Tinnitus 123
270 FOLLOWERS
This blog is for tinnitus sufferers, tinnitus researchers, and friends and family of tinnitus sufferers. The goal is to raise awareness about tinnitus and to promote ideas that may help to lead to a cure. There is no cure for chronic severe tinnitus that is caused by non-regenerative cochlear cell damage. However, there are ways to manage tinnitus and the secondary conditions that tinnitus causes.

This post is for tinnitus researchers. After watching the linked videos of Dr. Pollack's research you may want to consider whether or not the auditory system contains EZ water (a.k.a. The Fourth Phase of Water).
If the auditory system does contain EZ water then it may be acting more like a water pump, during electromagnetic radiation overexposure, and less like an air vibration-to-sound translation system (which is the auditory system's normal function).
I rarely recommend products on this site. I have to know the product will benefit the readers. This is a book that I highly recommend. It c ..read more

This is a link to the PBS News Hour report on tinnitus: A must see.
http://www.pbs.org/newshour/updates/science/july-dec13/tinnitus_11-06.html
The researchers in the report seem to not know how the damage happened to the basal ganglia. It's simple really. As F.G. Sulman described in 1980, it is electric air pollution (inhalation of positive ions) and overexposure to electromagnetic radiation. Select these links:

Print both of these articles out for side-by-side comparison. The results are astounding. I would venture t ..read more

The National Institute for Health determined that ozone producing ionizers are not a valid treatment for tinnitus and that no further research is suggested.
Although not scientifically proven, negative ionizers, anecdotally by many users, cause a more positive mood and better sleep. The problem is that some ionizers produce ozone which, when inhaled, can cause tinnitus and or worsen tinnitus in some people (according to F.G. Sulman). So, the user feels great but then the tinnitus starts or worsens, for some people.
Any ionizer has to be "negative ion producing" and "non-ozone producin ..read more

In 1980, Felix Gad Sulman was researching the biological effects of positive ions (a.k.a. electric air pollution) on humans. During his research he discovered that positive ions, when inhaled, travel through the blood stream via the alveoli in the lungs and cause a number of health issues.
On the way to the lungs the positive ions enter the nasal passages and this, according to Sulman, triggers the pineal gland to produce excess serotonin. Among the health issues that he lists as part of this serotonin syndrome is tinnitus.
He likely discovered a correlation between acute (short-term) tinnit ..read more

Perhaps you have severe chronic subjective tinnitus and you've gone to your eye doctor and noticed that when your pupils are dilated your tinnitus flares up or you experience a tugging sensation or a "vroom" sound from one ear to the other. It may surprise some people to know that the visual center of the midbrain (superior colliculus) is connected to the auditory center (inferior colliculus) of the brain.
If you experience a tugging sensation or your tinnitus gets worse it is okay to ask your eye doctor, the next time that you visit, to reduce the dilation solution to the minimal that he or ..read more

In my previous post I mentioned that what was formerly thought of as non-thermal and non-ionizing radar is wrong. These sources of electromagnetic cell, DNA, and neurological damage are likely internally thermal and therefore internally ionizing. The electromagnetic heat is generated within the human body after the hydrogen in H20 splits from H20 to H + OH. Since humans are comprised of a great deal of water it makes sense that there are biological effects. DNA is suspended in liquid and when the liquid ionizes it breaks the DNA apart.
Many scientists have debated the biological effects of wh ..read more

Some laser printers have been identified as having possible health risks associated with the emission of ozone that can be inhaled deep into the alveoli of the lungs and enter the bloodstream. This can create all kinds of acute and chronic health issues like respiratory problems, heart problems, central nervous system issues, behavioral changes, asthma, cancer, and tinnitus. The National Institute for Health has deemed laser printers to be genotoxic (e.g. DNA killers).
As far as I know, scientific researchers have not offered any specific information about a possible link between the ozone re ..read more

I tried a hyperbaric chamber yesterday for one hour. I was unaffected by the pressure. The tinnitus was as loud coming out of the chamber as it was when I entered the chamber. I do get some relief when I SCUBA dive in the open ocean and I am now even more perplexed as to why that relief happens in the ocean.
It is only logical that pressure or temperature would be the source of relief. I've tried ice vests, cold water, and now the hyperbaric chamber...I'm stumped. Perhaps the brain just shifts gears while diving. Perhaps the salt water environment somehow alters the brainwaves or EEG levels a ..read more

A noisy car, squeaky brakes, and traffic background noise can amplify subjective tinnitus and or hyperacusis. As a result, a long drive can be very difficult for people who suffer from these conditions.
Good news! According to Consumer Reports (April 2013) the automobile industry has begun to sell cars that have noise cancellation technology built-in. The technology is similar to modern noise cancellation headphone technology. Here is a list of vehicles that have the technology built-in.
Acura (ILX, RDX, and TSX)
Chevrolet Impala
Honda Accord
Crosstour
Odyssey
Cadillac
Lincoln
