Do Computers Make Tinnitus Worse?

I haven't had to reach for the benzo bottle in months either Michael. Been gutting out any moderate levels of tinnitus. A pretty low day today. Yipeee!! Tomorrow? I would bet nothing on what it will be....more mercurial than a change in weather.

 

I mean no ill toward the poster in question. I find humor in his posts honestly. I mean it gives trolling even a bad rap.
He actually made some absurd allegations about tinnitus in terms of blood sugar, diet and other things which have no foundation. But generally he trolls away and is disarmingly hapless in his approach. How's that?

 

When the person in question breezed in here the other day and started shouting from the hilltops, that he devised a treatment that was going to help people with their tinnitus, and that he was going to be submitting an article. I thought, WoW. Little did I know it was just hot air..lol Guess it's true what they say Stophiss: empty cans make the most noise...

 

@Michael Leigh Maybe try to use your laptop with earmuffs of foam earplugs: if your T still increases it means that you have EMF but if it doesn't it means that's the very high frequencies emitted by the computer electronics that make your T louder.

Your Samsung tablet, although it emits way less EMF than your laptop, doesn't make any very high pitch noise either.

 

Thanks for your suggestion @VRZ78 Tried using foam earplugs years ago made no difference. Tinnitus increased to very high levels after 2008 when it got worse due to noise exposure.
Thanks again
Michael

 

@Samir

I game alot and it doesn't affect my t , its a very good distraction!

 

if you're suffering from energy disregulation, I've got some reiki crystals I can sell you for $3000.

 

that said, I'd be lying if I didn't admit that getting away from EMFs is one of the many reasons I moved out of the city. It's a pretty small one, but it's there...

 

I was wondering after reading through this topic if those who grew up without computers verses those who have always had computers have any difference regarding tinnitus and tinnitus severity.

I have severe intrusive tinnitus. Sometimes at night it can knock me out of bed. After so many years though I have learned to deal with this.

The only concern for me is turning off all devices by 8 pm to sort of calm my mind. No I Phone. No computer. We will watch television and I should mention we had to disconnect our surround sound (drove my tinnitus nuts).

 

That's exactly what my tinnitus sounded like also. I still have it just a little bit.

 

I got mine from the modern electric fans ( completely new technology ) in the Delphi satellite radio in my 2013 GMC Sierra truck.

GM Bulletin #PIT5166C High Pitch sound from Dash


I suspect 1,000s and 1,000s of people got their Tinnitus from that.

It was in several 2012 and 2013 GM vehicles. Including their half ton truck ! ( Silverado and Sierra best selling truck only next to the Ford F-150

 

All electrical devices and electric wiring generates sub-infrared light, this is what affects one not necessarily the electromagnetic field. This light is measurable, and the effects of it on life are measurable.

Also, infrasound is generated—one needs special equipment to measure it.

 

iMacs don’t put out much noise, at least in the audible frequencies. EMF emissions I am not sure about, but you could look these on the internet I’m sure. PCs with the old 1990s style tower combo seem to put out a lot more noise due to their fans. I’ve never had any issues and I also am on a Mac all day. But sedentary sitting hour after hour and poor posture seem to be more likely culprits to me. Also staring at a bright screen containing a lot of blue light is going to have effects too, at least on quality of sleep.

 

I think you are spot on. For me it has to be neck / jaw neck related. A lifetime of neck problems ( drafting as an Architect ) resulted in T and H after a dental visit. I hate them both
and nothing helps - which is frustrating
