Among those choices, the neuropsychological appeals most. However... I cannot ever forget that an "alternative" practitioner - the UK cranial-sacral osteopath Richard Holding - switched off my persistent whistle with one gentle pressure on my lower back. Silence after 25 years! I'm keen on...

My ears have whistled on a couple of tones since I was a kid, though never loud enough to disturb me (or anyone else!). One day, aged about 30, I saw a cranial osteopath on another matter. Happened to mention the T. He pressed gently on my sacrum - and the noise stopped. Being of a...

Never yet got a straight audiology answer to whether an aid might worsen hearing. This forum is rather more helpful! Let's just add this: I dug out an older, prescribed, hearing aid to try. It seemed fine but my children were first to say can't you hear the whistle? No I could not, but a mic...

@ Quiet please: it sounds as though you eventually accessed more effective treatment. That's good! How is it going now, if I may ask?

At risk of repeating myself on this forum, I would urge the Michigan researchers - and sufferers - to explore sacro-cranial therapy. A practitioner (UK) was able to turn my tinnitus off, back on at my amazed request, and then permanently off like a switch, by pressing gently on my lower...

According to this hub, a recent wonder drug for T is disappointing… so, take a deep breath: look into Transcranial Direct Current Stimulation. Sounds scary, but in USA people buy simple, low cost tdcs gizmos off the shelf, and they are FDA approved. It is not TENS or cardiac resuss, whatever...

Joao - that's an interesting finding. The cranio explained to me that our skull bones, even in adulthood, are slightly malleable and need to be kept mobilised. For sure I sometimes sensed 'fault lines' after a treatment, yet it was very gentle in the purely mechanical sense. Your toothbrush...

All very interesting! Yes, relaxation helps as Julian Cowan Hill says in his video, but when I commented to my cranial/sacral therapist about my noises I was at that moment very relaxed. I was startled by his ability to turn the noise on and off and back again, like a switch. As I said...

Newcomer here! I first noticed a gentle whistling when I was about six. Thought nothing of it into adulthood but it became obstructive when I went into sound recording. I mentioned it by chance while a sacro-cranial osteopath was working on another issue. He (Richard Holding, UK) asked why I...
