One of the best ways to cope with tinnitus is to find some type of white noise that brings you relief. I use the Moses-Lang cd from the Oregon Tinnitus Center (503.494.7954). It is the only white noise I've found with high pitches, and that's what masks my tinnitus. I think it is a good idea...

I wonder if niacin (vit. b3) or gingko biloba would help. They both increase blood flow to the brain and have been recommended for tinnitus.

It don't believe it was permanent, but it took a year and one half for the extra exacerbated symptoms to calm down. That included wakening at four in the morning with the literal sound of an alarm clock in my right ear, and I'd have to pace the floor to get the blood pressure down in my head so...

Tinnitus can be very unlivable during the first few months or years, but it seems to calm down after that. My first few years were so awful, I couldn't even lie down because when I did the blood pressure in my head would rise and the tinnitus would sky rocket. If I fell asleep I'd waken to the...

Hi Stan, I am as habituated as I'm ever going to get. I have a nice life, I travel around the country, I petsit, I do lots of social things with friends. Right now I'm going back to school, and I'm also studying comedy writing. Does my tinnitus drive me crazy? When it's moderate I don't pay...

My tinnitus changes all the time, too. When I first got it, the sounds were very freakish. I was very traumatized. I used to tell people I felt like a walking sideshow. I couldn't relate to people who had predictable "ringing in the ear." People with mild tinnitus used to wonder why I was...

Hi Karen, I've always just ordered the Moses-Lang cd over the phone from the Oregon Health Sciences Center, (503) 494-7954. All the best! topaz

Funny to hear someone mention the town of Bisbee on this site. I lived there for a few years many years ago. A very unique little place. We used to love Brewery Gulch days!

Anna, The only thing I ever found to help with really loud tinnitus was very high-pitched sound, such as one finds on the Moses-Lang cd (from the Oregon Hearing Research Center). The 8kHz-14kHz whistling pitch cuts right through roaring tinnitus, and you don't have to make the cd very loud to...

Hi Karen, I read your post and my heart went out to you. Anxiety seems to be the soulmate of tinnitus. We all fear our tinnitus getting worse, and then sometimes it does get worse, and we wonder how we can manage it at its new level. I don't know what I can say to help, just that so many of...

I first got tinnitus in 1996. It started in one ear, progressed to the other, and then filled my entire head. Sometimes I had many overlapping sounds, other times a single air-compressor sound. I initially went to see an ENT, who prescribed steroids, which sent my tinnitus into the...
