I think it means that you search for it when you wake up.

Butch:  it means the blood circulation is hindered somewhat.  When that
happens at night, try to take away the pillow and lie flat for a while
and see if there is a difference.

Tinnitus is definitely related to consciousness.  It's a brain thing.  As I
have woken up, I have been aware of a measured, large increase in T volume,
which goes against theories of diminished blood volume during sleep causing
relatively "more" loudness in the morning.

But then again, it's relative.  In the theater watching Star Wars the other
night, I heard my Tinnitus during the loudest moments of the film.  And yet
walking out of the theater, even though the "loudness" was the same, it was
not louder than a cranked up theater sound system.

Does anyone have anectodotal evidence of ginko being effective?

Ben, as long as you refuse to habituate your tinnitus you won't.  We hang
around here because we have been where you are now and want to help.  Have
you noticed we are the only ones who aren't trying to sell you something?

No BEN at least I think the others try to help and RU not being a bit of a
w.nker here??  Im not a clever guy meself soif theyve gor rid if there T
then maybe they can tell us how they did it....even if it dont work always
THats the point. There trying to help  Just as DR Poon is with his remedys.

Fair comment !   Good luck and take care.

Let me rephrase by saying ONE of the problems why tinnitus is such a
problem for some is because they seem determined for it to be one.

I'd also like to say, as many others toting habituation have, that it
doesn't work for everyone. There is NOTHING in this world that works
for EVERYONE.
But for someone to go on and on disparaging the practice and referring
to those who have had some success with it as fools, w.nkers, [insert
pejorative here] etc. Plus spouting off about it being impossible or
unrealistic is plain WRONG. If I had come into this newsgroup and read
some of that crappola and actually took it to heart, I'd probably
still be in torment. If you have researched the concept of habituation,
and have come to the objective conclusion that it doesn't work for
you, then try saying something like "I've given habituation my best
try, but it didn't work for me. I'm glad that others have had
success with it, but I'm simply not a candidate, what else can I
try?"

Thank you.

What the hell are you doing here in this superstress environment then?

Are you suicidal? Like to tempt fate? Just want to prove it can't happen to
you?

Take your damn magnesium supplements and step away from the keyboard fool.

What a load of bullshit!  I am totally gobsmacked that you could even think
to write this to a SUPPORT group, let alone actually do so.

And?  THAT CAN BE TREATED?

Oh, golly and my ears are ringing too, BIG DEAL!!

This CAN'T be treated - get it?  Thought not - blimey!
