Constant tinnitus: Are there any solutions?

Posted by kimjensch @kimjensch, Jun 14, 2020

It there any solution for constant tinnitis?

I have high pitched tones constantly though I have learned to ignore it mostly.

It can become louder at times, even loud enough to make me wince!

Interested in more discussions like this? Go to the Ear, Nose & Throat (ENT) Support Group.

Lioness, thank you for your post and information! I am sorry you have tinnitus, but glad to hear you've found something to relieve it to a degree. I will buy a bottle for our Pastor! Thank you again. I will pray for you next time I pray for our Pastor!

I have had tinnitus for a long time. Initially it was extremely loud and now it is a soft constant white noise. Heading Aids did not help. I used my mind to “hush” it. I concentrate on the sound and push it down as if to suppress it. Sounds strange I know, but it changed the roaring train. I still do this, especially if I have been in a loud environment. Can’t hurt to try it.

Thank you Kem for helpful information! I'm sorry you have tinnitus but you are strong to keep working on it. I will let Pastor know what you've discovered. Thank you again!

@dksherlock Welcome to Mayo Clinic Connect, a place to give and get support.

Members like @jimmy370 @2beagles @lioness @johnwhite may be able to help you find the information you seek.

May I ask what your pastor has tried so far regarding tinnitus treatment?

A good question Erika and I don't know what he's tried except prayer of course. I want to do some work myself before taking his time. He's had it all his adult life so I'll bet he's been through the mill. I wish there were an outstanding physician somewhere who has had success.

https://hearinghealthfoundation.org/webinar/register There is a webnar on tinnitus on April 19th at 5 PM EDT that is sponsored by the Hearing Health Foundation. HHF is involved in research programs on a variety of issues related to hearing loss.

Attendance at this webinar is open but the number of participants is limited. Here is a brief description of the topic with info about the presenters.

Learn how tinnitus, the experience of hearing sound without an external, acoustic source, can be measured. Measurements can productively inform the counseling process and guide adjustments of hearing aids and tinnitus sound therapy devices. Tinnitus does not present the same for everyone, and measurements illuminate different causes, symptoms, and potential treatments.

Past Emerging Research Grants (ERG) scientist Richard Tyler, Ph.D., is Professor & Director of Audiology in the Departments of Otolaryngology and Communication Sciences and Disorders at the University of Iowa.
The event will be moderated by HHF Board of Directors member Anil Lalwani, M.D., who is based at Columbia University. Lalwani is also the Head of HHF's Council of Scientific Trustees, which oversees the ERG program.

Thanks for info about this webinar, too! Appreciated.

It seems like this is related to the objective measurement of tinnitus paper (see link below), which got quite a bit of attention in the news:

Research paper:
https://journals.lww.com/thehearingjournal/Fulltext/2021/02000/Objective_Tinnitus_Measurement_via_fNIRS_and.9.aspx
Some coverage:

Should be nice to learn what the scientists have to say about where this is headed.
