I first experienced tinnitus in 2005, 14 years ago. I was devastated.
Living in Perth Australia at the time I found out about a company called Neuromonics. The company introduced a plan developed by a scientist at a university in Perth.
They work out if out have any hearing loss - I have minor loss at a very high frequency - and through a sound studio replicate your tinnitus sound. They then create a new sound using an algorithm of the two and merge it with classical music and relaxation type music. They provide a listening device and a set of Bang & Olufsen earphones.
You are meant to listen to the music for two hours a day and they stated that if you did that, their statistics said that 80% of people experienced something like an 80% reduction in their tinnitus.
I listened for six hours a day and within two weeks my tinnitus was gone.
Unfortunately it has made a comeback 14 years later.
I have recently been diagnosed with a neuropathic cough, maybe Globus. It has been terrible. I have been put on two meds. One Endep to try and stop the cough and the other an SSRI anti-depressant called Lexapro.
One of the side effects of Lexapro is "ringing in the ears". This time round the tinnitus is a soft rumbling sound and not too intrusive. I have been using my Neuromonics device but not as much as before and still no relief.
Unfortunately Endep has not helped my cough so I currently have two sets of unwanted syndromes.
Will keep you posted.
