Thank you so much @Hazel for this most excellent reporting! I will be watching with great eagerness.

Returned to this old thread to add that my husband finally agreed to be tested for sleep apnea. It was measured as SEVERE, and he has a CPAP machine and sleeps much more deeply and happily. The machine itself is surprisingly quiet, so that was a relief. Now I have to look into my OWN snoring...

Hi all, I've had manageable tinnitus with no hearing loss for about 4.5 years now. I'm able to suppress it almost always with aerobic exercise, with notched sound if I need a little more, and with low dose melatonin if I really need it. I hardly ever do the melatonin because the exercise has...

I never knew that there was such a thing as "cicada tinnitus" until very recently. I was trying out a new track, which since seems to be gone from the site, that was "river and cicadas". It actually triggered me from quiet to loud. Mine is also maybe pulsatile; I hear a louder and quieter...

I wish I had known this earlier in my tinnitus journey so thought I would call it out plainly with a new forum post. I guess for many this is so obvious it goes without saying, but maybe there are some who will have an a-ha moment too. Sleeping next to a partner who snores loudly will trigger...

Should have popped in again to say that yes, returned to controllable quiet / baseline with heavy AudioNotch, Neural Symphony and heavy aerobic exercise, especially swimming.

Onions, wow, hmm. I cook with onions a lot. I might have to start watching for that relationship. Champagne, apparently, triggers my T (said since I had some yesterday and woke up to T.) Or more specifically, more champagne than is good for me. I guess that goes without saying now that I...

Hey all, I am back in the "watching" phase after several months of basically no T at all. No T because I really couldn't sleep well when I was recovering from shoulder surgery, so I was so focused on the shoulder discomfort, trying to arrange some kind of sleeping space that wasn't horizontal...

thank you for posting this, Markku!

oh boy Glynis, hope your ears were not too affected, and bless you for the depth of your love for your mum and the other patients. May today be more peaceful!

I would like to share some funny positivity today. I have been more and more active over the past 5 years, and in the last year or so I have started jogging. (I'm getting close to 60 so believe me, it's NOT running!) I hit some ice in NY in December, hit the ground and popped both a rotator...

So good to hear! Thanks for letting us know.

I have a really cold bedroom, and one thing that helps me fall asleep fast and stay asleep a little longer is HEAT. I have a heating pad that I sleep on, partly because of a really stiff back / shoulders / neck. It shuts off automatically after 2 hours but the heat is trapped for quite a while...

https://eurekalert.org/pub_releases/2017-01/tjnj-cct011717.php In a study published online by JAMA Otolaryngology-Head & Neck Surgery, researchers evaluated the effect of a cognitive training program on tinnitus. Individuals with tinnitus have poorer working memory, slower processing speeds...
