As many have said, not much you can do about it.

Mine started in 1968. Probably my exposure to loud noises? My M-60 machine gun? A 50 caliber machine gun 7 feet away from me? The 90mm main gun of nearby tanks? 155mm shells landing close by? Jets dropping ordinance nearby? M-79s?

Just do your best to ignore it...

That certainly puts things in perspective. So sorry you had to go through that

Hi FLL,

See link for an early but promising result. My tinnitus is too mild for me to have personal interest. But if yours is still torturous, you might want to send this to your doctor to discuss

Very interesting, Flying Scot. "In more than 87.5% of patients (14/15 subacute, 35/40 chronic), tinnitus disappeared or had significantly reduced by the end of the treatment."

Yes, I'm encouraged. I probably should have put a caveat that these results would need to be repeated many times by different groups for us to accept this as proven. But for a person with a severe case, definitely worth investigating now.

This is a complicated study and techniques and doubt it would be easy to find someone to do it. The procedures are not without risk. Would like to see some peer review.

With all those qualifications it is still good to have some hope.

For me it usually occurs in the early morning like right now at 5:44-am, and will usually wake me up or happens while I'm asleep? Almost every morning after sunrise I try to lose the tinnitus noise by going for a long walk, about two miles, and this usually helps to lose the tinnitus, temporarily.

It is definitely the worst and most serious medical problem for me.

FLL, about two months ago I started listening to rain and thunder on YouTube at bedtime. I set the timer on the TV for 1 hour. I have consistently fallen asleep within about 10 minutes with these videos. If tinnitus is waking you up, you can let the video play all night.

My hope is that it would be difficult to hear your tinnitus over the noise of these videos. I urge you to try this. Just do a YouTube search for "black screen thunderstorm." The screen goes black after about 30 seconds. You can also turn the screen away from you for an even darker result. Try this and let us know what happens.

You know what works pretty good for me ........ listening and maybe watching the 'Lisa P Hikes' 2021 eight month You tube, hiking the Appalachian Trail. She is a 41-year old from west Texas known as Tex who works as a tour guide in the Grand Canyon/mule wrangler, guiding and talking to a small group of mule riders as they go up and down the steep canyon trail.

She is very well spoken!

And, I do believe this tinnitus or something has made me fall deeply, deeply in love with Lisa P Hikes and I am very jealous of her pack mules that she rides up and down the Grand Canyon! ..... ha-ha-ha! ...

Anybody try CBD with turmeric? I worked wonders for me.
