    How Can I Stop Listening to My Tinnitus?

    @sanj100 It’s very difficult to stop thinking about your tinnitus especially if it’s very loud which mine is unfortunately. The only thing that helps me is to keep busy doing things which will occupy my mind that way I don’t focus on my tinnitus so much. Also I find my hearing aids very helpful...

    Raging Tinnitus Back! Spike? GERD Causing It? Nexium? What the Hell Just Happened?

    @ChrisfromCanada It's common for tinnitus to be loud after sleep it's all due to your brain shutting down when you are asleep. Try not to panic. Hard not to I know. But it's quite common for this to happen.

    How Do You Clean Your Ears?

    You can't clean wax from your ears properly it needs to be done professionally. Prodding your ears with things like cotton wool buds only pushes the wax further down your ear canal. Also using other methods can give you an ear infection. And we all know what ear infections can cause!!
