    Tinnitus Masking: MP3s, CDs, YouTube, Other Audio

    This track of crickets is the best thing I've found for masking. It's fantastic for my main tinnitus though it doesn't do so well with the extremely high frequency that pops up in my left ear at times. Anyway, put it on a single loop. In Spotify go to your settings > playback and set the...

    Tinnitus Comes and Goes (Got Tinnitus from a Concussion)

    Sorry to hear. I sleep with cricket sounds on every night now. It's the best relief I've found and really quite nice. I like this video, but there's plenty out there:

    Is It My TMJ?

    It's mostly mindfulness exercises. Being aware of your jaw, always trying to keep it loose. I never let my teeth touch if I can avoid it. The doctor suggested an app on your phone, that will remind you at set or random intervals. He has some Android app but I have an iPhone, so I mostly just...

    Is It My TMJ?

    I recently went to a neck and face pain specialist. I've had TMJ since I was like 8 years old. He prescribed me some cyclobenzaprine, and some mindfullness exercises to keep my jaw loose all day long. I hate being optimistic about anything regarding my T, because so much seems anecdotal...

    Dimethyl Sulfoxide Therapy in Subjective Tinnitus of Unknown Origin

    It is indeed, but apparently it's also a homeopathic remedy for pain. Everything I'm seeing online is very hippy-dippy, and knowing my line of work it's most likely snake oil.

    Dimethyl Sulfoxide Therapy in Subjective Tinnitus of Unknown Origin

    Anyone know anything about this stuff? There's a couple bottles sitting on the free shelf at my work right now.

    Gluten-Free and Feeling Better

    Eight days in, and still feeling much better. If I get poor sleep the T will still go up in loudness, but not to levels I was experiencing previously.

    Gluten-Free and Feeling Better

    Yeah I figured there is definitely a purging process that takes a long time. I'm feeling great right now, though!

    Gluten-Free and Feeling Better

    OK, friends. My first update this week. I'll give you the tl;dr first. tl;dr: I'm 3 full days without gluten, and I haven't felt this good since July when this all started. Some more background. My T started last July when I was under a ton of stress. I was leaving Chicago, where I had lived...

    Can't Sleep? Try These Suggestions :)

    This crickets track saved me from losing sleep. I listen to it on repeat every night. It squashes the tinnitus better than anything else I've tried.

    Intermittent Fasting for Tinnitus Relief

    I just watched that whole thing. I'm definitely interested in this diet, just for a general health and lifestyle change.

    Myoclonus and Diet

    I haven't done the keto diet in some time. I'm thinking now that my T might be more related to muscular stress than anything. I want to go to a doctor, but I feel like I have symptoms of Thoracic Outlet Syndrome.

    Thoracic Outlet Syndrome?

    Has anyone here been diagnosed with Thoracic Outlet Syndrome? For quite some time now, I've had an extreme trigger point under my right clavical (behind it, not below). Previously in my life I've experienced some trauma on this side of my body due to bicycle accidents (being hit by a car)...

    Thync, a Brain-Altering Wearable

    I'm super curious about this but god damn it seems expensive. $299 for the unit and 4 strips. After that, strips comes as 5-packs for $19.99 or you can enter a subscription service to get packs at a discount. Can any users please weigh in with their experiences? Because outside of any effect...
