Tinnitus Support Group

I wanted to put this out there in case it could help someone else. I've only had tinnitus about a month in my right ear, but have tried everything i could as fast as i could. I believe that the longer you have it the harder it is to fix, therefore i went on a mission. My doctor, ent, and audiologist said my hearing and everything was good (yes, i saw all three within a month). I also tried lipoflavonoids, clear tinnitus, mega vitamins, and many many supplements and herbal remedies. I didnt try any of the internet miracle remedies like t-gone, bannish tinnitus, etc... I don't trust them. Also, I couldnt afford neuromonics for $5000, so I downloaded a tone generator online. I set it to the tone I was hearing and it seemed to stop the noise in my ear for a short time. I immediately noticed a difference. I now sometimes wear it when i sleep with the tone cycling on/off in 5-15 sec phases. The tone generator was from http://www.esseraudio.com/ttg.htm and has a 30 day free trial period. I tried it after another blogger said he did the same thing, except he mixed the tone in with soothing music. I didnt try it with the music because i don't know how to mix the two. Also, i've only used it about a week now, but I notice a huge improvement. I'm noise free about half the day, and when i do hear noise it is not as loud. when i first listened to the tone generator, the noise in my ear would go away for a short time then return after about 20 or 30 secs. then i would listen again to the tone generator and it would go away again, i did this over and over again. then i started listening to it while i slept, setting it to cycle on/off every 5-15 secs. this was the first time i was able to sleep somewhat normally. Like i said i've only used it about a week, but have had excellent results in a very short time. I'm not sure of the mechanism in which it works, but it seems to completely interupt the noise in my ear, initially for a short time, but then longer the more you use it. I would strongly encourage anyone with tinnitus to try this. also, this particular tone generator you can try for free for 30 days. You just cant save the tone to a file. I bought the tone generator(about $30) so i could save the tone and play it on my ipod. I looked for a free tone generator online but wasnt able to find one. If anyone finds one thats free they can post it here so everyone can use it. I hope everyone tries this, because i know how horrendous the sound can be and i think this will help tremendously. Sorry this is so long...good luck everyone.
