Change in sound of T after starting retraining therapy?

Just wondering if it is common for the sound of your Tinnitus to change
when you start doing retraining therapy exercises. I've started this
week listening to certain sounds (classical music, white noise) at a
level just below my tinnitus ringing every night, reading before I go
to bed. As well as using a sound machine sleeping... same thing as
well, putting it at a level below my tinnitus ringing. After 3-4 days,
I've noticed the high pitch ring has changed somewhat to a high hissing
noise. Is this normal?

Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

Check with a psychiatirist. There have been cases of persons posting
here having several side effects, including dementia and heart
attacks.

Never hurts to have a trained observer.

I have heard of this happening, and in some cases it means that the
sound enrichment you are doing is affecting how your brain is
processing the tinnitus signal.  I would not worry about it.  Keep it
up and report back on how you are doing.  Good luck.

PS, the other post that suggests dementia or heart problems as a side
effect of what you are doing is utter nonsense.

We had two cases from this group, newbie.

I'm not trolling, I am asking you a plain and simple quistion, who are
you talking on behalf of? - if your post was on topic, then my question
to it is.

About topposting:  it messes the temporal sequence up for those that use
synthetic speech and is against default usenet netiquette
recommendations. It can have its place in commercial email, where it has
become standard to send the whole darn thread back and forth, but in a
newpost it is misguided. It originally came into being because Microsoft
can not write proper a proper newsreader. Use OE quotefix to make OE
work as it should have done out of the shrinkwrap.

Stop trolling. Posting style is a favourite topic for trolls trying to
cause trouble. You bottom posting arguments are crap. You wouldn't use
them in emails and the association of multiple answers are
disassociated with their respective headers. Most threading error
arguments are caused by bottom posting.

I do not use them in corporate emails. This is not corporate email, this
is usenet.

You're the troll, you come to a tinnitus support group, you say that
someone here is mad, you say that you speak on behalf of "we", you will
not say who "we" are. It is not surprising that you toppost - those that
do it generally are the inconsiderate lot, but it is impractical for
reasons already stated and a disrespect for visually disabled people,
there may well be some reading also this newsgroup.

Peter is correct on all of his points.

You do appear to be trolling, "Janice".   That's what your other posts
show as well.

You claimed that there have been two cases of dementia and/or heart
problems linked to an increase in tinnitus.  Nonsense.  Kindly put up.
Or shut up.

Another newbie with a know-it-all big mouth.

One died and one went parly insane and disappeared. You appear to be
attempting to pick a fight...this is known as trolling.

Tinnitus causes neither heart attacks nor dementia nor insanity.  Your
post to the individual worried about an increase in T and raising the
spectre of any of these as a potential consequence was not only not
helpful, it was entirely ill-informed.

Scram, idiot.

Maybe watch the group for a while and learn newbie.

Many were here to experience it. You apparently weren't.

I searched this group going back six years.  There is nothing posted on
it connecting increased tinnitus with either heart disease or dementia
or insanity.

You don't know what you are talking about.

Get lost.

Janice - 08 Dec 2006 03:17 GMT
You don't search well do you?

My news provider still has some of the messages on it. I will reply to
one of them, just for you. Perhaps then you may apologize for being so
infantile in your responses.

Captain Ron Yoli died of a heart attack.  He also had tinnitus.  That
does not mean that tinnitus causes heart disease or heart attacks.

There are people with tinnitus who also have arthritis.  That does not
mean the arthritis is caused by the tinnitus.

There are people with tinnitus who develop diabetes.  That does not
mean that tinnitus causes diabetes.

Etc., etc.

You must be brain dead.  If you farted and it started raining, I guess
you'd start carrying an umbrella every time you had gas.

Please crawl into the nearest manhole, troll.  I don't think I will
feed you any more.

Janice - 11 Dec 2006 00:28 GMT
I suppose you have cites to show or demostrate in any way, shape or
form the two aren't related?

BTW: We were discussing asociation tinnitus retraining therapy, not
association with tinnitus. Try to stay on topic instead of looking for
any method to bend your lack of arguments or are you going to tell me
Capt'n Ron Yoli didn't participate in tinnitus retraining therapy?

You had also stated you had searched back seven years and could not
find any mention of heart attack here. Now you are all familiar with
this case of Yoli after his intense tinnitus retraining therapy.

You need to keep you lies straight and show you are not just trolling
here.

Best of luck on Usenet. You are going to need it after discrediting
yourself so badly.

I did not say I could find no mention of heart attack.  I said I found
no connection between heart attack and tinnitus.  There is no
connection.  Just because someone has one and then develops the other
does not establish a causal link.  And your claim that TRT causes heart
attack is even more ridiculous.

Just because something follows something else does not mean the second
event was caused by the first.  That fallacy is called "post hoc, ergo
propter hoc".  I gave you a number of examples, but you are obviously
too stupid to understand this simple point.  You might try to
understand it by reading this:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Post_hoc_ergo_propter_hoc.  Perhaps ask
your parents to explain it to you.   Anyone with an IQ over 80 should
be able to grasp the point.

Also, for your information, Ron Yoli died of heart disease years after
he completed TRT.  I guess there was some kind of delayed reaction,
right?

There was also a fellow who posted on this group years ago named
"twodobes", who had tinnitus and died of cancer.  So why don't you also
claim that tinnitus causes cancer?

My first reaction to your post on this was anger that anyone would
frighten others with phoney claims of the kind you made.  But now it is
quite obvious to me that no one is going to take your idiotic
statements seriously.  So I am done with you.

Twist your conclusion how you like. You cannot twist the history here
though.

You can't seem to make up your mind what you are arguing about anyway.

"I searched this group going back six years.  There is nothing posted

or insanity.

You don't know what you are talking about."
