Tinnitus - do you have ringing in the ears?


I just read that an Audiogon member is selling a pair of speakers because of Tinnitus - ringing in the ears.

I have Tinnitus in both ears, one worse than the other, but I have learned to live with it.

Do you suffer from Tinnitus? Do you know of a treatment that has had successful results?

Thanks

What worked for me: I have Tinnitus Tamer for Mac (PC versions available) and can say that it works if you stick to a few minutes a day. I recorded the tones as WAV files, added them to iTunes, and play them a few times whenever I put my headphones on. It's not annoying, yet, it doesn't seem to work if I play them on speakers and it doesn't work "for good". (And playing these thru a good set of speakers may just damage glassware.)

BTW- my tinnitus was considered moderate by an audiologist and had been prescribed Clonpin (sp?) for it which worked moderately and only for a short run of months. I can say that the drug minus the tinnitus made for a good listening mood, but wasn't something that I felt I could work my best while on.
