I haven't found anything that helps the tinnitus in my left ear. In my right ear I can stop it by gently pulling my earlobe and holding it for 30 seconds or so, it is days or weeks before it starts up again.
I've tried all sorts of things for my left ear and some things will tone it down a little, ignoring it is the most effective, but that isn't always easy, it's like trying not to think of a blue elephant after someone tells you "Don't think of a blue elephant."
The one thing that has actually worked is acupressure, but not often. I have actually had a minute or two of no ringing, but I don't often get it right. I want to try acupuncture but it is so very expensive locally that I wouldn't be able to do it even monthly.
So I am always on the look for something that might work.
Nothing that is put in the ear has ever had the slightest effect on the tinnitus, no change in volume or tone at all. I don't get as much relief as I do from a bit of warmed olive oil when that ear is achy.
I play the violin and viola and I used to play bass or rhythm guitar in the family 50s band, so my ear may have been damaged by loud noise. I don't go to concerts without earplugs and I always cover my ears in windy or cold weather, I avoid anything that makes it worse as much as I can.
I am interested to hear what others have done. There are so many causes of tinnitus, maybe there's something out there that will work for me.
My other half is planning to make a pair of specificly tuned tubular bells, only a few cents different in Hz to produce a strong, slow binaural beat and we'll try treating my ear with one on either side of my head. He will be making tubular bells at the end of the month, maybe he'll have time to do those two for a late Christmas present for me.
Lol, think of it is making it so loud that I am distracted. I had to look up the abbreviation for hertz, which is somthing I type almost daily. sigh. Having a miniature megaphone standing on your shoulder squealing into your ear 24/7 does not make for a sweet disposition or a long attention span.
