The days are brighter and the weather warmer as we enter the first days of June. Throughout the winter months, Alfie and Polly's activity has been relatively quiet. Neither of them has caught a bird or mouse in the garden and brought it through the cat flap where it would meet its untimely fate...

You are welcome @Gwen1234. I think you will find the information in my articles helpful. Best of luck, Michael

Many things can cause tinnitus, including neck pain and the TMJ you have mentioned. You may indeed have Pulsatile tinnitus. However, if you have been listening to audio regularly through any type of headphones, even at low volume, then you might have noise-induced tinnitus. If you have attended...

If you took the time to read all of my post instead of quoting just a small section of it, then you might not have such a flippant attitude to TRT and CBT. When these treatments are administered correctly, and the patient is willing to work with the therapist, they can help a person affected by...

You are welcome Mary. It is a lot to read. I suggest that you print the articles, and then take your time to read them. All the best, Michael

Hi Mary, I also use Oticon hearing aids with 3 sounds built in: Pink noise, white noise, and ocean waves. I do not have any hearing loss, so my audiologist disabled the hearing aids via computer when I was fitted with the hearing aids. They operate purely as wearable sound generators. Please...

Hi Mary, You are unlikely to become addicted to Clonazepam if you are properly managed by your GP/PCP on how much you take. My ENT consultant prescribed me Clonazepam in 2010. I was advised to take it only when the tinnitus was severe. I would take 2X 0.5 mg tablets, once or twice a month for...

Hi @cicou. I am sorry to hear of the difficulties that you are having with tinnitus at the moment. I advise you to print the articles listed below, which are available on my started threads. Take your time and read them. This way you will absorb and retain the information better than reading it...

Some people who have noise-induced tinnitus believe that wearing earplugs will keep them safe when going to a bar or club where loud music is played. However, this is not necessarily true. If external sound is loud enough, it can pass through the head and reach the inner ear via bone conduction...

Thank you for your kind words, @Isabella 123. I wish you all the best going forward. Take care, Michael

Hi Isabella, Whatever brand of Ginkgo Biloba you take, it is important to follow the instructions on the bottle and not overdose yourself. “Tincture” means liquid. When Ginkgo Biloba is taken as a liquid, it usually enters the bloodstream faster than in tablet form. I take Ginkgo Biloba made by...

Of course you don't have noise-induced tinnitus. How silly of me to suggest such a thing. Michael

I am not into avoiding sounds either, and I agree with you that's not the way to live. I am an audiophile and regularly listen to my Hi-Fi at 50 to 70 decibels without any problems. I only use hearing protection when using my petrol lawn mower and electric drills. If you're sure the desktop...

I am unable to recommend specific desktop speakers for you, @AfroSnowman, but I do have a few suggestions to consider. I think it would be better to purchase a pair of speakers from a store for a home trial rather than buying them online. When you visit the store, explain to the manager the...
