It has just come to my attention that there is a place in Los Angeles offering this service as well. Has anyone tried TMS? https://tmslosangeles.com/contact-information/

Thanks for that. I guess I had completely misunderstood it. So Active Noise Cancellation is actually physically canceling the incoming sound wave, and it is not just a perceptual trick as I had believed. That is good to know. So in theory, ANC should be safe for people with ear damage. My...

I believe Active Noise Cancellation is dangerous for people with sensitive hearing. It works by generating an inverse sound wave that mirrors the incoming sound wave, aiming to cancel it out. Both waves are then sent into your ear. While your brain may interpret this as silence, your ears are...

I forgot to mention this earlier, but the Lenire representative actually told me that the increase in my tinnitus after my acoustic trauma two years ago was psychosomatic, simply because I had very mild tinnitus before it. This, despite the fact that I could barely hear it in a quiet room back...

I just tried to establish care with a new audiologist. Two audiologists greeted me and then introduced a representative from Lenire. The three of them spent the next hour delivering a highly scripted, high-pressure sales pitch for Lenire. It felt like a timeshare presentation. I have...

I have a theory on why Auricle is delayed. I recently visited a new audiologist to establish care and discuss hearing aids for masking. Two audiologists greeted me and introduced me to a representative from Lenire. The three of them then spent an hour delivering what felt like a scripted hard...

I use Westone custom earplugs with 9 dB filters, which I wear for extended periods when I am around people who might be speaking loudly — basically any group of more than three people. They are very comfortable in my ears and seem to reduce the incoming volume evenly across all frequencies.

Likewise, @Strife_84. I can be working an 80-hour stressful week or meditating for ten days, and neither has any impact on the constant whine in my head. That’s what made me realize this is truly a physical injury in my case, caused by acoustic trauma.

That is exciting. It sounds like there was an anecdotal case of someone whose hearing was improved while on a drug that had a similar mechanism of action.

I have been looking into the solid plugs. How much better are they compared to the ER-25s? Solid plugs combined with construction grade earmuffs might be enough. It is going to be around 100 dB, right? That should bring the level down below 80 dB.

I had no problems with Propofol. The prep was difficult only because it put strain on my body, and I did not get enough sleep. As a result, my tinnitus was worse for a while because of that, but it was no different than what happens when traveling and experiencing jet lag, for example. It was...

I have to attend loud events occasionally for work. I have been using Westone custom fitted earplugs with ER-25 Etymotic filters. These reduce the decibel level by 25, not by a factor of 25 like some non-Etymotic earplugs. They also offer solid filters, which I have been considering but have...

It looks like the original post was deleted. The poster said they had chronic migraines and found that eating a tin of sardines soaked in water was the only thing that kept them away. They also mentioned that the sardines had to be canned less than one year earlier, or else they did not work.

I’ve read in a few posts here that some people believe there may be a link between tinnitus and migraines. I’m not particularly interested in trying this treatment myself, but is anyone a fan of sardines and willing to give it a try and report back?

Posting an update as I am starting the treatment again after six months without it. I have been tracking my tinnitus distress daily for the past three months and will continue tracking it for another three months while using the device. Here is the graph for the last three months. It is...
