Hi everyone, I just found these forums.

I am a severe tinnitus sufferer.
My GP, who consulted a specialist in the area, said the only way to get rid of it was to have an operation which will leave me profoundly deaf!.
(I still have 50% hearing in each ear and don't want to take that route.)
I live in area where there are many alternative practitioners who all claim they can help, but not one of them has produced a person who has had their tinnitus reduced(or removed).

I would like to hear from ANYONE that has themselves experienced reduction in their tinnitus due to some method.

Regards Alex

"I would rather cope with tinnitus and retain what's left of my hearing."
Agreed.

"Just typing this is making me aware of that high pitch whistle. AGGHHHHH!"
Opps sorry...eeer think of the Moody Blues

All the best to you too

I also have this problem and it is related to an inner ear disorder. I have found a low sodium diet, less cafeine and keeping stress in check does help..but that is quite impossible to do!

I have tinnitus I fine relaxing and silent works

Yeah i've got it too. I saw an ear,nose and throat specialist 20 yrs ago and they told me there was no cure...mines managable and it's only when i'm awake at night that i really notice it...Unitl it gets mentioned and then... It draws youre attention too it. I remember about a year ago it just occured to me...wouldn't it be great if it went away and b4 i knew it i was cryin' at the thought of it!!

I hate it . Mine isn't as bad as other bu the constant ringing really gives me headaches at times.

I have it also and it is very annoying, but I prefer the tinnitus to the alternative.

That's one f**kin' rockin' cat!!!
