I Invented a Sound That Knocked Out My Tinnitus

I don't have any info on that.

 

You are welcome, it is more than a masker over time.

 

You can load 7 copies if you can't loop it and it will play all night.

 

Well in my opinion you should stop everything and just try Tinnitus Mix, if you are doing 3 remedies you will not know which one helped or which one caused a spike. It will only add questions.

 

Yes you are right the Koss KSC-75 does not have control on cord, the KTX-PRO1 are THE best for Tinnitus Mix.

 

Night 13 finished.

 

Can you loop it on the Sony voice recorder?

 

Are the improvements still there?

 

Finished Night 6 - yesterday was a normal, medium-ringing (3/10) AM which built over the course of the day and ended at about a 6 or a 7 /10 by bedtime (standard for me). I slept a solid 8 hours listening to Tinnitus Mix with the Koss headset (which I find easier to sleep in than the Bose). Today has been a generally quiet morning, just a light hiss thus far - tinnitus hasn't been distracting at all in this 27 decibel room. I can't find any tonality in my tinnitus either, which is nice. These days are not particularly rare for me, let's see if it holds.

Hyperacusis has been extremely mild since starting this regimen. I'd say hyperacusis was a 5/10, and now down to a 1/10. I used to be extremely bothered by the iPhone speaker, certain voices, and garden-variety kid screams, but yesterday's Thanksgiving was a test of all of those situations, and it was a completely normal auditory experience.

I have had no spikes from Tinnitus Mix, either - to me this is very safe if kept on a low volume (make your own determinations, of course).

I'm still not sure if Tinnitus Mix is directly helping tinnitus in volume, tone or intensity, but I will continue listening to it at night. Let's see where it goes.

Plus, like lottery, you can't win if you don't play.

 

Yes. I feel great. I'm resisting every urge to go and hop on my drums and see how rusty I've gotten not playing in a year, but I'm still going to wait.

Best part is that music sounds good and normal.

 

When would you feel "safe" enough to do so?

 

After a few months of no symptoms, if I get to that level. Eventually I'm just going to get some good muffs and go anyway. I spent way too much of my life studying music and playing instruments to just throw it all away.

 

@R. David Case

Listen to this and tell you tell me what you think.

 

Sounds like you are on the track to get to no symptoms, especially now that your noise sensitivity has gone. Hoping this forum will be able to see a success story from you soon.

 

Sir, I already have a success story.

 

Sounds like the opening theme to "Roseanne"

 

I've heard that one before from you.

 

The only difficulty is you have been such the trendsetter on treatments... is this residual from S. Korea... or something else.

Keep it up, and good luck.

 

I thought that Sir was a woman or do you call everyone Sir?

I did better today wearing hearing aids all night long. At least they stay on all night. Headphones are difficult to keep on while sleeping for me.

 

I am a woman! haha

Also, I am going to retry this therapy and try to stick it out for the full three weeks.

 

Probably not.
I think taking Turmeric/NAC/Glutathione 3 times a day has been the biggest part of it. I also think Tinnitus Mix is helping too. It could also just be time. Who can say?

 

I did take an allergy med last night. Maybe that helped?

 

@JohnAdams aren't you the person that Lenire made worse?? Does this CD work with reactive tinnitus and/or tinnitus from neck jaw issues?? I'm one of these people that listen to music on cheaper headphones and it doesn't affect my tinnitus. My tinnitus is really only reactive to certain tones or whatever.

 

Yes you can loop it on the Sony.

 

That's great! You show signs that you are on your way to a new life, free and quiet!!

 

No I didn't do Lenire.

 

Night 14. I woke up in the middle of the night with my headphones on the floor and put them back on and went back to sleep.

 

Oops.

 

I’ve been using mine right before the Tinnitus Mix, like literally the second the laser is out of my ear the Tinnitus Mix is in. Have been working my way up to the full sessions with sporadic hour and fifteen minute bursts, which IS NOT WHAT CASE ADVOCATES. However, it is helping acutely, at least. Two out of three times so far I’ve had dramatically diminished tinnitus from an hour and fifteen minute session. My low whirring tone may have even been knocked out for a few moments but I wouldn’t know because I’m trying my damnedest to keep myself and company entertained, if only for the utility of tinnitus distraction and residual healing. But that’s what tinnitus does... pollutes the organic and simple into unrecognizably machinated, strategic decisions.

 

Night 12. Recently I've been sleeping longer hours while listening to Tinnitus Mix, giving it 8 hours or so. The sounds de-stress my mind. I'm trying to get to bed before 10pm and sleep/ listen for as long as I can. I'm not the best sleeper, so I'm taking things like passiflora, taurine or benadryl and alternating them. I feel more detached from the sound of my tinnitus though it is still there and not very much quieter than before.
