    Flare Audio Calmer — Does It Help Tinnitus?

    I'm absolutely loving these as a first impression, after receiving them today. Remains to be known whether all effects I experience stick around past the initial weeks. I think these are helpful in reducing the sum of anxiety I experience. Tinnitus caused me a constant stream of anxious input...

    Notched Music Therapy (DIY, AudioNotch, etc.)

    Welcome, and thank you! I was looking for that but didn't find it. (y)

    Fizzing of Carbonated Drinks Acts as Masker

    Tinnitus Tamer has a “noise mode” which is kind of sparkly. Probably not like what you want, but I thought I'd mention it. Amusing masking technique. :LOL:

    Tinnitus Pro: Music Therapy iPhone App

    Is there a way to notch multiple frequencies with Tinnitus Pro? I bought it earlier but didn't find a way to do that. I have made three presets, but can only select one at a time.

    Meclizine (Postafen, Bonine) Helped a Guy to Cure Tinnitus

    Niacin somehow combined with GABA which is supposed to calm something in the brain down. I don't really know. :cautious: I felt very calm the first days, but might have been placebo as well.

    Notched Music Therapy (DIY, AudioNotch, etc.)

    After rebooting I found that AU Lab did not load my notching track, which resulted in no sound at all since I have Soundflower as output in System Preferences -> Audio. This should be a solution to that:

    Remember to disable the notching by selecting Headphones again instead of Soundflower in System Preferences -> Sound -> Output if you listen to already notched audio or use a program like Tinnitus Tamer.

    Notched Music Therapy (DIY, AudioNotch, etc.)

    I found a good guide using AU Lab from Apple: http://best-mac-tips.com/2013/01/31/free-system-wide-audio-equalizer-mac/ I saved my presets made in Garageband and opened them in AU Lab. The benefit of AU Lab being not having to run Garageband which consumes more resources. Garageband is not...

    Meclizine (Postafen, Bonine) Helped a Guy to Cure Tinnitus

    I can't edit posts older than some amount of time. Markku, do you know how long it is? I wrote a bit about a concert I attended in another thread. Now, I can't tell since I haven't taken Postafen long enough streaks or very scientifically to really know, but I think I'll have to call placebo...

    Going to Concerts with Tinnitus?

    I was at Summerburst (music festival) recently and used Killnoise earplugs almost all of the time around the music. I didn't go very close, but it was loud without earplugs! UltimateEars SPL app indicated around 90-96 dB with frequency weighting ‘C’ (captures more bass). Tried the other mode ‘A’...

    Damn annoying that many substances seem to help some with tinnitus but exacerbate it for others!

    Jag har oftast ljud igång när jag är hemma, men jag var i en stuga ute i skogen igår och tänkte inte alls på tinnitusen. Att vara ensam inomhus hemma i tystnad är värst.

    Tycker inte ens jag hör det ibland, vilket förstås är underbart. Är nyfiken på att testa notched music therapy, men har inte hittat min frekvens. Undviker det också lite just nu då det känns smått riskabelt. Kanske slår igång frekvensen på högre effekt igen och inte hittar rätt för att...

    Försöker att inte mäta volymen så mycket, och har blivit mycket bättre på att distrahera mig från tinnitusen. Det är fortfarande irriterande ibland, men har mer hopp nu!
