Not worth it for me as I already had to flu at the end of September. First one in my office, now everyone has gotten it, but I don't think it was due to me, as I spent most of the time at home.

Fish how are you feeling today? Has your ear improved at all? I know when I was sick I boiled up some water and got a towel and basically hung my head in there for awhile breathing in the warm vapour and it seemed to help me. I'm sure it could take a couple of days for this to clear up. Also...

1) How long have you had tinnitus? End of Sept of this year 2) Has it always fluctuated? Yes, it seems to change all the time. Sometime I hear it louder in my right ear than my left 3) Do you think your fluctuations are somatic in nature (neck, shoulders, back, TMJ issues)? I think my right...

Again, I think your right. I know when this whole thing initially started for me 2 days before the onset of a pretty bad cold I didn't pay it any attention and still had a normal life and ignored the sound when it was present, but my thinking at the time was that it will go away. A week after...

Thank you Karl for the very detailed explanation. That does make sense when you say that it's basically a feedback. Just makes me wonder how some people don't have that feedback and just basically go def. I would much rather prefer that over the T any day. Maybe there nerve isn't sending the...

My Doctor asked me to bring in my hearing results so he could go over it with me. I was only tested up to 6kHz, would that be normal? I was reading that people with tinnitus tend to loose hearing in the upper higher frequencies 8kHz and up? The way the profile came out, he thinks that I've got a...

Hi mock turtle, I know my father has T and when he drives anywhere he says that his T goes through the roof for a day or two. He believes its the pitch of the engine that does this. Maybe a set of foam ear plugs may help. Yes and fast food mostly contains MSG which is another neural stimulator...

Hi Mike, I looked up Percocet and according to what I found that it is an ototoxic painkiller. Double dosing such as you did could have made an already bad situation worse. I would suggest changing your diet to try to detox yourself. I've also read that vitamins B12 and a B50 complex are good at...

Thank you carlover, thats the kind of feedback I was looking for on that product. Hi Karl, when you stated was that a good change in your favour?

I'm glad that it helped you Gary.

Thats a hard one to answer. First I would choose to have the silence back for good, but its hard to find those genie bottles ;). But If I did win the money I would hire 4 of the brightest doctors in the T field and personally fund there research to finding a cure.

Thanks for your feedback Molan. I know the price is way better than going for something like Neromonics (think thats how its spelled) as that can range to about $5000 for a unit. I was thinking of buying one of her books to get a better understanding. If I do go down that path I will definitely...

Hi Everyone, I was just wondering if anyone has tried sound therapy from http://www.soundtherapyperth.com/ or they are also located at http://www.soundtherapyinternational.com They talk about inducing sounds into the ear that give it a work-out and plus retrains the brain on how it hears sounds...

I came home from hanging out with some friends at a local coffee shop and everything was fine. I did notice that the noise was roughly 75db at the coffee shop, which is still acceptable. Once I got home my right ear T started to pulse to my heart beat and it got really loud. Lasted about 30min...

Well I got my ears checked today to see if my T was due to hearing loss. My left ear, which my T is the worst has a normal hearing profile and my right ear with a lower volume T has a 1KHz hearing loss. The weird thing was the lady who was doing the test has T going on 4 months and her father...

Hi everyone. I found this web site http://blog.szynalski.com/2010/12/24/tinnitus-tips/ and thought it had a good positive spin on T and just wanted to share in the hopes that this may help someone else.

Thanks DD. I had a good meeting with my Dad, but our mental attitudes are different. He has always been easy going, where I find myself more stressed and easy to be bothered by things. His suggestion was just to ignore it like he does, but I'm sure I will get to that point, but it being almost 2...

I'm interested in hearing more about this, as I just bought a noise generator yesterday. Could it be that it stops one from habiting to there inner sounds? I was at the Doctors last thursday and he prescribed me antibiotics for a possible infection in my eustachian tubes. I asked him if this...

Hi AT, I hope you are doing better. I had a rough night on Friday and was scared that my T was getting worse. Plus I have been getting migraines due to this. Now it seems to have softened again. I bought a noise generator yesterday, so I'm hoping it helps with my sleep at night. Keep us posted...

Sadly I have to agree with Fish that the only cure will be from some research that was non-tinnitus related. I can see most efforts going into creating a pill to suppress the noise, as that for any company would be the cheapest and most profitable in the long run. Look how much money is thrown...

AT After reading your post I'm wondering if my condition may be neck related as well. I do remember the night I got my T that my neck was killing me which was directly related to some of the swimming I was doing earlier that day. When I see my ENT I will bring this up.

Hi everyone. I was reading your posts and now I can see I am not alone in this. On Sept 24th of this year I went to bed and noticed that both my ears were roaring. A few hours earlier I had just come home from swimming. My place is mostly loud due to an old fridge so I didn't notice anything, or...
