@MisterD Oh and also you may want to join the "UltraQuiet Theraphy" thread, is on this same page of the forum and there are several users talking...

@MisterD As I understand it, I think that is very different from neuromonics as they don't mix the music with the exact, steady tinnitus frequency...

@SoulStation Good to know, at least for the moment I'll focus on learning basic skills with Audacity in case I need it, I'll let the pro stuff...

@SoulStation Are these Audacity plugins or other software? Right now I don't know anything about audio editing, but I could learn if there's need...

@MisterD If what you want is a real sound therapy, there's much better options than neuromonics or trt stuff, those don't lower the volume, they...

@Steve If I remember it correctly, the paper I read said they used music transposed to the 10-20 khz range. Maybe sine waves are not so good, or...

@RoyZ Notched white noise is tested up to 13khz and is supposed to be equally effective in all that range. But there is a formula to calculate...

@RoyZ By what I've read, ACRN is good in that it can even half the volume, but notched white noise could be better, as it gets to 15db reduction....

@jazz As I've always read about RI, you're supposed to get it by listening to white noise for at least 60 seconds at a volume just covering the...

@jazz is right about this, I think. Based in what we know about plasticity of the brain, all the treatments that get volume reduction, like ACRN...

@Robb Maybe it's useful for you to know that eardrum holes are not always that risky. In the recent years I had otitis in both ears, each with a...

@Steve As I read twice the paper, there's still something confusing to me... I understand what sine waves are, but I wonder why the researchers...

@earflappin According to the paper, the stimulus for this therapy is music altered to sound in the 10-20khz range, that is, a whole melody...

When you say pure tones, it means you tried several frequencies with 90bpm? How many hours of RI did you achieved?

@Steve Great! I think it could be important to check the need for customized stimulus in the case of those with very high frequency tones, as the...

@Steve Then would you say is still worthy to try to DIY this treatment? I'm quite interested in trying cheap stuff first. If you or other...

Any new answer? As I read is still possible (or was at some point) to get a CD from them, but I wonder if it's possible to replicate the...

@object16 I think that, although notched music is a big part of the treatment (it remaps auditory cortex), you're getting results from non-notched...

Interesting, I'll get one of those. Nasal steroids use in my case is because I have a kind of rhinitis which is aggravated by all the usual OTC...

@jazz I borrow the idea of steam, I already did it but I guess not that often as you, and I usually started only when mucus make breathing...

@Savin Abram Magnesium can't hurt, but if your tinnitus is caused by ototoxicity, you'll better want to take NAC supplement, at least 600 day,...

I'm all for it! As I understand from the paper, this is another form of lasting RI that works through neuronal plasticity. They say it clearly in...

@nima The biggest danger with T and flu (and ALSO colds), besides the chance the virus could attack inner ear, is precisely that mucus can cause...

For me they bother my T and also they do an strange "echo": the electronic noise keeps "playing" in my head as if it were a new T sound, and it...

The treatment explained in the first part by Dr.Dalton is Dichonics, by what it says it seems that the duration of tinnitus supression does indeed...

I've received another reply today. It seems it could help people with "fluctuating" T or more than one sound as they say, and it also seems like...

Any recent news about this? It sounds good, I'm interested in trying Dichonics or something like this till there is a better treatment in the...

@Steve I've just sent them another mail. I'm more worried to find out if it can be used with "buzzing" sounds (if some kind of matching can be...

I had another reply today, it seems that a frequency match is needed for the treatment to work. This seems to complicate things for those of us...

I'd say if you don't absolutely need them, is better if you slowly stop them. I know about that for experience, some years ago (while I was...

@Street Spirit Alcohol has kind of rebound effect, first it increases GABA, then when the GABA effect starts to fade, there is an increase in the...

Well, at least the fact that it doesn't create new permanent tones is good to know, thanks... I'll also ask some audiologist anyway.

@Hattukoira has it happened for a long time? Does the "echo" subsides after a nigh of sleep at most?

I have kind of the same thing, waking up most days in "almost silence", then it growing to electrical buzz later to high pitched electrical...

Yep, till now it has always died down, in the worst case sometimes it has stucked for hours after being exposed to a tone for longer periods (as...

It's not anxiey, it has happened reliably with everytime I've been exposed to pure tones in certain frequencies, even if I'm relaxed and not...

Based on what I've read in that study, I'd say no. By logic, the RDA is the amount needed in average situations for basic functioning of the...

There's a study that explains hearing damage after noise trauma is due to the prolonged action of oxidative damage in the ear in the 7-10 days...

No one knows? Should I ask an audiologist maybe?

@Champ that's exactly what I think too! That kind of "habituation" I call it resignation and not only that's not for me, I think that shouldn't...

I've just received a mail from them saying Mutebutton will be launched this September in Ireland/UK and soon after in the rest of Europe. They...

As I see it, the main obstacle in the funding, public or private, for a cure is precisely the very idea that almost everyone "habituates", so most...

If I read correctly, you started your therapy after suffering with tinnitus for several years, so it was chronic by then? Did you wear the...

I posted this article that explains niacin plays a role in helping to sweep glutamate excess on the brain, maybe that plus the extra gaba it's...

Hi, I wanted to try notched white noise and I have some doubts (I made a new thread but posted it at "Support" by mistake, so my apologies to mods...

Looking for sound therapies I found one called "Sound Therapy International", the creator says precisely something among that lines, that auditory...

No, although I'm trying to do conscious jaw relaxation during the day, is more easily achieved if you put the tip of the tongue just behind the...

I have TMJ, recently diagnosed, mostly affecting muscles more than articulation. And also I'm having tinnitus that seems related to trigger points...

@object16, I'm glad you're improving! I'm having periodontal treatment done, so I told them I have hyperacusis to get them to use the ultrasound...

That's interesting and I've also read about that study, but the low freq. worked because of residual inhibition and then seems to be temporary (it...

I was the one who was trying this (from generalfuzz site) for one of my tinnitus tones. Well, I was doing it for about 10-15 days, and the...

Well, I think I got confused about the new matching, my tinnitus got worse after one session with that, and the frequency after all seems to...

I'd like to tell all of you how's been going this first week. I'm listening to the tones at least 4 hours each day, a couple of days I've...

Thanks @Steve, that's good to know. After reading your experience, those of others in the other ACR thread, and the observations about safety in...

So when you say you had different sounds at first, that means those new sounds dissapeared later as you followed the treatment? Do you have still...

I've been following the thread and just started to try ACR with the help of the page created by @generalfuzz, and it's working! (Congrats for your...
