#312Ok, you're not going to like this one.
My friend with tinnitus don't usually smoke but whenever she has tinnitus, it's always before going to sleep and smoking a cigarette reliably makes it go away. It's not great but then she is able to sleep.
She suspects it's psychological as it generally happens during stressful times. She also says that e-cigarette don't work for her.

#314Yes. I stopped eating refined sugar and drinking any alcohol and my 90% hearing loss in one ear + tinnitus has gone away in about 3-4 months. I was suffering with it for years. I also had all mercury fillings removed by a specialist with the correct equipment and procedures.
Did you still consume artificial sweeteners?

#315The only resource on the internet to read/discuss it. http://tinnitustalk.com Everything else is full of people saying they are going to go crazy. My opinion is to approach it that it cannot be cured and is a part of life. I got it around 2016, unknown reasons why, at the time my hearing tested normal for my age. Have seen doctors over the years and while I know its potentially a symptom of something else, I don't kn…
The 2nd only resource on the Internet is https://www.tinnitustreatmentreport.com/
You can find ways to participate in clinical trials, and therefore be a small part of the eventual solution.

#316My spouse is an audiologist who specializes in Tinnitus. From what I have learned from her, there is no cure, only ways to treat it to make it more manageable.
Working with an audiologist who has been through the Tinnitus Care Provider program [1] is probably your best bet.

Citations? I remember the prescriptions and Doctors' notes for the diet itself. He had to endure through IV drug treatments at home, was not able to sleep for 17 days because of the given drugs. I remember cooking everything without salt (then buying reduced sodium salt for some time because he missed the taste of it to a certain degree), stop buying sparkling water, how my father tried to cope with the remaining tin…
Could you elaborate on the sparkling drinks? Do you know of a rationale?
I think because of the level of sodium they contain

Thanks. I looked that up and some Dutch site claims a can of coke light might contain 35-40mg of Sodium(Natrium) of a daily budget of 1500mg.

Amen to always having good ear plugs. I tried many including the Eargasms and never found a comfortable fit. So I got molds and custom ear plugs from Westone. They are so comfortable and high quality they often improve the quality of the music at a concert. My only regret is not getting great ear plugs sooner, as I recently developed mild tinnitus from DJing and going to lots of clubs and concerts. The good news is t…
Yeah, the eargasm ones do get a bit itchy and warm after a while. I’ll check out the ones with custom molds. Thanks for the suggestion.
I've had success with earasers, coming from the itchiness of eargasms.

#320I hope this comment reaches anyone suffering from tinnitus. My tinnitus is so bad that I’d … well good news is, I found a great way to manage my brain melting tinnitus. Step 1: YouTube-dl this blessed sound: https://youtu.be/8indTo2ykPw?si=izyTOg4gYvnfsqZs (Plz tip the guy) (You should be able to tell just by listening to the sound that it immediately cuts out the tinnitus— if this sound print doesn’t work for you, t…
That's a very pleasant noise. It doesn't make my tinnitus go away though.
