Do you suffer from tinnitus....

[davis31052]

and how does it effect your sleep habits while overlanding?

Personally, I have to have a fan or some way of making "white noise" to divert my brain away from the ringing. When dry camping my only source is ear buds, but then my brain focuses on the unusual feeling of that. A good dose of alcohol helps sometimes.

What is your remedy ?

I have tinnitus and use a fan or light music on a timer to help when it's quiet outdoors. I have heard that there are a few white noise apps that are for tinnitus but I haven't tried them. Alcohol is hit or miss for me, sometimes it makes it worse lol.

White noise, although I drink it, I don't know that alcohol actually helps anything.

Answer that phone....

I listen to music to get me to fall asleep, then I'm fine.

For me the ringing in my ears seems to go away when I am in remote places with no electronics.. The quieter the better..

I don't have it, but my wife and I bought a white noise machine off amazon, just cause we need that noise to stay asleep.

Mine must not be too bad. While I notice it when things are quiet, I guess I'm used to it and sleep normal.

Sleeping pills.

Music or podcasts to fill the "silence"

A cheap Walmart made in China fan that sounds like a C130 taking off at full power and a loose propeller....and sleeping pills. That and hearing aids during the day. I can tell you that alcohol actually amplifies it if you don't get to sleep right away. Good luck dude.

I take a lipo flavonoid supplement for mine. It is a pain taking the every day but the annoyance is worth the quiet.

What brand ? How long have you been taking this ? Thanks

 

[Red Beard]

I use the store brand from CVS pharmacy. I have been taking them for 4-5 years now.

Hey Red Beard....can you post the brand or a link? I'd like to see if they have that here in Canada.

I tried a flavonoid, don't remember the brand, and it didn't help me.

It's a good idea to get it checked out. I started really hearing it early this year and blamed it on Pioneer, Alpine and hair bands. Then, I started getting sick a lot. It turns out, I have really serious ear infections. I put it off so long there's some damage and I still haven't shaken the infection. I'm having an MRI and possibly surgery. Like I say, couldn't hurt to get it checked out.

Got f'd up in the sandbox bad, ended up with tinnitus but also lost over 50% of my hearing. Good for you Warren get yourself fixed up dude. Hearing aids aren't the same as the real thing. All the best to you.
