I bring this up every now and then, to see if there are others who suffer from tinnitus and can feel the buzzing. I can feel the buzzing in my left ear. It initially started out as a chirping sound, randomly. I have no idea what causes the timing and when it would chirp but I have counted...

In order to get a proper diagnosis, you need to almost have a constant full blown HFS attack. Otherwise they will not take you seriously. Then you need to have a Neurosurgeon who specializes in identifying the nerve pinching too find it. Neurologists in general are not typically well trained to...

Since I developed tinnitus back in 2016 I noticed a chirping / zapping sound that I can actually feel. Like a small burst of energy going off in my inner ear. I think I know what's causing mine. I am slowly developing HFS (hemifacial spasms) the left side of my face is where my spasms occur and...

How many truckers (CDL) out there have tinnitus? I'm also curious if you wear hearing protection even though it's considered "against the law". I know some states allow you to wear 1 earplug in 1 ear. I have seen (very few) admit to wearing hearing protection (on other forums) the whole time...

Does anyone feel their tinnitus? I have two kinds that I feel a sensation with. 1: One of them is this zapping sound like something being electrically shocked and I feel this shock-wave for a fraction of a second when this happens. Not sure what causes it and it doesn't happen often. 2: The...

For some reason I have experienced the same thing. I was taking melatonin and a certain piercing tone would disappear, in the morning sometimes for up to half a day if not all day.

If you are shooting firearms you should consider doubling up on ear protection (plugs and muffs). I still shoot but I use silencers (I live in a state that lets me own silencers) and i stay away from high caliber ammunition. The damage we do to ours ears is accumulative and can worsen if you do...

I stopped using headphones all together. The more I started thinking about it, I realized it's a very unnatural way for your ears to listen to sounds. Especially since many head phones on the market are noise canceling.

I've was using the lucky laser quite a bit. I notcied some changes, my tinnitus became very thin in my left ear in the mornings, then I stopped using it and the normal piercing T came back. I think the LLLT has an effect on me but only on my left ear (both ears have different tones/frequencies)...

In my job I might have to use chainsaws but most of the time I use a crosscut saw. Today it was super windy and I started thinking is the wind too loud? T is making me paranoid. My advice would be to double up on ear pro also get a helmet equipt with earmuffs. Keep on keep in on...

I was reading around and found some other sites/forums and it seems to be the consensus that Tinnitus always originates from the brain. Has this been scientifically proven and does it have supporting evidence? If someone goes to a concert and ends up suffering from T for like, a month or 2 and...

For the Lucky Laser what are the prefered power setting used? You have two options for both wavelengths 808 nm (W)? (Hz)? 650 nm (mW)? (Hz)?

Head phones, rock concerts, guns are good ways to destroy both your ears. I have T in both ears and I don't feel as if it's in my head at all. My T is literally in my ears and sometimes I can feel/hear this short circut sound inside my left ear.

After I'm done using it, I'm almost guaranteed to have a spike in volume (buzzing) for the rest of the day. Since I have stopped, my T hasn't been spiking. I'm going to start again today.

I will use it 2-3 times a week. sometimes I will use it 10 min straight each ear or I will do 5 min each ear for 15 min total. I hold the flash light with my hand as I'm checking my emails or something. I have never heard changes like this in my T prior to using the flashlight especially that...

I have been using that flashlight (Ilauke, IR-850) and within the time I have been using it, I have been experiencing some crazy sounds and spikes. I have had a low base fleeting T sound I have never heard before come and go. One day the sharp ringing in both my ears seemed to have vanished but...

Lumomeds laser is $3,500 USD. If anyone wanted to know.

I had no idea they were selling anything in Florida. I'm gonna have to give them a call.

For those of us living in the USA here is the run down on obtaining a Lucky Laser. Lulu sent me an email describing the run down. The lucky laser is not FDA approved so the US government will stop it at customs. She has a business partner in America that helps push the product through customs...

Your post should have been deleted and if it was up to me I would have banned you for attacking someone coming to this forum looking for sympathy and help. Shame on you and anyone who liked your post.

It seems that my attempts to buy a lucky laser are in vain. For those of you who bought one of these devices were they difficult to correspond with? I'm still unsure as to the method they use for purchasing.

There have been several people with acoustic trauma that used lllt. Nick.J was one of them. It just depends how badly damaged your inner ear is. Some people have no idea where their T comes from and if it's purely Neurological, then lllt would most likely not help.

I inquired about the Lucky Laser and I was asked if I want the 2 laser probes or the 4 laser probes device. I'm assuming the 4 probes would be for putting behind your ear and inside the ear canal simultaneously? Any advice on this?

Don't ever wear headphones again. Same thing happened to me and I stopped using headphones.

I got the Ilauke flashlight in the mail today. You can adjust the size of the lens by moving the front of the flash light in or out. What I will find awkward is, if I am to try and insure I do not over heat my skin by turning the light off and on for 10 min each ear, it's going to be somewhat...

Thanks for the info Bobby B, really informative. One question; How far away do you approximately place the light from your ear?

Stop wearing head-phones if you have suffered from acoustic trauma. I learned the hard way as well, even if set at a low volume headphones can still do more damage.

I just do not see how anyone with acoustic trauma related T would benefit from this, if it requires that you wear a head-set. I wore a head set once watching a TV show on low and my T increased /changed tone. No way in hell would I consider any type of sound therapy if I have to wear headphones.

I noticed you have not been on here in over a year but I've been reading your posts about your LLLT treatments and the set back. I was wondering how you have progressed with your treatments so far?

I used my headphones to watch a comedy show (so I didn't bother someone trying to sleep), the volume was low and I felt my ears were not bothered. Some time after now, my T has spiked. Almost as bad as when I first got it. I will no longer wear headphone again. I was very much habituating, the T...

I was thinking about how people would deal with their T back in several hundred years ago. I was watching the "Revenant" and those guys were firing flintlock/muzzleloaders and those things explode right next to their ears. The troops during the Revolutionary War and Civil War, the old cowboys...

I developed my T through years of concerts, gaming headphones and guns. I did wear ear plugs at the firing range but I believe they were inadequate. I used to work as a Wilderness Ranger and earlier this year I developed Tinnitus and it just about floored me. Being a Wilderness Ranger, I had to...

How many of you T sufferers still go camping? It used to be part of my job (my way of life) but sleeping at night was almost impossible, because the only thing I could hear was my T. I'm sure my diet played a roll, a lot of salt and sodium in those backcountry diets. My heart will always be in...
