Tinnitus Ring!.....................
Thanks. This article reflects my experience.
One of the ‘gifts that keep on giving’ since I had CVD-19. 5 years on, It never goes away.
Eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee...
If I went to sleep every time I felt tired, I might be sleeping 23 hours a day.
But then I wake up after only about four hours sleep, because the neuropathy in both legs gets a little hard to bear.
Still tired after treating it, though. So I once again retire.
A few years ago I was diagnosed with moderate hearing loss at the Massachusetts Eye & Ear Infirmary,a very famous Ear,Nose & Throat Hospital affiliated with Harvard Medical School. I was told that tinnitus...which is what I originally had...was a classic sign of hearing loss.
I didn’t have tinnitus until I took a muscle relaxer that they later withdrew because it was causing heart attacks. It kind of changed my mind about the pharmaceutical industry and doctors.
I am almost amused by how my tinnitus has changed over the years.
It was the high pitched tone for years, and has now evolved to the sound of rushing water.
I can be in the most (I assume) silent place and all I hear is wind noise, static, or white noise.
There is no such thing as silence. It is just there, but at least my sense of sight works well going on 80.
Balderdash!
Sure didn’t “sound” like this research is leading to any treatment.
Simpler explanation I was given, that after hearing loss the brain is filling in the wavelengths of sound it’s no longer receiving from external sources.
Wait - you mean the crickets aren’t real?
Why not just say “sleep” instead of “crucial bodily function”?
As uncle Leo said, “Somebody answer the damn phone!”
There are many forms of tinnitus. I no longer have it but my manifested as an echo. Listening to people wasn’t bad but couldn’t listen to music for several months.

I have mild tinnitus. It comes and goes. Every once in a great while I will hear a phantom knock on the door or my cell phone ringing while sleeping. Weird.
Amazing how EFAs take away tinnitus. Back to my coffee. *sip*
Had it since childhood so have never known anything else. It actually puts me to sleep as it is how I know there is no real noise happening. It does get a bit louder when drinking but recedes once the alcohol wears off.
thanks

Make a gentle (not firm) wad of a piece of Kleenex tissue, and use that to plug the ear. That will dampen/reduce *some* stimulation of the nerves. Kind of allows some relaxation of the sound processing. Takes several months (I did it for 2 years). Esp. when I was driving with the window down. (DISCLAIMER: Does not work for everyone.)
