tinnitus treatment?

[alchemysa]

I have tinnitus too. I think you can get, somewhat, desensitized to it also.
Oh, and.......


I'm sure you know, in the US...not many folk use that definition anymore!

Ouch ..... fixed!

I remember as a child my Mother referring to a cigarette as a fag. She was a Welsh girl who came to the US after the war..

My how times change...LOL

I was told Ginko Baloba works, it may for some but it hasn't for me.

Works well for me, the wife, and my best friend.

Some might be interested in TNT (Tinnitus Retraining Therapy)

I never heard of that but will have to do more reading about it.

I just love the differences between Aussie/Brit slang and US slang.

The best line by an anonymous Aussie I've ever heard comparing our two countries is, "Thank God we got the criminals, because you (USA) got the Puritans."

That Aussie is one wise person.

Beer seems to work for me for tinnitus....a few helps me sleep but not enought to get a hangover ...a fine line !

A friend of mine says their 13 year old kid has it now...It's a horrible thing without being a child and having to deal with it !

Maybe, but he's Australian and that's still a pretty common term for a cigaret in the UK and it's former commonwealths.
Anyway, that slang actually comes from the word "faggot" which is a twig or branch...still in fairly common use.

That works for me too...

Using hearing protection really has knocked mine down to the point where it's amost gone..Doctor told me to not even open the windows on the car while driving, that can irritate the condition..Found that to be true as well.

I have to back through this post. I bought something for a bunch of money and it did not do anything. It involved going to the heath food store and buying various products. If I can find the file I would gladly share with you.

Sadly I think most stuff at the health food store is the modern day equivalent of snake oil.

I guess I'll add my two cents, it may give someone a little hope out there.

In my earlier days I was an EE dedicated to high end audio. Built my first tube amp at age 13. Fast forward twenty years and I was at the top of the game, designing some of the highest quality and loudest systems out there. You can see where that is leading to. In the same time frame, a few exposures to 105mm jeep-mounted cannons in the Army didn't do my ears any good either.

15 years ago I woke up and my right ear was chirping like a bird on steroids. Sort of like a high speed Morse code, if you will. Visits to Audiologists, brain specialists, etc. only reinforced what I already knew, this was here to stay. I set about doing intensive research, exhausting all resources. It sunk in after a short time that there were no silver bullets. Finally, I had to accept it and live with it. The first 8 months or so was not easy but afterwards it melded with the brain and became a part of normal living. Just had a few birds inside my head was all.

Ten years slide by and one day I realized that the chirping was gone. I tried to call it up. If I could hear it, everything would be normal. I almost wanted to hear it, if you can believe that. It occurred to me that it had been a while since I last heard it. It had gone away completely on its own, unnoticed. I wish there were something I did that I could relate to others here to try out and maybe help them but it went away spontaneously.

That was five years ago. At 61, I feel very lucky and not a single day goes by without thinking about it at some level. I wear ear protection for everything. Sometimes I get mad when I go to the movie theater and they have the volume up so loud it will cause ear damage no matter who you are. Should be a law...

The gist of the story is: If you have it, it may not ever go away, but on the other hand....

Might not want to quote them (including their link) when reporting it...

Yes, and it would be SO MUCH less work for the moderators if, when you report something, you do not reply to it in the thread.

Good for you that it went away, I am happy to hear a good report on tinnitus. For most people who suffer from tinnitus, it will not go away, there is no cure and there are no "magic solutions." Don't fall for any of the sales pitches as they are only gimmicks.

The good news is that you can learn to live with it, but it takes some time.

Sure would be nice to find an answer, something that worked.

The wife and I stay away from the movie theaters because of this, it is ridiculous how loud they can run those systems.

 

[PILOON]

Interesting, I also haven't heard the chirps for some time, that or I am completely accustomed to it by now.
I do find that when very tired the chirps are more intense or perhaps more obvious.
