Not sure why, but I am noticing more the airplanes taking off at 4am from an airport about 10 miles away. They have been waking me up for the past week. Before that, I barely heard them. I would hear them occasionally during the day but not at 4am. Anyone here have this kind of experience? Do...

I'm the same way. After taking a shower, most of the time, my T is very quiet for about an hour. I am guessing that the high pitched sounds of the water echoing in the shower might be helping to fill in the high pitch sounds I can hear less of??

It is on Netflix. There will be a part where you might understand why I am suggesting you watch this. It was amazing. I can't say more because I don't want to give it away, but believe me, it is relevant to those on this forum. Be patient, it will take a while.

I find that sleep is key. You might ask yourself, how can I sleep if I have this ringing in my ears. Well, get some medication to help. Turn on some music or a talk show (I find talk shows easier to sleep to since it distracts my mind better than predictable sound waves. And, it's like you are...

...my wife yelling at me! :)

Good article from the Wall Street Journal..."Medicine might prevent noise-induced hearing damage, a persistent problem for soldiers repeatedly firing loud weapons" http://on.wsj.com/1NrBNwL

Looking back now, I am thinking that Lyrica actually might be the cause of my hearing loss which has brought about my T. I'm 48 and I have been told that is too young usually for natural hearing loss. The only thing that I could think of that might have attributed to it is taking this drug. I...

I've been thinking back before the time I was diagnosed with mild hearing loss. They say it could be age related, but I am "only" 48. I remember taking 75 mg a day of Lyrica. I've read the official side effects, but I cannot find hearing loss as one of them. However, it seems like there is a...

In my experience, the max I took was 75mg a day and it just "numbs" you and worse it make me very confused.

Thanks. I see there is an Upsell as well, meaning they have other products to sell you along the way after you buy their first product. It did sound quite dubious when they start off saying something like this video might be taken down by the big pharma companies and you have to listen all the...

Seems a bit dubious...anyone try this?

Stress related...meaning the T is stress related or the clogged feeling?

Well, just because it was set up that way, it doesn't mean they HAVE to keep the money. What will they use it for? Not very clear and it does make it seem like they are a scam.

I've been told I have mild hearing loss in both ears, with the left one a bit worse. In addition to tinnitus, I feel like my left ear is a bit "clogged". Is this a symptom of hearing loss or something else? Just curious what other have experienced. Also, if it is not related to hearing loss...

I am hopeful! Just a small joke....I can see it now..."Hi, I'm Tony, and not only am I a customer of the inner hair club for men, I am also the president!" We then see photos of before the inner ear started to bald and then after the hair plugs! Tony

I "invested" and am a disappointed no refund.

Hi all, I am reading about this hospital and treatment in Bangkok in this thread. I live in Asia and would be interested to know more and where it is. I've read previous posts but I can't seem to find info on the venue. Perhaps because it is not public? Anyway, could someone fill me in...

Yes, I definitely feel that hypnosis helps with the anxiety. So does accupuncture. All of that HAS relate to the nervous system which is why I think it has some kind of effect on the tinnitus. Now, if I could just learn how those gurus can change their involuntary nervious system parts, then I...

I've worked with this guy and he has some good information on his site, not necessarily about tinnitus but about hypnosis and awareness. You might want to give it a gander.... http://www.seishindo.org/

I have some experience with hypnosis, and when I was in that in-between state between waking up and fully awake this morning, I was able to calm the tinnitus down by focusing my energy on where the sound was coming from and imagining it getting smaller and saying "Thank you, but you are not...

If one of the causes on tinnitus is because of hearing loss, why wouldn't using hearing aids get rid of the tinnitus? It would seems that the auditory system would "think" it got the signal back and would stop sending the false signals?

Dr. Nagler, Whether it is due to kidneys/liver aside, cloudn't the stimulation of the nervious system from the needles to the nervous system help if used at correctly? I actullay went to an accupuncturist and she put the needles around the ear, face, wrists, and ankles. I did find I got some...

This article is showing promise that the hair cells in the inner ear of mice can be regenerated with a new drug. A bit old but I guess there is hope...and I would also hope this would eventually lead to a reduction in tinnitus if it was brought on my hearing loss...

Has anyone heard that problems with your kidneys can cause hearing loss and/or tinnitus? A friend of mine sent me some information from a Chinese medicine book stating this. I haven't heard any scientific evidence that this is the case.

Well, I hope so but a bit surprised as the suggestions. And, no hearing test requested until I suggested it. I get a pretty good amount of sleep, so I am hesitant to do a sleep study. I could lose some weight and will give that a try for now. I am pretty sure I don't have sleep apnea.

Apologies for my late reply. Somehow, my message got moved here and I didn't get any alerts that I had replies. To answer the question about how I know if the guy is trained/certified: He's on Jastreboff's website and was recommended by another TRT doctor who says he doesn't have the time to do...

Jay, Yes, constant for a while but manageable. Tony

I went to an ENT doctor today who is supposedly trained in TRT. He said that the cause of my mild hearing loss was because my blood vessels where probably constricted. And the cause of my blood vessels being constricted where because a) I'm male, b) I'm overweight, and c) hereditary. By the way...

I can only say that my T has been constant now. Somewhat quiet in the morning but louder during the rest of the day and especially while I am sleeping (although I am used to it enough that I can sleep). I started acupuncture. Interesting that my T gets very quite right when I lay down on the...

This seems too much of a hard "sales" to make it seem true, and I don't like how it says "I can only keep the video up for a short time". http://www.tinnitusmiracle.com/Tinnitus-Mobile-Video.php Anyone try this or is it a scam? Thanks, Tony

Well, I'm a bit disappointed to report that my T has come back stronger. Not as loud as it was in the very beginning but the low level I experienced a week or so ago, to the point that I didn't really hear it, has been rare for the past week. Seems to be rather constant except I do seem to get a...

Not yet. My T seems to be going down so I may not need it. I thought other may be interested though.

@derpytia, There is hope. Here is what a person from the London Tinnitus Treatment Clinic wrote to me on a Gooogle+ forum: "The good news is that about three quarters of people's tinnitus just spontaneously resolves within a few months, and reduces to nothing or to such a low level that it...

A short update on my tinnitus…. For the past week or so, the sound has been relatively low. In fact, just now, all I seem to hear is a few "dry rice" sounds. I still hear it, but only if I really think about it. There was one day where it was louder but no where near the level in the beginning...

Apparently, only you can hear the music and not someone in the same room. Good if you are using music and/or white noise to mask your tinnitus. http://recode.net/2014/06/11/to-sleep-perchance-to-dream-using-technology/ https://www.amazon.com/Dreampad-Advanced-Pillow-Medium-Support/dp/B01N6J7ND5/

Out of curiosity... I found since I was in high school that I pretty much had a hard time "deciphering" what others say with a not-so-loud level of background noise. For example, I can remember being in the lunchroom in high school and had a hard time making out what a person was saying...

I like this: "Your brain will get bored with it and that's the end. " My brain: "Okay, this is getting boring. Next!" Great stuff. We should start a new therapy: TBT - Tinnitus Boring Therapy!

I hope I am getting close. I had a few days earlier this week when I barely could hear any of the tinnitus--and a few moments when I heard nothing. Today, there is a high pitched tone but faint. In other words, the intensity seems to be decreasing over time.

Just my 2 cents worth going back to the original question about the efficacy of hypnosis. I am working with a good friend of mine on this who has a lot of experience with bodywork, hypnosis, NLP, etc. I will say this for now...when I was first hearing the sounds and really loosing it and feeling...

I woke up at 3:30am this morning and thought something was strange. No T noise. In fact, Is started to worry...is something wrong. I even tried to imagine what it sounded like to see if I wasn't missing it somehow. (Weird how the mind works.) I had this "break" for about 3 hours and didn't want...

Thanks everyone. When I went to the ENT 3 weeks ago, he sent me to an audiologist who checked my hearing. It was "lower" at one frequency. However, that was the frequency of the tone that my tinnitus was making which was louder than the sound test up to a certain decibel. I would say then that I...

Definitely a complex issue. The more I am interacting on these forums the more I start to understand that tinnitus can be caused by a variety of factors and thus there are a variety of solutions.

It is possible with TRT that the tinnitus goes away or it is always still there but people just habituate to it? I was wondering if you do eventually habituate to it, maybe the brain stops sending the false signals? Is that a possible outcome?

My tinnitus came right around before I had a rather nasty cold. My ENT say _maybe_ that could be the cause of it and it may be temporary. Since then, my tinnitus has gone from a low, metallic grinding sound to a higher pitched hiss/buzz and at times it sounds like dry rice falling on a pane of...

Do they know there is this forum? If they want to reach out to consumers, I think there would be no better place than this!

Just my layman's logic here... if a lot of tinnitus is the result of hearing loss, wouldn't deaf people be more prone to tinnitus?

Can deaf people experience tinnitus, and if so, how is that dealt with?

Maybe tinnitus can be viewed as a special signal from the universe and only we selected few can "hear" this signal! :)

I was taking Lyrica for "burning mouth syndrome". For some reason, after I had some dental work done, about a month later, my mouth would ache quite a lot whenever I ate anything other than at room temperature. The slightest cold or hot sensation would make me feel like my mouth was going to...

Thanks, that link pretty much answered my questions. Do these discussion boards allow us to "promote" it to some kind of FAQ? So, there is no certification of TRT clinicians. That's a bit worrying since I can ask doctors the questions he suggested, but will never really know if I got the...

I've been reading the book on TRT (not cheap at $60) and enjoying learning more about the theory about how tinnitus is created. I have a few questions: 1) I haven't read much yet about Neuromonics, but it seems to be based on the same concept as TRT...that the brain needs to be retrained...

I believe Beyond Tinnitus is a scam or has closed shop. There has been no response to my emails (and that is included in the basic package). I've also tried calling their Headquarters number and get a recording that the number is no longer a "working number". I tried their Enginneering number...
