    Severe Tinnitus Spike After Car Ride and Struggling to Cope

    Are you thinking the car engine's low frequencies were to blame for the spike? Car/vehicle low frequencies are tricky, as you mention, sometimes overprotecting is worse, as you trap all the vibration in your ears. I've made that mistake myself a number of times. Overall, I don't imagine 10...

    Can Yokukansan Make Tinnitus Better?

    Hi guys. This is my first time posting here, but I was inspired by this thread and got some YKS myself — this one. I haven't noticed any improvements yet. I noticed nobody else mentioned this brand of YKS, but they should all do a similar thing, right?
