tinnitus revisited

[William Flynn Wallace]

The pronunciation, btw, is TINN' i tus.  (pronouncing it as Tinn I' tus confuses it with an infection, whose name would end with 'itis).

TWice today I have had a ring started in my ears - one left and one right.  I did the trick of rubbing each ear forcefully for 10 seconds or so and the ring went away.

This trick does not work on chronic rings.  I have one appearing in my left ear which does not seem to change with anything I do.

Have any of you or the people you might have told tried this trick?  Did it work?  It is working well for me,esp. for the rings that start up.  I can get them to stop almost immediately.   bill w

Idk, I have chronic tinnitus at 31yo and I'd love to hear any tricks for reducing it, it sucks

Will - if you missed my post:  put your hand over the ear you hear the noise in and move it around, making a lot of noise.  Of course you could turn up the TV, but I just rub my ear.  This makes quite a bit since I wear aids in both ears.  

Test:  stop all sound-making devices and sit still and see if any new ring occurs.  If so, use the technique and see what happens.  bill w

You said that doesn't help with chronic though right?  I get acute loud tinnitus too that goes away pretty quick.  But my right ear has a 24/7 ring that is quite annoying

Will - do the acute noises just fade away?  Have you tried my trick to get rid of them?  Do you suspect that they result from lack of sound in your environment? Are they worse when you wake up?   billw

I have tinnitus. It is always there, but if I do not think about it the hissing-cicada noise is not apparent. The instant I read or hear about tinnitus it is there in spades. That just happened here.

Laurence, I am not aware of my constant hissing most of the time.   As far as I can tell, it is at a constant volume.  Of course what it is doing when I am blocking it I dunno!!   bill w

Not really sure but I know it seems to be at a pretty constant level all the time.   None of the tricks work.   When there are other noises I don't notice it much

OK, good.  Just try my trick when and if a new noise starts.   bill w
