We want to try this with my dad. He has tinnitus for around 5 years, it started after an ear infection.
It works the same way as the method in obobbobo's comment.
It's FDA approved!
Ask HN: Has anyone gotten complete, permanent relief from tinnitus?

#52Earlier quoted context omitted.
Did you have flu symptoms after the vaccine? How often do you usually get ill?
I recall some fatigue and maybe light muscle soreness or something like that, but pretty mild symptoms overall. I’d say I get a bad cold once or twice a year and rarely experience anything more severe than that.
I wondered if the vaccine flu symptoms might've created congestion in your middle ear but sounds like it didn't.
Perhaps you could do an experiment on yourself with the supplement to figure out if it's really having an effect or just placebo.

#53I had this for months when I stopped taking benzos. I remember it made all the music I loved sound out of pitch and awful. It kind of makes you feel out of touch with the world too when you're getting this weird distorted version of it. All I can say is I hope you can learn some good coping strategies. I don't have this symptom any more but I sympathize.

#54I had a period of bacterial imbalance in my gut caused by Plastocystis Hominis. At it's worst, I got periods of tinnitus. After being cured, took a year to find the cause, the tinnitus also disappeared. Worth checking out the bacterial balance in the gut and trying some probiotics.

#55I had tinnitus for a while, and tried a few things that didn't work but this thomping technique I found on reddit one day stops it, and I just do it every couple of days and it disappears for a while. Not permanent but whenever it bothers me now I just do this thumping and it disappears in a few seconds: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2yDCox-qKbk
Weird. I tried it and didn't get much effect, but it's interesting to see so many positive comments on it. I'll try it some more over the next couple days.

#56My tinnitus is there pretty much all of the time, and then for an hour or so it will disappear.
Over the last year or so I've developed really bad hyperacusis, this coupled with misophonia had made me severely suicidal, I even contacted the local mental health services and autism charities.
I've reduced that by wearing coloured lenses, I had been diagnosed with irlen but I see it as a little bit woo, however the coloured lenses have really worked.
My theory - I have a sensory fuck-it-bucket - I'm bombarded by all this crap every day, and if it overflows I'm under real stress, by reducing overload from other senses my bucket fills much slower, and the sound and tinnitus doesn't seem to affect me so much.
Strange to think that a £16 pair of cheap glasses has saved me.

I'd heard about this. Their studies seem to have mixed results, and there's mixed anecdotal evidence on /r/tinnitus at best. I looked into it, there's a clinic near me that offers it, but it's $5000!
My tinnitus isn't so bad that I feel compelled to drop 5g on fixing it, but I think their idea seems promising and I hope they continue to research it and find new ways to treat it.
Re: Ask HN: Has anyone gotten complete, permanent relief from tinnitus?
#58Not yet. I have absolutely insane tinnitus -- crazy high pitched, can hear it over any sound, too many tones to count. Also have hyperacusis but that's another topic. In any case, historically I've paid a lot of attention to this space. Perhaps the most notable attempt at a cure was Frequency Therapeutics, whose efforts were promising, but unfortunately didn't pan out. There's a constant churn of biotech companies tr…
Good advice. I've had it for a few years now and mostly learned early on that the best strategy is to just try to live your life and not pay too much attention to it. Occasionally I hear about some "therapies" though and I figured trying to ask the community and specifically asking about "full relief" would be the best way to know for sure if I was leaving anything on the table.
I read about the Frequency Therapeutics stuff, and saw the initial promise and subsequent disappointment. Oh well, maybe next year :)

#59Aspirin can cause tinnitus, so stopping it, especially if you take a lot or regularly, can make tinnitus disappear. There are a variety of other drugs that can also cause it:

Re: Ask HN: Has anyone gotten complete, permanent relief from tinnitus?
#60I'm a physician with lifelong bilateral tinnitus. Multiple pitches, quite loud, and acutely worse on the right side for the last 1.5 years or so (with some slight hearing loss). I've spent a lot of time on PubMed, but so far I've not found anything that helps mine, even partially or temporarily. I've consulted with close friends that have significant expertise is relevant fields, which has not been fruitful. Thankful…
> but can really be maddening when trying to fall asleep does white noise help?..
Again a different person but my tinnitus souds like white noise - but at a different pitch so not much use.
Unless I put the white noise very loud to drwon out tinnitus which is not a good thing to do.
