Every morning I wake up and I listen. I hear my tinnitus. It is not a loud high frequency but it is there. In fact, as I sit listening to a podcast I can hear the same ringing. It has been about 11 years. October 2008 is when it became my daily companion. It does… Read More »
My journey with tinnitus has been a long one. I still truly believe I will cure myself. I believe that the source of the tinnitus is in my brain. Maybe, the original cause was loss of hearing or trauma, but after 10 years and much research, I am convinced that my tinnitus is a condition… Read More »

Since my last post, I have noticed something very different about my relationship with tinnitus. I am almost ignoring it now. I still hear it but I have not been trying to focus on it. I do not mean I don’t notice when it changes, but it is just there. However, I have noticed it… Read More »
It seems like my hearing is getting a little worse. I am not really sure though. I take taurine and the oral probiotics daily. I also wear my night guard regularly.

Today I am trying to see if acupuncture will help my tinnitus. It is called auriculotherapy. Here you can see the beads applied to key points. I will cure myself. Update. I did not notice any effect from the acupuncture beads in my ear.
It has been awhile since I updated on my progress. I continue to take taurine and astralagus. I have been focused on other things so I have not been consistently meditating on the tinnitus. I have started to wear my hearing aids at work as I have problems with the white noise. I seem to… Read More »
If my tinnitus was some made up noise due to the lack of stimulating from hearing loss, I doubt the pattern and level of ringing I hear would vary. Also, I have to give more credit to my brain. It is not stupid. What I mean is the body knows when something does not make… Read More »
I use meditation to help understand my tinnitus and relax. I am working on a program to help people meditate. I have read articles saying that meditation does not actually help cure the tinnitus. I cannot say I believe that. The type of meditation I practice is a very deep meditation. It takes endurance and… Read More »
I will cure myself. This is my mantra. I state this not only as a fact but a direction, an attitude. Sometimes I feel like I am improving and then I start feeling like I am not. Those moments can make me think about just giving up and drifting. I mean just putting up with… Read More »
