Subject: tinnitus - Tgone medication advice!
Hi,
I have tinnitus from noise damage and have had insomnia for about 9 years now due to tinnitus. I also suffer from associated hypercusis.
I was looking at the 2 products:
1) tinnitus Tgone from noise damage
2) 2 step process for tinnitus
I would like to try some T-gone products. Which ones do you recommend? Should I get relief after 3 months worth?
Thanks,
Steve
Hello Steve
The two products are actually designed to work in conjunction with each other. The noise tinnitus remedy is formulated to relieve tinnitus from cochlear damage and the 2 step product will compliment that and also help you to sleep at night - without any prescription medications. It will also dramatically boost your immune system which is a majorproblem with most tinnitus sufferers precisely because of the insomnia. It is indeed recommended that you get the 3 month supply of both products in which time you are almost certain to experience tinnitus relief.
Hope this helps!
Regards
John

Subject: Tinnitus diagnosis
I have read a lot of the material on your website and in your e-mails. You emphasize the importance of understanding the cause of the tinnitus. I am trying to decide which is the most likely cause in my situation and am wondering if you can help.
My problem started in March 2006. I was sick with a cold/flu-like illness which made me achy and sore and also caused some congestion and irritation in my head and throat. Since then my tinnitus has gradually worsened and is probably 5 times as loud as originally. I have a long history of both sinus problems and depression/stress which could contribute to the problem.
My sinus headaches are almost always on the left side of my head, and my tinnitus is also in my left ear only. Most of the time it has just been the ringing noise, but recently I also am getting more clicking or popping sounds. The ringing has been constant ever since it started. It varies somewhat, but has generally gotten worse as time has gone on.
My best guess is that my problem is related to my sinus congestion, but I'm wondering if you could tell me what you think. I have tried so many things before that didn't work, so I want to make a good decision now. Thanks so much!

Hello Dan
Although the root cause of your tinnitus is almost certainly from sinus it is also very likely that in your case you also have cochlear damage resulting from sinus infections in the middle ear - this is very common amongst sinus sufferers - but
I would be willing to bet that in March 2006 you also had a inner ear infection that caused cochlea damage. That is what is causing the ear ringing sounds you are hearing.
The clicking and popping sounds are very likely sinus induced.
I would therefore recommend that you take both the sinus tinnitus remedy as well as the noise tinnitus remedy in conjunction with in each other. This is a very successful and popular combination of remedies. I also recommend a treatment period of at least 90 days in view of the length of time you have been suffering with sinus and tinnitus.
You get a substantial 40% discount on the second remedy. Visit this link http://www.t-gone.com/tinnitus/sinus-tinnitus-special-90.htm for details.

Noise Induced Tinnitus Question:

Hi John,
Thanks for your support. I'm not sure what type of Tinnitus I suffer from as it has only been 7 weeks.
Let me give you the history and maybe you can give me some insite.
I am a male, 46 years old, married w/4 children ages 22, 21, 17 & 7.
I work as a general superintendent in the construction industry and manage the superintendents of several large construction projects (currently 6) My job can be fairly stressful.
My doctor diagnosed me 4 years ago as a type 2 Diabeties(350 blood sugar), high cholesterol (over 240) and high tryglicerides (over 600) and has been treating me with several perscriptions since that time.
Today my diabetes is under control, my HA1C is currently 6.7, my cholesterol level is 100 and triglicerides are at a normal rate.
My long term perscriptions are as follows:
Glyb/Metform (1.25/250 mg) 2x daily
Actos (30 mg)1x daily
Lipitor (80 mg) 1x daily
Niaspan (500 mg) 1x daily
I saw in one of your letters that you have a list of prescription drugs that can cause Tinnitus. Can you send me a copy of that list, it would be greatly appreciated.
Here is my story:
Seven weeks ago I went to bed as normal on a Thursday evening. Friday morning I woke up and experienced the ringing in my head for the first time and was not sure what it was. After showering and getting ready for the day, I left home and while driving I made a call from my cell phone and had no sound. I changed to the right ear and realized that I was completely deaf in my left ear.
Sudden hearing loss and tinnitus
This was completely sudden, no traumatic incidence or any sign of hearing loss the night before. I went to urgent care that day. Doc said, no infection & looks normal. Prescribed Flonase and said to see Regular Doc if no results occur. Saw Regular Doc on the following Monday, he put me on high dosage of steroids (Prednisone 60 mg daily ) for several days (I was also informed that the steroids would cause my blood sugar to elevate to unsafe levels, which it did), no change by Wednesday and went to ENT specialist on Thursday.
Took hearing test and said I had complete hearing loss in left ear. He had me take the steroids for 2 more weeks. Upon follow up 2 weeks later and another hearing test. I was told that there was a slight change but still called it severe hearing loss. He told me to stop taking the steroids and that my hearing loss was permanent and follow up in 3 months. I was completely taken back by his blunt diagnosis and asked him about the Tinnitus, his comment was just as you stated in your newsletter "you will learn to live with it".
I insisted on a second opinion and the insurance granted this after a 3 week battle.
My new Doctor is an Ear Specialist and has given me far more hope than the last one. He took a hearing test and found that my hearing had increased since the test 3 weeks earlier and said I may be able to use a hearing aid in the future. Currently I only hear background and loud noises. I can't really distinguish words.
This Doctor is treating me with an experimental procedure by placing a tube in my eardrum and filling my ear with liquid steroids. I will get another hearing test and treatment on Friday. I'll update you after the next test.
I still suffer from Tinnitus 24 hours a day.
I have good days and bad days. It seems to be better when I am pre-occupied with work or working on my house. On the bad days, it can be completely unbearable.
That's my story.
Thank you for taking the time to hear about me.
Please let me know what you recommend.
These are my questions about using t-gone tinnitus remedies:
How long does it take to obtain results? This varies but in your case it will probably need at least 3 months.
Does it work for most people? It does if the correct remedy is ordered.
How long has your product been on the market? Since 1999
Which product do you recommend? The noise tinnitus remedy.
Thanks again,
Bob Young
Hi Bob,
So sorry to hear about the sudden hearing loss and tinnitus you are experiencing.
This is not actually totally without precedent in the industry you work in. It is a given that at various times in your career you have probably been exposed to sudden loud noises and could have suffered severe cochlear damage as a result.
It is not known why the sudden hearing loss and tinnitus just happens seemingly without any trigger but it happens so often it is scary.
As far as I am aware the hearing loss is irriversible so if the ENT says he can help this must be a very new development.
You mention good days and bad days. This is also typical of this tinnitus type and when you are stressed you'll find the tinnitus levels ramping up a good couple of notches.
We do have excellent successes with the tinnitus caused from cochlear damage. The remedy you need is the noise tinnitus remedy which can be found at this page http://www.t-gone.com/noise-tinnitus.htm
There is also an extra strength version of the remedy available as an option in the shopping cart which I would recommend and furthermore I would recommend that you get at least a 90 day supply of the remedy.
Hope this helps and remember we are here to help you so use that Tollfree number listed at the top of th
Kind regards,
John Currie
Q: What form are the tinnitus remedies supplied in?
A: The tinnitus remedies are supplied in a tablet form. The tablet is actually sugar of milk (lactose) which really only acts as a carrier for the homoeopathic dilutions which are sprayed on to the lactose and dried. The remedies are taken in small doses twice daily. You simply dissolve them under the tongue and the remedies have absolutely no side effects.

Q: It feels like my sinus is blocked as well as heart beat sound,ache,roar,ring noise. would this block the sinus area to? It's the right side of my face and ear. I need help and answers. My whole life has changed.My hearing is going fast! ???
A: Sinus's that are extremely blocked can cause classical sinus tinnitus symptoms. The sinus tinnitus remedy will also help enormously with your sinus problem. It works and relieves the tinnitus by thinning the mucous that surrounds the membranes in the inner ear, thus allowing the mucous to drain through the Eustachian tubes. Which will in turn relieve the pressure in the inner ear and the levels of tinnitus will decrease.
>>>>>>>>
Q: I am a recording/audio engineer as well as a drummer and have a distinctive ringing in both ears. I can only assume that ive suffered some pretty steady damage to my ears via high SPL's & constant exposure to loud noise in my early drumming years?
A: Yes you are correct, you have definately damaged the cochlea in the inner ear and that is what is causing the ringing in both of your ears. Let me explain, you have tiny hairs in the inner ear and these hairs have nerve endings that get damaged by exposure to noise and when this happens they transmit sounds to your brain, which are the tinnitus noises. Tinnitus from noise is the most common type of tinnitus and we have had great success in treating tinnitus from noise.
>>>>>>>>
Q: I caught a cold one month ago, and have been suffering from tinnitus ever since. I have a habit of eating extremely spicy food, I did so and got a sore throat just before that cold. so does this have anything to do with the tinnitus?
A: I also love spicy foods but they do not cause tinnitus! So eat away. It sounds like you are almost certainly suffering from sinus tinnitus, the tinnitus is caused by sinus and allergies and results because of a thickening of the mucous in the middle ear. The accumulation of mucous in the middle ear results in a extra pressure which causes sinus tinnitus symptoms.
>>>>>>>>
Q: Dear Sir, I have a son of 28 years old suffering from Tinnitus since he had blown too hard on an air-mattress during his holidays a few years ago. The tinnitus symptoms started with a severe pain in the ear during the following night, and after the pain went away ther is a constant ringing in his ears I believe this might be type 4 tinnitus from noise?
A: Noise tinnitus, which is tinnitus from exposure to noise is typically caused when the shock and noise of trauma to the ears causes damage to the tiny nerve endings in the cochlea. The noise tinnitus remedy works by repairing those damaged nerve endings in the inner ear which are actually causing the tinnitus and ringing in the ears.
>>>>>>>>
Q: Approximately 1 year ago, at age 46, I awoke to sudden profound hearing loss & tinnitus in my left ear. Antibiotics and antihistamines had no effect. Finally, My ENT specialist prescribed prednisone and acyclovir, which partially restored lower frequency hearing. I am stressed out please help me with my tinnitus?
A: I strongly suspect that your tinnitus is STRESS & ANXIETY related. This is known as stress tinnitus and the stress tinnitus remedy will also help enormously with your stress, anxiety and depression. There is a part of the brain responsible for producing essential chemicals that we need to function day to day and it is affected by long continued stress which in turn leads to tinnitus from stress.
>>>>>>>>
Q: I am trying to determine the type of tinnitus I have. I am 29 years old and have been suffering from tinnitus for about 5 - 7 years. My father and his family have a history of hearing problems as he and many of his brothers and sisters wear hearing aids.
A: These are the 4 main causes, tinnitus from noise, tinnitus from stress, tinnitus from sinus and meniere's disease. You must try and determine why and when your tinnitus started. Were you exposed to noise, stress or trauma. Do you suffer from sinus or related problems? What noises are you hearing? If you can establish what caused your tinnitus you will have a better chance in treating your tinnitus.
>>>>>>>>
Q: My tinnitus which was a noise induced buzz, mainly in left ear, and recently the tinnitus symptoms have become much more severe, with a loud whining hum now mainly in the right ear, though it seems like my whole head is ringing. This increase occured at a health clinic while being It is likely that the shock and noise of cleansing the ear aggravated rather than resolved the damage to the cochlea.
A: The exposure to noise would cause the loud constant ringing in your ears which is tinnitus from noise. It is also likely that that the stress and anxiety caused by the treatments and ongoing CFS and the tinnitus noises is causing you to suffer from stress tinnitus aswell. You will benefit greatly from using both the stress & noise remedies in conjunction with each other.

Q: My wife has had a lot of allergies along with inner ear problems with vertigo. She has had ringing in the ears for several years. She has taken a lot of antibotics and antihistamines. She had Endoscopic sinus surgery Nov. 16, 2000.
A: It is also possible that in addition to the sinus Tinnitus she is suffering from, the shock and noise of the surgery has caused noise tinnitus. This would account for the increased levels of tinnitus. The vertigo spells or the room spinning and dizzy feeling she is experiencing is very often caused by a condition known as Meniere's Disease
Meniere's Disease sufferers will experience episodes of vertigo, nausea and loud tinnitus symptoms.
>>>>>>>>
Q: I have been diagnosed with Meniere's Disease. The tinnitus that I am experiencing is primarily in one ear as a result of one of the vertiginous episode that occured last fall, before that I had never experienced tinnitus. Have you had any success with tinnitus and meniere's disease?
A: We have had a lot of success in treating tinnitus & meniere's disease. Meniere's disease is a chronic condition and it is also recommended that you follow a low salt diet, this alone will help you enormously to control the electrolyte levels and the debilitating symptoms of Meniere's Disease.

Q: Do you have or do you now somebody whith 50-60db sound to get released of it or to not sufer? what about dr.jasstreboff method? It is not really the level of the sound you should be concerned with when trying to pinpoint what remedy you should order.
A: You should rather try and pinpoint the TYPE of sounds and what might be causing the tinnitus as described at the site. The remedies will cure most tinnitus if the CORRECT cause can be identified.
>>>>>>>>
Q: I have reviewed the descriptions of the different types of tinnitus, but am still not sure which category mine falls into. I have a very high-pitched, constant ringing noise is both ears, but predominantly the left ear. I have only a couple slight allergi The noises are an indication only and someones RING is anothers BUZZ.
A: The fact that you have ear congestion is the key. It is possible that your EUSTACHIAN TUBES are very narrow, preventing the mucous from draining. Tinnitus then results! The sinus tinnitus remedy will thin down the mucous, allowing it to drain out through the EUSTACHIAN TUBES. This will relieve the congested feeling as well as helping with sinus and related problems such as tinnitus.
>>>>>>>>
Q: I have high frequency hearing loss. Will the remedy for noise tinnitus improve my hearing?
A: The remedies cannot cure or restore hearing loss. If you have loud ringing noises the noise tinnitus remedy will relieve the tinnitus but will not restore hearing.
>>>>>>>>
Q: I am not sure which tinnitus remedy to order because I am not sure which symptoms may be causing my tinnitus. I have TMJ in my right jaw. I have been suffering from sinus/allergy problems for the past 4 years, and I also have to have my right ear cleansed often.
A: The shock and noise of having the ear cleansed often leads to NOISE INDUCED tinnitus. The sinus induced tinnitus is usually accompanied by high intakes of anti-biotics or anti histamines which often causes sinus tinnitus. You should carefully read the description of the 4 main causes at the site and try to determine you tinnitus type from the sounds mentioned. It is also possible that you are suffering from both types and could benefit from taking the two remedies in conjunction.
>>>>>>>>
Q: I have read a lot the information provided here and see a lot of the word "CURE" within. I am a little puzzled, do you mean cure as in; no longer suffering from this and no longer need treatment or medication. Or cure as in; the noise level is lowered?
A: We mean cure for tinnitus as in total cure. Whilst some only achieve partial success, i.e. a reduction in the level of the tinnitus noises, most achieve complete relief from tinnitus.

Q: Hi, I am 20 and I suffer from tinnitus. It is a high pitched ringing that I would have thought was a type 4 noise damage type thing. I also seem to have to clear my ears by blowing thru my nose (whilst blocking it) all the time. It doesnt affect my hearing?
A: It is common for younger people to experience NOISE INDUCED tinnitus. This happens often, especially those that are exposed to loud noise such as concerts, clubs, steros, walkmans etc. It is not so common for someone your age to experience sinus tinnitus which is caused by sinus and related problems. You almost certainly have tinnitus from noise.

Q: Well i was diving in about 20ft of water when i noticed when i went down in put alot of pressure on my head.When i surfaced i noticed a ringing in my left ear.I went to an ENT he prescribed me steroids which im on now.He said i have lost the high pitched sounds?
A: When diving, you always should equalize early and often. As you descend, you will feel a pressure on your ears if you do not equalize. If you could not equalize, it is possible that you were diving with a cold or perhaps sinus or realted problems and this caused a blockage of the nasal passages. It could also be whatt is known as a 'reverse block' which occurs when you ascend and the nasal passages do not clear normally. You should review the sinus tinnitus information at the site.
>>>>>>>>
Q: Have you heard of devices that create a sound and are worn for hours per day helping tinnitus? They are supposed to retrain the brain to deal with the tinnitus? The treatment is called TRT (Tinnitus Retraining Therapy) and was developed by Dr. Pawel Jastreboff.
A: This type of treatment is supposed to get your brain to accept the noise. It is supposed to mask the noise and habituate you. (get you used the noises) Our remedies are curative, i.e. they will lead to a cure by treating the root cause of the tinnitus. They are not retraining or habituation.

Q: John,
Thanks for all the continuing info on Tinnitus. It has helped me analyze the whole picture of how I got this and what it is doing to me. After reviewing your drug list of causes, I realize now that it was a combination of Flexeril and Lodine XL that I was taking for tennis elbow from 2000-2002 that was most likely the start of the tinnitus.
During that time, I was working 2 jobs and going to night school for my chef's degree. My corporate day job was so amazingly stressful. Plus during that time I was singing regularly with a large choir and orchestra and doing lots of long and loud rehearsing in the car to my audio tapes.
So I can now see very clearly how the progression of this condition has happened. My tinnitus seems to be amplified by my recurring sinus problems, but the condition itself has remained constant since 2002.
For me tinnitus is a very loud sound similar to that of a hearing test, you know, that high pitched sound that comes through the headphones when the Doc checks your hearing. For me it is about a C sharp, both one and two octaves above middle C.
And it is about 10-15 times the volume of the hearing test. It is constant, day and night, and seems to be more prevalent in the left ear but is still heard in both. I remember at first I thought that it was a buzz coming off of my computer monitor. But then it got worse and continued after I left the corporate world and became a fulltime chef.
Now the problem I have is the noise in the kitchen. Everything is stainless steel so all day I have to listen to pots and pans banging against the counters. Add to that the steady loud dim of the exhaust hoods and you have a recipe for insanity.
I have now been in the profession kitchen for 5 years and the physical stress of the job is making me consider leaving it for a time to seek a quieter and calmer professio n. My hearing is worth more to me than a job.
So I want to do whatever it takes to get it back. My tinnitus is causing me to become very anti-social. I can barely have a conversation with anyone without asking them to repeat everything they say. And talking on the phone can be next to impossible. So I need to do my best to fix this. I do have a specific question for you. It says on the list of things not to do when taking the remedies that I should not be touching metal. Hmmmm. That's all I do for 8 hours a day. To what extent is that affecting the remedies?
So thanks again for all your help. Just knowing that there are people out there who are trying to help makes me feel a lot less hopeless about the situation. The Lord has brought you across my path for a good reason. And for that I am grateful. I'll let you know how the job search is going. Oh, by the way, I am currently taking both remedies for stress and for noise.
Thanks for everything and keep up the good work!!!
Deb
Hello Deb
What we mean by not touching metal is when you are taking the tablets. Try to get them out of the bottle and into your mouth without touching them or putting them into contact with metal like a teaspoon.
Actually touching metal will have no effect on the remedies :0)
Keep your chin up and hopefully you'll soon have that tinnitus relief you are looking for.
Regards,
John.

Dear T-Gone,
My name is E, I am a 39 year young and always been a healthy female from The Netherlands. Since 10 February 2007 I experience Tinnitus in both ears, sometimes at the same time, sometimes just in one ear. Sometimes it wakes me up at night and it is louder and the it calms down again. I compare the sound to a high pitch squeak which sound a bit like the sound after you have been to a concert. But the tinnitus sometimes also sounds a bit different. From what I remember when I started it was more a ring in my ears but I am not too sure anymore. It´s hard to explain and sometimes remember but it keeps me busy all day as you may understand.
Here are the some facts you also need to know:
- I work as a freelancer in the IT, a busy and stressful job but I love it
- I broke up with my boyfriend of 4 years back in June 2006. It was a painful break up and we do not see each other anymore.
- In august 2006 I met the most wonderful man of my life. He is all I wanted and was looking for for such a long time. Loving me a lot, supporting me now as much as he can and the most important person in my life.
- In October 2002 my sister passed away at the age of 32 from breast cancer with also tumours in the head. It was a very said and painful end. Her husband and myself sat next to her and helped her for the last 3 months of her life by taking care of her at home. That was her choice rather then dying in a hospital.
- From 1993 to 1998 I lived in South Africa and was away from my family.
Here´s my story:
In the beginning of December 2006 I twisted my ankle badly while running(I am addicted to running). In the end it was fine again after 3 weeks and nothing serious just lot of pain. Towards the end of the month I felt sometimes a bit light in my head (as we call it in Dutch, so not dizzy really).
In January 2007 I felt worse, I also experienced a major migraine attack mid January 2007. I normally have 2 per year which last for 5 minutes with stars and lightning in one eye followed by a major headache. This time it was in both eyes, and there were circles and flashes. The headache did follow but was milder. Ever since I felt very light in my head and had problems with my eyes. They were dry and I could not focus. I was not down but my head felt terrible, too heavy on my shoulders. I had my blood tested. My leukocytes were up a bit and since I speak nasal for the last couple of years (after flying with the flu back in 1996 which gave me such pains when the plain was descending) my doctor prescribed me Doxycycline 100 for 1 week. Halfway through the week, Saturday the 10th of February 2007, I will never forget, I noticed this ring in my ear while sitting on the couch watching a movie. It has not gone since. I did finish the cure as they stress that you should always do that with anti-biotics
On top of that I got all sorts of other physical complaints:
- Itchy feeling under my skull; no headache but like insects running around.
- Pain under my feet, worse in my left foot.
- Tired legs, felt like blood was rushing through at such a speed.
- I went to the toilet more often at night to empty my bladder.
Because of all the above I got very scared and anxious (my sister´s death has something too do with that). Although I did fall a sleep I would wake up at 04:00 hrs in the morning with this noise in my ear. Sometimes louder, sometimes the same as what it was when I fell a sleep.
I went to see my GP again and asked to see a neuron specialist and a ENT specialist.
The first one said there was nothing wrong after doing some general tests. The ENT specialist checked my ears (I did tell her about my tinnitus) and found nothing wrong. Then she checked my nose and unfortunately it was a bit snotty that day and she heard me talking and prescribed me Avelox 400 (7 tablets). After taking the first that night of Tuesday 20 February I already felt my beating much faster and I also believe the noise in my ear was louder. On Thursday 22 February I felt terrible as the tinnitus was worse and I phoned the specialist. Mine was on holiday but her partner said I should stop it if the noise was too bad. Reading both leaflets that come with the drug (also for the Doxy) I noticed that it said something about Tinnitus (it did not mention the word but that you could experience sounds in your ear; we call it ´oorsuizen´.
I then had a very bad period with hyperventilation but that has stopped.
I phoned my ENT specialist again on 8 March as she planned a CT scan for me for the 5th of April and now I had not finished the anti-biotics. I explained about the tinnitus (of course I was the first one that experienced this…) and prescribed me another cure for 3 days. Unfortunately I forgot the name and the box is not here. The side effect tinnitus is not mentioned in the leaflet and I did not think it got any worse.
Yesterday I went to see the psychologist again. I have seen here in 2003 and 2004 after my sister passed away and I needed to learn how to coop with the loss and also to recover the bond with my parents. We had lost each other during the illness of my sister and that is all fine now. They support me big time now and are very worried with all my problems. Being their only child.
But the psychologist thinks my problems are all anxiety related due to relation problems. I am so scared of losing the wonderful man in my life now and because he is so good to me it makes me rethink my previous 2 relationships and the stress they caused me.
She thinks all my symptoms are related to that….but I am so fed up with that ringing that I hope you can help me now!
I hope my long story can help to decide with treatment I should take, the one for Stress or rather Sinus? It´s a hard one as I am seeing an ENT specialist but have no results from the scan so far and I am also seeing a psychologist for stress. I have a bit of both but I think what triggered it was the drug Doxycycline. But now my anxiety is keeping the Tinnitus alive probably. What do you think?
Thanking you already for listening to my story and please let me know in what time-frame you will reply to his message. As I am desperate as you can understand.
Warm regards,
EK.
Hello E,
Thank you for the detailed information about your tinnitus problem. I believe the you will be able to get relief within a couple of months simply because the root ause of your tinnitus is obvious to me.
I believe that the long period you had to spend with your ailing sister and her subsequent passing is the underlying cause of your tinnitus. I am sure it is the stress and traumatic life events that you can blame for the tinnitus.
What happens here is that your hypothalamus in the brain is no longer producing some essential trace elements that your body needs to function properly. Tinnitus is only one of the possible side effects that occur in these situations.
It is also possible that you suffered a mild case of Meniere's disease and this was what was responsible, for the light headedness and extreme tiredness you felt. As this no longer seemd to be a problem I would not worry too much about it and would concentrate on trying to get rid of the tinnitus.
It is my considered opinion that you need the stress tinnitus remedy to relieve the stress/traumatic life events related tinnitus you are experiencing. I also believe that you have cochlear damage from the attack of Meniere's disease which does result in cochlea damage tinnitus. This damage occurs when you have those attacks of dizziness and light headedness.
My recommendation to you is thus that you take both the stress tinnitus as well as the noise tinnitus remedies in combination with each other.
Hope this helps!
John
