Michael, thank you for your lengthy article. It was incredibly informative. I know you advise against listening to music on headphones but what about podcasts and cell calls? In other words, voice only content thru headphones or ear buds?

My tinnitus was from loud noises.

Hi, i've seen a few posts of yours about the damage headphones can do to T. My question is would this still apply to tinnitus that's not noise-induced (i.e. theres no hearing loss present)- trying to decide whether it's safe to wear headphones for the hour I am at the gym without worsening my T. Thanks.

A great contributor of this forum. It is lucky we have you.

Learning to have a positive attitude to life is one of the best ways to overcoming tinnitus. It takes time but can be achieved.

Thank you for your kind words. I cannot find a way to send you a PM...

Hello Michael, my name is Mario and I'm new to the talk forum. I've been reading your posts with great interest and I find them to be extremely informative. You are very knowledgeable and I appreciate your willingness to share your experiences and knowledge. Thank you.

Hey man, I've never written to you personally, but I just wanted to let you know, alot of your information and writings have helped immensely in these past few months. Thank you for all you do.

Hi TheDanishGirl, As long as you can hear your tinnitus above the sound enrichment that will be fine. I can only type 140 in this message box.

Hi Michael - I really value your knowledge ad experience and i have a q, you have said that sound enrichment should be set just below tinnitus, but i have to turn up the sounds somewhat loud if i am only to hear my T a little and my H does not like that :/ what do you recommend?

Hi Michael - I have a question, i have been using sound enrichment every night for the past month as advised, and now i have some days where my H is a little better and other days like today where it is back to "normal" (oddly enough my T is a little milder today), is it sign that my H is improving? How long before i will get a more significant reduction overall? a year?

Hey Michael. I really need some advice on how to deal with T immediately. I haven't slept in a good 3 days after my tinnitus got 10 times worse over the weekend. I've tried white noise from my phone but the ringing just seems to get louder. I do have a doctors appointment tomorrow. Anything I should say specifically to get results? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Hi Michael need your help kicking myself on how I got to tinnitus and hearing loss. All earphone use. How do I forgive myself?

Hi Michael
This Forum and Your page has given me hope .I am new to this ,since Christmas i have blocked eustation tubes and sadly reactive tinnitus. I am hoping it will get less over time.I am having to put headphones on everytime i watch TV or use the laptop would you say this is a good thing or not. I have the sound just below my T
Thank you

Sound machine

Hi Michael -
sawyour post about the sound therapy - and about using it at night to reduce H - can you recommend a specific machine or device? what is the most simple way to do it? do I need to listen to it with headphones?

thank you

Hello. Thank you for all your help in this forum. I was reading some of your messages but couldn't find a way to private message you. I was reading your thread about headphones and not using them for listening to music. I was just wondering about your opinion on using headphones for talking. I'm on my cell a lot, do you think headphones are OK for taking on the cellphone? Thanks!!
