I better solution would be to (ecspecially with all that money involved), is to get a permanent solution of sugery to remove the bone growth

Isn't it just a lovely thing when your ear playing C sharp is going to play til the bitter end. (not funny but is sorta) Well the truth of the matter is i suffer from tinnitus, (i've been calling it tinius - Oops ) anyways this started as far back as age 10 (42 now) and as i get older it gets worst, i live common law and we don't make alot of $ to pay for this kind of surgery, tho i'd love to get rid of it, having anxiety and a hard time leaving the house prevents a positive outcome..(sighs) so far i'm just trying to deal with it some days of course better than others... (heaven forbid its a sign of going deaf)
Thx for at least posting this message..sometimes i feel like i'm the only one suffering with this in my circle, or the only one who talks about it..
Cheers..Take Care and GodSpeed..

Hmmm, I'm over 50 and have had loud ringing in the ears all my life.

If I think about it, then its extremely loud.

If I am not thinking about it, the brain just sort of forgets its there for weeks at at time!

I have had tinnitus seems like forever and I just kind of ignore it. When it gets loud as in sinus problems and colds, I have trouble sleeping. I have been having acupuncture done recently and on the last visit, I noticed when I got home that it was unusually quiet. The tinnitus was gone temporarily for a day (Wow) what a strange feeling that was. I slept soundly for 8 hours without a bother. It's back and I have a sinus infection so the waterfall sound in my left ear is really annoying.

I have severe tinnitus. I have been on at least 10 different medications "to let me sleep" & either I still wake up and hear the ringing many times each night or the medication makes me so stupid - I either can't wake up or function at work. I have tried the Neuromonics ($4,000) and it seemed to help for a while - but now it seems that it is just addtional noise in my head. Any suggestions? I was going to try acupunture- since I am running out of things to try. I just want to sleep...

For many people tinnitus is related to hypothyroidism---underactive thyroid. It can also be caused by low aldosterone levels---due to severe adrenal fatigue. One way to find out if this applies to you is to have blood tests for thyroid function (test the TSH, FT3 and FT4, also test for thyroid antibodies.) the other is to do a saliva or a blood test for aldosterone levels.

There are medications for each disorder that can relive much of the tinnitus if not all of it.
I know, I had both adrenal fatigue and am now being treated for underactive thyroid.

Please remember that tinnitus is connected to co-facters in your lifestyle. So getting fit and eating healthy will help your tinnitus.

I firmly beleive this because to have tinnitus you have to have some form of hearing damage and not everyone who has hearing damage develops tinnitus. The only factors that are different with people with and without tinnitus is their lifestyle also a few small generic ones.

Change your lifestyle and you will see you tinnitus improving.

I don't believe there is a supplement and/or product to eliminate it but I do notice several things that make it worse for me.
Alcohol, caffeine and a lack of sleep.

First 2 are easy to eliminate and Melatonin helps me sleep and its natural.
