I Invented a Sound That Knocked Out My Tinnitus

Would listening to something like techno at low volume be similar? Or is it something specific about this hellish track? I dabbled in music production few years back so I do have high fidelity headphones. I usually have techno playing on my studio monitors at low volume throughout the night, which helps me way more than any white noise / nature sounds. If anyone's interested, try the "awakenings" channel on YouTube. Some great music.

Anyway, going to give this a try for a full night starting tonight. Had tinnitus for 10+ years. I'm guessing it was due to loud noise / concerts. The intensity varies daily. Tinnitus is always loudest when I wake up from a nap. I don't know why that is. It'll reduce in volume a few minutes after I get up from bed.

Here's a 8-hour file of David Case's Tinnitus Mix! It's almost 6 gigabytes in size because it's uncompressed WAV! BEST QUALITY!

I started it with a nice smooth sound of shower. Then over the first 30 minutes the actual treatment starts, fading in second by second.

ENJOY!!!

Thanks for your help, that could help many that have a hard time getting used to the sounds.
 
My entire argument is that it is easy for loud volumes to accidentally occur. Of course it is not dangerous in theory to listen to headphones on low volumes, but so many videos, and audio on the internet and even some music tracks are mixed way too dynamically, worst offender, Vines, where they max the preamp out in the video editor and the sound goes crazy loud in the punchline or whatever. Also, computers, which include iOS phones and Androids, use sound drivers and if you have ever heard sound drivers crash and shriek at 100% volume you would be weary. Yes using Tinnitus Mix is a risk, but it is a good one. Better than playing games or watching garbage on the internet.
That's another reason to get the Koss headphones, they have an ANALOG volume control in the cord, this gives you unlimited amount of control of the volume, many report without the analog volume control they have a hard time finding the right volume level.
 
Hello Mr. David Case,
I have pretty bad hearing... like a ski slope bottoming out at 70 decibels at 8000, starting the tabernacle at day 2000.

Anyhoo, my question is, have people who qualify for or use hearing aids benefited from your invention?

Thanks, in advance... Daniel
Well we know that Tinnitus Mix can improve hearing, reduce tinnitus, stops clicking sounds, gives clarity of mind. Many that have hearing aids are using Tinnitus Mix in my test group and expect more success stories as time goes on.

If you're going to do this therapy, do it right and keep us posted. Don't do it too loud either. I expect all of you trying this now to follow through and tell us what happened. Also you might as well leave a brief description of your tinnitus cause, sound, whether it is somatic or not, just whatever. It is for the greater good.
Yes, everyone should understand to play Tinnitus Mix on low, don't try to mask your tinnitus with it.
 
Woke up today without ringing at all but had a random morse code in my right ear that stopped after a 20-30 minutes. No tinnitus pretty much since then lol, feels kind of weird to be honest.

Going to keep listening to it daily for the next 3 weeks and then cut down to 2-3 times per week as instructed.

Will report back after some days or if anything new occurs.

Until then I suggest more people giving this thing a try.
THAT'S GREAT!! Just don't skip a night or the tinnitus will try to reform.
 
Stupid question (sorry!)... on an iOS device, how do I download this 7 times for a continuous night? The file opens and plays, no way to save it that I know of on iOS... or should I get a simple MP3 player that will accept .wav files?
I don't know about the apps, but many just download 7 copies. I use a Sony UX-560 high quality recorder and it has on board EQUALIZER, using that I turn up high frequencies and turn down low frequencies and it works better than the raw file.
 
OKAY WEIRD!!!!!

Now I am sitting in my office. My normal tinnitus is gone and has turned into an extremely low volume hum at around 660 Hz mostly in my right ear. This has never happened before. FYI 660 Hz is a very low frequency. I can also just barely hear it. This is actually quite amusing. Coincidences happen but funny this is happening now of all times.
THAT'S a great sign you are on your way to a tinnitus free life!!!! Tinnitus Mix is going to war with your tinnitus and your tinnitus is losing!
 
Well hot DAMN today has been another big improvement. I almost feel like writing a success story.

LMAOOOOOOO!!!!!!

If this works then I think I know exactly how and that means R. David Case is an accidental genius of the ages.
Did the loudness remain at the same level the day after (today)?

You got me hooked guys.

I agree. I wish I would have tried this sooner. Still though, I think your explanation regarding SIGINT is incorrect for 99.9999% of us. I'd be honored if you would check MPP and read my explanation for how I think your sound works and let me know what you think. I'm definitely going to get my hearing tested after I get as much out of this as I think I can.

I only made it three hours last night. I'd say it is the same as yesterday. I also didn't sleep very well last night because my dodgey old dog kept making me let her out and my little boy was having nightmares or something and kept waking up crying. Sleeping with headphones on super sucks.
 
After a few false starts, I'm committed to this. Last night was the second night that I was able to sleep while listening to it with the headphones on. I liked it and found it relaxing (mostly). Maybe the .wav version is better or I'm getting used to it. So far my tinnitus is still there but bothers me less somehow. I feel more focused and at peace.

About me - My tinnitus has been somatic (in that it varies in pitch with facial, jaw or tongue movements), is intrusive, high pitched, constant but changing, 24/7 for the past 4+ months. I often distract myself from it/forget about it for periods of time during the day. Cause is unknown, factoring in being over 60, stressed, not protecting my ears well enough, having allergies and sinus problems. My sleep cycle has been way screwed up since I first got tinnitus last July. For the first 3 months I'd dread night time. The worst was to wake up to my high pitched "head" tinnitus from sleep in bed at night. I would freak out, get up, pace around, go outside, pray, try to distract myself. I felt scared and depressed at night. So to compensate I started sleeping in front of the tv in the evening, drifting in and out of sleep while watching Turner Classic Movies, Perry Mason reruns, spiritual or religious programs, easy paced stuff. Sometimes I take Benadryl, have dark chocolate or a drink to help relax. I often get to bed after midnight where I have a varying amount of regular sleep. A few nights have been sleepless. I'm glad that my husband has been sympathetic. He has no hearing at all in one ear and has a milder version of tinnitus. I try to get daily exercise, eat well and stay open to healing.

Tinnitus Talk has been a godsend!

I hope that I can sleep in bed for longer stretches while wearing headphones listening to Tinnitus Mix. Also to take time to listen for awhile during the day. That's my goal for now.
 
It's been about 30 hours since I began using the Tinnitus Mix. My tinnitus is less annoying and less reactive. But, I don't know if this is placebo or not. I have this feeling, like tinnitus is just less present.
 
That's another reason to get the Koss headphones, they have an ANALOG volume control in the cord, this gives you unlimited amount of control of the volume, many report without the analog volume control they have a hard time finding the right volume level.
What's the right volume?
 
Any changes in visual snow?
I Only ever had very very light visual snow that I could oddly only see looking in the deep dark green of evergreen trees. I got the nasty floaters. I don't remember noticing them really today, or yesterday. My floaters have consistently fluctuated with my tinnitus.
