1. In Korean tinnitus is called 이명증 (耳鳴症). I think it's  耳鳴り (みみなり) in Japanese.

2. I'd rather stick to stuff that is known to help, instead of relying on placebo. Maybe white noise can help?

edit: Oops! I thought you were Japanese because your nickname was Niwatori. Sorry...

I had also tinnitus for about six months and I thought that I am going to have it forever but luckily disappear. Try to hear some noises always to mask it, like aircondition or pc fans.

Be well soon!

I doubt that you can do much with pharmaceuticals. What you need to try is mental training, to make the tinnitus seem less dramatic and overpowering. I don't want to downplay the seriousness of your tinnitus, but right now it seems as if it is dominating your thinking. If you can get away from that, accepting the tinnitus as "just another" background noise, your brain will ignore it one day. However, if you have all the negativity of the world associated with the tinnitus, you are unable to ignore it. So you need to have a more relaxed relation to it. If you have a stress situation where the tinnitus seems to get worse for you, you need to realize that and see if you can avoid them in the future or how you can handle them differently.

As Pri3st said, background noise definitely helps by reducing the contrast between the tinnitus and the silence. However, it should not be so loud that it masks the tinnitus completely, because you can only get used to a noise when you can still hear it. But a good rule seems to be, stay away from silence. Always have a little background noise. When you are outside, it can work to conciously focus on the background noises; the wind, the birds, people talking and working.

Maybe you also need to find a good doctor, perhaps in a bigger city. Those tinnitus-counseling sessions can really make a difference, they say. Especially for someone like you, who seems to have lost all hope. From mental training alone (giving less importance to the tinnitus, concentrating on other noises, and the hope that it can become better), you can get a definite improvement. The tinnitus, no matter how severe, can be mentally defeated, meaning the subjective loudness can really decrease a lot.

I don't know if you can achieve the best result on your own, but i would definitely try it. You really need to put an end to all the negative thoughts. You need to ask yourself if you want to let the tinnitus rule your life, or if you can make it less important for yourself.

And don't give up on finding a doctor. If one doctor doesn't know it, go to another one.

I am sorry for your hearing problems, i hope that i could "get the stone rolling" even with my limited knowledge about tinnitus. But remember, your mental state towards the tinnitus, your mindset, it can make a huge difference in the end. More than any drugs can do.

CiTay is right about the mental training. I have severe tinnitus for seven years now because of an acoustic neuroma that was removed in 2000. Since then, I have noise in my left ear all the time. Sometimes I don't even notice it, other times - especially at night - it is really annoying. I've learned to think about something else when I start to notice the noise and that distracts me. Unfortunately, there isn't anything else I can do because the tinnitus and deafness is caused by the damaged nerve and is not related to blood pressure or stuff like that. Maybe you can look for a specialist in a larger town, otherwise try to focus on other things and "ignore" the tinnitus.

Thanks You Very Much Friends.....

.. it too bad like in my homeland don't have spacial doctor for this case.... ( I living in Bangkok ... at Thailand )

i go around and try everything i can do even " Hospital that only for Ears " can't do anythings with it... ( that make me cry and back to find out about it ... everything .. ( that time i don't know it was called " Tinnitus " but i remember in Hydrogen Forum we ever talk about it ... and that time i readed and think " Hey i don't have anything wrong with my ears ... not important for me... ... i never dream it will be me... yes here now Tinnitus in my ears ring my brain... )

masker can help me to sleep thanks about it ... but seem my brain still can't forget about noise maybe need a times...

this noise very loud ... puretone 6.5khz and 14-15khz like ( well at real of sadly for me  it seem i forgot about how sounding of hi-frequency... hi-hat , or the harpsichord...  my pc , sound's gears right now for nothing... i can't mastering again... ( i know now it was real i can't hear it... all..... , lol right now it's really nothing to me about 16khz of mp3 and full 22khz of mpc , ogg this is only good things to me... ( anyway for now it's tons of Phone , Players that can Play Ogg format. )

and too bad for Noise it's same level of my both but for Hearing Loss.... my Left ear is gone off ( the cut is about 2.2-2.4khz... ( i havn't test my ears for years because i can't leave the real ) ( can't use Phone , or Talk with People if i try to close my Right ear....) and ... i can't go around with bike ... again... ( it seem i alway hear every things only from my Right ... my friend talk to my in the Left of me but i turn my head to the right because i heard his voice from right ... but will be big problem when i riding my bike on the road... ok good now i go aroud the town by bus.... )


i don't know how to tell level of noise... but  it very loud....

the noise in my both ears... it strong even more than my guitar amp... ( i feel like i'm in jail... ) but it's good i still possible to talk with people ( thai's language don't use more high frequency for words ( no Z , C , S ... that i can't hear very well right now )

thanks you everyone.... but i still hope for chance on someday maynot too soon but i will be living for the way to cure this curse....

it will be good if i don't really like musics... and being Guitarist.... too bad i can't test codec or abx now... still remember the times.

i just wanted to say i hope the best for you and all music lovers suffering from tinnitus and similar hearing problems.  i know i'd rather go blind than to suffer from that.

i hope you can over time learn to mentally ignore the noise, or at least mentally diminish it a bit.

good luck!

It's years passed ...

I still having Tinnitus it still same level of loudness my ears is in same condition I couldn't hear higher frequency never better ...
I took lots of medication during the first 3-4 years quit booze and coffee cola ... going low sugar / salt
Take lots of vitamins (3 months use it and stop 2 months repeat cycle) also many herb (like Ginkgo biloba I ate them both seed and leafs I used boiled leafs with water and drink it everyday instead of normal water)

After all those hard tried ... nothing improved only my mind is felt very bad I can't being my self ....
I decided to live normal again to regain my joy in everything as can I ...

I start to listen music again now louder loud enough to I can felt good (at first I scared to destroy it for more but .. with my anger I have to let it out)

back to play guitar drink more coffee ... enjoy spicy food again ... (I know this is bad thing but it makes me feel better after all bad years)

Enjoy playing game over the night I tried everything to be me again who I used to be ... (except I no longer can processing sound ... since I have no ears to hear it ...  but sometime I use my eyes instead (thanks experienced) but I know that is not good even I tried the best I can)

While I'm typing this ... Noise in my ears still loud like engine and it never stop ... even once ... except when I'm dreaming ...

I changed how I thinking about them ... I think it's my friend, you maybe laugh at this but ... in the reality I have to live with it ...
I have to accept the truth because I already done what I can do to find the way to cure it ...

and I have just only " one life " I have to live with it ... so I have to accept and think how I can live with this ...
" Enjoy it " that is what I think ... actually it's not funny as I wanted it to be but It help me a lot when I can accept it as friend...

sometime I just close my eyes and Imagine I'm in the jungle (I used to live in jungle while I serve land as soldier this noise sound like cicadas maybe million of cicadas lol)

I'm not given up if I have chance to cure it I'll take it

but for now I have to live my life use all my time to be me ...

I wish this not happen to all of you
it really worst nightmare for everyone who love to hear the sound clear who like to listening to silent ...

now silent is only in my mind

Thanks for reading this...
