Daman, When I did my treatments they would supply a plastic water bottle everyday so you could take drinks as they compressed and decompressed the chamber. This helped with with popping ears. Good luck on your treatments.

I was around the 3month mark when I started. I did three weeks total and it seemed to help at first but then was back to the same after a couple weeks. I don't know if more treatments would have helped or not.

Don't worry I am only taking at bedtime. I would never make it if took it during the day.

I used my gas powered weedeater for about an hour today with earplugs. So far T is about the same. I might try the riding lawnmower next.

It has been two weeks now on Remeron and T is stay low with a couple minor increases but came back down quickly. I don't like taking medicine but if it helps T than it is worth it. So far no bad side effects, only drowsy which helps me sleep and an increase in appetite. I have even had a few Dr...

I have gained 5 pounds UGH. I have always been adicted to sweets. It is keeping the level down to a managable state. T might have been a tad lower with Amitriptyline but I only took it for 5 days before switching.

I had floaters way before I ever had T. They normally don't bother me, I guess I am use to them. I have been on Remeron for a week now and I hav not had T Flare-up yet.:joyful:

I am glad that HBOT lowered your T level. I hope you continue to improve.

I might give it a try and see what happens.

My T started in January because of woodworking for long periods without a break. I have been anxious, angry, and annoyed also because of T I know how you feel about people not understanding the disturbance it causes. They say” I know somebody with T and they say it doesn’t really bother them”...

I even used my gas power washer yesterday (with earplugs) and it didn't bother me. I am going for the weedeater next week I think. I agree that we need back to living out lives.

I usually donate blood when the Red Cross blood mobile comes to work. Will this have any effect on T?? The reason I ask is I have read that blood supply to the ears can affect T. So if you are a pint low would it make a difference?o_O

@James I had that Dr.Pepper today and it was so good. T seems about the same today. I am ready to try more things now.

Well I went to my GP and he changed my prescription to Remeron. I have taken it for three days now and T is staying at a manageable state.(y) I do believe in one side effects of Remeron and that is increased appetite. I have eaten way to much the past few days. I must cut back.

My ENT did want me to do the treatments. He said it would make it worse. Well I did it anyway and had a few days of really low T. I think I was to close to the onset is why it did last.

I am going to try adding things I did before T. Just have to take it one step at a time to see what my limit is. That is funny.:LOL:

I might do that this week.

I would assume that they would not vibrate as bad. I think most of the vibration is probably because of the gas motor on mowers.

If you like exercise you could try a reel mower. No noise or vibrations just a lot of sweat and hard work. Exercise is supposed to help your ears and you would be killing two birds with stone.

I don't drink alcohol but I am addicted to Dr. Pepper and haven’t had one for about three months now. I would love to drink one but have been waiting for tinnitus to stay down for more than a week before I try. Still trying to weed out what aggravates tinnitus and what doesn’t.

I had the same issue the first time I mowed. I mowed for about an hour on a riding lawn mower and it made my T increase for a couple of days. Since then I have hired the teenage son of a friend of mine to mow twice for me. I want to wait a couple of weeks before I try again. I believe it has to...

I want to switch to Remeron because of a side effect that I have with Amitriptyline. From what I have read the are comparable.

I had a 10 hour flight to Germany a few weeks back and had seats in front of wings and engine. I wore some noise canceling head phones which helped with the noise levels. After wearing them for long periods did make my head hurt. My T spiked around the 7-8 hour mark and I was ready for the...

I can officially say that my T has been down all day. I would say that my T was on a scale of 9-10 the last 3 days and now is about 2-3. I am confinement that Amitriptyline must have helped T and sleep also. I must add that I have tried to avoid sodium as much as I could the past couple days also.

I suffered for 3days and broke down last night and took a 10mg Amitriptyline. I slept better a my T has let up finally. I have a problem with one of the side effects of Amitriptyline so I am going to the doctor Monday to see about Remeron. I will let you know what happens.

I am new to T also and still trying to figure out how to manage it. I see you are in Oregon? I think I remember reading a post by @erik about a tinnitus clinic in Oregon. Might be worth looking into.

That is great news. I truely believe that vibrations can aggrevate T also.

I have been having the same problem for three days now with T being horrible. When my T is up driving usually aggravates it. I don’t know if it is for the road noise or possibly vibrations. Last night I broke down and took a 10mg amitriptyline that I have had from a previous problem before I...

My left ear is the worse and it is in my brain constantly. Then on occasion my left ear decides it wants to scream at me in a real high pitch like EEEEEE. Also the left ear is sensitive to sound. In the beginning my right ear wasn’t an issue but the last couple months it has decided to join in...

Last night wasn't much better. I woke up around 2am and T was bad again until about 4am. Finally went back to sleep on and off until 7am. I decided to skip work today to avoid stress and noise and while I was trying to type this I get a call from work. Luckly it was only for a couple of...

Thanks for the suggestion. I am not much of a dry fruit person but I will take it into consideration.

Besides eating only fresh food sodium is in everything. I am going to try and avoid sodium for the next couple of days and see how it goes. "'stay calm and carry on" that is what I am trying to do. I work with a gentleman that is from England and he has that quote hanging on his cubical wall.

Makoto, I have not tried any prescription dugs yet. I am considering it. Just when I think I am doing better WHAM :blackeye: it kicks my butt again.

My T has been bad for the past three days. Last Tuesday was burning the garbage and a stupid aerosol can blew up will I was standing near it but my ears didn’t start bothering me until about Friday. So I am not sure if that was it or not. This morning my ears feel kind of full and pressure in my...

@Steve, Thanks, You mention being able to identify between 2 frequencies. I can hear until the 8000 and then there is nothing after that. Should I be able to hear above that in order to match my T?

Has anyone else had trouble matching their tone? When I try to match my tone around I get to 8 or 9 hz I can’t hear it. If I continue higher I hear nothing. I have read you should double and cut in half your matched tone but when I do that I can hear around the 4-5 hz range and nothing around...

My T bad this morning. I don’t know if it was from the mowing or being at my daughters Prom for a little while last night. I did wear earplugs and earmuffs while mowing to help protect my ears but didn’t wear my earplugs the whole time I was at the prom. I sure hope it goes back down today. It...

I don't think I will yet. I am going to get an appointment with an audiologist next week and see what he suggests. I made it home from Germany after 22hrs of travel. My T doesn’t like long flights. I mowed part of my yard today for about an hour total. The first 30 min. T didn’t seem to...

I think it was a combination of sleep and plane. Sleep would be good and if it helped a little with T would be great.

Made it to Germany, the first 2hr flight was manageable. T was a little bothersome and the headphones helped some. The second 10hr flight was a different story. Tried sleeping on plane and that did work to well got a little sleep but not much. At about the 8hr mark I was ready to get off the...

They are full over the ear headphones and is suppose reduce up to 18 decibels of active noise reduction. I will also have earplugs with me.

It has been 5 days now that my T is back to a manageable state. I am thankful for that and hope it stays that way for a while. I have been taking LipoFlavinoid again for over a week now after stopping them for a week and also add gingko pills. I am not sure if that is what helped my T to low...

FINALLY my T has calmed down; I thought it would never happen. Went for a walk today and picked up aluminum cans out of the road ditch. I live in the country and I will never understand why people are so lazy they can’t take their trash home with them. Instead they throw it out in the road...

I found NCH tone generator download and also Tinnitool website. I would guess that after a few minutes I start to notice it. I will contiune to test it and see what kind of results I get. I keep the volume low as possible.

I found online where I could find my T frequency and matched it around 8hz. When I listen to that frequency for a couple of minutes and stop I don't notice my T as bad. Is that good?? Should I get a masking hearing aids to help with my T?? Can I use the frequency finder and listen to it for a...

Mark, thanks for the post. I went to the AudioNotch website and tried the “find your tinnitus tone”. I was able to match my left ear to around 8000hz. I have never been tested before. I wonder if this would be worth trying? It sounds a lot like the Neuromonics system.

I am also afraid of the dentist now. My T is from acoustic trauma and I can no longer us my ultrasonic tooth brush. I even stopped using my electric shaver due to vibrations. I had a dentist appointment yesterday and canceled due to I stayed home from work yesterday because my T. My appointment...

I think I will avoid it for a while. My left ear hurts today and I feel like I have sinus pressure maybe. I took a benadryl so see if that helps.

At this point I am not sure. My T seems more sensitve now.

Erik, Before HBOT my T was up for a day or so and then back down. So far this is the longest spike (7days now) I have had and I am worried it is not going to go back down. I am trying to stay positive that it will lower again.

Does anyone know if melatonin can make T worse?After I got home from HBOT my T was at a low level and a couple days later I started taking melatonin so I could get a good nights sleep. I don’t know if it is a coincident but that is the same time my T increased and has not lowered for a week now...

Day #6 now and my T is still very annoying. It just won't calm down. My left ear is the worse and my right ear comes and goes. Every once in a while my right ear really chimes in for a second or two and that really concerns me.I try not to worry about it but I hope it doesn't increase also. I...

Well as of today my T has been the same level for 5 days now. This is really getting annoying because it hasn’t lowered any. The only thing I can think of is I have been taking Lipoflavinoid for about three months now and stop taking then last weekend. I not sure if it was helping or not but now...

My job is a little demanding, but most days it is not to stressful. I try not to let my job bother me, but sometimes it does.

Thanks Mick I have been trying to ignore it and not worry about it. Sometimes that is hard to do.

Up till Monday I was doing good then that evening my T increased for some reason. Since Tuesday it has been annoying and won’t let up. It isn’t horrible but very bothersome especially when I try to sleep. I am not sure what caused it to increase, I don’t think it is because I am back to work. I...
