Desperate doesn’t even begin to describe it. I was so tired of hearing that there was “no cure.”
That I should “learn to live with it.”
So I did what everyone does when the medical system gives up on them:
I started looking anywhere else for answers.
I tried the diets.
There’s this guy online who claims he cured his tinnitus. For $299, you get a PDF and a video. His “method”?
- Dry fasting (no food or water for hours)
- Eat nothing but beef, raw fruits, and uncooked vegetables
- Only drink Evian water
- No chicken, no coffee, no soda, no alcohol, no sugar, no rice, no bread, no pasta
- Cold showers every morning
I followed his protocol for two weeks.
Guess what I got?
A headache. Constant hunger. And ringing ears. Still screaming at 3AM.
☘️ I tried herbs and teas
People said:
“Herbs helped me get rid of it – try them.”
So I did. Ginkgo biloba, passionflower, magnesium, chamomile, valerian root, turmeric capsules.
I spent over $200 in supplements in one month.
The result?
My pee smelled like a spice rack.
The ringing? Still there.
🕰 Doctors just said: wait
The “specialist” I was referred to gave me the most insulting answer of all:
“You’ll have to wait 4 to 6 months. It might go away.”
Wait? I can’t sleep. I can’t focus. I’ve stopped enjoying music.
And you’re telling me to just… wait?
☕ I gave up everything I enjoyed
I stopped drinking coffee. I cut out wine.
No more chocolate. No more chicken.
I avoided anything with salt or sugar. I skipped social events.
I even stopped watching TV because the sounds made the ringing spike.
All that sacrifice — for nothing.
I did everything I could. I followed every tip. I believed every internet “cure”.
But all it got me was more exhaustion, more frustration, and more noise.
If you’ve been through even half of this…
You know exactly what I’m talking about.
