Q: I'm not sure how to set the volume because I have the tinnitus in the left ear-not in the right And yes it does calm me down.

If you have tinnitus in only one ear, you can use just one headphone or adjust the balance settings on your player to use one side only. Using both headphones is also an option, but keep in mind that the volume of the pink noise should be set to the lowest possible level. Tinnitus should always be much louder than the background noise. You can download pink noise for free from this website, which I personally used and many others have had success with.

Q: How tinnitus diary helped you?

Every morning, I recorded the volume of my tinnitus in my tinnitus diary using sound therapy to measure it. As instructed in the book “I cured my Tinnitus”, I sat on my bed and adjusted the volume of noise to determine whether the tinnitus was stronger or weaker than the previous day. Over time, I noticed a downward trend in the volume of my tinnitus. Additionally, I recorded what I ate and drank the day before to identify any foods or drinks that made my tinnitus worse. By eliminating these items from my diet, I was able to reduce the severity of my tinnitus. I also started writing down the situations and people I encountered each day to further identify any triggers that worsened my tinnitus. This diary was a helpful tool in managing my tinnitus. Using the tinnitus diary given to me:

  1. Accurate daily measurement of the volume of my tinnitus,
  2. I have seen how the volume of tinnitus decreases over time, and the descending measured tendency has calmed me much, I have clearly seen that my tinnitus volume is decreasing and I am going to heal
  3. I exactly knew what increases and what decreases my tinnitus:
    1. What food,
    2. What drinks,
    3. Which situations,
    4. Which people.
  4. I did not need to check my tinnitus several times during the day because I knew exactly if my tinnitus was weaker or stronger than the day before.
 

By keeping a tinnitus diary, I was able to identify triggers that worsened my tinnitus and make lifestyle changes accordingly. I knew which foods and drinks to avoid and which to consume more of, and I also discovered that certain situations and people made my tinnitus worse. For example, roller skating caused my tinnitus to worsen, but consulting with a physiotherapist helped me correct my body posture and alleviate the issue. I also sought help from a psychologist to address psychological triggers, such as stress at work and trauma from childhood.

Checking my tinnitus volume every day helped me track its progress and adjust my therapy accordingly. By consistently using the diary, I was able to shorten my treatment from a year and a half to just nine months. For example, thanx to Tinnitu Diary I discovered that roller skating caused my tinnitus to worsen, but consulting with a physiotherapist helped me correct my body posture and alleviate the issue. I also sought help from a psychologist to address psychological triggers, such as stress at work and trauma from childhood. I encourage others to keep a tinnitus diary as well, as it only takes a few minutes a day and can lead to significant benefits. While I may not have been meticulous about recording every detail of my daily life, I made sure to include the most important information, such as any special meals, junk food, alcohol, and sweets that I consumed.
