I've often wondered why sometimes it's worse than others. It's always there. I always hear the ringing, but most times I can ignore it, but there are other times it just seems so much louder. I would like to know what all those triggers are so I can try to avoid them. Some are obvious - real loud noises, heavy exercise, etc, but others not so much.

Mayo Clinic has a long list of causes and triggers:

Interesting. I recently had mine evaluated and they suggested fractal tones (zen tones from widex). Mines stress related and I’m sure plays into my misophonia so I’m excited to learn about this treatment

This and all the comments sound like garbage to me. This is a neurological disease, no amount of nerve stimulation will ever help. I am a sufferer. The older comments here are quite suspicious.

Skepticism is likely warranted, but it reads as if you are suggesting nerves are not related to neurological disease. That’s extra confusing since a neurological disorder affects the nervous system of which nerves are a part.

I wonder if I could lick a 9 volt battery and play back some high frequency tones through my headphones to get a similar effect?

May have similar results as overwriting your bootloader binary with the same number of bytes from /dev/random.

I really wish I had access to this, I have chemotherapy induced tinnitus and it has been mostly unchanged since finishing chemo 5 years ago.

My Oncologist said it would get better over time, and it has, but its still far off from where I was when I started.

I was a heavy cell phone user for several years, I developed tinnitus in my right ear (same ear I would hold the phone to) it thankfully resolved itself when I stopped using mobile phones. Hope this information can help someone.

I've been following tinnitus research and the most promising treatment is FX-322 [1]. It's a drug that will treat hearing loss, but it could also help diminish tinnitus.

It's currently in phase 2a [2] and results come out next year [3].

I have really strong tinnitus either when:

- I did not sleep enough

- I wake up in the middle of my sleep

- I drink a lot of alcohol

- There is a lot of noise arround me

- In few cases it's just random and get stronger for no apparent reasons
