider taped at just over a quarter and am still only listening on 4 bars on my iPhone, looks like I have some work to do on desensitizing my hearing as well. Cheers Rich

One thing that concerns me is my tinnitus in my right ear is of a very low frequency and I've noticed that none of the frequencies on your file seem to go as low as my tinnitus, then again I'm asleep through most of them so maybe they do, did you cover all the frequencies in the file or just the...

I tried working out how to loop just the one copy and I couldn't work it out, that's why I just put multiple copies (8 copies) of the file onto a playlist and just pushed shuffle, it's working so I'll just stick to what works I suppose. lol

Probably a little too early to tell, but like I said to @gorzakus, my tinnitus is doing some weird shit like getting louder in my left ear when it was my right one that was always louder except for one or two days a fortnight, but what I have noticed is the vibrating intense roar I had in my...

Thanks, I hope so too, well today wasn't low like yesterday as my tinnitus was a little louder but different, it seems to be doing silly shit for want of a better description, almost like it's packing a sad with me! lol @gorzakus, what have you set the slider volume on your headphones to...

Right, I've been silently watching this thread for the last month or so and came to the conclusion that Dave seems legit and the real deal helped by the fact you are not looking for any remuneration, so two weeks ago, I decided I had nothing to lose and invested in said headphones and started...

Depends what your interpret as that "something", Being in a dead quiet situation and having silence get so loud for some, can possibly have the same affect on the auditory system as having a very mild Tinnitus, but from personal experience, the only way that I can see a percentage of people...

While I'm sure you are quite correct about the pub med docs, the fact some report hearing noises after time spent in sound proof booths, and not 100% of participants seems more than likely that the majority were probably hearing what I used to call the 'sound of silence' which to me, was a...

Hi Everyone, it's been a while but when I saw this lead post on my FB feed and read your post @Beste it started pulling on the old heart strings and had to reply and 2nd what @Steve and others have posted. The first few years from my T onset, I swear it was getting worse everyday and...

Cheers Bro, I guess that's one useful thing that has come from years of ear plug reliance and a paranoia about noise that's even slightly above normal levels, my audiologist made this comment about my hearing, "Your hearing is damn near perfect in the speech range, A little down in your right...

I have Email alerts turned on so if you do ever venture to these shores or me to yours just give me a PM. I will definitely be shouting you a round or 8 bro!:) Definitely yes, I hate to put it like this but they have been my savior, I now know how much of a silent killer depression can be...

Just a shout out to all the cool people I've met on this forum and a thank you for the support I received when I first got an increase in my T. Especially to @Markku, @Steve, @attheedgeofscience, @Zimichael, @cullenbohannon, @Rhea, @Telis and @just1morething, oh and to @Dr. Nagler for much...

Not sure I'd be calling it an anniversary, sounds too much like a celebration! All the best. :)

Yep, You said it, and if people would stop posting rubbish that could be posted in a PM or just kept in someones head then the thread would be interesting all the time! Huh????, Mate I really have no idea where your going with this, but if I've got the last say, I will say this, 'Stop reading...

Your post, pointing out the obvious, is just another example of posts that really don't need to be posted! (with all due respect @tshapiro ) You obviously haven't read the whole thread and some of the bull#$#t posts it contains, (sorry no other word to describe it!), If you understood my post...

Agree, lost interest in this thread a while back, might be a good idea for @Markku to close it and start a new thread for informative post's only and no opinions without substance or facts! On a brighter note, AUT00063 is looking very promising and now it's just the wait for it to be available...

Hi @Mark Beehre , Please, if you will, enlighten me of all the good things that God of the bible has done! Yet God did nothing to put a stop to all the killing,(stoning etc) that was being committed in his name? I know that if some asshole was killing and committing atrocities in my name...

Maybe, but one would think that it would at least have to show some sort of promise first before they could drum up any sort of funding from publicizing it!

There very well could be, in fact I would definitely say there is, but it won't be reported on until their is at least a little promise shown by whatever potential drug or whatever's being worked on.

I was out with a few mates a couple of years ago, one happened to be a bouncer at a local club, we were at a take away bar and about half a dozen pretty intoxicated dudes came in and one of them come up to me and decided it would be a good idea to give it to me for wearing ear plugs. I politely...

Smokers are dumb huh? Just look at all these dumb people!:rolleyes: http://www.jusonline.nl/smokers/gallery02.html https://www.psychologytoday.com/blog/the-scientific-fundamentalist/201010/why-intelligent-people-smoke-more-cigarettes

Definitely, and I can't believe all the likes that @nok3 has received because it is quite an insult!

Thanks. With all due respect it's probably a good thing you not coming back, simply because saying shit like this will not warm you to many sufferers! Really?, Something tells me that you have always had T and don't know what silence is, this is rather insulting!:mad:

@jimH and @Kathi , Just love your taste in music, We could probably list nearly half of Zeppelin's catalogue on here!;)

Yes @Kathi , Led Zeppelin are one of my favs too, I, like Robert Plant, believe Kashmir should have been more of a classic than Stairway to heaven, still love that song but unfortunately it gets thrashed too much. Love this...

Quite simply, it is a crock of shit and can be dangerous for nothing more than witch doctor therapy! ;)

No they don't, and I know numerous people that don't hear anything when it's completely silent, including me before I had T. Tinnitus is not a natural state of silence, Don't let anyone BS you into thinking that. It is a BS thing that audiologist's tell sufferers to make them feel better...

Re: My post earlier, sweet FA evidence of hearing loss through the bone, in other words it sounds like paranoia from T sufferers, If this was the case I would have had hearing loss in this way, but my hearing has had no change after 20 + years of wearing earplugs full time! Excellent, yes my...

Considering bone conduction is known but with scant evidence of it posing a problem with jarring of the body as in physical activity with ear plugs inserted, as well as sound from bone conduction only reaching the equivalent of 40 odd decibels, it would be a stretch for your T to be caused by...

Reading all these post's I am so glad I live here in NZ, I really have no need of a gun even if it was legal here, I'm just glad it's not! With my ears I would be incapable of pulling the trigger anyway. lol Thank God for unarmed self defense!;)

Of course animal is right up there!:ROFL: Just had a look at him and he is good, but not quite enough symbols to beat Neil Peart. ;)

How about some classic 80's pop! 1993 but still a very good 80's style song. These guy's are still touring now, that's talent! EMI seems to have blocked the official video in my country.
