LOL!!Well,those walks saved me from going berserk!

Hi Doris,

Just kidding you, I figured to explain I wasn't trying a remedy,

but what parts in my ear are causing it. I am sure your walks helped

and helped in many ways.

Is Berserk a word? Oh yes and it is a state of being here in New

England like Ms Startgazzer mentioned LOL.

Ginko Balaoba<sp> oh yeah my lovely wife put me on that for

awhile to help my memory, but I forgot if it worked .

[Guest guest]

Yes... if you had damage in the semi circular canals, you could have tinitus

in that ear... It is not uncommon for the c-toma to attach itself and breach

these canals... it is usually the cause of the vertigo as well. If the

c-toma breaches this area it is considered to involve the inner ear.

Is it normal to have a " hissing-like " tinnitus in my ex-CTOMA ear?

I am a tinnitus sufferer and am treating myself via QX for it, did you physically have the mercury removed by a dentist?

I've heard few reports of tinnitus clearing up, no matter what therapy the patient tries. I'm wondering how many of you out there have connected metal in the mouth as being the culprit? I was delighted after the first quadrant of mercury was removed to discover that the level of noise in my head was greatly reduced. Now today after the second removal it is even less! is Rotella, M.Ac.,, Arnold land (www.jadespring.com)............................................

I am a tinnitus sufferer also, and lately saw an ad by a company or doctor in New York that provides a bioenergetic treatment for it. They administer the frequency of the sound that one is hearing. Apparently it work very well after a few treatments. To my dismay I lost the ad. However, should be able to add this to the QXCI.

Yes, I have had three quadrants removed by a biological dentist, Dr. Michae=

field. I have the last to go on Monday -- only two. It has been challengi=

hi kathy

i agree with alice and lisa at night i too have this wind like noise and

other sounds

not knowing what it is is scary to a kid it's like when he was first

hooked up and would asks " what's that sound " i kinda think of it as the

absent of sounds lucky for me it's only when i take the processor off but

by then i'm tired so i go to sleep i take the processor off

just when i am ready to fall asleep .... maybe after reading in bed for a few

minutes when i can unwind then i take them off knowing i'll be asleep

soon

Kathy,

I am pretty sure you are right and that it's tinnitus. Is he drinking lots of

soda or eating salty food or maybe chocolate candy? This may be making it

worse.

Alice

[Guest guest]

Chocolate contains caffeine and sugars. That's why it is on the list, I

guess..

My tinnitis is worsened by stress, fatigue, and always by being in a high

stimulation area, crowds, and noise. Those seem to be the most consistant

agitators to my noisey head.

I've tried all different kinds of elimination diets and none works as well as

eliminating or at least cutting down on the exposure to stress, fatigue,

environmental noise and stimulation and crowded places.

Hi Kathy-- you guessed right that what is dealing with is Tinnitus--

what you can do is limit caffeine from soda, make sure that he doesnt eat lots

of sodium(salt.), try to maintain a stressfree environment. You can explain to

that what he is dealing with is tinnitus in words that he would

understand. They are phantom noises. I have a bad case of tinnitus but I try to

ignore it and it doesnt really bother me.

Hope that helps.

Hi Alice and

Thanks for your replies. We actually have a very low salt diet and

even though in the past have drunk a lot of soda (we call it soft

drink) as my husband used to work for the soft drink company, he

doesnt anymore so we rarely have that either. Chocolate however is

a different story. Is it all kinds of chocolate he needs to be wary

of ie icecreams and biscuits etc or just actual chocolate blocks?

He has been a bit funny about going to school lately. I have spoken

to the teacher and we feel as it is nearly holiday time he might be

tired.

I tried to explain to him what I thought it was but since I dont

really understand myself what it is like find it difficult to put

into words. Also is it something that will come and go or once you

have it is it there forever.

Thanks

Hi Snoopy & Kathy!

My HH son, 16, has been complaining about Tinnitis, too, even tho not officially

diagnosed. I read with interest about the caffeine and salt issue, and will

suggest to him to lay off all that caffeine-loaded Mountain Dew he thinks he has

to have!

Since I kicked my daily caffeine habit a few months ago, my

tinnitus settled down quite a bit,a s well as the headaches. I still

get an espresso drink now and then so I am able to survive. LOL

my tinnitus is not always the same i have noticed that when i am

stressed out or my day has been hectic that the tinnitus is worse when i take

off

my CI's at night i have found that going to bed with them on and reading

for awhile just to sorta unwind or go into slow gear has helped reduce the

loudness

kathy some chocolates are worse than others so i was told but i'm

trying hard to remember what " good " chocolate were that is if you

must have chocolate than these were better to pick from i have to look up

this list i know kids and chocolate are inseparable

at times let me see if i can find this list

Hey Pam,

You described me. If I am around a party or a bunch of people having a

great time I am miserable. When I get home and pull off my hearing aids I am

plagued with the high pitched whistling. (tinitus) This is why I avoid

parties and loud crowds at all costs. I do like to go on dates sometimes

with My Sharon. We try to pick restaurants we know won't be too loud.

When I was a teenager I would play loud music through the headphones, I

would have flareups every time. With today's music, it would be so easy.

Well thank you for putting up with my rambling. This old geezer is out of

here. Larry

[Guest guest]

In my case when I lack sleep or very hungry it's much louder.

Regards/

Jerome

[Guest guest]

I am stressed trying to hear my computer speech with the room air

conditioner going in the next room (no doors). How can I maximize hearing

with background noise? Have turned down volume and up sensitivity.

Use the TV patch cable or if you have an FM system, plug its

Hi, All,

Thought I would weigh in here on the tinnitus discussion. I've had it

all of my life, and like many of you, it comes in different forms. But it is

NEVER gone. In fact, since my CI surgery it has become louder and more

insistant. These days it sounds mostly like a heat vent or air conditioner

blowing out air continuously. I wake up sometimes with a high pitched sound

much

like that we hear on a hearing test, but sustained, not just for a second.

Over the years, I have experienced all of the things listed by so many of you.

But, did you know that when you hear music, if you sing the words to a song

you like, the music in your ear may actually conform? Try it, it really

works sometimes! LOL Of course, whatever song we hear, it is over and over

again. The one I hated the most was a commercial: " Aren't you glad you use

Dial, don't you wish eeeeverybody did!, Aren't you glad you use Dial?!! " Now

try to get that out of your head! LOL Anyway, as we all know there is no

cure. We can only do the " mind over matter " and hope it doesn't matter too

much! <get that?> I must warn you of one thing, however. Please take care of

where you are talking about the " voices in your head. " In today's society, if

overheard, it just might get you in a straight jacket or in jail! LOL

Hope it's a beautiful day out there for you all!

Hi Jackie;

It's fun to compare tinnitis notes.. I wonder how the brain decides what

material or sounds to use for tinnitis? Will we ever know? :-)

I worked in mental health and treatment hospitals all my life and now have a

great compassion for the mentally ill who hear voices or hallucinate.. Luckily

for me my voices are not intrusive thoughts but merely recordings of non

understandible verbage playing over and over.

I am glad to say they don't give me any messages or directions.. :-)

It is a pretty day here in Anchorage. At least the sun is out momentarily and

it has stopped raining (momentarily). Most of the time humidity is between

60 and 95% here!

Hi Flash,

You're gonna hate me! I can't resist but do you remember that

little ditty: " You'll wonder where the yellow went when you

brush your teeth with Pepsodent! "

....or the Alka-Seltzer jingle.
