    New University of Michigan Tinnitus Discovery — Signal Timing

    Well, not really. We do know they used a personal frequency for the trial, but the timing, electrode placement, session length, and overall trial duration were standardized. So it could be any of those factors. Still, this is all speculation for now, and it will probably become clearer once the...

    New University of Michigan Tinnitus Discovery — Signal Timing

    Well, the issue was that in the first trial, they applied the device for four weeks, and during the washout phase all the gains, or rather reductions, eventually disappeared. The positive results were only temporary. In the second trial, they applied the device for six weeks instead. Unlike in...

    New University of Michigan Tinnitus Discovery — Signal Timing

    In that form, it says the event will take place on the 13th of October. Is that just a placeholder, or will that be the actual date of the event? Either way, I’m really glad you took the time to organize this. I’ll be keeping my fingers crossed, even for just a little bit of good news.

    Tinnitus Perception vs. Actual Volume

    Exactly @Makrohn, otherwise there would be fantastic therapies that would get rid of the sound permanently if only we would try hard enough.

    Tinnitus Perception vs. Actual Volume

    Perception making it less worse is saying like you can still stand on a broken leg because your leg is still attached to your body. It's nonsense, I'm sitting here now and I'm trying to make my T go away but it won't. It'll keep coming back, well let me rephrase that: it never goes away. My...

    Why You Shouldn't Be Afraid of Suicide Stories

    There's a few things that always comfort me during T. - We're not going through this alone. - There's probably someone else in this world who has worse T than me. - I still have moments where I can laugh and enjoy even though it is not silence anymore. - I have seen a lot of awareness and there...

    Anxiety to... Everyday Noise

    I had the same feeling even though I have T not that long as you. If a normal sound irritates you then you might have H. I got rid of it by opening my window at night. Before I did this even a passing car in the street could irritate my ears, made me stress out and eventually I got a new sound...

    Low Frequency Added to My Orchestra

    I might have not been so active on this forum but you all and Tinnitus are still on my mind. Even though my high pitched T is still screaming and I lost my anxiety to it the last time I posted here (29 of august). That time my low pitched hum was still blazing. But, since its start in the mid...

    New to Tinnitus and Distressed!

    What I've read over the past couple of months is that use of oxotoxic medication can result into T. The risk is higher for long-term than short-term and logically short-term use has a better chance of healing than long-term use. So like the rest of the people that come here: we can't say if it...

    New to Tinnitus and Distressed!

    Also make sure you eat well, green food carry a lot of anti-oxidants that help recovery. So stock up on vegetables and fruit. In the meantime, stress is difficult but it should sort out eventually. I'm in this for 5 months now and I'm learning to live with it even though I miss the sound of...

    Why Can Birds Restore Their Hearing Yet We Cannot?

    I've read somewhere that the hearing of mammals is much more sophisticated than of birds. Our range is better, their hearing is still underdeveloped and thus easier to fix.

    Poll: Do You Have Multi Tonal Tinnitus?

    Yes I too have multiple tones, I can hear 7 of them clearly. They range from 6-8khz while one is a really low drone sound of 50hz. Luckily I'm Tinnitus stress free now but I still hope for some improvements because I've had none to this day. The low drone sound had some improvements last week...

    Three Things I Do to Mask/Lessen My Tinnitus (I Hardly Hear It)

    Hi John, Sadly magnesium did not influence my Tinnitus. But it does help against stress because that uses up magnesium rapidly and it helped my bowel movements even though most people report the exact opposite. I took 200 mg before going to bed. It's cheap and it won't hurt you so it's always...

    Poll: Did the Severity of Your Tinnitus Change Over Time?

    Well this poll will be really discouraging for a lot of people because most people who saw improvements eventually left this site.

    Soundpillow: Dangers?

    Generally speaking you put sound close to your ears so its the same like using a headphone to play white noise at low volume level, not the exact same because headphones are realy direct but still it's pretty close to your ears. It's better to lay that pillow at your feet and set the volume a...
