I would like to share my experience. I have had tinnitus for 8 months
and I don't know why it started around Christmas time. It would vary
in loudness but was always there. I've always had a little bit of
ringing but so mild that it was inaudible if there was any ambient
sound at all. I usually only heard it when I went to bed and then only
if I listened for it. After my T ramped up and stayed there I tried
all the usual stuff but it seemed to be getting worse and it was
distressing and depressing, going to bed with it and waking up with
it.
A few days ago I got so fed up with not being able to sleep from it
that I decided to start from scratch and not use anything to see if it
would help. No medicines, no makeup, no lotions, no jewelry, nothing,
no dairy no coffee, etc. I went and had a chiropractic adjustment to
my neck and a massage. My tinnitus was the same after those
treatments. I went home to try a n application, the tinnitus tamer
that I had downloaded the night before after being up all night
listening to the ringing. I found this searching the net for tinnitus
sounds as I had read about neuromonics and thought I could do
something like that myself, record these sounds and play them back to
myself. That program seems to help some people but is expensive.
After I used the tinnitus tamer, I noticed an immediate dropping in
the loudness of my tinnitus. I couldn't believe it and wondered if it
had something to do with the massage, the chiro and all the other
stuff I did or didn't do. I used it again the next day and now my T is
down to what it was before, barely noticable. I am soooo relieved that
I just want to share this with other people. I have no interest in the
tamer program. It's free for 14 days, so I had nothing to lose. All I
did was put headphones on, not even the big ones they recommend but
little ear buds. I used the number 1 preset program. I did adjust the
high frequency tone to more match the ringing I have and that's it. I
hope the T doesn't come back but I feel like I have something now that
will help. I think I have T that's has to do more with congestion as
when I get up in the morning the T is more noticable and then goes
down a little after I start moving around. This morning my T was
slightly up, but not like it was before. I used the Tinn Tamer again
and can notice that the volume goes down. Matching the pitch of my T
seems to help the most. When I put it on a sweep tone it almost feels
like an ear massage which I like. I just wanted to share this. It's
nice to know that my T can go away, I was beginning to get really down
thinking it might be permanent. Just knowing it can go back to
"normal" has given me a lot of hope. I'm going to start adding
things back into my routine one at a time and see what happens. Maybe
there is something that congests my ears and staying off of it is
really what is helping. I can't say for sure at this point. But I
can't deny the drop in volume when I use that program so wanted to
share this.
