Well... I wasn't suicidal until reading the last 4 pages of this thread! Sorry guys, there are no magic flying unicorns, no ghosts, goblins,...
Interesting how those who hold beliefs in supernatural things accuse those who arrive at the conclusion that those things are not real, often...
"Almost as if they were real..."? Not sure what you mean. Demons are mythical creatures and in no way "real" any more than a magical flying...
The tests they do that play loud clicking (I think it can reach 100 dB) directly in your ear for 30+ minutes can definitely make tinnitus worse. I...
Sorry... you lost me. There are no such things as disembodied "entities" that can "attach" themselves to someone. MPD is not supernatural in...
What dosage are you taking? Anything more than 7.5 mg is not indicated for insomnia. With Mirtazapine, the lower the dose, the better it will work...
The "healing" ions are the negative ions. They are not magically released by the earth and absorbed through the skin by standing barefoot in the...
The mind is indeed a very powerful thing. Standing in dirt barefoot... not so much...
You describe it as a high pitch squeal. You should be able to find masking sounds that although they won't make the noise disappear, will cause...
There are websites that sell the audio files but you can make them yourself for free very easily. What it is is just white noise with your...
Mine has seemed to vary in severity. Yesterday was particularly bad but today hasn't been all that bad. I'd recommend trying as many things as you...
If only tinnitus could be cured by being barefoot...
Sure, placebo effect. It's not harmful but it's also not a real treatment. Negative ions are in the air. Standing barefoot in dirt doesn't do...
Not to sound skeptical, but... This sounds no different than healing crystals and other "alternative medicine" which amounts to placebo effect and...
Not sure if that should be a blanket recommendation. THC, Mirtazapine, and Clonazepam have improved my quality of life greatly because of the way...
So here's what I've noticed. I fully accept that it could just be psychological and in my head but it's been subjectively noticeable nonetheless....
The very long half life is precisely what makes Clonazepam safer and less likely to cause tolerance and dependence than other benzos like Xanax....
I'll have to look it up but I think it was around 20 dB.
Once again I have to sing the praises of Clonazepam. After several discussions with my ENT and signing a controlled substance contract he agreed...
Guitar player for close to 35 years playing in very loud rock bands. I have a pretty significant loss at 4 kHz and 8 kHz in my left ear which...
I've had very mild tinnitus for a very long time. It was the kind that was only noticeable in a quiet room. Never bothered me. But the tinnitus...
So I gave it another try. Still nothing positive. Every night I've tried it I've slept very poorly. The noise is annoying to my ears, parts of it...
I am following the protocol to the letter and also using the 1More earbuds which he specified as an alternative to the Koss headphones. I don't...
Honestly, if a psychiatrist told me that I'd run the other way and find a new psychiatrist like yesterday!
So here's my 4 night update. Since Sunday I've been using the 1More earbuds to listen to the sound all night. The results so far are concerning....
At the risk of sounding blunt, your doctor sounds like a quack or just very inexperienced with benzos. Clonazepam is one of the less addictive...
Sooo... another update. I realized that because of the hearing loss in my left ear, if I play Tinnitus Mix at a volume where I can comfortably...
Ok, thanks again for the reply and additional info. I gave up on the Koss headphones but they were only $18 so not a huge loss. I'm sure I'll...
So Friday night I tried sleeping with the Koss headphones on and it was kind of a disaster. I kept waking up because I would turn and then the...
Hopefully this isn't a dumb question but in the event that I can't figure out how to sleep with the headphones or earbuds in, can this work by...
Thanks for the reply. Between the KTX and KS,C do you recommend one over the other? Also, are there any earbuds you're aware of that would...
Not sure if this has been asked already but I can't read through 107 pages. If someone has hearing damage and can't hear above, say, 12 kHz or 13...
So my sleep pattern has changed a bit since I posted here in July. I now have a wide soundbar sitting on my headboard through which I play either...
Earbuds are not good. It is very difficult to accurately gauge the decibels you're injecting directly into your ear. It's easy to overdo it and...
Camping? I wish I could go camping. If I am in any quiet environment all I hear is EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE. Camping would be a nightmare for...
Well shit, that's disappointing and scary to hear about.
Clonazepam has a lower risk for dependence than Xanax precisely because it stays in your system longer and is metabolized more gradually. But...
So... still no explanation of the mechanics behind these claims. Call me skeptical but my background is in Information Technology and other fields...
It's not a matter of not believing people, it's a matter of the likelihood that their conclusions are inaccurate. I'm still waiting for someone to...
Correlation does not equal causation. Many of the people you mention would likely have developed tinnitus without headphone use. There are...
There is no evidence that headphones, in and of themselves, cause or aggravate tinnitus. What matters is the volume.
I've read a lot of things posted by Michael Leigh that sound like unsubstantiated guesswork. When I did research on those claims of his I found...
In case no one has mentioned it yet, I'd consider another psychiatrist. With Mirtazapine, the higher the dose, the less sleepy it will make...
My consciousness disappears when I drink copious amounts of red wine. This makes every ailment I have disappear! Of course, they all come back...
I wouldn't say that benzos are dangerous. I would say that they can be dangerous if used improperly. I have used them on and off for 30+ years and...
The problem with medications that supposedly make tinnitus worse or cause it to begin with is that if you look up lists of ototoxic medications,...
1. Appointment with ENT was yesterday. So far I'd say it was useless, as I expected. He did not want to prescribe Clonazepam even at 0.5 mg a day...
QUVIVIQ is also not sustainable long term. You can build up a tolerance and it can cause dependence. They claim it doesn't cause a physical...
Here's what works for me to be able to sleep. Half dose of Mirtazapine + 5mg THC edible + Melatonin/L-Theanine/Valerian root tablet + an app...
I experience this quite a bit. Sometimes at night when the AC, fans, and white noise machines are on I'll perceive music even though I know there...
I've found that a lot of people have at least a very mild case of tinnitus. It's so mild that they have completely habituated and don't even...
Yes, sort of. When I wear earplugs I perceive my tinnitus to be louder most likely because the normal ambient noise is removed so there is...
I think they are all conditioned to tell anyone with tinnitus "It can't be cured, there's no way to fix it, suck it up and learn to live with it."...
The double protection isn't doing you any favors. IMO, putting earphones over earplugs creates a kind of echo chamber and concentrates the sound...
So my Clonazepam experiment is working relatively well so far. Last night I took 0.5 mg and it reduced the volume by the time I went to sleep. The...
I'd consult a doctor before taking more than 1 mg at a time. It won't harm you but if you take that much in a single dose every day you will...
So here's a very limited anecdote with no statistical significance. Monday night I took 0.5 mg Clonazepam. Tuesday my tinnitus tone was...
Tinnitus CAUSED by caffeine? Doubtful although as I've mentioned in other threads, if you believe everything that turns up in a Google search,...
Not directly related to vasodilators but I've noticed a significant spike in the level of my tinnitus when I work out. Working out increases blood...
Epic fail. Most promising things on the horizon now are Susan Shore's device and Lenire, both of which I have serious skepticism about,...
