Tinnitus Ring!.....................
The hearing aids really help.
If I wear them, it goes away. Otherwise, it sounds like I am in a machine shop
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 wear them, it goes away. Otherwise, it sounds like I am in a machine shop”””
I should try hearing aids. For many years I have it bad in both ears. Sounds like cicadas.
I was looking for a punch line in the article. Something that would help me better manage my tinnitus. But I didn’t see it.
The current literature on getting older suggests that something like a casein protein before bed is helpful. I use micelular casein, plus creatine plus L citriline. That seems to help my sleep a lot. But I still have the tinnitus.
I called the Tinnitus Hot Line 800 Number once. Nobody answered, it just kept ringing...
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.
Ditto.
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!
....and you said,”What?”......................
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?
It’s the audio equivalent of a ‘ghost limb’ that amputees experience. The nerve endings that connect to the brain are still active and the brain interprets these signals as a limb. Same with the audio nerves..............
