Sometimes tinfoil hat just won't do and one has to use radiation cancelling hat instead :rolleyes: [ATTACH]
Okay, point taken. Have you tried to use noise cancelling headphones instead of earplugs? There should be no amplification of bone conducted...
Human ear is pretty good at comparing sound levels. We judge absolute sound pressure quite poorly, but in AB test one decibel difference is...
No way your own voice goes to 120 dB with earplugs. I am too lazy to dig out any scientific proof, but anybody can test it by comparing 120dB...
I would pay $2800 if my tinnitus would go away and stay away, guaranteed. If t was the only reason for this operation I would not do it. Just...
I just finished reading a book of Lemmy of Motörhead. He used to play with Damned, they called that lineup "Doomed". Lemmy said something like...
@Derbytia, I've had those thoughts too. It is a long tedious process, but after a while you will be just fine. The sound will lose its terror no...
It is a huge annoyance, but it won't define my life any more. I am not ok with it, but it won't stop me doing my thing any more. For the first 12...
Hey guys, TRT is not the cause of your problems.
Remeron aka. Mirtazapine has helped me a lot. I need 1-2 more (than usual) hours of sleep with it though. Very small dose (7.5mg) does it for me....
I think I am in this club. But at the same time I think it is a matter of time. Even though I feel constant distress, it is not as soul crushing...
Speaking of sound waves and auditory pathways, isn't it incredible how efficiently living creatures convert soundwaves into frequency perception?...
Sheesh, this is a bs affliction.. But in my experience those thoughts will fade away after a while. Annoyance lasts quite a bit longer, but that...
I do not know the cause and cannot put a number on loudness, but on a good day it is a 6 kHz whine in my left ear. On a normal day it is a 13.5kHz...
I play gigs, my tinnitus have not got any worse or better. I use custom earplugs with 25 dB filters because my threshold of pain has reduced to 90...
@RaZaH , Heh, after a better period, I had to find my 'Crickets & running water' mp3 today. We'll get there.
@RaZaH I am glad to notice you seem to be doing better these days. Have you been into music stuff already?
Expensive, yes. Hopefully they are durable. Fortunately I can have tax deduction for them..
They arrived today. I ordered HD-15, but they sent me Music-Pro 9-15. Well, they should be about the same. They seem to work as advertised, I have...
@Magpie, he is great.
Me too! I take it as a normal phenomena now, just few months ago it bothered me badly. I don't know if it is TMJ, but I know it is common. Take care.
BTW, sometimes when I feel like masking for comfort, I've found these http://www.aftershokz.com/product/sportz-3/ pretty handy. You won't feel...
Definitely interesting product. Thanks for sharing!
Pair of these: "http://www.amazon.com/dp/B0006B486K/?tag=tinntalk-20" make a pretty good pillow speakers when you take off the ear clips and hide...
It's been periodic for me. I remember on my pre-T days I was concerned enough to do some googling, but did not really find any answers then, so I...
I must ask how are you doing breaking this bad habit nowadays?
Hi, No sustained rings to noise but I've got a nasty distortion for a long time. Most of the time it has occurred for louder-than-talk noises and...
After one year I am not completely habituated, but my bottomless pit of despair has turned into shitty hours here & there. It is an issue still,...
Martin, I would not say you have "very bad psychological problem regarding your tinnitus". Intrusive tinnitus takes the center stage for everyone...
Hi Andrew. I am coming up to my first year in few weeks. I'll have to check the Dove, seems like Elvis had one too:)
Hi there! You have a nice collection of instruments. I spend my evenings wit Flatiron mandolin, a Korean made Fender-stamped irish bouzouki and a...
Congrats! Loar seems like a very nice brand. I am afraid you've already sold that dobro in your profile pic, no? ;)
Ugh. No more nature sounds for me. I prefer my tinnitus over crickets and running water anytime;)
Hi, I am still playing with bands. I use earplugs and won't go into same room with King Kong playing drums:)
Sometimes I use these: https://www.aftershokz.com/products/ They are marketed as bone conduction device, and while that is only partly true -...
And you know what? This too shall pass. -JTP
It surely is very personal thing. Fortunately 7.5mg mirtazapine works for me even after 10 months of usage. Sometimes nightmarish dreams and some...
It was 4 months since my onset when I was in my lowest point and my GP told me to start AD. I think it has helped me. If you go down that route,...
@AliHT Sleep was my only rescue for a quite some time. With Mirtazapine/Remeron my dreams were remarkably fantastic. I looked forward to bedtime...
I am with you. Bring on the noise, lose the earplugs! I start to get comfortable in an environment where most T people get worried about possible...
Music from a proper sound system ?
Hi, @Roger , your experience mirrors mine a lot. Isn't it wonderful when you notice you are not really bothered by the noise? @Tenna , great...
I would write here some very encouraging words, but I am afraid jinxing myself (again) ;)
I do not understand why it is important to have an accurate audiogram ? Do they force you onto hearing aids or what ;)
I know the feeling. My T is wildly fluctuating, sometimes it can be very quiet, but irritating nevertheless. I'd say you'll be OK very soon.
Today I was rehearsing with my band with irish bagpipe, violins, flutes and ummm.. other stuff. I play irish bouzouki and guitar. It almost masked...
vv slowly getting there, I hope. Been there, but staying there is the problem :)
Well, Ibuprofen is said to affect tinnitus, does yours fluctuate normally? Edit: englanniksi täällä:)
For most there is no TRT or any other acronyms available. Time is for everyone.
So quasi-technically you put some loud music into your tinnitus compressor sidechain and set the release time as long as possible :) Gotta have...
At one point my T moved around like I had a mosquito flying in my head. It was hilarious.
Hi Mick, I am sorry to hear about your recent problems. Remember, just because your earlier t did spread into other ear does not mean this time...
Doctors often blame anxiety or stress for this kind of symptoms, but that is only because they have no clue. We have to face it: no-one has a...
You might benefit from neck massage. Until then do not tilt your head backwards:)
So _nothing_ covers it? Shower? Water tap (faucet)? Music? Just noticed this thread was originally about wax removing. Usually wax amplifies...
How loud is it?
At some point I kept listening various sweeps and beeps between 10-15kHz in order to become more tolerant to high pitched tinnitus. It is funny...
You probably experienced so called fleeting tinnitus. Everyone has it, but we didn't pay any attention to it before we got real tinnitus. All of...
Yes, withdrawal symptoms make you more sensitive, it will pass. Did you get any sleeping aid ?
That is great news! Do you think TRT helped you ?
