Anyone successful in dealing with Tinnitus?


I have been experiencing ringing in my ears and think I may have it. Any recommendations?

I have a fair case of it myself, and while nothing makes the constant ringing lessen any, when I feel my eardrums and canal get itchy and inflamed, I use prescription ear drops that have Cortisone in it. There is also an anti-bacterial in it, so once you start using it, you should continue for the specified duration of time in the directions. They really help ease the itching and inflammation, it's also good to not listen too loudly, especially when inflammation is present, and maybe only listen at 85-90db's max at any time. If you don't already have one, get a Sound Level Pressure Meter so you can get an idea of how loudly you are actally listening.

Happy listening,
Dan
Unerdog - my wife had it for a while. MRI and other test showed nothing. It was only for about 6 months more than 10 years ago and never showed up again. We suspect that it was either stress at work place or large amount of water she drank (some stupid diet). Drinking too much water might have create some chemical unbalance but stress is more likely (I read about it).

Might have been a mild case of Hyponatremia.

AL - Thank you. I googled it with Tinnitus and found few articles showing link. I will tell my wife about it.

There was also diet recommended on internet to drink cold water because heating 1g of water by 1 degC burns 1 calorie. People drank very cold water in large quantities until somebody mentioned that food Cal=1000 calories.
I just wanted to report on some sucess! As I remember someone else posting earlier, "silk tweeters" etc... . This shouldn't be taken lightly!!! I recently changed speakers and amp. Both are noted for "smooth" sound. This has been a "revelation". I realize, everyone's situation is unique, but THIS MAKES PERFECT SENSE! My life is perfected by great sonics!
