Hi everyone. I've had tinnitus since 1984, I'm 68 this year, coming up 30 years with T. I self-inflicted by years of driving open tractors and...

May be because it's quiet when we wake up and that's when T kicks in more - same thing happens to me because I have always liked to sit quietly at...

Yes Martin about fifteen years ago, Neuromonics - it was expensive but there was no counselling, just a music player with classical tracks,...

I agree with you earsnothappy and Marton69 - I cannot ignore my T because it is loud, intrusive, and it is there always - TV, conversation, if I...

Thanks for this thread chronicburn - amazing how similar most of our symptoms are. I started the neck stretches several weeks ago following...

Yes Ladydi and RichL - the program I paid for only ran for six months, and the machine stopped working before the end of it. I was so sick of...

@derpytia I feel for you and can't add anything to what has already been written so eloquently by others. I know where you're coming from - but...

Deb I have white and a higher pitch in both ears. Recently had treatment from a Chiro who does my neck alignments and the T was worse after - he...

Years driving an open-cab tractor and a .243 rifle often, stupidly not using earplugs. Got me for life and serves me I guess.

Dr Nagler, I recently heard a radio interview with a neurologist or surgeon who is conducting treatment of stroke victims with something I think...
