Tinnitus cure

[Anonymous]

These are what has helped me: allergy meds (esp NasalCrom nose spray); vestibular therapy; adjusting my thyroid meds to keep TSH at 2 or lower. I’d keep trying to see what works for you.

There is no cure. Your hope won't make it less true.

Got it in 2005 when had to start NSAIDs for osteoarthritis. Some were worse than others but ended up on Celebrex as most effective despite black box warning. Drinking made it worse. Lying down made it worse. Hearing was fine. Got used to it.
Stopped Celebrex 2017. Knee replacements. No NSAIDs at all. Still tinnitus.
Realized maybe last year it was gone. Don't know why.
I joke that maybe the bivalent Covid Vax cured me.

Whether or not I can be “cured” is tied to the reason for the tinnitus. Typically it is caused by hearing loss. Essentially you lose some of your hearing in an ear, and the brain replaces it with ringing. My understanding is in those cases, the ringing is unlikely to go away. Some tinnitus is a by-product of other conditions, such as TMJ. If you cure or lessen the underlying condition, the tinnitus will sometimes improve as well. So it really just depends.

It's mind body. Like you said, worse after a stressful day.

Google Julian UK doctor tinnitus.

True.

The brain's dorsal cochlear nucleus creates the tinnitus to "make up" for "missing" noise. However, tinnitus can happen without hearing loss, too.

My own research revealed to me that low blood flow or interferences in blood flow can cause tinnitus, so be sure to exercise and drink enough water to keep blood moving. Manage blood pressure, etc. A stroke or heart attack is one drastic example of a blood flow issue. Both can cause hearing loss.

I just got used to it over time. You tune it out.

Supposedly hearing aids can help

My tinnitus is louder in one ear that’s the other and is heightened by certain movements. I also have a pinched nerve in my neck on the louder side, so I’m wondering if the two are related.

Have had for decades. No cure; no reduction in sound; constantly; loud; high pitched; at times drives me mad; impacts my hearing; and I mostly just live with it. Sorry.

Susan Shore at Michigan is getting close to a device that helps though.

Helps how and who is she? I've tried masking with sounds in hearing aids and it just made me have the tinnitus and then the annoying sound of the masking plus whatever I was trying to hear over all of this.

Hearing aids don't help other than to maybe help me hear things I can't hear due to the loudness of the tinnitus. They don't help my tinnitus actually.

Yes, theoretically. In practice - there are some people who did free themselves of it.

Thanks. I can’t manage to reply to every post, but I am reading all posts and thankful for your inputs.
Some days are pretty bad. I don’t know if I should consider myself slightly disabled and scale back work… I am able to perform but usually I would be over-performer.. But not after tinnitus. I wake up very tired…. I wake up periodically from noise - it is now static but used to be ringing… if it changes its nature and the level of noise goes up and down — it should go away as it’s not something constant in its nature… I just did not figure out what that is for me.
