Tinnitus treatment/help

[BluSu]

I have taken all three of the mentioned remedies at the same time for a long period of time and they were of no help to me. I just think that most of us have to learn to live with Tinnitus; when I feel like a jet plane is sitting next to me engines at full strength, I just try to get interested in TV or reading. At first, I had my family running all over the house looking for all the strange sounds that I hear; in fact all appliance were turned off for them to be sure that nothing was making a noise that I was hearing. I always hear sounds in both ears and not the same sound in each ear; at times, like now they are a bit calm, oh strike that, I thought the furnace was running and just checked and it is just my left ear running. :-) Oh well, as long as we can laugh and cope with it, we should be thankful. :-)

Hey ofallongrandma, I'm sorry to hear that you are going through tinnitus. I read somewhere that while there is no cure for tinnitus, many people find relief by wearing a hearing aid. I wouldn't waste any money on these supplements but would suggest you see an audiologist. They treat hearing loss and tinnitus as well.

I think that most of us on this site wear hearing aids and they have not helped my tinnitus at all; just hear better and that was all that I expected.

I have a lot of will power and a sense of humor and I think that has helped me deal with tinnitus most days. I wear hearing aids and tell people that I might not hear what they are saying, and I laugh and tell them that I do hear things that they do not. I usually can take my mind off of the awful sounds that I hear by getting interested in a good book or a favorite television program. Also, I like to play computer games that stimulate my brain and that helps me not to be so aware of the tinnutis. Some nights, I do take sleeping pills so that I can sleep as when things get real quiet, the tinnitus is more likely to really get to me. I never had tinnitus until after going through chemo and radiation and I feel that caused my tinnitus and hurt my hearing as I never had a hearing problem prior to the treatments. Oh well, whatever caused it seems to be with all of us for our lifetime and we just have to deal with it in our own ways that work best for us. Sometimes we just have to make lemonade! :-)
