Or has this been merged to a prior thread and I'm just being thick?

It was a merged into a previous thread about Tinnitus.


What are you talking about with highlighting the word and all that? You sure that isn't a spell checker or something?

I've heard that Kevin Shields doesn't use ear plugs... he'll be deaf before he completes that new album.

If you do have chronic tinnitus which bothers you when it's time to sleep or other situations when it's quiet around you, send me a PM and I can send you my small library of ambient soundscapes. These are just recordings of rain, waves on beaches, sitting on the train etc. and can be used to help you ignore or help you train your brain to ignore the sound from your tinnitus .. Of course, it'll never go away as long as it's real quiet, but enriching your environment with sound can help.

I don't use them much anymore, but I did find them quite useful when it bothered me more.

how long do your ears have to be ringing for before you know you have it?

i've used earplugs at every show i've been to for the past year or so, besides one on monday (i forgot them) and my ears have been ringing since.

That's hard to say as it's not simply a matter of having ringing ears or not. Suffice to say most people will hear sound if they are in a quiet room. Tinnitus is what you have if this sound bothers you, possibly because it's louder than the sounds other people have in their heads. However, habituation is an important factor in this. Reacting in a negative way to the sound may worsen it while "ignoring" the sound over time will potentially reduce it's strength back to levels where it's normally ignored by the brain.

Basically, sound is picked up by sensory cells in the ears and then transmitted through the limbic system in the brain where, to illustrate, you could say the sound is given a tag indicating it's importance - f.ex if it's a dangerous "important" sound or a harmless "non-important" sound. The sound from the refrigerator can be just as high as the ringing in your ears, but most people don't notice this sort of stuff because the sound is not important. Thus, the brain tries to filter it out. People who have a starting annoyance with ringing in their ears should realize the importance of this. Basically, ringing in your ears can be habituated and you won't mostly won't notice it unless you're someplace quiet.

Anyone who believe they may have starting tinnitus need to read about TRT, Tinnitus Retraining Therapy!

I've been suffering from tinnitus for the last two months. It drives me crazy. Time passed since this topic was created, and I wonder whether there are ways to get rid of ear ringing.

luckily I'm able to tune out drones by nature, but I'm sure that in a few years left untreated I'm gonna notice it a whole lot more than now

I'll check that dictionary, but in the meantime I'm impressed - as is everyone else in the world - by your eloquence, obvious accomplishments and success, and the evidence of your blazingly high intelligence.
