Anyone successful in dealing with Tinnitus?

Avoid loud noise from here on is number one on my list. There's a vitamin (lipoflavanoid) that's supposed to help, I can't say it did anything for me. An ENT friend of mine read a paper suggesting a metabolic cause with regard to calcium ions moving across the cell membranes as the nerve cells in the inner ear repolarize, which may explain why my tinnitus is more pronounced after exposure to loud sounds. High sodium intake was suggested as a cause by an audiologist, although I can't say that was much of an issue for me. Of course avoid any aspirin or NSAID compounds. They absolutely cause tinnitus. Allergic congestion will cause tinnitus. I had a bad tooth that caused my ears to ring, see your dentist. Once the tooth was fixed, quiet again.

Interesting reading.

I once lived in my apartment in almost complete silence for like a month. I no longer suffer from tinnitus. For me removing noisy stimuli can make it go away over time.

If I listen to music that is too loud then I will often get some ringing back for a little while.

I have had tinnitus as long as I can remember and have never seen a doctor about it. I actually find the ringing comforting sometimes. Like I can go inside of it and simply listen to the tones. As long as you have a quiet mind tinnitus can do no harm.

Mine is of course low level. Ear plugs - soft foam ones - help tinnitus for me because it helps lower the noises around me.

One thing of concern - I have always had a bit of high frequency ringing but one time I pulled a IEM out my ear to fast and now the low bass - Wuh WUH WUH sound will come with my higher frequency ringing. I think that is caused from some sort of rapid pressure changes.

Thanks,

My doctor was straight forward in telling me that there is no cure for that yet. I have it. Most of the time you don't notice it. You learn to live with it.
