Hi vegasjon, I don't have an answer for your post, but I was going to post something similar a little while back about the success rate with a low sodium diet. I too have eaten too much salty foods as I admit I love salt. I also have a lot of problems with fullness and pressure in my ears also...

Hi Jeff, myself like a lot of people have had no success with lipo flavonoids. Could it be helping you? Possibly. Everybody's systems are just a little different. One thing may work for one person, but not another. Personally I've gotten skeptical of the effectiveness of most supplements. Thanks...

Hi Falconfox, I don't know if I have 2 nights in a row that are the same so I wouldn't over think and worry about what you experienced. Sometimes I wake up in the middle of the night with quieter T, and other nights I wake up with weird spikes and different tones. The T is very unpredictable...

Hi Carlos, thanks for your kind words, and especially your prayers. I'll pray for you too and everyone on this forum.... Your friend.... Rich

I have to be honest and say I envy other people sometimes when I'm driving down the road and seeing them pulling their campers and fishing boats and going out and doing other things. With the T I currently have I also have some pretty bad ear pressure and dizziness to boot. I feel...

Dear Irene, I'm glad to hear your getting your anxiety under control. Anxiety, especially if it's severe can cause all sorts of negative manifestations in one's body. Another problem is that the T causes anxiety in return. It's a vicious circle/cycle. It does get a person depressed. Please try...

Hi Street Spirit, I was put on 2 MG a day recently, the same dosage you are on now. I'm not trying to be nosey at all. My doctor said to take 1 MG 2 times daily and if I wanted to split the 2 MG in 3 doses that would be up to me. Did your doc tell you anything like that or did he/she tell you...

Hi Telis, I know your post here is from a little while ago but I want to elaborate on it. I'm 50 years old and I've had alcohol in my life since I was a teenager. I still drink a little bit. The problem with alcohol is that you build up a tolerance for it like other drugs and medications. I know...

Thanks for your responses. I appreciate it. God Bless..... Rich

Hi folk's, I have a question for any of you. I have ear pressure along with the T and I'm wondering if any of you that are currently taking clonezapam (klonopin) that have ear pressure have had it possibly worsen do to taking it? The website drugs.com has ear congestion listed as a possible side...

Dear Eleanor, I'm sorry to hear about the tinnitus that has come upon you, adding to your other health ailments. The anxiety you are experiencing is beyond a doubt making things worse. I have a lot of problems with anxiety everyday now along with the rotten tinnitus. (I'm 50 years old) It...

Hi folk's, thank you to all who responded to my thread. Will do some jogging/walking daily. God Bless.... Rich

Hi folks, sometimes I think we research the internet too much these days, but I have a question for any of you. I read that running/jogging is probably not good for tinnitus on a certain web page. I've never been a jogger/runner (was always into weightlifting) but have recently started doing a...

Hi again Nic, being a stupid 50 year old man who never protected his ears for most of his life, I believe I have slowly developed hearing loss from even in my 20's from loud noise exposure. My T started all started out in late 2013 with some weird pressure in my head that over months then...

Hi Telis, you're right, this T has a way of zapping a persons energy both physically and mentally. Hang in there my friend. God Bless...... Rich

Hi Nic, about 2 weeks ago I saw a decent audiologist in my area and I took a hearing test and she checked my ears for different things like for fluid and ear pressure, etc. with something that looked liked it costed about 20 grand. No fluid and the ear pressure was in the normal range, but my...

Hi Sara, first of all I want to say, that what happened to that woman in the Netherlands isn't going to happen to you. I know this stuff is tough to deal with, but you're stronger than you think. The T I have changes a lot also in tone and volume. It is very frustrating because a person can't...

Hi JR, I'm sorry to hear about your T and what happened to bring it on. I've had mine for a good year now with the fullness in the ears/dizziness to boot. It turns into a vicious cycle/circle with anxiety and Tinnitus. I'm not a big advocate of benzos, (even though I'm currently taking...

Hi emerald, I just saw your post as I was signing off. I'm sorry about your T. I don't want to sound discouraging in any way but a lot of the time it's hard to find the cause of the T because a lot of things can cause it. If you've had it since February, it's been a little while, but it could...

Like most of the other folk's said in their posts, sitting around home does make you focus on the T more. I have an eBay store and business has been slow for the past couple of months due to summer. Thus I'm at home more often and less busy. I can tell that I've been more stressed out about the...

Hi Kitty, a thought here, if it went away for 4 months, I would take that as a good sign that it could go away again, and hopefully next time for good! God Bless....... Rich

Hi Wendy, you're welcome. I'm not sure what brought mine on, but I remember it started with head and facial pressure that eventually spread to pressure in my ears and then the ringing started. For me it's been almost a year and a half now from when the head/ face pressure started. Mine hasn't...

Hi Wendy, like sailboardman said in his post that it's only been 5 weeks and the T may settle down and go away for you. It's not uncommon for a person with T to hear multiple sounds, pitches, and volumes. For a while I had just one noise and then I started getting different sounds at...

.. Hi Kevin, you're not alone with the depression and anxiety. I'm 50 years old now and have suffered a lot with both in my adult life. It always seems to be at it's worst in the mornings. From a nutritional perspective it sounds like you are doing good things along with the exercise 4 times a...

Hi Asian, just a couple of weeks ago my younger brother brought over a bottle of pure peppermint oil. He put a dab on the back of my neck while I was cooking. It was very strong, but in a good way. I could still hear the T of course but kept on smelling the peppermint for hours after. I don't...

Hi Nucleo and Alex, thanks for responding to my post. When weird stuff starts to happen to a person, they begin to feel isolated and anxiety sets in. I've vaguely heard of "exploding head syndrome" but will research it some. Thanks for posting the link Nucleo.

Hi folks. I have something to share here. For about the past couple of weeks when I'm starting to fall asleep I, all of a sudden, get sharp volume spikes from the tinnitus in my ears and head. It startles the daylights out of me. It seems to be happening every night now before I can get to...

Hi harleyquinn, thanks for sharing your story and what you're experiencing. It's good for us T sufferers to share our stories with one another in this forum so we don't feel so isolated and anxious. Stay connected with the forum for further support from others who know what you're experiencing...

Hi geg, MariaH just posted above me and mainly said it all. The sadness of your break up will pass and you'll make it. Just hang in there my friend. God Bless....... Rich

Hi I Who Love Music, you'll get some weird responses from some people. There are some folks out there that don't even have a clue what tinnitus is. I've mentioned the word tinnitus to a few people and they shook their head and then I said ringing in my ears and then they acknowledged what I...

Hi Konrad, I think you should stay working there and try to stay as busy as possible. Keep a pair of plugs on hand and use them if the noise gets too loud for you. Just my thoughts...... God Bless...... Rich

Hi Rina, I believe I read a couple of your posts from before when things weren't going as well. I'm glad to hear you are getting some better days! God Bless....... Rich

Hi Craggy, the spike you mentioned isn't uncommon with a lot of folk's here including myself. They do sometimes tend to make a person more anxious. Take comfort my friend, you're not alone with these things you described. Just hang in there and try to stay busy. Things hopefully will improve for...

Hi Karl28, I saw an ENT who did that last year. He sprayed some type of numbing agent up inside my nose and then proceeded with the endoscopy. I personally didn't feel much of any discomfort and watched it on a TV- like monitor and could see what my nose/sinuses looked like inside....... Rich

Dear LiveIGuess, this is an issue that needs to be dealt with. I know you said you don't want your family to know, but as a Dad, I would want to know my child was struggling with something like this and try to get him/her the help they need. Please reconsider talking to your parents about this...

Hi Danielle85, I'm glad you've found some relief for your anxiety even though you still have pulsing in your ears. I've heard a few people in this forum talk about acupuncture. Maybe it didn't fix their T, but it helped them relax some. Something that sounds like it might be worth a try for...

Hi Craggy65, Glad you found this forum. Even though none of us would want anybody else to have this condition, it gives some comfort and let's you know that others have it also and you're not alone with your Tinnitus. Mornings are worse with me too with the anxiety issue and probably with most...

Hi Grace, I don't have the tmj, etc, but I know it's not terribly uncommon for the T to spread to the other ear too. Mine started out in my left ear and has spread to the right one also. Still worse in the original left side though. I hope this straightens out for you. Try to stay as busy as you...

Hi again Kaelon, thanks for the info and getting back to me so quickly! God Bless..... Rich

Hi Kaelon, I've seen you mention prednisone here and there in a few posts. Did you have any adverse side effects from taking it? I have a 6 day prescription of prednisone that I haven't tried yet. I opted to try something natural first. (cat's claw) One week in and nothing so far. I know I...

Hi Ashleigh, just hang in there and come and check this forum often. I don't always post, but I read different posts from other folks most of the time. There's lots of people here who can empathize with you and can give good advice. God Bless....... Rich

Hi Joe, this is my last post to this thread, but don't get discouraged from some people's negative responses. It seems that anything with a Christian message and is faith based gets attacked by some. It's a sign of the times. Anyways, I hope and pray for everybody that comes to this forum, that...

Hi Ashliegh, I'm glad you found this board and decided to reach out to others for support! The T has a way of trying to rob us of peace. Like you mentioned try to stay as busy as you can. I hope and pray things will improve with the T you developed. There are days that I, and I'm sure many...

Amen to that! God Bless...... Rich

Hi billie48, thanks for adding this video. It's old, but still has good stuff in it. God Bless....... Rich

My T hasn't totally disabled me, but I feel as though I'm a different person and function on a lower level than I used to...... Rich

That's great news tshapiro, God Bless....... Rich

Dear DanMan1982, Not many of us here in this forum are doctors, but I think MariaH that posted right above me gave you some good advice about the Zoloft and other stuff. Maybe hold off on it (Zoloft) just for the time being. I use that phrase tormenting also because the T stinks pretty bad most...

Dear Chelles, I know this is easier said than done, a person needs to try and stay as busy as possible no matter how crumby they feel. I too, and others on this forum suffer with anxiety and other related symptoms along with the T. I'll be praying for you and everybody that posts on this...

Hello Dr. Nagler, thanks for the name and location of this doctor. Rich

Hi Scott, I have dizziness and ear pressure and pain with my T. Every so often it might slightly decrease. It might be because I'm distracted with other things. If possible try to stay busy and not dwell on the T and dizziness. I know that's hard to do sometimes. Hang in there my...

Hi Johnny, I too am sorry to hear about the things that have happened with you. I haven't had the T no where's near as long as you have, but I do know about the emotional ups and downs with it. I feel like a different person most of the time, always serious and more cranky. I spend much more...

Hi, thank you to those who responded to my post. It's good to get as much information as possible about anything to do with taking on T. God Bless................. Rich

Hi folk's. I have a question that I hope I can get a few responses on. I have UCARE for my insurance company. I recently called a hearing wellness center in the area to set up an appointment. The lady I talked to said the only thing UCARE will cover in regard to T is one hearing test and nothing...

Afeef, I would give the 5-HTP a try and see what happens, I don't think it's horribly expensive..... Rich

I've had some t on and off for about 10 years. I just used a small t in that sentence. The bigger T started a little over a year ago. It slightly let up some in the middle to late Summer of last year then started climbing again in September. This Winter it has spiked significantly. Rich

Hi again Afeef, I'm going by memory here. I tried the 5-HTP probably 10 years ago. I got it from the local health food store in my town and probably went by the dosage on the bottle. I don't remember it doing anything positive for me. The L-tryptophan I used for a while back in the 80's...

Hi Afeef, I tried 5-HTP with no success. In the past I tried L-tryptophan also. That may have a helped a tad. I might be wrong but I don't know if you can get L-tryptophan like at a health food store anymore. Each of our bodies are unique as God made them. Something that didn't work for me may...

Stupid me also misplaced the sales receipts/boxes for the bottles I bought so until I can find them I can't send in and try to get the refund they offered........ Rich

No success here with lipo flavanoids. They guarantee their stuff will work. The only guarantee I discovered with using their product is that my wallet ended up a lot thinner......... Rich
