This is a posting I made on a forum. I have had tinnitus for about 7 years now. I also have increased hearing loss. I am not sure what caused my tinnitus…the doctor said it was caused most likely by exposure many years ago when I was in the service. I had one experience where… Read More »
I notice that sometimes I can hear the beep of the microwave clearly and at other times it is muffled. I find this very interesting. What is causing me to be able to be able to hear high frequency sounds better or worse? What makes my tinnitus more pronounced and at other times less? I… Read More »
I have been taking 1 g of taurine every day. I sometimes take 2 g. I have not noticed an improvement in my tinnitus. My hearing does not seem to be any better and sometimes I wonder if it is worse. However I also have stopped meditating deeply. I think the meditation helped manage tinnitus.… Read More »
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 »
I started to take astralagus daily to see the effect on my tinnitus. I have been taking it for about a week. Yesterday my tinnitus was very low the whole day. I woke up feeling like I had clenched the back of my jaw but I am not sure. This is the only observation I… Read More »
Sitting on train doing my tinnitus meditation. Heard conductor on speaker. I opened my eyes and realize my tinnitus was almost completely gone. I could not hear it. Looked around. Like wow. So this is what it is like. Someone looked at me as I must have had a strange expression on my face. Now.… Read More »
I feel like my tinnitus is changing. This morning it was barely audible in one ear. I can hear it now in both ears but it does not bother me. I do not wear my hearing aids. I find that environments with background noise are hard to hear in. White noise like in an office… Read More »
Still noisy. But I think my general hearing had improved. I notice if I cover my ears I hear voices better. I think it is because it reduces the background noise.
I am onto something big. I am developing a technique of meditation that is I believe helping my tinnitus and overall hearing. I also take Taurine and continue with ALA and Gingko Biloba although I do not think pthe latter two are helping my tinnitus at this stage. I take ALA mainly for glucose management.… 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 restated Gingko Biloba today. 120 mg. I restarted to see if it will affect my glucose levels. Also i used to only take 80 mg and want to see if the higher dose has an effect. I have not noticed an effect on the past on the ringing from Gingko Biloba. Overall my ringing… 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 »
This is a video about tinnitus and how it affects our veterans, the causes, the research and how people cope. Much of what is in this video is similar to what I believe is going on and how I manage my own tinnitus journey. I am also a veteran and I will never give up… Read More »
I have had tinnitus since 2008. I have studied it very closely. I have a front row seat…in my own Tinnitus Research. Without a doubt, I will cure myself. I have tried a number of remedies including meditation, craniosacral therapy, ginkgo biloba, coq10, b12, stretching, baroque music, thumping the back of my head with light… Read More »
