    Alleviate Symptoms of Tinnitus

    I'm tired of dealing with this alone. I am now a member of the American Tinnitus Association. I simply sent in a $35 donation which makes me a part of a national network of people and resources in a common cause. You don't have to go it alone; please donate and join now if you are suffering...

    UFC Discussion

    Lesnar was much bigger than Couture, but the weight difference Lesnar and Herring or Lesnar and Mir was not as pronounced. Herring weighs in at 250 and Mir at 255; both were destroyed by Brock's strikes pretty easily, even though the weight differential was only 10 or 15 lbs. Brock is simply a...

    Alleviate Symptoms of Tinnitus

    The thing is, if it relieves the problem, even if momentarily, then there has to be a causal mechanism. It's a matter of discovering what that causal mechanism and extending it's benefits.

    UFC Discussion

    Lesnar is a true heavyweight. He weighed in at 276 on the day of the fight, only 11 lbs. heavier than during weigh-in. Also, he weighed 265 months prior to the fight during his normal training. Quote: Originally Posted by pne Frankly I can't stand Brock Lesnar and the direction the...

    How High Can You Hear? And How Old Are You?

    My hearing is only good up to about 15 khz or so, and I can only hear that tone somewhat faintly. I would have to turn up the volume past halfway: http://ia301125.us.archive.org/0/ite...z_audacity.wav Here's another test: Mosquito Tone Test, or How To Tell You're A Young'un //...

    Musical Information Above 13 Khz?

    I'm starting to believe the argument that there is important information above 13 khz. I think it's more of a sense of "air" or dimension than anything else. I think it lends a dimension of spatiality and makes things sound more three dimensional. I am really concerned as I know so many...

    Alleviate Symptoms of Tinnitus

    I brought this up in another thread, but for me, massaging my temples above my ears works wonders. I will simply knead the tips of my fingers against my temples from top to bottom, repeatedly, as many times as necessary to reduce any extraneous noise. It is highly effective. My theory is that...

    Can't even hear the "extraneous" noises at all right now. Amazing.

    Alleviate Symptoms of Tinnitus

    I am hearing less "extraneous" noises than before. I believe this coincides with several factors. First, I am supplementing. All of the following are supposed to alleviate symptoms: 1 vitamin a and e (a in beta carotene form) 2. gingko biloba 3. melatonin 4. magnesium I am avoiding...

    Musical Information Above 13 Khz?

    Currently, I am still at the same state; I can hear up to 15 khz, albeit I have to turn up the volume a bit: http://ia301125.us.archive.org/0/ite...z_audacity.wav I decided to go to a nightclub last evening, but only stayed for about half an hour, before I decided the music volume was too...

    Alleviate Symptoms of Tinnitus

    Yeah, as someone said, over the counter. Very inexpensive at Costco. Here's a webmd link on melatonin: Melatonin Pills May Help Ease Tinnitus I have not encountered any evidence to suggest that melatonin as a supplement leads to addiction or dependence in any way. Quote...

    Holy Crap, My Car Is Loud!

    The mini tuneup I had (air filter change, oil change) has done quite a bit of good. Freeway driving is down to 85 db. Idle is as low as 65 db. Keep your car tuned up, and it will treat you right.
