Tinnitus FAQs #3 – How to Get Complete Tinnitus Relief

Tinnitus FAQs #2

Frequently asked questions about tinnitus sound therapy, diet and tinnitus diary

Q: Do I have to listen to pink or white noise every day for 8 hours? What if, for example, one day I will listen 5 hours, another 4 hours, and the next 10 hours? (Over the weekend, I have more time to listen to it)

You can listen less then 8 hours, but do not listen more 8 hours. In time try to manage your day, so you can listen approximately 8 hours a day.

Q: Can I skip a day, or two? (For example, for two days on a raft). What will happen if I miss one day?

Yes you can. For example, skipping one day has no effect on therapy. Important is what you do regularly, not occasionally.

Q: What headphones do I need to use?

Please refer to this article about recommended sound therapy devices.

Q: Can I listen to a pink noise even when I have no hyperacusis?

Yes, you can. It is equally effective as White Noise. You can download Pink Noise for free here.

Can I hear pink noise on the speaker overnight - somewhere near my head? Will it be a partial replacement for tinnitus sound therapy?

No. At night for better sleep, use sound enrichment. I described it in detail in the book – I cured my Tinnitus.

Q: What is more important? Diet or sound therapy?

Both, and in my case, stress relief was a big part of the complete tinnitus relief.

Q: Using your technique in the book, I arrived at a volume setting of 9 where I could hear no pink noise, but tinnitus. However, the pink noise at 10 is just detectable, and I mean just. Am I right in understanding that I should stay on 10 rather than upping it one to 11?

A: Yes, at this case please stay at volume level 10.

Hi Peter I bought your book and it is very helpful. I was wondering if I could play pink noise through a Bose speaker - ie at night and during the day - instead of listening to it with an MP3 player and headphones. I find pink noise calms me down a lot. Thank you for all your help.

It is recommended to use an MP3 player for TRT therapy. Pink noise has two benefits: it can help calm you down, and when used with an MP3 player and headphones, it can also help break fixation on tinnitus. In my case, my tinnitus changed over time with the use of pink noise and as it helped calm me down, I was eventually cured and the volume decreased to a non-audible level. Using an MP3 player can also help you keep track of your tinnitus diary and support your recovery. It’s important to only listen to pink noise during the day, as your brain needs to rest at night. For sound enrichment, you can use pink noise through your speakers.
