    Flare Audio Calmer — Does It Help Tinnitus?

    I'm absolutely loving these as a first impression, after receiving them today. Remains to be known whether all effects I experience stick around past the initial weeks. I think these are helpful in reducing the sum of anxiety I experience. Tinnitus caused me a constant stream of anxious input...

    Fizzing of Carbonated Drinks Acts as Masker

    Tinnitus Tamer has a “noise mode” which is kind of sparkly. Probably not like what you want, but I thought I'd mention it. Amusing masking technique. :LOL:

    Tinnitus Pro: Music Therapy iPhone App

    Is there a way to notch multiple frequencies with Tinnitus Pro? I bought it earlier but didn't find a way to do that. I have made three presets, but can only select one at a time.

    Meclizine (Postafen, Bonine) Helped a Guy to Cure Tinnitus

    Niacin somehow combined with GABA which is supposed to calm something in the brain down. I don't really know. :cautious: I felt very calm the first days, but might have been placebo as well.

    After rebooting I found that AU Lab did not load my notching track, which resulted in no sound at all since I have Soundflower as output in System Preferences -> Audio. This should be a solution to that:

    Remember to disable the notching by selecting Headphones again instead of Soundflower in System Preferences -> Sound -> Output if you listen to already notched audio or use a program like Tinnitus Tamer.

    I found a good guide using AU Lab from Apple: http://best-mac-tips.com/2013/01/31/free-system-wide-audio-equalizer-mac/ I saved my presets made in Garageband and opened them in AU Lab. The benefit of AU Lab being not having to run Garageband which consumes more resources. Garageband is not...

    I can't edit posts older than some amount of time. Markku, do you know how long it is? I wrote a bit about a concert I attended in another thread. Now, I can't tell since I haven't taken Postafen long enough streaks or very scientifically to really know, but I think I'll have to call placebo...

    Going to Concerts with Tinnitus?

    I was at Summerburst (music festival) recently and used Killnoise earplugs almost all of the time around the music. I didn't go very close, but it was loud without earplugs! UltimateEars SPL app indicated around 90-96 dB with frequency weighting ‘C’ (captures more bass). Tried the other mode ‘A’...

    Damn annoying that many substances seem to help some with tinnitus but exacerbate it for others!

    Jag har oftast ljud igång när jag är hemma, men jag var i en stuga ute i skogen igår och tänkte inte alls på tinnitusen. Att vara ensam inomhus hemma i tystnad är värst.

    Tycker inte ens jag hör det ibland, vilket förstås är underbart. Är nyfiken på att testa notched music therapy, men har inte hittat min frekvens. Undviker det också lite just nu då det känns smått riskabelt. Kanske slår igång frekvensen på högre effekt igen och inte hittar rätt för att...

    Försöker att inte mäta volymen så mycket, och har blivit mycket bättre på att distrahera mig från tinnitusen. Det är fortfarande irriterande ibland, men har mer hopp nu!

    Hej! Väldigt bra senaste veckan. Men innan det var den tillbaka och störde ganska mycket. Det går lyckligtvis bra att täcka den med musik nu, vilket inte var möjligt förut! Fortfarande osäker på om den blev lägre av Postafen, eller om placebo gjorde att jag mentalt kunde släppa det lite bättre.

    I found this in their newsletter today about avoiding silence: http://www.audionotch.com/blog/tinnitus/new-research-suggests-people-with-tinnitus-and-hyperacusis-should-avoid-quiet-environments/ I think this is true or true-ish for me.

    My tinnitus has returned a few times, full force or almost I'd say. I have not taken the pills every day, perhaps not even most days since I discovered them. Placebo is powerful and I don't feel as confident in Postafen as before, but hope is not entirely gone. Overall I have to say it has been...

    I hope this helps as answer. I'm not very good at explaining, but if you ask the right questions I may be able to answer them. Yes, I realize I'm probably very lucky this works, which I am grateful for. Mine was also always on, constantly. I can see this drive someone mad. :banghead:

    I don't hear the noise today. (y) I simply took one at around 17:30 first day. Second day when I woke up, not sure if one before bed too. Next few days I took in the morning and before sleeping. Then a few days without until last night. Today it's good! The box says 1 pill an hour before your...

    I have gone since my last post Sunday night without taking any Postafen and it has been pretty great to be in unbothered silence. It pretty much returned a few hours ago though, so I took another one now. It's not as annoying as before but it will probably soon be if it continues. I hope these...

    Good find! Perhaps with niacin is even better. I still experience some noise intermittently, but it's much less annoying than before. It appeared as kind of whooshing and suddenly turned tonal when I was in bed the other day. It's now higher frequency than I've had before, or simply lower...

    65 SEK for a box of 10 pills. Approximately 10 USD or 6 GBP. Yes, I will keep you updated. Today I did not take anything and it was gone all day. Took a half just minutes ago though, before I read your post. I seem to have a little noise still, but I'm not entirely sure it's any more than...

    Hello! I read this a few days ago and decided to give it a shot, though my hopes weren't very high. Turns out it actually worked for me! My tinnitus has diminished to such levels it does not annoy me anymore. I'm not even always entirely sure it's still there, and I try not to listen, but I...
