My doctor told me a long time ago, even if you think your T, is only on one side, you should always do both sides, at the same time.

Anybody just do thje white noise on one side only ??????????

No because if I put the white noise in my left ear only, where T is prominent, then I can hear it in my right ear....so I use both ear buds with the white noise. Also, the white noise only masks if I am having a medium day not high.

According to the TRT manual the T might move to the center of the head or other ear if only one gen is used..

It's funny that you bring this up. My tinnitus had been in my right ear only for almost 12 years and just a couple on months ago it has moved to the other ear. Now it's bad in both ears. Very strange.

Thanks for the update. I think I need to start doing TRT in both ears.

I think the balance of sound in both ears works better, for lowering the T.

I been doing the right ear, and it's on doing the job, the way it should be.

I think the brain reacts in a more positive manner, when the sound is being balanced in both ears.
