Medical Forum / Diseases and Disorders / Tinnitus / December 2004TRT
For anyone who has a masker or some sort of noise generator at home..if your tinnitus is so bad it is really annoying you,just do your own tinnitus retraining therapy...listen to it for a solid 4 hours a day...I know TRT takes months and months to work, but I am telling you, my ears are the quietest they have been in 2 years. Imagine how quiet they will be if I keep this up for another year. t's rather annoying at first, but my hubby gets up about 2 hrs b4 me and he just switches it on in the room as he walks out and thats 2 hours covered, then I play it for 2 more hours when I get up. whle im checking my emails making coffee etc...... I am 100% confident that this is going to work, considering the improvement already. Jenny Jennifer: I've had tinnitus for the last 12 years and I have tried white noise maskers but I did not give them enough time. What kind of noise maker do you use? And should it be on when you are sleeping? I would appreciate a reply. Thank you. StewAnn@aol ok..each to their own...I am using a noise generator from homedics..it has wite noise. spring rain, ocean waves, and mounain stream, I coose theone that masks my tinnitus the best..I listen to it for 4 hrs straight a day...can be while your sleeping if you can handle that..I dont really like sleeping with it. Basically find the noise that masks your tinnitus the best and get into a habit of listening to it for 4 hours a day..the way I was explained how this works is that the inner hairs are flat so the brain perceives its hearing sounds even though its not and the neuro transmittors send out the signal that the are hearing sound ( tinnitus) eventually by listening to this for 4 hours a day the neuro ransmittors learn to recognized what is real sound and what isnt. I am not telling anyone t do this, and my explanation may not be exactly correct, but this is what they told me and it cost me a lot of money to hear it, so Im telling you free. It's your decision and good luck. Jenny >Jennifer: I've had tinnitus for the last 12 years and I have tried white noise >maskers but I did not give them enough time.

Wouldn't touch it with a 10-foot pole! Eeeeek, Eva > For anyone who has a masker or some sort of noise generator at home..if > your tinnitus is so bad it is really annoying you,just do your own tinnitus [quoted text clipped - 10 lines] > > Jenny One of the basic rules of many tinnitus programs is to avoid silence at all times! Day and night. MJ TRT does not take months and months to work. Nearly all of the patients get some immediate improvement. At least that is what I have found in the past seven years...as a full time TRT clinician.....glad you are finding some relief......... MJ I have had immediate improvement, I thought maybe it was just the placebo effect though! >TRT does not take months and months to work. Nearly all of the patients get >some immediate improvement.

I just wish I knew about this before..it's tedious work but it's worth it, I have been protecting my ear for 2 years subconsciously I think..never using this ear for the phone, preferring silence...now I know that moderate noise is best. Thanks everyone this group has helped me...If it wasnt for this place I would never have heard of TRT. Jenny >TRT does not take months and months to work.
