I've been gone for 2 years (I've had tinnitus for 4 years now) and my tinnitus is more annoying than ever (if I don't mask, exercise, etc). I...

Agreed Daniel. I have a couple friends who are really in bad shape; one with Huntington's Disease and the other paralyzed from the neck down from...

Thank you Jason. I actually have a friend who owns a plastics molding company down near St Louis, Missouri. I really appreciate your help with...

Thanks Jason! -- You are a wealth of information! :-) I will dig into this and get back to you soon.

Thank you Jason. I will check that out for sure. I've been trying to figure out how to get investors interested in an ear piece masker and...

Thanks for the feedback everyone. I was just going to listen to my "crickets/cicadas" app and was thinking of wireless ear buds instead of those...

I went to a quiet dinner party last night and now my T is spiking again. Rather than too much noise, it must have been the many appetizers I ate...

Thanks Jason. -- I am doing better today. Masking and eating healthy really helps me get back on track and out of depression. I will update you...

It was a friend's Tesla X car stereo that he was showing off as we drove around. -- I got caught up in the moment. -- I think I'm just imagining...

I held back and then went to a loud party a couple weeks and have had a T spike since. -- I wasn't wearing an ear plug in my bad ear though so I...

I will research and see if I can present it to some kind of investor finance group to develop. Just being able to wear one for a few hours a day...

Hello Jason, Did anyone ever point you in the right direction on this? I've been wanting to invent an earpiece specifically for T masking but...

Someone would make a lot of money if they invent a cure for tinnitus. -- There are literally millions of people with T worldwide. I would be all...

Definitely. Especially when I drink a Coke with it. Rather that Sweet and Sour which really gives me a spike, I now for Beef and Broccoli which...

Try saying that name 10x in a row! Ha ha... I was hoping for 3 years until that came and went. I can deal with 5 years and appreciate this...

Yeah. I think that drops in the ears to rid of T is not a good idea. I tried some over the counter stuff when I first got T and it obviously...

In the last 3+ years, I've tried everything from supplements to acupuncture and Apple Cider Vinegar (with "Mother") is, by far, the cheapest thing...

Yeah. It is easy to get caught up in the moment and nobody ever thinks about protecting their ears. I was always careful until I pulled a stupid...

I made the mistake of not protecting during loud music in a bar and am now dealing with the spike of my life.. :-(

I agree. -- I just turn into a zombie and can't get work done properly. Good diet and exercise is key. -- I fell of that plan but am getting back...

Hello Mark. Do the ACV drops actually make it to your inner ear? -- I would think that the drops would stop at the ear drum and, therefore, not...

I hear you Allan. I think we are the same age (51). -- I dread another 40 years with this beast but just take it a day at a time.

Has anyone tried to acquire and assemble their own LED light source for cool light treatment at home? So far, I've located the following: 1. 20w...

I agree and plan to try this but on a more affordable scale. So far, I've located the following: 1. 20w LED light (eBay) 2. heat sink (eBay) 3....

I will research this. Thanks Tex. -- I do love my coffee.. :-)

Mine is self-inflicted too but a much different method. -- Hang in there. I am researching LED light therapy and plan to build a home kit which I...

Makes sense John. Because of work related stress in the last year, my T has been very bothersome. -- Eating bad during this time doesn't help...

My morning coffee calms my T down and afternoon coffee makes it spike. -- Go figure. Guess I will stop the afternoon coffee..

We have the exact same cause and T in one ear challenge. I was doing good until about a year ago when it seemed to get worse (or I gave up hope...

I agree Stephen. -- I don't like the idea of someone linking to my bank account. If T is predominant in the U.S. as well, I'm curious as to why...

It gets worse in the Winter because all the windows are closed and we don't get outside as much which hampers natural masking.. :-(

Thanks! I'll give it a try. I use a lot of salt and need to cut down on that first. -- I was doing so well in the first 2 years but have been...

Exactly. I wish I had a warning..

I feel as though I just read the fine print on a prescription bottle.. Has Tebonin worked for anyone?

Same here. Ha ha..

I thought it was a gift as well when I was being healthier. The trick is to stay healthy, meditate, etc because once you stop, Mr T creeps back...

I agree. When I'm frustrated with Mr T, I come to this forum. Talking about it helps me forget it for a while. I think subliminally my brain is...

Hang in there and remember that there are worse ailments and situations that people are in. I know it's hard to do but true and the biggest...

Got it Got it. I think it's my inner hairs that are dead since I remember the burning being deep inside my head when it happened.. :-(

No hyperacusis for me. -- Just a constant ringing that never subsides unless I eat very healthy and exercise regularly which is hard to do when...

No hearing loss at all. Within the first month, I went to two different ENTs and had an audiogram. The ENTs didn't really know what to say but...

Thanks. It was just one concert that I did something very stupid at. -- I cupped my ears for the guitar solos until my ears burned. -- I wouldn't...

I feel your pain. I'm hitting my 3 year "anniversary" and was doing much better early on for some reason. I don't let it scare me anymore but...

That is hopeful news. -- Thanks for sharing. After 3 years with T from one loud concert, I pray for a cure or at least a downtick in the noise...

Thanks John. I don't mean to be a downer.. I think it's just a combination of me getting off my healthy diet and less exercise since I've been...

Acceptance works and meditation is a great tool to get there. Unfortunately for me, I stopped accepting it in the last year and it has become...

Hello Lane, My wife and I just switched to Himalayan salt about 2 months ago since we are now on the Keto diet. I didn't really notice a...

I hear you. My T was caused by me cupping my ears during a very loud and long guitar solo. My ears would burn, I would stop and then start again...

Thank you Deep Universe. We are about the same age and I still struggle off and on with my T for the past 3 years. A good diet and exercise go a...

My sentiments exactly. -- It's been a roller coaster ride for almost 3 years for me. Lately, it seems to be louder and will hopefully subside...

Yes, that is exactly what habituation is. I find that masking, keeping busy, eating healthy (low salt) and exercise help keep me in habituation...

Thanks. Makes sense.. :-)

Give it a week and mask as much as possible. I have a great app on my phone which has "Cicadas" which sound more like crickets. -- PHONAK is the...

Thank you Peter. What is the ATA?

I did go down to baseline after about a week. Now I'm on a super healthy food plan which I thought would help and it seems to be spiking again...

I agree. Anything to get your mind off it is good. I find that playing music or podcasts totally gets my mind off of it. -- Also, running,...

Hello again Andee, Was your tinnitus noise-induced?

Wow! That is encouraging Andee! My wife and I just started the Keto diet, however, my T is spiking since my body is missing the fast food, pizza,...

Just think of all the military folks who come back from service and have T. -- I've seen a few on this forum but they probably just think of it as...
