I recently had Botox injections in my masseter and temporalis muscles, which were done by my dentist. I grind my teeth at night and have been using a splint for years as a result. I also have some very minor TMJ on my right side, which just so happens to be where my worst reactive tinnitus is...

Strange. It still works for me (latest version of Chrome) although it can take a while for the page to load. Maybe try another browser? Luckily I don't think you're missing out on much even if it doesn't load as there are quite a few similar videos on YouTube.

Looks like the Way Back Machine took a snapshot. Having listened to it for a bit I don't think it's binaural beats but rather white noise with some neuromodulation beeps, but if it helps someone great :)

As someone who went to a specialist and was told about the potential harm of online forums, I can unequivocally say that Tinnitus Talk has been positive for me since my tinnitus started. The forum has provided me with a lot of useful information, pointed me in the direction of useful tools...

Hi Will, As someone for whom neuromodulation sounds show some effect (reducing or eliminating tonal element of tinnitus), I am very excited about the direction of your research. Your theory seems compatible with my experience as my tinnitus is quite variable and when it's at a particular...

Hi RishRamsey, I've created a few different ones: 1250hz, 4250hz and 9000hz. 4250hz is what I use most often, but I occasionally find the others to be helpful too as the tinnitus can change from day to day (and hour to hour). Using headphones seems to be the most effective, but I am reluctant...

Thanks for posting your story, Arahant. My tinnitus didn't seem to arise from a particular noise exposure and being a regular computer user I do wonder whether posture and neck/jaw issues could be exacerbating my problem. Like you, I am able to modulate the tinnitus by moving my neck and jaw...

Hey Alex, If you don't have an Android device, you can try a browser-based version which was built by someone on this forum: http://generalfuzz.net/acrn/. I find that it has a similar effect, though the mobile app is easier to carry around :) Does the tone hang around long for you once you...

Does yours move from being a hissing-type sound to a tone in response to sound? I am currently exploring whether or not there might be a somatic component to the hissing. Ive noticed that neck massage seems to help reduce it and it wouldn't surprise me if stress and posture/computer use played...

My "baseline" tinnitus is an annoying hissing static noise which, although not super loud, has a habit of sitting alongside or above other noises in many environments. It's also reactive, so if I expose myself to certain sounds (volumes, frequencies etc.) it quickly turns into a solid...

Similar experience here. My "baseline" is a static/hiss which seems to react to noise of specific types/volumes to become a tone. It's not particularly loud, but sits on top of other noises in a relatively quiet environment (e.g., office with window open, TV) which is really annoying. I've...

Hi foam - I was working regular hours and sleeping very well and consistently (8 - 9 hours per night without disruption). I've had a couple of weeks off work now and am sleeping between 1 and 4 hours a night typically, often with the aid of sleeping pills. In terms of diet, I keep a very...

Thanks, neo-t. I'm trying to ween myself off earplugs when sleeping, but it's a hard habit to break. So far I can't sleep at all without them :( There seems to be a real link between anxiety and the noise (or at least the perception of it) for me, so addressing that would likely be...
