    I reduce my tinnitus by running more. After few days of running my tinnitus decreased. I also start eating more fruit and veggies. Less meat. I do meditation every other day. and my tinnitus is gone. Keeping your mind busy in different activities helps too. Hope this can work for some of you.

I went just about every month to see an ENT and this has went on, with due diligence, for over 2yrs now. I tried to get help asap. You can't heal if a dr is neglectful in doing their job.

    I hear the ringing no matter what. No amount of noise (or lack thereof) changes it in any way. It also varies wildly in "volume" and tone, and seems to be tied more to my stress levels than anything else. Sometimes it's a tinny high-pitched squeal, sometimes it sounds like one of those hearing-test tones, and sometimes it's barely noticeable and other times it almost drowns out everything briefly.
    And ever hearing test I've ever had demonstrates that I have no hearing loss at all.

    24 yrs on active duty and my tinnitus was so bad by the time I retired that I would get sudden dizzy spells or these flash migraines that would almost make me feel unbalanced but not quite vertigo. In 2022 the VA ran a number of tests on me and eventually issued me the Signia hearing aids. I wore them every single day, even when I was alone at home, and at first I felt as if everything was ‘way too’ loud and that itself annoyed me, but over time I guess my brain adopted and fast forward to today, I can’t go without them. On days I forget to put them on I do notice that my tinnitus isn’t as bad as it was before. So just a simple hearing aide is worth talking to your doctor about if you have severe or even just mild tinnitus that simply annoys you. Thankfully ya’lls tax dollars paid for my hearing aides so a BIG thanks to all tax payers :).

But the absolute worst and quickest way for me to have a bad episode is STRESS. I believe meditation, purposeful breathing exercises, stress relieving stretching and regular exercise is the best way to minimize tinnitus. Can't get rid of it but certainly has helped me tremendously.

      Hi people. I feel for you. My tinnitus came during the pandemic and I was in extreme stress when I got it. At first it was low and I was wondering what it was. But since anxiety is a disease my brain fixated on that ringing and the rest is history. I struggled for many months fighting the noise.
      My recommendation is to do whatever helps. I didn’t take meds but I probably should have. Talk to your doc.
      If the tinnitus is causing anxiety the anxiety has to be addressed. That’s issue number one. It’s not the tinnitus it’s the reaction to the noise. Imaging being next to a loud fan. After a couple of minutes your brain would tune it out because it doesn’t perceive it as a threat.
      However if your brain thought that fan noise was a problem which is what anxiety does then it would start worrying about that fan.
      There’s two different things I’ve tried.
      One if masking. Finding anything that will help you sleep. For me if I didn’t sleep well it cause more anxiety. Sleep was where my battles were and continue to be. You can try going to insight timer and doing different mediations, or using their white noises or their tinnitus retaining tones with the beeping noises. Those helped me much early on. Or buy a loud fan, water foundation, run a podcast to listen to or listen to music all night. Bottom line is that once you find anything that works you’ll feel so much better and will regain some of your control.
      The second option once you’re sleeping and living with it with masking is trying to lean into it. Listening to it and allowing your brain to see it’s not so dangerous so far. I worked with Dr. Gans and she helped me reminding me tinnitus is a paper tiger. It can’t harm us. It’s our interpretation of the noise that we have to deal with. So if you go to sleep with nothing in silence eventually you may be able to not need masking. I’ve done that before but I’m trying now to work my way back.
      Also try to do things you enjoy. Going out and talking with other people for me helped since my brain would be engaged.

    Thanks for sharing this video doctor Aud, I've been suffering with tinnitus for 15 years unfortunately in my left ear. It's affected so many things and even slowed me down a little bit with my time management, because of how distracting it is.

      I'm only two weeks into having tinnitus in my left ear. The first week or so was suicidal inducing, so loud and constant anxiety. I have since noticed some lowering in the volume and it is even forgettable at times. Luckily this occurred as a result of an assault and brain injury by a adolescent psych patient where I work. So it's being covered under workers compensation, my doctor upon learning I have ADHD prescribed me Ritalin, and despite my initial fear of using it I found that it does indeed help with the perception of the loudness. I've also been prescribed gabapentin and thus far it's been able to help lower both the perception and loudness. I'm hopeful that this device is capable of being able to eliminate this issue. Though I fear that I'm going to just have to try my best to habituate, if I may ask, have you been able to habituate after having it so long.?

    What a great video! I've had tinnitus since childhood. It always begins with a total lack of sound in one or both ears. Lately, it is more often, and when it stops, I still have a significantly reduced or total lack of sound. I would love to give this treatment a go. I have this hearing loss, but loud environments cause incredible ear and head pain, so hearing aids may not be the answer. I already tried them twice with Virtego as a result. Anyway, I'm looking forward to my appointment with you next month. You give me hope.

      Have you been vacc*nated w/ any of the cov*d shots by chance? They found a link between the shots & causing tinnutis. For people who already had it before the shots, the shots have made their tinnutis way worse. Doctors are studying the link/cause at Stanford, Harford, mayo clinic etc..they are pretty sure the C shots induce inflammation in the spinal cord, brain, and ears, causing the adverse event in some people. My mom is suffering severely and she never had tonnutis before the shots. Her specialists have told us it was caused by them, and for her to not get any more boosters. The more boosters you get, the worse the tinnutis can get. There's a man who was In his 60s who had the adverse event happen, causing horrible tinmutis, & he couldn't handle the mental trauma from it being so bad, and he unalived himself. I'm spreading the word bc my mom has expressed If hers doesn't get better that she can't handle this much longer. We learned that TMS treatments are helping people greatly reduce their symptoms and even cure It
      That's the next step for my mom. You can research all this yourself. I suggest you do If you have gotten any of the shots. If you havnt, I'm sorry, I know tinnutis can also be caused by hearing loss and it can be genetic.

It's loud - bells of St. Mary's loud, and it really interferes with my ability to process speech. It's like having an obnoxious kid constantly beating pots and pans next to your head (try doing that while engaging in polite conversation, delivering a speech, trying to sleep...). I've tried all the snake oil and acupressure methods. I've spoken to specialists. They run lots of expensive tests but have no idea how to fix it.

    80-90% of individuals naturally habituate to tinnitus without the use of any device costing thousands of dollars. That usually happens within 12-18 months naturally. So when Lenire says that the vast majority of people experience benefit of using this device 12 months later, how many of them would have habituated regardless of the device? How does Lenire measure "improvement"? How much of it is placebo? The Lenire device has been available in Ireland, Germany and other European countries for years now. Funny I haven't heard that Tinnitus has been eradicated in these countries. Many audiologists are excited about this because it is a new mode of income...I guess it is buyer beware.

      The skepticism is appreciated. However, the cynicism called the authenticity of your skepticism into question. I think we should alway question if something is legit or not, but always assuming a profit motive over a noble motive is rather cynical. Audiologists have had access to limited tinnitus treatment options for our patients, and many of us just want a solution that helps them. Time will tell if this treatment moves the needle, but to many people are killing themselves for us not to try.

    I was an Audio Engineer. I used to have extraordinary hearing with a range up to 22Khz and extreme sesitivity, I could hear better than dogs. I could hear sounds nobody else could and it amazed my frends many times. This was until I was in my mid thirties when my tinnnitus started. My older sibling warned me that I might get it since she already had it. It started intermittantly in both ears. It drove me crazy and with time became more cnas more constant.. Now in My fifties It is constant. I have good hearing but not the extraordinary hearing I had.
    I was not aware that that the medical community was aware of the true cause.

    I've had Tinnitus since shortly getting out of the Navy as a Radioman. I spent eight years with headphones on and under multiple speakers blaring one sound or another and sleeping under an air vent outlet. There were also many other loud noises while deployed and my ears never got any rest. And now I have hearing loss as well and the VA gave me hearing aids. I can hear better, but this whooshing, buzzing noise is in both ears and most of the time the sounds I hear are different in both ears and sometimes wakes me up and I think a truck has hit the building. I really hope the Lenire, when it comes out, will have a positive effect. Thank you.

    My tinnitus came on about twenty years ago when I was put on a beta blocker for tachycardia. I had an operation to improve it but the tablets left me with a ringing, hissing noise that has gradually got louder over the years. I now have some hearing loss too. I hope this new technology will help along with any others that are being developed but I fear they will be very expensive and stop many people from being able to benefit. I do find exercise helps as others have mentioned, and de stressing, and eating a low sugar diet. If I don’t do these things it gets worse. But going to the gym has helped, and I’ve learnt to live with it and accept it which I think you have to do, don’t fight it just try to stay calm. I’m in the UK so it probably won’t come here for ages yet as we seem to be behind the US on new medical procedures.

I’m pretty sure that’s what caused mine, as it only started after I’d been on the tablets for several years. I find paracetamol and any pain killers make it worse, and if I’m not well with a bad cold or virus it gets worse. I’ve read pulsatile tinnitus can be caused by lack of iron, but you probably already know this. Also B12 can help as it’s beneficial to the nervous system. I have tried B12, but didn’t notice an improvement, but I might try it again. Hope you find something that helps.

    Would love to learn more about your experience with Lenire if you decide to proceed... keep us posted. However, I am somewhat confused about Lenire's efficacy. I had read that their data wasn't all that great. Some patients also reported that their tinnitus got worse from using the Lenire device as well... maybe it was a very small number of patients reporting this?
    What about Dr. Susan Shore's auricle device? Is that something you would consider waiting for and trying? Seems like there's more solid data behind her research and clinical trials, no? Also sounds like her device is going through FDA approval and could be coming out in the near future as well.
    I'm also curious about Xen1101 which is apparently a much-improved version of Retigabine, which was taken off the market due to severe side effects. There seems to be optimism about Xen1101 potentially treating tinnitus for some patients since it targets the same potassium channels in the brain that impact tinnitus, as it does with epilepsy.

    Ive had tinnitus for 5 years in both ears due to ear infection and noise exposure and my advice is don't let it get worse with the biggest offender being ototoxic medication which in my three experiences has made my tinnitus sharper, louder and rawer/ more piercing and, although after 2 - 3 months it subsided to a base/ manageable level, each time it failed to settle back down to what it was before taking the medication.
    Second offender is sudden sharp loud noises which I have had quite a few of but never lasting damage/ always settled back down to what it was previously after 2 - 3 weeks, sometimes its only lasted hours then settled back down (I carry foam ear plugs to go out and if I'm going somewhere I suspect could be loud I also take ear defenders).
    Second bit of advice is make sure that you don't have wax in your ears or near or on you eardrum as in my experience multiple times after getting wax out my tinnitus has become almost inaudible (wax removed via an ENT using manual extraction as apparently microsuction is too loud near the eardrum which can aggravate tinnitus). As well using distilled water ear drops put in a glass pipette bottle helps to remove ear wax.
    I have experienced severe tinnitus in both ears for extended periods but as for my tinnitus now my left ear is pretty inaudible its only when I lay on the pillow is when it becomes louder and bothersome but I can sleep through it, however my right ear is mild/ moderate and when I lay on the pillow it becomes quite severe, although I can still sleep through it depending on how tired I am (I sleep with 9000Hz white noise and a fan).
    The best way I can describe the tinnitus in my right ear when not laying down is by using audionotch's tuner on 9550Hz at 1% volume and computer volume at 24 although the tinnitus doesn't sound quite like that and its not as pronounced as the pure tone/ the tinnitus has more of a dispersed effect.

    Not holding my breath. I get different tones (a very high pitched tone at the moment) in both years, about the last year. Quickly increasing hearing loss is genetic in my dad's family starting when we're about 40. Throw in that I grew up around guns and no one thought about hearing protection 30 years ago, loud music/bass as a teenager, inner ear issues as an adult, I'm not surprised by the outcome. ENT told me to simply get use to it, it comes with hearing loss and there's nothing to be done about it. This self reported clinical trial seems iffy to me, another thing to overcharge for that may or may not work for some people and the cost will probably be high. I've found the best defense against tinnitus is to stay busy. If my mind is really occupied, I don't really notice it. If I slow down or things get quiet, it's deafening.

    I have suffered tinnitus since I was a teenager I am currently 57 years old. It has gotten worse since I’ve gained some weight it seems to go away when I lose weight. I mean it doesn’t go completely away my case of tinnitus is much more severe than the average person. I would love to be able to participate or take advantage of this program it would definitely say my sanity

    I've had severe tinnitus for 20 or more years and wow, I have tried about 20 different things to help and every single one of them accomplished exactly zero. It is clearly incurable, not treatable and nothing at all works for it. It amazes me that people still pretend this new NEW treatment definitely works. Ridiculous, predatory.
