I’ve got crickets too. Had them for years now...
I know a TON about iodine supplementation. I love iodine. I don’t believe it will cure tinnitus though as I have that and I take at least 50mg per day.
You can’t get enough iodine in food because of the toxins we take in that compete for iodine so you really have to supplement with it and you have to take mgs not mcgs
I can’t remember not having ringing in my ears. The thought of being able to experience quiet is intriguing. I wonder if the lack of constant high-pitched noises would help with my tendency to cringe or jump at certain types of noises. It would be very nice to find out someday.
Same here. I have had it for 40 years..........................
Some medications also cause ringing in the ears as I've come to learn the last month.
Nerve pain medications can also cause ringing in the ears. I take elavil for neuropathy related nerve pain in my feet and shortly after my dosage was upped I started hearing this loud siren in my left ear. Ironically, elavil is also recommended to relieve nerve pain. Go figure.
I’ve recently read that many people develop the ringing in the ears because they are grinding their teeth at night - though I’m not sure how THAT would be treated, only the negative impact minimized.
That is terrible. I really hope they find a way to get rid of this.
What is magnesium oil and where would I get it?
I’ve had tinnitus my whole life. Found a trick on the internet where you cover your ears and tap the back of your head. It works; each time basically reduces the magnitude by an order of ten, so if it’s really bad I might have to do it twice. Pretty amazing.
you can get it at amazon or swansonvitamins.com or vitacost.com
it’s called magnesium oil but it’s not actually an oil, its just pure mag chloride.
my husband soaked his feet and the PF went away. let me know if you have more questions.

’m perfectly fine with it, as I can’t hear it anyway over the loud rock music.
Actually, I have it too. I went to a doctor about it a long time ago and he basically said, “ignore it” and I eventually did. If I stop and listen for it I can hear it, but except when I’m thinking about it, like now, I don’t hear it at all.

Yep, that’s the trick. It seems like I’m guessing what youthis is just recalibrating the noise floor for what gets filtered out as noise/signal. For whatever reason, over time the brain is permitting perceived signals of high frequency, modest amplitude to be perceived; the trick seems to recalibrate, so everything that should be filtered out gets filtered normally again.
I was thinking about inventing some kind of strap-on device that would do the same thing, automatically, programmable to your needs, to tap you in the back of the head for as long as you need it..............B^)
I read that on the Internet so it must be true!
Seriously, I have read that at least a correlative relationship has been reported (in a few medical journals). A few ENT's I've visited also believe this. Myself, mine started after many years of using full strength aspirin almost daily for chronic headaches.
Curiously since starting the medication I'm taking now to help with the tinnitus, my chronic headaches have disappeared. So maybe there's some link there. (sadly my tinnitus hasn't but it's at least reduced somewhat.)
Helped a little. Every bit is appreciated. Thanks.
This was known before the transistor was invented, much less the Internet.................
