Tinnitis

Posted by lioness @lioness, Jan 19, 2018

Does anyone have ringing in the ears? At times mine is so loud I can't think I don't know of any solutions,if you do I,d appreciate hearing from you.

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

Yes mine started this year!
Mine can be very loud also
Purchased hearing aids , Rexton brand at Cosco ,much better. Brings the volume way down, some also have a tinitus setting, as mine do
Also purchasing Bio flavonoids , recommended byNIH
Tinitus is awful!
They are working on some solutions
Hope they hurry!

Which may help!

Another thought…. Botox injections in the massiter muscle relaxes the clenching which reduces the inflammation of the nerve..

I am late deafened profound due to a TBI and a long term coma. (29 mo.)
When I awoke I had become deaf "profound".
I have since got a right side cochlear implant but
I have non-stop tinnitus.
Can anything be done to stop the tinnitus?

Sorry to say, no. There are scams out there saying they have the solution, but it is just a scam. I asked my brother inlaw, who is losing his hearing, if he still had the tinitis and he said yes. He said even if he lost all hearing, the tinitis will still be there. I have read that it is caused from the brain, not the ears. I have had tinitis over 60 yrs. Somehow, I have good hearing. I hear things my husband doesn't. Yet there are high frequency sounds going on constantly. At least 4. Having the TV on or the radio seems to hide it. Trying to sleep when all is quiet is a challenge. My Dr. prescribed sleeping pills which I only take if I am still awake after 30 minutes. Having the sleeping pills is a big relief. However, I don't want to get addicted to them. Good luck.

I have that, for decades too( loud music as a teen, then brain injury) I find that it's loudest when my ears are clogged, I learned to ignore it as much as possible, except when really loud it's like a whistle

I have tinitus with musical hallucination. I listin to ringing and music playing 24/7. I tired TRT therapy for 2 years with no success. Sadly no effective treatments seem available.
