SoundCure Serenade Tinnitus Treatment System

That's interesting that both of you have the same reaction. It's all about finding what works best for you when you look for sounds to give you some relief.

What sounds do you hear that mask your T and feel soothing, without making a tinny sound?

Let's see if we can make something.

 

Hay Steve
I like that random bell melody. Can you make it so it can be downloaded to android phone or computer. Unfortunately my computer knowledge is pretty limited. lol

 

I'll inbox you the 16 minute Mp3 now.

 

Steve
Thanks a lot. I really appreciate you taking the time to send the Mp3. It sounds really good, cant wait to try it on my Mp3 player. Ill let you know if it helps. This is really a great forum. Lots of real nice people on here and the site itself is really well set up. Also lots of valuable information and also very current. Again thank you very much.

I've just recently found something close to what soothes my T is "Drops of Rain Falling on a Pond" off a Gentle Rain album. I purchased an iPod nano today and am planning to download music and sounds. It's really nice of you Steve to help us out on the sounds when you could be doing something more fun.

If you don't mind answering another question off the subject. Have you or anyone else flown. I've been concerned about this since I love to travel. Are there any precautions to take?

 

Part of my fun is working on sounds Linda, I'm happy to help out. Can you link to a sample of the drops of rain sound?

I've flown plenty and it's never had any effect on my T, see https://www.tinnitustalk.com/threads/flying-tinnitus.1001/ for a few other views.

 

Before I blow any more of my hard earned ... anyone know anything about this one

Thanks for the Mp3 random bell melody. I have been playing it more of less nonstop for the last couple of days on my Mp3 player. I can turn it down and put it on in the background and it really does help distract me from the T and because I'm really not listening that closley , I don't even notice it repeats about every 15 min. or so, although sometimes I do start looking for where the bell misic is comming from because I forget I am playing it LOL. I'm really liken this. Thanks again.--Watie

 

@watie glad it helps, it's basically the same principle as the zen device, random tone generation. But instead of costing lots of $'s it's free.

 

Not only is it good to listen to the bell melody but I also realized that I can listen to other music that I like as long as I keep it turned down low. Was kind of afraid to do that before. Yea, the free part is good also.

 

Hi Carlover,
I tried the device and am worse now than before. I was told to listen at low volume the tone I felt more comfortable with which was track 4, level 1. It is a white type noise and I felt comfortable with that because I hardly heard it but didn't hear my T either. The other tracks were uncomfortable. Every time I took off the device my T was horrible a high pitch white noise in my head. I decided not to use it. I'm still having effects from it. Friday I am going to a place in San Francisco where the doctors specialize in T and hope they can help me unwire what the device did to me. I only gave it a week or so but knew it wasn't for me.

 

Hi linda sorry to hear all that ,tough ...........thanks for telling me appreciate it. Hope it calms down for you, I see 5 months in for you horrible isnt it. Good luck,Pete

 

You bet. It's been 3 months and thought I had it controlled until the SoundCure. Hope the people in SF will help since that is all they specialize in is Tinnitus and they are actually doctors.

 

@Linda Marie Hello!

How are you? Has your tinnitus returned to its normal level--before you used SoundCure.

I do know that most new things that stimulate the auditory system will make tinnitus spike. This happened to me when I first tried hearing aids with maskers. (And I have very little hearing loss, but hearing aids are one of the few things recommended for people with tinnitus.) Within a week, my tinnitus calmed down then over time it got softer. Of course, I still have spikes. Right now, I have a cold and tried some Sudafed and I am very loud.

Anyway, I am curious about your experience with SoundCure. I thought about using it because music irritates my tinnitus ear so I can't do Neuromonics.

 

Maybe it has lowered a bit. I have better days and not so good days. I didn't care for the SoundCare. Didn't like the frequency it produced and didn't feel any relief when using it. It may work for others. I'm trying to habituate on my own. It isn't easy but they do say it gets better and easier. I try to keep my days busy. Let me know what you decide to do and stay in touch.

 

Thank you! I will keep in touch. All these sound therapies seem to change people's tones. And many--rightfully--get pretty upset because the change is often negative. I just wonder if over time the tone will change again to something lighter and more pleasant.

It's such a hard call. You don't know what to do, and you're afraid of getting worse!

 

I'm trying hard to habituate on my own. Many that have had their T for years say it gets better and easier.
I use an ipod and still need to listen to music to ease my high pitch. Everyday I try and not use it for a bit hoping I will get used to my T and have it fall in the background as many say happens. I've heard it gets better and easier.

 

Great site here, almost made a appointment for the SoundCure until I saw some of the posts on here. Not going to waste my money now. Had ENT appt last night and he said the tinnitus is being caused by hearing loss. No kidding! I then said "actually, the tinnitus is CAUSING the hearing loss".

He said n0t much I can do but suggested that, if needed, he can prescribe meds if I asked for it and also mentioned that if my hearing loss and tinnitus got really bad, that zen hearing aids were way to go. He showed me the site for some samples:

It's nice tones but repetitive with it being samples only. Anyone ever use it?

 

At one of our local audiology clinic the price of this unit is $1995 dollars! 1000 goes into the business pocket and the rest goes to company who manufacture the device. The government is going to buy mine and I will keep you guys informed on how it works or if it does work at all.

 

Yes, please do that! We really need more treatment reviews from actual patients on the board.

 

Hi Cowdodge,

could you test the sound cure? Did it work?

 

I finally got the the government approval for the Sound Cure system plus a set of Windex Zen hearing aids. It has taken almost three months to get this far and this coming week my audiologist is going to order both items for me. We have a plan and that is to use the Zens during the day and then the sound cure system at night. I feel as though I'm becoming a robot but hay if it works or just brings down the noise than it will be well worth the time. I will keep everyone here notified of how I'm doing and with gods help It will settle back down to where it has been for the past 15 years. I'm so lucky to have an angel for my audiologist and she truly is. Very patient and very nice to work with. Her name is Doctor Henderson and her office is in Port Orchard Washington. Oh yes and will be glad to get oft of some of the meds that I have been taking for the anxiety

 

Oh yes and it will work as I have a positive attitude!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

Cowdodge,
You said you finally got approval for Sound Cure thru the government. Is this thru the Vet. Administration. I know the Vet. Adm. is offering S. Cure to vets now but I am so pissed off with the current mess within the administration that I have not tried.

 

Today is the first day I get my Sound Cure devices and a new set of Zen hearing aids. My Doctor wants me to use the Zens during the day and then at night use the Sound Cure instrument. So oft I go into the world of sound theraphy and we shall see what happens. This morning my t's sound like a jet plane and so that will be a good place to start oft at.

 

Re tomatis method ,bought 3 different sets of the cds played 6 hours a day for exactly a year ,did not touch my T in any way shape or form' (sound therapy int australia)

Re ACN bought that from their harley st clinic played every day for the correct correct time (3 hrs if i remember) for exactly one year (after I had done the Tomatis the previous year).......waste of time effort and money.

There is nothing out there that works folks ,and one day I will accept that,
