    My Triggers

    More to support the stress theory- I just spent a week in Jamaica with my wife. Did nothing but sit on the beach and read books. My T was the lowest it's been in a while. I've also had episodes of irregular heartbeat in the last couple months, quite often. This too stopped while I was away, and...

    Acoustic CR® Neuromodulation: a New Treatment for Tinnitus

    I am doing the ACRN thing. Here's the last post I did in another thread, on Notched Music Therapy. This thread seems more appropriate. "I did a cheap (free) Iphone workaround. Go to the generalfuzz site and get your frequency playing. Download a free app called Audio Loop. This app lets you...

    My Triggers

    I apologize if another thread like this exists, but I didn't see one, so... I'll list my triggers, and if others join in with theirs, it may help some folks realize what can cause their T to be worse. Disclaimer: I wish there was a solid connection between my triggers and T, but it tenuous...

    Another of My Happy Posts

    There is a very real parallel in car forums. I am very active in a particular car brand forum, and the thing is, if you cruise the forum, you'll get the impression that they are full of problems, and very unreliable. That isn't really the case, but people don't go and create a thread called "my...

    Reactive Tinnitus or What is it exactly?

    Lisa, stress and anxiety do have an effect on my T. Mine also reacts to background noise.I fly a great deal, and the constant roar would cause my T to get much worse for a few hours after the flight. I bought a set of Bose noise cancelling headsets, and they are the best thing ever. However...

    Poll: Are You Happy?

    BTW, today's one of those days it bugs me, that's why I'm on here. Otherwise I ignore it, it's business as usual.

    Poll: Are You Happy?

    My T doesn't affect my happiness, since I guess it's mild. (Visiting this site makes me glad my T isn't a bad as some). Some days I'm more aware of it, and it will annoy me, but generally no more. I'd say I'm habituated for sure. One pure tone of 10khz, never changes, always the same, just...

    Notched Music Therapy (DIY, AudioNotch, etc.)

    I did a cheap (free) Iphone workaround. Go to the generalfuzz site and get your frequency playing. Download a free app called Audio Loop. This app lets you record audio, then play it in an endless loop. I held my phone by the speakers and recorded a one minute section. Now I have the acrn...

    Loud Tone for a Few Seconds — Fleeting / Transient Spontaneous Tinnitus

    I am glad to have found this thread. I've had TST for as long as I can remember, long before my T set in, and I've always wondered about it. Mine is unpredictable, but maybe once every month, one ear suddenly rings for 5 seconds and fades away. I am not alone after all! For whatever reason...

    I am on the road, but when I get back i'll try to find a program that will let me do that.

    Notched Music Therapy (DIY, AudioNotch, etc.)

    I've tried Safari and Chrome, no luck so far. I haven't found Firefox for the iphone, it doesn't seem to exist.

    Sparks, what frequencies are you listening to? I tried playing them off the website directly using my iphone, but I can't hear anything. How did you get them into the phone? Thanks Rob

    Notched Music Therapy (DIY, AudioNotch, etc.)

    So this is interesting (to me at least) I am finding it hard, as others have, to find my frequency. What makes it hard in part, is that after hearing a tone, my T almost disappears, and I have to wait 30 seconds, a minute, for it return, so I can compare the sounds again. Strange but...

    Long Time Sufferer

    Hi Markku, My T is unchanged for several years, but it is present all the time, and in the last month it has been a bit louder (it varies in intensity and has for years as well). This has brought it to mind and with the holidays I've had more time to think about it (for better or worse). To...

    Does Your Tinnitus Worsen If You Have Neck Pain?

    I have problems with stiff neck muscles, sometomes causing headaches. My T never goes away, but it does vary in intensity, and when my neck is acting up, the T is a bit louder. In other words, the neck problems make the T worse, not the other way around.
