Tinnitus Sounds
« on: March 08, 2008, 06:17:21 pm »
Hey all
I've mentioned this before and I finally found it -- a website that has some typical tinnitus sounds. 
http://www.neuromonics.com/patient/treatment/index.aspx?id=50
There is not much that I am aware of that gets rid of it.  But it helps when other people know what you are dealing with.  I played these sounds for those close to me and they were a little more understanding.  It helps.
Have a good evening.

That was brilliant, both of my tinnitus sounds were there and I can't wait to play them to my family. Thanks

David:

Thanks for the link.  As I expected, 'my' tinnitus sounds were there (whooshing).  My wife is sympathetic to my dealing with tinnitus but I don't mention it very often as it is relatively minor and doesn't really cause a problem for me.  Amazing how we can adjust to almost anything.  However, I appreciate having a sound she can hear to gain a better understanding of what living with tinnitus is like.

4.5 cm AN diagnosed 5/06.  Retrosigmoid surgery 6/06.  Follow-up FSR completed 10/06.  Tumor shrinkage & necrosis noted on last MRI.  Life is good. 

Life is not the way it's supposed to be. It's the way it is.  The way we cope with it is what makes the difference.

Thanks David:  my tinnitus is closest to the 1st & 4th sounds.

Someone else had posted it awhile ago,   I'm glad you also found & posted it.

Always good thoughts,  Nancy

That wasn't very pleasant. I'm glad my tinnitus is mild enough on most days to not present too much of a problem because on the bad days it's bad.

By the way, I think I've had all of those at one time or another.  Right now mine is somewhere between #1 and #2, but I definitely also had something similar to #4 on occasion and #7 right after surgery. #7 was brutal.  The only one I haven't had is number #5.
