Hi all, it’s been a while. Decided to see if there’s any talk about doxepin here. I started to try these for improving sleep and my T seemed to...
Hi all. I am back just for a while and decided to recommend the Muse. I started to learn meditation about two months ago. First I used Headspace...
Hi all. I decided to log in after a loooong break to see if these have been already discussed. Seems they have.
If I said that, I stand corrected! I do listen to headphones, but I keep the volume low and take breaks. Very important.
Yeah. It’s somatic all right. I researched this quite a bit back in the days - and posted A LOT about this. This latest development with Susan...
No, I could mask it for example with the rain sound or music. My T is on left ear, around 8-9KHz, constant sound, which modulates when I move my...
@MeBeSurfer, I understand what you mean. It is of course very normal, and human, to search for information about new health issues like T and many...
Disagree or not, this remains my story :)
Hi all It can get better, even though it was almost IMPOSSIBLE to think so, when I got tinnitus and fell down into the spiral of anxiety and...
Sennheiser HD 700 audiophile grade headphones, which I listened once for two long and too loud... :(
My son was born. It also quieted down my T to all time low for 1-2 months. For real!

I experience and view habituation as not noticing your T even though it's still there. The volume stays the same. You most likely have brief...
I wish I would have done these things in the first days: - LEAVE THIS SITE! - DO NOT RESEARCH T IN THE INTERNET - Do all sorts of nice things you...
Yes, experimenting here a bit. Still at level 4... :)
In my experience, you don't hear your T unless you start to search and listen to it. Majjor difference.
I just bought a new gfx card and installed the new DOOM. Last time I played with my PC was with Half Life 2. Have to say that DOOM is not bad at...
^ good point regarding listening to music. I do wonder however, if 100% habituation means that the brain 'corrects' the sensation of music...
They are most likely not here anymore. I would also classify habituation as cured.
You seem to be taking WAAAAY TOO MUCH mirtazapine if you use it only for sleep. Mirtazapine works best for sleep with real small doses. I for...
This is the path to habituation -> you feel better, forget TT etc first for a minute, then an hour, then a whole day and so on. These periods last...
Both, on and off. I have been too lazy to REALLY work on my posture and my neck / shoulder issues have actually gotten worse recently. Youtube is...
No cure, but improvement yes. If my neck has problems -> my T is louder and vice versa.
Altitude changes can be explained with pressure changes in the ear, but that's about it - all other explanations are most likely just voodoo science.
I personally think this is a wrong line of thought for three reasons: 1. We should live our lives normally and don't let T set the rules and...
Wise words. For more inspiration towards this, I highly recommend this book: FU*K IT - The Ultimate Spiritual Guide...
Horrible mistake
I have been thinking about trying this as well. The approach makes sense to me. Now I am tempted to finally try. Thanks for sharing!
^ because ultimatelly we choose if T makes us sad or not. It really is as simple as that. Hard? Yes.
No it can't
No offense, but this is pure snake oil woodoo science... :)
You start with ten seconds, then one minute, ten minutes and so on. It's hard but possible. Look into mindfulness.
~10KHz in my T ear and ~11KHz other, 40 years
I have tried it a couple of times just for insomia, ~4mg before bed time. It does help me to sleep better, especially prolongs sleep, but the next...
Not here, but that discovery sounds VERY promising for you!
Where are the experiments that sun rays don't cause or worsen T?
This pic pretty much sums this discussion up ;) [ATTACH]
Total rubbish. WiFi does not cause or affect tinnitus.
Go for it!
I tried it once and it felt waaaaay too soft -> i.e. nothing really was done at all, just some caressing of the head and neck. :) I recommend good...
Find a thread 'back to silence' and read it
Blackberry???! :D
Various exercises and attempts of being aware of my posture. I suggest you visit a good physiotherapist who can give you proper guidance and...
Lets put it this way - if you don't get enough vitamin D for example during winters in the northern hemisphere, you can get all sorts of...
Nothing. Nobody would know about it for sure. :)
I wonder, should we investigate using the Apple ResearchKit for starting to really collect clinical grade data about tinnitus...?
Somatic tinnitus seems to be very common. Stress, anxiety and depression also seem to be very common pre-conditions to tinnitus. @Steve, what was...
Amen!
@zombiechick is this your first child?
My prediction is that when you give birth to your baby, your T will decrease A LOT due to a storm of all positive neurochemicals like oxytocin...
Excellent! How about some quick Periscope sessions with the pros? Please also collect Twitter names of all the people you can so we can make for...
This is my favourite. I play it via iPad speakers in the bedroom. Perfect for me! https://rain.simplynoise.com/
Hard to say, high pitch around 10Khz +/- something
- Don't use noise cancelling headphones, since they can cause nausea due to stimulation in the inner ear. You can google studies about this. -...
T on left and mainly sleep on the right side. When I sleep on my left side, I obviously hear the T louder first, but then it quiets down a bit...
Probably not. Most people who are here are new T sufferers seeking for help and comfort. Vast majority of people with T carry on with their lives...
The less you think and worry about T in the first days the better -> the less your brain 'learns' to associate T to worry and distress -> you will...
Well you use a microphone and a suitable PC software to scan the ambient sounds in your home and see if there are any high frequencies...
Yes... books. I have more or less stopped reading books, which is a bit of a bummer. However, I might try again and just put my rain sounds into...
Or... if you accept T and example a temporary spike, just keep enjoying coffee. And then there is also the strategy of finding new pleasures in...
