Tinnitis
 
Anyone had it? Did You find treatment? Was it successful?
Thanks for your help in advance.

Have had it for 30 years and just deal with it. Sorry numerous doctors have said there is no cure.

MrFlorida 03-15-2022 02:04 PM

Yes, I have it, unfortunally there is no cure. Don't fall for those adds that say they can cure it...

Well said.

MartinSE 03-15-2022 02:15 PM

Yes, yes, no.

There is no cure. Don't fall for them.

Lowering high blood pressure can help, that is about it according to my audiologist.

Amazing how often I see ads that they can cure it. When someone does figure out how to cure they will be a billionaire many times over.

Dr Berg says it can be caused by high insulin levels.

Yes, no. I have tinnitus in my left ear and there no ear there. There is pencil holder, but no inner ear piece’s

I lived with tinnitus for around 20 years. Hearing aids have eliminated it for the most part. I still have moments, maybe once or twice a month, when I'll get the familiar high-pitched buzz in my head.

But mine was the result of a progressive hearing disability. If you find out why you have it, and fix THAT, then the tinnitus will go away.

A buddy who has work related tinnitus said he does not suffer from it anymore from now wearing a hearing aid. I don't know which type it is, but totally worth researching I reckon. Good luck.

I have had tinnitus for 50 years. In 2020, I was diagnosed with Meniere's Disease. Both have no cure. I just deal with it one day at a time. Don't believe the snake oil out there. Someday, I just won't hear out of my left ear. Until then, I enjoy the sound I hear, minus the ringing.

I’ve had it for about 10 years, due to overdose of chemo. Mine sounds like driving with car windows open. Also lost hearing of some frequencies. So far nothing has helped.

Stop eating foods that spike insulin/cause inflammation might help (i.e carbohydrates and plant oils)...And cut down on booze :/

Pezerp 03-15-2022 10:06 PM

White noise. Ten thousand crickets chirping across my ears.

Ski Bum 03-15-2022 11:21 PM

Important to understand the cause. Very common is your brain replacing the sound range you have lost with filler noise. Hearing aids can fix that.
