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...

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...

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.

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...

Please keep the volume down when trying the test tones!

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 //...

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...

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...

Amen to that! Quote: Originally Posted by Gberg hm.. this little trick helps for a little bit. but now it makes me want to have that lack of ringing constantly!

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

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...

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...

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...

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.

Re-measuring with a-weighting, idle is below 50 db, and highway cruising and acceleration up to 55 mph is between 65 and 70 db. Right in line with Car and Driver's figures for newer cars! So, the auto mechanic was trying to rip me off.

I re-measured sound levels, this time with a-weighting, not c weighting. Idle is approx. 50 db. a weighted, and around town cruising is around 60 to 70 db, I think. So, the figures that car and driver are getting must be based on a weight decibel readings. Edit: yup! C/D magazine uses A...

Prevention's Healing with Vitamins Tinnitus Beta Carotene, which the body breaks down to Vitamin A, Vitamin B12 and Vitamin E are all supposed to alleviate symptoms of tinnitus. Gingko Biloba is supposed to assist with blood flow, which can potentially assist in alleviating tinnitus...

Well, I took the car to a mechanic. The shop mechanics seemed really confused. The first guy said there was a problem with the timing belt. The second mechanic said there was no timing belt. He thought it might be the timing CHAIN. The third said it was neither the chain nor belt, but the fuel...

Let's put it this way, if a car's interior noise level is 90 db, and earplugs reduce that by 20 db, there is plenty of noise to "alert" the driver at anytime. Also, a lexus, which is probably 10-15 db quieter than a regular passenger car gives the same acoustic attenuation as a pair of...

Piccolo, what do you drive?

Plus, my car is a bit older too: '98. Here are some values: 55 db outside car, quiet neighborhood 70-75 db at idle 80-85 db cruising at 35 mph 88-94 db at 65 mph, moderate traffic Although these are likely within normal range, it's still far from ideal. Also, about the numbers...

Holy Crap, Batman! I just took a pop of melatonin and the ringing has literally disappeared! Now, I can hear the buzz from my speakers, and the ring of the fluorescent lamp above ringing. Crazy. What works (in order of effectiveness): 1. melatonin 2. back of the head tapping 3...

Sheesh, I wish, man! is there a lexus in my future? Better yet, an electric car? Back to reality, I'm getting a mechanic to take a look on Monday....

No, this is a standard exhaust for sure. I guess I better take this in for a tune up.
