I had 3 hyperbaric oxygen sessions on my 5th week with tinnitus, and
had to stop it because it made it worse (actually doubled it). So, if
your tinnitus is old and you wish you had hyperbaric oxygen while it
was still young, just don't. It might have made it worse than it is

I have been reading up on tinnitus, and thinking about my own case.

reasons, and have had short bursts of tinnitus that never created real

The replies to my "Two year" post a couple of days ago were really
fabulous, a big howdy to you all. If you're new to this group and
you've never come across these names, they're some of the most caring
people you'll ever have to privilege to meet. The huge thing about it

My T is really been aggravated lately.  First, I played a gig with my

taking drugs to sleep but i don´t want to become a addicted. If

I've been using a Neti Pot for the past couple of weeks (it helps clean
out sinuses) and it seems to have reduced my tinnitus.  Anyone else
tried one?

To all of Capt. Ron's friends..I am sorry to inform you that we lost Captain
Ron suddenly on Friday of a massive heart attack.  If you would like more

Please pray for me.

Day 5 on cipro, woke up with my ears screaming!  Stopped immediately.
Ironic, it came out of the blue.  The last two days were really
good....  I just found out cipro is made of quinine.  I can't believe
this is on no ototoxic lists!!!

After a lifetime of faint tinnitus, mine got very loud in my right ear about
a month ago and has been driving me nuts. I've been trying various remedies
including fish oil, alpha lipoic acid, zinc and a Vitamin B stress tab.
