Yeah, I usually only wear one. When I have both in, he's like "Uh oh - I'd better leave her alone" hahaha
I don't know if my audiobook choices are all that much of an escape, now that I think about it. The last two that I borrowed were Red Dragon and Silence of the Lambs. Hannibal Lector is probably not the best choice for relaxing. LOL
I love alone time! The noise I was trying to block out was engine noise. The kids have those "side by sides" (4 wheelers, whatever they're called) that they drive around on the rough terrain of our property. They're a great idea and a great way to get around. However, they're noisy - imagine a revving engine repeating constantly. Some of my son in law's grandkids were here and they let them take those things out and they just drone and drone and drone and it drives me nuts. I always dread they're coming because I know that I'm going to have to listen to that. One night - they were out "hot rodding" them at midnight! I lost my cool that night and made a phone call. I said "enough's enough. It's midnight!"
Oh, Chris, neither one of them sound like a good "escape". ROTF
Read my response to Eva. This "noise" you "might" want to block out. it's torture - hour after hour.

I looked for this online- Hoopla and Libby- and it isn't available yet but I fav'd it so I will make sure to borrow it when it is available, thank you for the rec!
If I put earbuds in, all I can hear is LOUD buzzing so I'm living life at full blast at the moment. hahaha
Silence is a no-no for me now. I have extreme tinnitus and if its quiet the noise in my ears is so loud it almost drives me to the brink. So, I have either music, audiobooks or the tv on 24/7. This has been going on for almost a year. I did find an herb that is beginning to help, I believe....hoping!
I have it too, Danesa. I even have white noise going at night - can't sleep without it.Silence is a no-no for me now.

Yes, I'd like to know if there's an herb that helps. I've had this since FOREVER!

Let me know if you watch the video and what you think. I'll try to keep you informed on how I'm progressing (or not) during these next 2 months. Good luck to you each. (There have been several local people who have committed suicide because of the unending tinnitus noise...so sad.)
I'd love to watch the video! I've had it for so many years that I know nothing else. Yes, at night has always been the worst. I can't have NO noise - it must have been something to not hear that!@tanteva @Cherylndesigns @taxed4ever
Hey ladies. One of my docs, recommended Sonavel (Hearing Support Formula) It is the only thing that has given me any relief. I got the 3 month supply. I just finished my first month. I actually was in the shower and when I turned off the water it was silent...I almost cried...it was the first time in months and months that I had silence. It's happened a few times since then. The video presentation says it will take about 3 months for it to have a a significant effect on the brain (where they say is the problem, not the ear). Very interesting. So I have hope...last night, I enjoyed about 45 minutes of no music or tv on. I'm pretty sure you'd agree that night, when things are quiet, are the worst.
I still have 1.5 months left (of the 3 months) so there's still hope!
Oh, my dad was the master at this! There were 4 of us kids and we always lived in small houses, growing up and Dad just went inside his head. Haha Later on, he became hard of hearing, but he could "tune us out" way before that. You're lucky you can do this.
OH, my sleep machine goes everywhere with me, too. I have to tell you all that mine died. I ordered a new one and don't like it. I might have already told you this, but there's an app with white noise that I love. Actually, there are several different "white noises" and this is interesting. The different colors represent different tonal sounds. The one I love is "Brown Noise" - it's deeper and very soothing to my ears - probably because of my tinnitus. There are several apps for "noise" but here's the one I finally decided on. I put it on my iPad Mini and lay it on the pillow next to me and it's perfect!
The radio is a good idea, too. Just background noise is good, but not too loud, it has to be the perfect tone.
