Anecdotal, but a close friend told me that during a moderately high dose mushroom experience his tinnitus was gone for the duration (~4 hours). I was there with him while he was experiencing this.

I hear it right now. Doesn't everyone?
I’m not sure how old you are, but can 42 year old me give you some advice? Go get a hearing test. If I would have known about my tinnitus at 22, I would have a noticeably higher quality of life at 42...
Why? What would they do?

#143I have tinnitus because of beta blockers. One I switched treatment and it disappeared, that was a huge relief. Unfortunately, without beta blockers my pulse hovers at 100BPM when sitting, 120BPM when standing and 220BPM after climbing 10 stair-steps. So I have not much choice but live with tinnitus...
Unless you're a chipmunk that's an impressively and worryingly high rate.

#144Do any other long time sufferers experience that it gets louder when tired or stressed? Also, definitely trying this with my electric toothbrush when I get home!

#145I believe the original applications for this device were in vertigo and seasickness, also being trialled to reduce nausea in VR
As far as I can work out the bone-conducted vibrations are simply a white-noise distraction - or as the makers put it 'consistent and non-informative stimulus'

Go to concerts dude! Just wear protection. You can get these plugs designed for music. Just have a backup pair with you as well.
I know this now. The fact that this is needed just further illustrates my point. We first blast music above safe levels and then expect people to compensate for that with hearing protection. That's just insane.
I totally agree my man. Wish you the best in the future.

I regularly go to concerts with earplugs, often it sounds better with them in, especially if the volume is too loud or treble is too high.
Yes! I noticed that too, the sound gets all jumbled up without earplugs. Not to mention the pain and damage.
Re: We ‘may’ have discovered a potential remedy for tinnitus
#148Finding a cure or treatment for tinnitus would be awesome. I have a very mild case from a few too many loud concerts. What I find amazing is how we don't attack the source of the problem much that I can see. Concerts, clubs, fireworks, even movies blast away above any reasonable level, causing damage to large parts of the population. We all just get progressively damaged hearing bit by bit. And yet there's very littl…

What kind of plugs are designed for music? That's interesting.

#149This reminds me of the technique that went viral via Reddit a couple of years ago: https://lifehacker.com/this-weird-trick-might-give-you-brief... I don't suffer from tinnitus, but I know people who do and some of them have said that this helped them.
Trust me, It never helped me. Edit: never knew telling your experiences gets you downvotes.
I have bad tinnitus in both ears and doing the trick works for me, for about 60 seconds. I don't do it often because it makes me sad how much better that 60 seconds feels.

#150I had a ringing for a weekend and found and used this extensively https://github.com/generalfuzz/acrn I remember it being after some loud event. But I honestly can't remember. It went away. But it might not have been tinnitus and just an ear infection. Or it might have helped, I'm just one sample size.
That's quite interesting. worth a shot for people suffering with that for sure.
