Medical Forum / Diseases and Disorders / Tinnitus / July 2007Following up
So its June of 2007. Still working through the tinnitus issue (see previous posts). Since the beginning ( 2 years back or so ), I've tried: - Audiologists tests, MRI, MRA: found nothing. - Balance / vertigo / electric ear zapping tests. All seems normal. - Tried the Arches/Ginko stuff at recommendation of Audiologist, for couple months: no help. - Went on law salt diet with a dieuretic prescribed by audiologist for couple months: no help. - Doing more neck and overall exercise / Tai Chi / cardio / walking, over a year: no help. - Tried accupuncture ( 30 or so times): no help, and it hurt. So the new thing, is a dental prosthetic to help correct for TMJ, which I've had for years. Just got on it the other day. Sounds like I'll have it for a few months. I'll let y'all know... Rj Oh and a couple other things: - I had tendonitus in Nov. The occupational therapist said a lot of that was caused by my overall posture at the computer. After her treatment and improving my posture and all, the tendonitus went away. No help no the tinnitus though. - Started taking a statin for high cholesterol about a year back. No change there.

For your information, it is a standard practice in most hospitals in China to treat tinnitus patients. Different doctors prescribe different kinds of solution for their patients. MIne was a mix of herb and synthetic solution. Infusion treatment helped cut down the volume of my tinnitus. The second one which I think is missing from your list is sound treatment. I did not try it in a professional manner but my experience of living in the vincinity of ciccadas strongly suggests to me that it can be very useful. The right kind of sound is very therapeutic to the damaged nerve cells, wherever they are in the body. I don't recommend hyperbaric oxygen treatment because I resent being locked up in the tank. I have phobia about it. But others liked it and have found them useful.

Maybe a link to a site where it´s available as download or maybe a CD to buy somewhere? -Anders > I did not try it in a professional manner but my > [quoted text clipped - 8 lines] > > -Anders I don't know if such a link is available but you can check it out with an audiologist. When I was in Vancouver a year ago, I noticed some audiologists there were selling a couple of electronic ears for about 3000 Canadian dollars. They can make the sound mimic your tinnitus or any high pitched sound. >> Can you please recommend a place to find or buy the sound of of ciccadas? >> Maybe a link to a site where it´s available as download or maybe a CD to buy >> somewhere? Wikipedia has a link to sound files, somewhere in the middle of this list: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cicada#External_links cheers, Enno http://eebee.net/sound/sound.html Do you have trouble finding suitable CDs to play to mask your Tinnitus? How about making your own!?!?! Or have a friend do it for you.

But ever since I moved into this Chinese university dormitory which is adjacent to trees of ciccadas, I have learned to enjoy a nap in the midst of ciccadas sound! The natural sound from ciccadas is very soothing and therapeutic. My ENT doctor in China told me that this natural sound from ciccadas can help the damaged auditory nerve cells to recover. So try it. This sound treatment may be capable of producing longer terms recovery effect on tinnitus.
