I Invented a Sound That Knocked Out My Tinnitus

[star-affinity]

Sorry for the confusion, I just don't know if it will be permanent or not. Sometimes it goes back to baseline, but calms down. I don't know if this is important but my tinnitus sounds really similar to some parts of the Tinnitus Mix audio.

EDIT:

Oh I just realized what you meant, I meant freaking out in a good way.

Any updates to share?

I still don't dare to try. People get tinnitus from sleeping with headphones and we are attempting to try and cure it by sleeping with headphones.

It sounds a little scary at parts as @GuitarMan mentioned. I have enough trouble sleeping listening to crickets (via pair of Bluetooth speakers). I've never tried listening to this overnight.

Tinnitus Mix is a full spectrum sound mix, not narrow voice frequencies. My girlfriend got tinnitus from the headset at McDonald's she worked at. It has to do with low quality headphones and narrow bandwidth that causes tinnitus. Tinnitus Mix actually improves hearing as it reduces tinnitus and other phantom sounds.

Hi David,

Are there any news regarding your cooperation with Dr. De Ridder?

 

[Tom Cnyc]

Has David actually solved ANYONE'S tinnitus on THIS SITE?

How is anyone still talking about this? This thread is 5 years old. Where are the success stories?

Many in this thread have been helped by Tinnitus Mix if you read the thread. You scare everyone off with your attitude.

Hi David,

Are there any news regarding your cooperation with Dr. De Ridder?

He is trying to find students in a university he works for to possibly tune or modify Tinnitus Mix to help more people.

 

[DaringHope]

I notice you carefully skipped the first question.

Hey! Not for nothing...

AND

I'm VERY late to this party...

But, he is NOT saying "you're not in tinnitus torture."

He is clearly saying "he has escaped tinnitus torture."

If you'll reread it, I'm certain you'll see it.

Thus, the "outside looking in," for you, is that you are outside of the cure, still in the torture, looking into his circumstance of being beyond the torture and his box is the peace and quiet of the cured tinnitus box which so many of us have yet to attain.

Though, maybe y'all have because it's July 2023 as I write this.

I'll go back to perusing the thread, now. Am hoping to find lots of success stories in the hundred pages to come!

God! Why is there so much needless hate here?

A guy is here, giving something away for FREE to help people and all he gets is hate? What is wrong with everyone?

I admit, I am a little scared to try this. I am quite habituated and fear if this will change the tone of my tinnitus and make it harder for me to cope. It is MY fear and I won't start cursing someone just because I am scared.

Come on people!

I think you should try it. I did and found it uncomfortable. A recommendation from your friendly unicorn.

Dude, your toxic positivity starts to be grating. Dial it back a notch.

Did it occur to you that unproven "cure", free or not, can be dangerous? The benevolent inventor was asked many times to legitimately substantiate efficacy of "his" cure, to no avail.

LOL.

Thank you, Unicorn.

Honestly, I want to try it. I'll just wait for when I am on a vacation or have a few days to spare. I cannot afford to crawl into my bed right now.

Well, you cannot please everyone, can you?

While I do consider the negatives, my mind does not automatically find faults with everything. I like to look at the positives first. My logic dictates that he has nothing to gain by giving out these sounds and CDs for free. He is simply trying to help people with something that helped him. That is what I would do. I still have faith in humanity, I am sorry if that's grating.

The Back to Silence method worked for me, it didn't work for you. I cannot prove that I feel better now, can I? He has shared enough testimonials from people who he has helped. What else do you want?

I don't think we got off on the right foot brother. We don't have to agree over everything, do we?

I am finding that desperation for relief drives us to try things, good or bad. When for a lot of us the only thing that is going to help is time and maybe some professional help. I believe all of these things... NAC, supplements and different sound therapies are a try-at-your-own risk. It's a sad reality but it is the reality. Some get great results, some none and others poor.

You won't find them. I think there was one person besides @R. David Case on Tinnitus Talk that reported success with this, but that could have been a coincidence, and they disappeared. If it worked, there should be a lot of positive feedback from the members here. It looks like it's just another sound that can cause some temporary residual inhibition, like many other sounds, in 60% to 80% of people. And a short time later, the tinnitus comes roaring back.

I know it's frequently been recommended never to listen to audio through headphones when you have tinnitus because it can make the tinnitus worse. But wearing headphones with this haunting noise all night is what is being suggested here. It sounds very risky.

Another thing that @R. David Case said in this thread is that it might be the electromagnetic forces from the cheap headphones' coils that are curing tinnitus rather than the sound itself.

It helped me by making me laugh at myself by trying something so ridiculous. That's when I realized that chasing cures for something incurable causes more anxiety and just makes things worse. Once I just went back to my normal routine and bad habits, I started sleeping again without the aid of any drugs, supplements, psych therapies, sound therapies... I don't even need a fan when I sleep. My tinnitus screams everyday, but I just stopped letting it bother me to the point of anxiety.

A good laugh in the middle of the night with Koss headphones wires wrapped around my neck and industrial sounds in my ears is all I needed. I highly suggest it. I tried it for at least three weeks.

I can report that my high pitched, most annoying tinnitus feels a bit lower in volume and more in the background of my consciousness than before since a couple of weeks. Less feeling of "laser in head" too. So not good, but better.

I did go ahead and listen to David's Tinnitus Mix using the Koss headset and a doughnut pillow. I used VLC on an iPhone with volume max on the headphones, and just one step up on volume (from zero) on the phone. I felt okay in the ears in the morning. I didn't listen for three weeks straight (only for a couple of weeks) and I think the headphones fell of a couple of times during the night, so maybe the results would have been even better if I did three straight weeks. Or maybe it's just time that helped – the hearing focused psychologist said to me that it usually took people 6 to 24 months to habituate. Make that 25 months for me then. Of course I'm fully aware that people are still in hell even beyond this time.

What is worse is that even if my tinnitus is a little bit better, I recently got confirmed that I have arthritis in my lower back. Likely because of a back injury from 2007 and then a stupid (and totally unnecessary) lift in May last year. So now it feels like that is my main problem. Constant pain during the day. Exercise helps a little temporarily.

So now I'm reading up about arthritis instead of tinnitus. Quite sad really. Life, you have a bad sense of humor.

Anyway, maybe I am one of the success stories for David's Tinnitus Mix? At least somewhat. Thanks David!

You are welcome. You must follow the protocol or you may not get full results. For example, if the headphones fall off during the night, you have to start the 3 weeks over because the tinnitus structure reforms. if you skip a night, you have to start over.

You have not read this thread or you would know how many reported good results. I guess you also write book reviews without reading the book. And many report tinnitus is gone permanently, you would know this if you read this thread.

Here are just a few of many that I screenshotted:

Pain is the only thing that has been able to redirect my attention from my tinnitus.

 

[Buckyball]

That should be ok, but remember the ear does not have to HEAR Tinnitus Mix for it to work, there are electromagnetic waves also transmitted by the headphones and we believe these may be more important than the sound waves in causing neuroplasticity or stopping tinnitus.

Electromagnetic waves sent by the headphones? Sounds like new age crap. Sound is a mechanical wave.

@R. David Case, do you know anything about Havana Syndrome?

Yes, that was a psychotronic attack (intersecting beams of microwaves) on our diplomats by Russia. It is also called artificial TINNITUS. The U.S. was about to open up relations with Cuba and allow tourism etc. The Russians would not have it and used classified technology to make us leave Cuba.

Don't take my opinion, it is well known that they have had this technology since the 1970s. Read it in their own words, "Transmit neural information to every brain on earth." This is what causes artificial tinnitus.

 

[lymebite]

@R. David Case, I seem to recall, but cannot seem to find it now, that you released an updated version of the Tinnitus Mix earlier this year.

If I am correct in remembering that, I wondered what the differences are between the original version and the new version?
