seriously though, check your trigger points around the neck and  head.

I will. I have tension headaches a lot, my neck cracks and pops when I roll my neck. I had a massage therapist tell me once that I had the most tension in my shoulders than anyone she had ever worked on... that could be a real problem. 
Thanks for the help. I could use a massage. "Love you long time"... J/K I've never been to an AMP... not going either.

If you suffer from muscular tension then you definitely want to look into a magnesium supplement. Magnesium is involved in the relaxation of muscles, while calcium deals with the contraction. If your mag/cal balance is off and you're getting too much calcium compared to magnesium, then you're going to suffer from tension. The best form is magnesium citrate. The oxide isn't particularly well absorbed. I use this stuff, Natural Calm. It's a little pricey, but worth it. Just read the reviews:

Very good tip Sharke - magnesium deficiency is causing many muscle problems like for instance cramps, but also mood problems, anxiety etc.
Citrate is good but for muscles pain and tensions magnesium Malate is better I believe.

I have read when you are hearing what sounds like a certain frequency the brain is in a sort of feedback mode and is locked onto that one frequency.

Try listening to either white or pink noise for about ten minutes. Not loud try 80 dB or less. Because noise contains all frequencies while you are listening to the noise, the brain looses track of the one frequency it was locked onto before. So when you turn the noise off you should find you are in silence now and not hearing anything or individual frequencies now. I suppose it depends on the type of tinnitus you have. It may only work for that very specific frequency type of tinnitus.

Ironically, my tinnitus tends to sound like white or pink noise... (not joking.)

so basically you're guys saying you hear voices?

Most tinnitus is either white noise or a lower tone like a sine wave. Although I once heard an audio file containing synthesized sounds which were meant to represent the full range of tinnitus noises as reported by sufferers. Some of them were weird indeed. Some were like airplanes taking off and some like jackhammers. 


There is a kind of tinnitus which has been attributed (how correctly I'm not sure) to things like cellphone waves. It's a sound not unlike the engine of a truck ticking over a couple of blocks away. I hear it sometimes, especially in the ear that's against the pillow. 

I think mine will improve once I move out because I won't have a cheap roommate requiring my to have fans going in my face all day.  I KNOW I hear that chopping noise in my head for a while afterwards...

I just remembered that I have a CD called "Samonas I - Sound Therapy" that is meant to help treat the condition.  I do recall using it and believe it had some positive effect, but this was a long time ago.  I still have it and will have to give it a try again.

here is the pink noise for relaxation:

Do you have the English translation version?  Clearly that pink noise is in Japanese...

I have it too but it coles akd goes. I really hear it wuen my allergies kick in and my ears fill with fluid. Just went to the doc for it and my ears have been ringing bad. I keep all volumes as low as possible on music and tv because Im trying to keep thE.damage to a minimum.

One odd thing .... i had to stop taking the antihystamines he gave me. I was hearing voices and it was driving me crazy. When i woupd go to sleep, i wouod dream, and i NEVER  dreal. The voices in my dreams were so loud they would wake le up. I read a bit of The Bible every nigjt before i sleep, I stopped taking it when I actually ueard Moses voice in my head. I onow how wierd this sounds guys, just being honest. I was watching cnn that night and i dreamed about one of the ladies who was ontv that night and her voice.was.so loud it scared me when i woke up. :(

I think poor circulation effects tinitus. Mine greatly subsides when i workout or im doing a lot of syrenuous work.

Sorry for spelling. Typing on cell and im npt good at it. grr.
