@Dizzyleigh you mentioned in another post about your tinnitus coming and going, and I wanted to let you know, that mine never goes away. I have it during all my waking hours. I probably have it through my sleep too, but I have no way to know that for certain. Most of the time my brain filters it out. It’s there, but I don’t notice it unless I read about tinnitus or hear it mentioned in a conversation or on the TV. then it ramps up to its worst. Right now it sounds like ten old B&W Television sets. If you find something that works to neutralize the tinnitus, be sure to let me know. I’ll try anything that doesn’t put my remaining hearing at risk ---

I recently read this article in AARP about a treatment for tinnitus. Its not a cure. Its not medication. The article says that people with hearing loss can safely use it. I haven’t tried it myself because I do like you do and just try to tell my brain to ignore the noise. Mine sounds exactly like your description. Here’s the link to the article: > **[New Tinnitus Treatment Helps Many Who Suffer From Ringing in the Ears](https://nowapp.aarp.org/content/aarpe/en/home/health/conditions-treatments/lenire-new-tinnitus-treatment.now.html)** > > A recently approved method using mild electrical pulses helps retrain the brain to ignore buzzing in the ears and other phantom noises ---

I’ve heard of the Lenire device before, but the last I had heard, it was still in the certification process with the FDA. Now that it’s been approved, maybe Medicare will cover it soon. At the moment though, “The $4,000 device is covered by the Veterans Administration but not by private health insurance or [Medicare](https://nowapp.aarp.org/medicare/faq/does-medicare-cover-hearing-aids/ "medicare hearing aids"), says O’Neill.” I don’t know about you, but $4,000 is a deal breaker for me. ---

I agree. I must have missed the $4K! ---

My tips: - a full nights sleep - low stress - no alcohol - no dessert - no caffeine Too little sleep really magnifies my tinnitus something crazy. ---

> [@turnitaround](#): > > My tips: > > - a full nights sleep > - low stress > - no alcohol > - no dessert > - no caffeine Since retirement, stress is a distant memory, I don’t drink, and I sleep as long as I want and I’ve already cut the caffeine due to my heart doctor’s demands but I draw the line at no dessert. Life is no fun without desert, I’ve compromised by cutting out the chocolate deserts (no caffeine). My tinnitus doesn’t seem to care what I do. For three years, I was on a strict diet that dictated everything I ate. No caffeine, no chocolate, no sugar. Lots of vegetables, protein and a modest amount of grain. I lost 100 pounds in 12 months, but my tinnitus wavered nary a bit. I was getting good sleep, and my stress was low. The doctors cannot tell me why I lost my hearing, or why I now have tinnitus, only that the two seem to be connected since they happened at the same time. My hearing turned off one day at lunchtime as if someone flipped a switch, and the tinnitus turned on in its place, along with a wave of nausea that prevented me from eating lunch. The mysterious roots of the whole thing makes me wonder if my tinnitus is even treatable by any means.
