The man tries to help people and truly believes he is helping some people, which I think there is evidence for, yet there still are always naysayers and haters; like you.

That's a good sign that Tinnitus Mix will help you. Make sure you play it on Koss KTX-PRO1 headphones every night for 3 weeks.
Take a look at my posts in here. I'm one of the most positive people in this forum about your chance for recovery.
If you want to play harsh high pitched noises into your ears to cure your tinnitus, I honestly don't care.
But for anyone else with full cognitive function reading this, I implore you to make better decisions, no matter how desperate you are to get out of the hellscape that is the freakout phase of tinnitus.
You will not cure sound induced injuries with long term exposure to high pitched noise. Rest your ears and relax your mind.
Signed, a guy that had hyperacusis and harsh tinnitus for years and now plays acoustic drums every day.

Hey @Tom Cnyc, I'm in agreement with you. Did you ever have pain hyperacusis (noxacusis) or was it loudness hyperacusis only? What worked best for you to overcome the hyperacusis?

I am well beyond the freakout phase of tinnitus. I have had it since 2007, it sort of faded into the backgrounsd (distorted hearing remained) but then it relapsed/worsened in April following some unfortunate noise exposure and has been hell ever since. I believe tinnitus/hyperacusis is a disease of the brain, a data processing disorder not unlike phantom limb pain. Perhaps there is some minimal hair cell or nerve damage but my/our brains for whatever reason can't cope with it.
The only pills/treatments that provide me relief are a couple youtube videos playing random peeps and squeeks that give me 3-4 minutes of residual inhibition. Case's audio file also provides some temporary inhibition. That or a high dose of benzos or alcohol; both of which are not sustainable or realistic to take on a daily basis.
Science has been unable to crack this code for some time now; I am willing to experiment and try different things to keep this monster at bay. We don't understand the nature of consciousness and perception, or life... science is still operating off of an outdated paradigm that believes that DNA is the sole proprietor in the development of the human embryo.
My point is that we have no conventional treatments, TRT is garbage we both know this... so who knows maybe this guy's audio clip does have some kind of effect on brainwaves or biomorphic resonance or something that we don't fully understand yet. I for one am willing to try and find out. I have nothing to lose. Just as I'll likely try micro-dosing things and other non-conventional treatments because I owe it to myself and my family to try everything to get healthy.
I hope you remain healthy and keep your tinnitus at bay my friend.
You are so wrong. Tinnitus Mix has helped many with sound induced conditions. I sent 3 CDs of Tinnitus Mix to Brian Douglas (moderator of largest tinnitus group on Facebook), he gave 1 to his friend (musician) and he in turn shared it with the second musician.
I downloaded the file and find that 2/3 and 3/3 of the file is generally louder than 1/3. Listening to it might get a little painful if I set the volume correctly in the first 1/3 of the file. I edited and adjusted the volume so it is more even across the whole audio file.
@R. David Case, do you think this will work? I can share the file to whoever wants it.

Do as you will. I personally think hyperacusis is a muscular disorder where the tiny muscles of the inner ear are desperately trying to protect themselves. Like a fist that was clenched for months and doesn't know how to stop aching.
I'm a firm believer that psychedelics and entheogens may have therapeutic effect on tinnitus. I'm not shy that I have had many experiences with this class of substance, including when I had bad tinnitus, and I always had complete relief the entire time and commonly for long periods after. This is not medical advice, just an anecdotal experience.
Very, very bad. I used to wear earplugs to do basically everything due to sound intolerance. Many frequencies for me would cause secondary noises and distortions, and I could hear my tinnitus in a 600 sq apt with a washing machine, dryer, dishwasher, AC unit, and TV on.
I could "feel" it like a Tesla ball moving through my head. My teeth felt phantom vibrations from it.

I know what you mean. My tinnitus had a high pitched squeal modulated with a low 5 Hz rhythmic pulse that would hit my spinal cord and make all of my fingers jump 5 times second. Sleep was impossible. Then I invented Tinnitus Mix and have been tinnitus free for over 20 year only because of Tinnitus Mix.
Here it is.

I am just starting the 3 weeks of listening to Tinnitus Mix with the Koss headphones during sleep.
Would I get better/quicker results by avoiding music and radio during the day? And even listening to Tinnitus Mix during the day?
Essentially starving the ears from external sounds that could reproduce the tinnitus and just providing the healing sounds.

I'm dealing with hyperacusis right now, have had it for about 2.5 years after a serious noise injury. Keep having setbacks right when it feels like I've gotten over the hump.
The fact that you are able to play acoustic drums every day at this point seems incredible, I'd never touch a drum set or electric guitar.
What did you do to get rid of your hyperacusis? I'm a musician and not being able to even listen to music, much less play instruments, is the worst sort of torture...
Have you tried e-drums? That's what I've been using for years: it gives you the ability to keep the volume in check.
Yes you can try that. It is important to use Tinnitus Mix during sleep. It works best that way.
Tinnitus Mix has helped many with hyperacusis, but instructions are different than for tinnitus. You must keep the Koss KTX-PRO1 headphones away from ears, about 4 inches, and start with a few minutes a day and then increase use each day.
That show sucked and was probably the least entertaining creation Chris Morris ever played a hand in.
The rest of his work (as far as I've seen) is quite brilliant.
I'm fine.
My ears hiss a bit. I played drums and electric guitars daily.with moderate protection.
Honestly I slowly reintroduced sounds into my life and rested my ears a lot.
I did use a very cheap LLLT therapy but candidly it probably did nothing.
It's hard to say what worked because I'm a focus group of 1.
I tried every affordable treatment.

Introducing sounds to your ears is very important. Here is what one person said about Tinnitus Mix and how a full spectrum can help redirect neural activities.
