    Side Effects of Vitamin D Supplements — Tinnitus and General Wellbeing Negatively Affected?

    Drachen, I'm pretty sure that taking vitamin D3 supplements makes my T worse. I've come across a number of places on the internet where people report that supplementing with D3 can cause severe insomnia. Taking D3 has done that in the past to me, though I have to say that sometimes have bouts...

    Running (Exercise in General) and Tinnitus

    Lane, that's good advice. My tinnitus began over a year ago, shortly after getting one of those small trampolines /rebounders. I stopped using the rebounder and began taking brisk walks, looking for hills to get a better workout. It's worked out pretty well. A couple of days ago I decided to...

    My Tinnitus Went Away! It Does Go Away

    He didn't say "It does not go away for everyone" (fact), rather "It does not go away for most people" (conjecture) and that the cure depends entirely on luck (broad guess). Then "Lucky You!" (condescending remark).

    My Tinnitus Went Away! It Does Go Away

    Rather jaded remark. What entitles you to say that?

    My Tinnitus Went Away! It Does Go Away

    Congrats, ThomasW for your success! Thanks for sharing your thoughts and careful observations. I'm 7 months into this and am open to trying new things, whether it be sound therapy, psychology or supplements. I appreciate the research that you've done, how you've cracked a code for yourself and...

    A Cold Medicine with Ibuprofen Silenced My Tinnitus

    Wonderful story! I love the thought of looking over a beautiful desert vista and realizing it was perfectly quiet. Did the cold medicine combination knock out your tinnitus for good? I looked up Dristan Tablets and sure enough they are discontinued in the US, though they are available in Canada...

    I Invented a Sound That Knocked Out My Tinnitus

    I was beginning to feel discouraged with only a modest improvement in the ringing after listening to the sounds for about 3 weeks now. This morning when I first got up I had to look hard for the ringing. That lasted only for a few minutes. The ringing did return and for a few hours it was very...

    I Invented a Sound That Knocked Out My Tinnitus

    Day 17 . After struggling with it in the first week or so, I've been sleeping longer hours listening with the Koss phones. Have been experimenting with natural/herbal sleep aids. Had a loud tinnitus on Monday, a big snow storm day but it calmed down to baseline the next day once the barometric...

    I Invented a Sound That Knocked Out My Tinnitus

    The 13th night... had a light tinnitus day the following day. The 14th night I slept well but only listened while asleep for about 5 hours, then dozed on and off, listening to the sounds, frustrated at not sleeping the full night with the headphones on. In the morning I notice the usual high...

    I Invented a Sound That Knocked Out My Tinnitus

    Night 12. Recently I've been sleeping longer hours while listening to Tinnitus Mix, giving it 8 hours or so. The sounds de-stress my mind. I'm trying to get to bed before 10pm and sleep/ listen for as long as I can. I'm not the best sleeper, so I'm taking things like passiflora, taurine or...

    I Invented a Sound That Knocked Out My Tinnitus

    Day 8 - Yesterday I took the Koss headphones / ear pieces out of the headpiece and sewed a closure inside a knit headband to secure them. It made it much more comfortable. The headphones stayed in place right on my ears and I could sleep on my side if I wanted. I can't believe I got 7 full hours...

    I Invented a Sound That Knocked Out My Tinnitus

    My next step is to do this therapy as long as possible while continuing to take turmeric, glutathione, and NAC supplements. Then I am going to slowly experiment coming off them and the Tinnitus Mix one by one and see if I am healed or if I am just suppressing the tinnitus. I want to go and hop...

    I Invented a Sound That Knocked Out My Tinnitus

    I wasn't expecting the hearing to improve like that... especially in less than a week! More people should be trying this. Now if I could get to where I'm able to sleep consistently with the headphones on I have a better shot at lowering or getting rid of the ringing. I'll try having the volume...
