Hi - I've been following this support group for a week now and have already
received some good advice, especially from fyfpoon@gmail.com.
I picked up Ginkgo Biloba as he advised - at the Alternative Health store -
where the knowledgeable owner also suggested I pick up chloroxygen
(chlorophyyll Concentrate)  - which I have just begun taking a couple days
ago.

Awhile ago I read information on tinnitis on the Mayo Clinic web page and
they mentioned that vascular tinnitis stops when you turn your head a
certain way. - which is what happens to the roaring in my right ear,
especially when I get in bed at night - I just tilt my head and breathe
slowly and it goes away.  The roaring used to be light a year ago and I
hardly heard it, but now its turned into a real loud roar and wakes me up
sometimes, but again, I can shut it off.

I must mention that I am also deaf - and wear hearing aids.

I had every vascular test imaginable:  The thyroid - the Carotid - the
arteries circling the ears - and the cardiology stress tests, etc. - where I
was told I was a lucky woman - a strong heart, that pumps well - and no
plaque buildup.
So what's left?  I wish I could figure it out.

However, I now have developed hyperacusis - since  for the last several
weeks a loud humming took over my head at least five times - it even shuts
off the roaring in my right ear. Sometimes it lasts for six or more hours.

Twice I've had to take a 1/2 sleeping pill - 2.5 mg. at night and when I
wake up the humming is gone.

Any answers out there would be appreciated?

thanks,  perila@adelphia.net
