I have had tinnitus for almost twenty years.  The first year was
pretty difficult, but I found an understanding audiologist and with
the help of a masker that she fitted for me, I was able to get back to
a normal life.  Since then, my tinnitus has flared up on occasions and

"CONCLUSIONS: A combination of infusion therapy followed by oral
administration of Ginkgo special extract EGb 761 appears to be
effective and safe in alleviating the symptoms associated with
tinnitus aurium."

I'm new around here - so please to have found this ng.  My daughter,
Naomi, has tinnitus, endolymphatic hydrops, bilateral congenital
severe deafness and hypothyroidism (amongst her probs).  We have just
found out that she has a similiar to meniere's disease that is

I've taken Ginko  50mg/day for a year and have not noticed a benefit
to my T.  I take it for other reasons.  Well, thats the extent of my
anecdotal evidence concerning Ginkgo and T.
A little research may find a small study or two that seem to support

I've always been very sensitive to high frequencies and have noticed a
ringing in my ears in the last few months (tinnitus).  It might be
caused or abetted by high frequencies emitted by my speakers and/or
monitor which emits a soft, high pitched whine from the back.  The

White noise has always been a thing for me, since a baby following the
vacuum around 'till now at age 60. When traveling I take a portable
unit. At home there's an air unit supplemented by an electrical

Mine is perhaps a bit worse on my left side and, on that side only, if
I move my jaw as far forward as possible, there is tremendous
loudenning while my jaw is positioned near fully forward. Anyone else

To a western medical doctor or doctors trained up in the western
medical discipline, a t sound represents a sound which the inner ear
is 'not supposed' to hear.  That is at least what my several ENT
doctors in Hong Kong, China and Vancouver of Canada told me.  Thus the

I think it is EXTREMELY important for any newbie to attend to his or
her T quickly as soon as it is detected.

seems clear: if the T is treated quickly, preferrably within 2 weeks

I'm curious if others experience the breif escape of the ringing as I
seem to have when I first wake up in the morining. The first couple
minutes after waking up I dont hear the constant ringing. I dont know

Well, I'm glad I found this NG. There's no better source of practical
answers than from those who've been there.
First, let me introduce myself. My name is Mark Mossberg, I live in the
Costa Mesa/Santa Ana area of So. Cal. I work as an engineer for a

Is there a relationship between bruxism and tinnitus? Healthwise, I
have been cleared of everything else...had MRI, blood test, hearing
test done...all normal. I have worn my teeth down quite a bit by
grinding at night. Would an x-ray of my mouth be able to diagnose

I've been battling a crapload of doctors, all of whom seem to be all
too willing to write me off as a hypochondriac with anxiety problems.
To make the long story short, I started getting red and watery left
eye in October. In November, the area around my eye started to hurt a

Ok ladies and gentlemen,,,,my Tinnitus has officially pushed me over
the edge. So to calm myself and to try to actually start sleeping some
simple questions I hope someone can answer. My last thread strayed off
topic a little bit---but lots of useful information:

I have a wet-dry canister vacuum that was way too loud.  I built a sound
deadening box for it , and now I use it without ear protectors.  About 40$
material , incl. : plywood (or other like material) , a way to cut it , foam
