    Tinnitus Noise Experiments Project

    Just wanted to mention two things: 1) I'm updating my website toward some other purposes, so the tool won't be available from there from now on. (I made sure it didn't have any active users, using Google Analytics, before deciding so) 2) I'm still willing to help integrate the tool into the new...

    Can You Create Your Own Tinnitus?

    Effectively, yes, you can--unfortunately. That's how I got it. Not from hearing about tinnitus and imagining it, but from doing a lucid dream technique where you focus on the different senses (hearing included) for minutes at a time. Two things I think I should note. First, in my case I had...

    Tinnitus Noise Experiments Project

    I've put together a new version of the ACRN web-app (the original created by generalfuzz) that gives you more control over the sequence played: http://venryx.herokuapp.com/others/tools/acrn List of new configuration options: The tempo. The number of tones in the sequence. Each tone's equation...

    Hello Everybody, Introduction & Personal Project

    About half the ideas I think could be really helpful (for example, that of being able to look up a treatment and see how it worked for everyone in the database). It sounds similar to the proposal shown here (though yours obviously has a wider scope, they do still share some important...

    Data Gathering Project

    Yeah, I think something like this would be worth doing. I might want to help... depending mostly on how many people would end up using it if we did complete it. (I'm not a mobile/app developer, by the way, although I'm sure I could learn. Though actually, I'd probably opt for HTML5; for...

    18 Year Old; Starting War with Tinnitus

    Hello all. I'm eighteen, and working hard on some projects I intend to make a living from someday. Two years ago I got tinnitus when I followed a lucid dream technique where you cycle through the different senses and focus on them for minutes at a time. Yeah, bad idea. Won't describe that...

    Tinnitus Noise Experiments Project

    Hi all. I suspect that there is some form of audio pattern or technique by which tinnitus could at least be mostly silenced. It doesn't seem like one's been found yet. There are a few reasons I think that. One is that, certain sounds/experiences (such as taking a long shower) can completely...

    Bizarre Tinnitus Experience

    I've also had some times where the tinnitus was pleasant. In fact... if I put enough effort into it, I can do so at will the majority of the time--that is, when I can devote all of my attention toward it, like when falling asleep at night. I've found that the main things causing distress for me...

    The Benefits of Staying Away from Tinnitus Related Websites?

    Just thought I'd mention that for me, I didn't go on any forums or the like for the first year or so with tinnitus, and the tinnitus severity/ignorability was not any better than it is now. In fact, if anything I think it's gotten better since finding and actively reading on these websites. It...

    Is It Possible My Tinnitus Will Get So Loud That I Will Never Sleep?

    Well, I think physically you would have to fall asleep after a certain number of days (your brain just 'shuts down' basically at some duration of sleep deprivation, from what I understand). But if you just mean, bad enough you have extreme trouble sleeping (like for whole nights), than I have...

    Shower Can Give Me Prolonged Suppression

    Yeah, I've noticed this same effect. Sometimes I get out of a shower, and while I can still hear a sound, it's much quieter and is actually sort of soothing. (it's probably in part from that I know it's finally mostly quiet, as I'm resting) It's pretty similar to the sound of 'listening to' an...
