Hi All,
I have not posted on here before but I read a lot. I have had tinnitus since the Spring of 08. I have been thru all the Dr. visits and tests many of you have been thru only to end up with the same conclusion as many of you. I need to learn how to cope. I have tried to believe it is age (menopause) related or an ear wash I had done professionally in 1 ear in 08...today I really don't care what caused it as I just continue to try to cope. It has gotten really loud. Coping is not going very well. A while back I fumbled across the website www.quietrelief.com. A product called Quietus. The reason I keep coming back to it is due to the different ICON's you can click on to hear different Tinnitus sounds. Is there a Dr. that really gets it? It is hard to believe there is after my MANY Dr. visits in the last 3+ years. I hear the shrieking buzzing noise on about a 6-7 scale I believe, in 1 ear (left). I have spent So MUCH $$$ on this I just can't bear the thought of putting more CRAP in my medicine cabinet.
Has anyone tried this?
Thanks for any input!

I listened to all of the sounds they have on the website. One of my noises is the shrieking buzzing noise. I have more than one noise in both ears most of the time. I can't hear their "high-frequency humming" at all.
The only other comment I have about their noises is this: They don't sound nearly as bad outside my head as they do inside my head.
Deny, I've had tinnitus for over a decade. At first I tried everything I heard about. It was all a waste of money. The only thing that has ever worked for me is ignoring it. I know that sounds impossible, but you'll get the hang of it eventually. I started by purposefully listening to other sounds -- any other sound -- music, TV, my computer hum, etc. I had a pillow speaker and I listened to classical music as I fell asleep. I'm a pro at ignoring my tinnitus now. I don't even notice it unless I listen for it.
I wish you the best of luck. I hope you learn to cope soon.
