My experience with tinnitus is not pleasant. It really affected everything I did and partially impaired my hearing especially in a noisy places and my concentration was poor due to the constant ringing. I find that most of the cures & remedies are just temporary however simple lifestyle changes like playing sports or physical activities really helped me with reducing the noise.

It is important that we visit an Audiologists at least twice a year for an ear checkup.This could prevent any hearing impairment from occurring. Also, if you are experiencing any pain from your ears, consult your doctor right away.

I was a rave dj for several years and did considerable damage to my ears, not only do i have hearing loss but tinnitus as well, i have been coping rather well, i have only had a few episodes of anxiety. I can live with it and ambient soft noise helps me through the day, i have noticed by wearing ear plugs that the ringing is greater in my left ear.
I found your comments on diet interesting and i am going to give it a try. Thanks for publishing this blog.

Dear Sir,

I fully agree with you.I have now almost lived my second year of tinnitus and no one can help you except yourself and a wonderfull wife that understands the moments of pain and doubts and let yourself express yuor feelings.No docter can find the words that you need because a fighting spirit is the only means of success.I did not know I could fight that hard and live already 365 days X 2 the tinnitus problem.I found ways to influence it like changing my eating habits.I started playing golf to distress and discovered a wonderfull game that’s part of my life now and part of my hapiness.I also know when the ringing is most annoying in the morning
and that staying in bed listening to these crazy sound is fully wrong.So I get up and start my day with a good shower and the flow of the water over the noice is very helpfull to start a better day.
It’s a question of a lot of small things you can really rely on and will help you
to stay in controll.
I think in my case it’s really the auditory nerve that is affected and I have acepted the idea it will never be cured.By accepting this I leave the tinnitus behind me and go for other thoughts,ideas,etc

Hope this is of some help.
There is a tinnitus-center.com in israel that pretends having helped thousands of soldiers suffering from tinnitus after loud explosions for instance.did you hear about it?
I send them a mail but never got an answer.One must also be aware that there are a number of sites one can better avoid as they want to make money on people’s suffering.
Best regards and loads of fantastic concerts

Theo,

You’re welcome for the story. From the sounds of it you’re are near the beginning of your journey with tinnitus. That’s a tough place to be, you have my thoughts with you in that space.

Anyway, I’m not great at advice, i’m only good at what’s worked for me. And, what worked for me was to begin to focus on what really matters in my life, like; music, family, friends and the things I like to do. Because if I focus on what I don’t want, like; tinnitus, stress, anxiety and fear… I get a lot more of those things.

Try to avoid saying things like “my life is now a disaster,” because inevitably you’ll live into that role. Perhaps you could say, “there are millions of tinnitus patients that have learned to live happy and productive lives, I could be one of them.”

Do you see how that works?

Anyway, I do offer my Ebook and audio recording which explain this process in detail plus a whole lot more. I think it would help you…especially as a fellow pianist. You can find the book here…

Dear Paul,
Thank you for your story. maybe I can get hope out of it. I’m also a pianist and I ‘m in the same tinnitus situation as you were. My life now is a disaster. What good advice can you give me.

[...] I’m still getting emails in response to my tinnitus story that was published by the American Tinnitus Association. Some are wonderful testimonials of chronic Tinnitus sufferers who have found relief by making serious life-style changes. I too made those life-style changes which healed alot of my suffering. I talk about this very candidly in my audio seminar. You can order it now by clicking here. [...]

Another way to look at your journey is that as long as you are reinfocing your symptoms through anxiety, the sympotms are worse whether its Tinnitus or an insect bite. But you are born with a fight/flight mechanism, when you hear the tiger or the twig snap, its a “bad”. Once you are convinced that the T is not a “bad”, relaxation takes place and anxiety reinforcement is reduced and so are the sympotms. With your muscle relaxation, you reduce the anxiety – whether it is Biofeedback, Exercise, Yoga, etc.

Probably you might have healed faster if this had been explained to you. Best wishes,
