Ok guys. I ran the program 6 times.

It's weird sounds coming from MARS

Seriously, the sounds are something, I have never in my life heard before.

Everytime I run the program, it does quiet my tinnitus down.

But, tinnitus is still there. It seems that everytime I use it, it seems to make my tinnitus a little bit more quiet.

I think that you need to keep running this program for like several months, before it really takes effect.

I wrote to the doctor, and ask him a few questions.

The speakers sound excellent, with the noises coming out of my I Touch

In the old days, we use to run TRT over are Tinnitus, with white noise generators.

These days, they say to run the white noise under your Tinnitus.

The reason for this, is that they believe that it's more theraputic
to the mind, to run your white noise at a level that your mind will get use to, over a period of time.

So once you are habituated, your T, won't come back.

If you run the white noise over your T, they feel that what you are doing, is drowning out the T, and if you do habituate, they say there is a chance, the T can come back.

When I said you need to match your T, I am not talking about the volume, I am taking about blending the white noise sound, with your T.

Anyway, I feel that I like the older day methods. Go above the T for a while, to bring down the volume, and then lower the sound, and run the white noise even with your T.

I have to agree with the guy posting above me. I've been taking Piracetam to help me with school and staying attentive, and I've noticed that it's caused the ringing I've been experiencing for the last 3-4 years to be severely reduced. I started hearing the ringing after going to an outdoor electronica music festival, and I initially dismissed it as just minor ear damage, it wasn't until it had persisted for a year and a half that I started to get worried. I tried taking anti-biotics because I was misinformed that it was due to an ear infection. When that didn't help I gave up, and just stopped putting my ears in situations where they would be subject to noises that might cause the ringing to come and linger for a few days.

I started taking piracetam before finals (around late November '11) and I didn't notice until like a month and a half in that I wasn't hearing the ringing noise as often. I haven't heard the ringing for a while, and I've been taking piracetam daily (around 2,400 mg a day).
