I've had this for years, I have just learned to live with it, I almost am able to forget its there sometimes. But if someone has a voice of a certain pitch I can't hear them unless I ask them to speak up. Then times when someone says something about it seems to get louder, like now....lol

Randy I think it was the rattle of your Harley that caused your problem. A goldwing would have saved you all this sound.LOL

commented 13 years ago

You know your right, but we worked on bikes in a metal shop and you should heard the roar of that V-twin in there.....lol

commented 13 years ago

Randy, I did alot of Research on Tinnitus. On one Forum a Woman wrote when she went to a Psychatrist
because of Depression and Stress, her Tinnitus
diappeared. I do no know what Drug he gave her, she did not say. She wrote this 2 yrs. ago.

commented 13 years ago

I'm on so many drugs now, don't want more.

If you do a search there is a site that will let you duplicate the sound on your computer so you can show others what you hear there is a small charge but it works.

Hearing the roar of that V-twin was good at the time but paying good for it now.

Sorry Leeroy. It has been a while since I asked that Question and have not checked on the answers.

This review concentrates on the effects of low frequency noise (LFN) up to 100 Hz on selected physiological parameters, subjective complaints and performance. The results of laboratory experiments and field studies are discussed in relation to the thresholds of hearing, of vibrotactile sensation and of aural pain. The effects of LFN may be mediated trough different ways.

Thanks Leroy. I did read the study on college students. This is to prevent Tinnitus in the first place by wearing protection. Unfortunately for people who already have Tinnitus, there seems to be no cure as of yet.

Randy I know about the certain pitches that you talk about. W have certain machines at work that can reach that pitch every now and then, People don't know why my mood changes almost instantly from good to bad but it really drives me nuts when that happens.

Low frequency vibrations are use by HAARP, did you see the harp questions we had?

Supposedly this effects the human brain a some level, could be why peoples moods change with certain frequencies. Interesting stuff.

commented 13 years ago

Ill look harp questions up, yes interesting

commented 13 years ago

HAARP could be part of the problem, after doing more research. I wonder what else they are doing without us knowing about it.

Interesting Ann, I have a slight ringing in my ears that sometime is more noticeable, but mostly I just learned to ignore it. I'm sure it's worse for other people who have a more serious case than I do.

Thanks for looking into something that will hopefully help quite a few people, that's generous of you.

Do you really believe the Government is covering up?

commented 13 years ago

US is producing some 560 million pages of classified information a year. That's over 1,500,000 per day, doesn't sound to up front with the people. If we're really under such threat wouldn't it benifit the people to know what we're up against. How much power could be achieved by keeping so many secret? Yes, I think when a figure head is elected he goes in a room full of thugs and is told what agenda he will be pushing or else and then starts getting scripts from think tanks full of people who get their thinking points from other think tanks that are working 50 to several hundred years out. There are alot of very smart people contrary to the govt. heads that keep the masses divided by pointing fingers and waving flags. Nothing has happened by accident for thousands of years. There are many dry boring books no one reads that have been writen by many of the actors that contributed their part through secret societies throughout history to move the people in to this pen. The first thing they had to do is invent money so they could form armys. That's the lock on their power. Now (most) people couldn't live without it. Those cultures that still dont need it at this point are being drawn in by shinny cool objects (sure, a better life for their family, move off the land, stores right down the street, kids can go to school and be programmed how not to "critical think") or bombed into a McDonalds buying culture by their new masters for total world control. After a few generations people no longer know how to do things for themselves. Think of all the things your grandparents knew how to do that have been lost. People have been dug from the earth and domesticated. The knowledge of nature their ancient ancestors possessed has been hidden away for their masters use only little by little. Tired of typing...Thanks for asking Ann

commented 13 years ago

I agree with you. 30 years ago I never heard of anyone having Tinnitus. Chemicially altered crops, Microwaves and Chemtrails are causing diseases we never heard of before. They are downsizing the population!

You are one in 2 Million People who suffer from Tinnutus.As long as it does not interfere with evereything you do,its just an annoyence. There is no cure as of yet. Someone told me, Melatonin has helped him alot, just recently. But My Friend has not tried it yet and will let you know when he does. He has a severe case of Tinnitus, that interferes with his life on a daily basis like moodswings on and off. They do advertise Tinnitus Miracle and Quietus for curing Tinnitus, but is never helped anyone that I know of.

Ramos, most people think its exposure to loud noise. It is a medical condition that no one knows how to fix it. My friend tried everything. Nothing worked. Its a desperate situation. Some people have it so bad, that they had to quit theire jobs. Until they find something that really works, its just an experiment right now. So sorry you are inflicted with.

Randy, when one of my sons was a teenager, he constantly listened to loud music and later on worked on machines and he does not have Tinnitus. The young people today are constantly exposed to noise, playing Videogames, listen to loud musik and TV. Tinnutus may become an epidemic in the near future.

I didn't get it until I was in my 50s.

I am blessed with the Tinnitus problem too. Don't think loud music etc. is stated to be one of the causes. My understanding is that loud music can lead to hearing loss. Not Tinnitus. But I'm not an expert. I've heard that there are several suspects that are involved including high blood pressure.

Yes, the have mentioned high blood pressure, Also not to drink alcohol.
