We need to make a Tinnitus support group. Mine is bad today. What drives me crazy is that there's no answer - weather, stress, whiplash??? I like knowing what the problem is and then getting rid of it.
This ain't going anywhere

Tinnitus is a fucking horrible condition to suffer from, lucky for me and I don't use that L word very often but after I stopped Risperidone I started hearing a white noise sound not constant and not deafening, it comes and goes but I get it every day sometimes for a few hours and sometimes longer but from my new found clean regime I had a bath and I have water trapped in my left ear and whatever I do it won't come out and the tinnitus is constant in that ear, so I have started researching how to improve my condition, firstly I will get my ears cleaned out, syringed, then I decided to read if there are any worthwhile research and treatments and low and behold there seems to be some but costs you £1000's of pounds, then I came a cross this website below with a miracle cure,Woohoo.
PLEASE DO NOT BUY ANYTHING FROM THIS WEBSITE, READ BELOW
www.acouphenol-uk.com
So then I am interested so I continued to read this cure and it's tablet form so lucky for me they listed the ingredients, I have listed them below with a brief description, I googled each name and I will put below what they are and the benefits of using them. Now two of them help you sleep, great, one of them helps with SSRI-induced sexual dysfunction so if I want to be horny all the time and then have a good nights sleep I probably wouldn't even notice my Tinnitus, there is one below that actually mentions it helps so there must have been some clinical trials at some point with a factor it may have helped so rather pay the exorbitant amount of money for all these ingredients, a simple google search displayed numerious very cheap health shops/stores who supply it. I will follow there advise and take 100mg in the morning and evening to see if it improves my Tinnitus. Good luck everyone I hope it improves or cures it but please always do your own research something that works for me may not work for you.
Griffonia simplicifolia is a type of plant found in western parts of Africa. The seeds are used as a medicine because they contain a chemical called 5-hydroxytryptophan (5-HTP). Griffonia simplicifolia seeds are commonly used by mouth for depression, anxiety, weight loss, headaches, and insomnia.
Black Cohosh is most commonly used for menopausal symptoms, including hot flashes (also called hot flushes) and night sweats (together known as vasomotor symptoms), vaginal dryness, heart palpitations, tinnitus , vertigo, sleep disturbances, nervousness, and irritability.
Ginkgo biloba is an herb used to treat altitude sickness (prevention), cerebral vascular insufficiency, cognitive disorders, dementia, dizziness/vertigo, intermittent claudication, macular degeneration/glaucoma, memory loss, premenstrual syndrome, SSRI-induced sexual dysfunction, and as a vasodilator.
Magnesium is a nutrient that the body needs to stay healthy. Magnesium is important for many processes in the body, including regulating muscle and nerve function, blood sugar levels, and blood pressure and making protein, bone, and DNA.
Melatonin is a hormone that occurs naturally in your body. It helps control your sleep patterns. You can take a manmade version of melatonin for short-term sleep problems (insomnia). It makes you fall asleep quicker and less likely to wake up during the night.

I have to have music or a movie running in the background almost every minute I'm awake - it drowns out the ringing and I focus on the music.

Tinnitus can be caused by many different underlying conditions. I suffer from it, but have learned to filter it out so it doesn't usually bother me. Many people with tinnitus eventually find that they are able to do that, but it isn't possible for everyone
This information won't help Susan, but for other people with tinnitus, if you can afford to spend some money the first thing is to get a good ear doctor to give you a thorough examination. Some causes of tinnitus are easily fixed. Others are incurable. (Mine is incurable but, as I said, I can manage it.) Tinnitus is often caused by some kind of damage to your ear or head (as you would probably expect), but it can be caused by things that seem completely unrelated to your hearing, so you can't diagnose the cause yourself.
Depression can make tinnitus worse. And since tinnitus, if bad, is likely to make you depressed, there is an obvious risk of a vicious spiral setting in.

In my country, going to an ENT requires a referral from a GP. I got a referral letter today for an appt with a specialist: at the end of October.
I guess time is money - you have to spend one and save up for the other.

Mine started after a very painful ear infection. Ironically enough I was prescribed an antibiotic for that which commonly causes tinnitis.
When it first started I went to an ear specialist who charged me $300, a lot of money for me at the time, to tell me it was from arthritis in my jaw.
I have a lot of popping in my ears too.

That's American health care for you. I live, as a foreigner, in a small country in Europe. My ear specialist charges either 30 euros or 50 euros, depending on how much of his time I take up. And he really knows what he is doing, and is a nice man too. I heard that he won't take any money at all from people who are very poor. (It's a small town, and word gets around.) I can easily afford to see him once a year, just to get him to check that things aren't deteriorating too badly..
Even at the modest prices he charges, he seems to be comfortably off financially.
The days when the US was the envy of the world are long gone.
In the USA they pay 100 dollars for a cancer drug that costs 2 euro in the EU.
sounds like a nice person. exactly how i used run my business, charge reasonable and not rip people off , know my job and do it well. you get more people and make a lot more money than just charging high prices. i used to do jobs for free aswell sometimes. then i got ill unfortunately!

I don't have evidence to back this up, so take it with a grain of salt, but occasionally when I get a ringing in my ears, which I believe to be tinnitus, I'll listen to tones like tuning forks, and after a while the ringing seems like it's replaced by a whooshing sound, like the sound of airflow, which is much more tolorable. I don't think this will be of use to Susan, maybe to people with less intense symptoms, although I would advise taking a medical approach before relying on my anecdotes.

Where did you find these tuning fork sounds?
I listened to youtube videos which play various sounds and tones and promise to end tinnitus and for a few days it made it 10 times worse. It was horrible. Eventually it went back to it's normal background hiss.
Im pretty sure that some of the youtube videos that claim to 'help' are people using sound frequencies that make it worse not better.as this is where they get there kicks!

Hi fellow tinnitus sufferers,
I've been reading this message board for nearly a year, but finally joined so I could post to this thread and maybe, possibly help someone. I used to suffer from really bad tinnitus (non-stop high-pitched tones coupled with horrific roaring sounds like a loud semi-truck engine running inside my head - horrible almost beyond endurance).
I went through hell on earth trying different meds and seeing different doctors and getting no results. What ended up working for me was seeing a chiropractor. I had misalignments in my neck (and other places down my spine) that I was unaware of which were causing intense pressure in my skull. After seeing a chiropractor for a few months, my tinnitus was reduced by about 75%.
Unfortunately, that still leaves me with a terminal illness and feeling no less suicidal, BUT, if this happens to help any of you.... I wanted to mention it. I never would have thought I could have such an insane level of tinnitus from some neck/spinal issues, but that's exactly what it was.
Please... see a chiropractor if you have loud tinnitus. It may not help you... you may have something else going on, but you might be like me and get some blessed relief in an otherwise miserable existence.
Take care,
Vanilla Balloon

Susan, also make sure you aren't clenching your jaw/chewing your inner cheek/grinding your teeth a lot out of stress. That can cause inflammation to your TMJ joint, which can lead to terrible tinnitus. I wish you the very, very best. I know how hard it is, and how it feels to be trapped in an inescapable prison of noise. *hugs*

Damn, I feel blessed that my tinnitus is minor. I got an ear infection years ago and was too broke to go to the hospital, no insurance, and eventually it went away at the cost of the hearing in my left ear becoming slightly dampened, enough to notice between the left and right ear.
I have tv snow tinnitus with an undercurrent of a high pitch whirrrring sound. If I have absolutely no sound on it gets grating. At least twice a week my hearing will temporarily go out and be replaced with a loud ringing before going back to normal. I almost always have something white-noisish on, like a fan or a sound machine or even a video. I sleep with videos on to stave away nightmares but I found that it also distracts me from the tinnitus enough so I can go the fuck to sleep.
Another method I was given to by a friend was to cover your ears with the palms of your hands and, with your fingertips (index and middle), firmly tap the back of your skull, where the dip of the skull and spine meet, for about 5-10 minutes. It reduces my tinnitus for a while and I don't notice it after that until I have to do it again but I have no idea how or even if it works on people who have loud tinnitus.
