Anything “-mycin” can cause/aggravate tinnitus.

How are you going? Happy New Year and hope you will have a good year ahead. December/January for me has been good. Most days I don’t notice the tinnitus or I actually don’t hear it for moments (a few minutes, a couple hours) even when I plug my ears, sometimes it’s so faint. But there were...

My dad said to me that he had tinnitus in his forties (he is now in his 60s with no tinnitus). He said it took many months until it started to disappear. It appeared out of nowhere and he had trouble sleeping. He said to me to ignore it and just carry on focusing on what I need to do. He also...

Good one for your friend. What do you mean when you say recovered? Habituated, or tinnitus gone?

Hi @Vassili, may I ask if what you mean is that you can sleep without any external sounds e.g., without a sound machine or fan noise? Or do you mean that your tinnitus is silent when you go to sleep? Thanks and wish you well.

Looks like you need to take Turmeric with fats and black pepper. Some Curcumin/Turmeric supplements already contain Piperine from black pepper but maybe the fats is the missing piece. Perhaps having the Turmeric in cooking is also better than supplements. From BBC “Trust Me I’m A Doctor”: Why...

Thanks Michael. Is the purpose of the white noise to help reduce the perceived volume of the tinnitus? Can I use brown noise instead?

Hi Michael. I work from home and I wanted to ask about sound enrichment. Is it possible to have music in the background in addition to a white noise generator? Will this work as sound enrichment or should I just have the music? Thanks.

What’s better than silence is to not hear tinnitus when I’m in an environment where there is not much going on, e.g., in a rain forest or at home. Would this be what you are thinking of?

Stress can make you perceive tinnitus more than you normally do. As such, it can appear louder or more persistent. Just know that it is not a disease and redirect your focus onto something else - go for a walk, take a shower, do the dishes. That should reduce the tinnitus as you perceive it less.

I take a tea which has some Valerian for sleep. Most of the time, the next day is a quieter day.

Thanks for your update. How would you describe your improvements over the past 4 years, e.g., are you experiencing more quiet days or quiet evenings?

I’m curious if 30 minutes listening to this, at a volume slightly lower than your tinnitus, might help you?

Whereabouts do you apply the heatpad?

Hi Peter, can you share how you did the elimination diet? I’m not sure how to start and how it works.

How are you going now Joseph?
