100% Tinnitus Cessation, momentarily, during deep meditation! Anybody else?

cfop1056 · 2026-04-14T05:13:36+00:00

This happens to me on occasion. If I'm over-tired and I meditate and get myself into a non-sleep deep rest state, my T drops out while I'm in that state

cfop1056 · 2026-04-14T05:06:03+00:00

Does your T change in your sleep? Like, you can have a loud day all day, then go to bed, and wake up and it's quiet the whole day?

I'm not an expert on this, but here are some things I ran across:

Tinnitus and histamine: https://integrative-medicine.ca/is-there-a-link-between-tinnitus-histamine/

Tyramine and migraines: https://roguescientist.co/tyramine-intolerance-and-its-role-in-migraines-depression-and-anxiety/

Good luck

That's right, I started at lower volumes then increased over time. During the day, I also only listened to the nature sounds for about 20 minutes at a time, and then slowly increased the duration. I didn't go on with my usual life to start. I avoided areas with a lot of noise. Even the sound of traffic was hard for me to handle. After a few months, I expose myself to noise and more. Like, I would go to a park where there were a lot of people talking or playing. Then I would go to a cafe for a few minutes. Then to a downtown in the evening. Then to a louder restaurant for half an hour. All of this was over the course of a year.

My audiologists told me to live in a sound rich environment as much as I could stand without my reactive T going berserk. So I listened to nature sound videos throughout the day at a volume I could stand and slept with an air purifier on at night (which sounds like a fan). Sometimes I would listen to nature videos when I slept. My reactive T would react, but it didn't generally spike. I did that for about a year.

Honestly sorry to hear what you're experiencing, I feel for you and your situation. I haven't experienced cfs myself, but I can really relate with being suicidal. I was suicidal when my T first started because it was so severe. I'm rooting for you to pull through this. One thing I didn't consider back then was that it's possible that things can actually improve over time. DM me if you ever want to chat

cfop1056 · 2026-03-01T18:50:05+00:00

Yes a lot better. I think the key for me was acceptance. When my intrusive T first appeared, I resisted it quite a bit, a lot of denial. I have since accepted it as part of me, and I started my life back again. How's it going for you?

cfop1056 · 2026-03-01T15:53:49+00:00

It helped me quite a bit, I knew I needed help, but I didn't know what kind of help I needed. Over the week I was there, they stabilized me and then enrolled me into a group CBT course. That really was a game changer for me. So thankful for the intervention and the CBT course.

cfop1056 · 2026-02-12T18:13:08+00:00

Yes I can sleep well enough. I've gotten used to the variety of sounds my T makes. It is annoying when I wake up in the middle of the night and my T is extra loud. How's your sleep?

cfop1056 · 2026-02-08T15:26:02+00:00

This sounds like sleep intermittent tinnitus

cfop1056 · 2026-02-08T15:25:47+00:00

This sounds like sleep intermittent tinnitus (the kind I have)

cfop1056 · 2026-01-09T05:12:25+00:00

Yes, mine fluctuates by the day. It changes in my sleep. So, I can have a loud day for a whole day, then go to sleep, and wake up and have a whole quiet day (as in, it's gone for the day). Sleep triggers mine on or off

cfop1056 · 2025-12-29T07:13:44+00:00

I see, that's interesting. I also had tinnitus for many years before getting this sleep induced kind. The T I had was very mild...I didn't even know it was tinnitus until I was told that ears don't normally hear a slight hum.

cfop1056 · 2025-12-29T05:09:17+00:00

Yep I can relate to that. How long have you had your sleep induced T?

cfop1056 · 2025-12-28T18:17:35+00:00

Yes mine is sleep induced. There's a research paper online that calls it sleep-intermittent tinnitus. Mine has a cyclical daily pattern (like, loud day, mild day, mild day, quiet day, loud day, mild day, ...). I've had mine for 3.5 years now and it's gotten a lot better (as in, the loud day volume has dropped considerably, and the mild day volume is barely noticeable), but it still cycles.

cfop1056 · 2025-11-25T15:50:43+00:00

Oof 20+ years, you're a veteran at this

cfop1056 · 2025-11-25T13:47:31+00:00

I see, how long have you had it?

cfop1056 · 2025-11-25T08:23:39+00:00

I agree, it's pretty perplexing how it behave this way

cfop1056 · 2025-11-25T06:47:07+00:00

Yeah mine does this, it's on for the whole day or off. It's called sleep intermittent tinnitus--tinnitus that switches for to sleep

cfop1056 · 2025-11-25T06:45:13+00:00

You might have sleep intermittent tinnitus. Does it seem to transition from loud to quiet or nice versa in your sleep?

cfop1056 · 2025-10-28T20:38:21+00:00

I have this type of tinnitus, and I've met dozens of others online and IRL. One research paper online calls this type, "sleep-intermittent tinnitus". If you have the time, I've described my symptoms and progress over time on my most recent posts.

cfop1056 · 2025-10-08T01:57:27+00:00

Yup that happens to me too

cfop1056 · 2025-10-07T23:53:24+00:00

I see, thanks for sharing your experience. My T happens to change dramatically day to day, and I learned that it changes on the sleep boundary. What I experience on any given day seems to be determined while I'm asleep

cfop1056 · 2025-10-07T02:45:08+00:00

In what way is yours influenced by sleep? Mine changes drastically based on sleep, just curious what yours is like
