Do you ever wonder if microwave ovens and mobile telephone masts and mobile phones have anything to do with people getting tinnitus? Or / and could it perhaps be due to the preservatives and artificial additives that they add to food too?
Do you ever wonder if you could go to a retreat or a desert island for a few weeks and could only live off natural homegrown foods - as well as be away from microwaves - would it die down??

But I do understand the desire - to find oneself in a place where the T cannot exist.
I imagine myself there on a regular basis. Somewhere, out there - there is a place where I can be in silence.
Day to day - around here - I find solice in the simple things - a walk in to the hills with a flask of tea. Meditation and listening to the external sounds of the World. Letting those flood in and allowing them to disperse and corrupt the T sounds within.
On a day to day basis I also seek out that place where the T cannot happen but . . .
in the mean time I try my utmost, knowing I am not alone in this World - to keep the faith in my own resilience and strength and to draw courage and determination from others I find such as here.
Yes, nature restores my sanity and seems to be one of the best ways of reducing the high pitched T sounds I hear 24/7. The worry is though that there are fewer and fewer "white spots" (frequency free) areas like some European countries have. Still finding the "still/white" spots helps give me something to focus on!
Yes, I definitely agree with you, I know for a fact that if I am talking on my mobile for longer than 20 mins then my T goes wild so now I use the loud speaker, I remember back in the 80’s there was a warning about mobile phones being harmful to health but think they are better now.
I went for a walk with my son last week which meant going past a sub station with lines of masts, it had been raining so they were making this fizzing sound, I couldn’t go any further as my T was at a very uncomfortable level, it was quite frightening really, when I told my husband he said I doubt very much it would affect you!(bit annoyed at that remark)
Certain foods make my T worse, citrus fruits being one of one, but there are many more like spicy foods, so getting back to your question, I absolutely do wonder if all these things affect my Tinnitus and it’s a very good question.
Ah, you know that the warnings (disclaimers) are in settings on phones. They say to always keep on loud speaker. A lot of the warnings about phones have probably been buried as I researched it a few years ago and there are plenty of studies (if you know where to look!)
Hi Maco811, I hear so many other people say that at the moment! I get my tinnitus and searing headaches when I am anywhere near a wi-fi router and lesser so near to mobile phones, but worse near a DEC cordless phone! There are sites that I belong to where people have MCAS, (chemical sensitivity and electro sensitivity) and they talk about tinnitus. There must be links but it's probably not in the interest of those industries to research further. It's pretty hard to escape frequencies today, it's probably easier to avoid chemicals and to control what foods you eat.
There are people that say 5G masts and smart meters can cause problems for people. But these people tend to wear tinfoil hats and in my experience tend to be nutters.
Research into the history of tinnitus by De Ridder & De Ridder found “the first written record of tinnitus as a medical condition comes from Mesopotamia in the seventh century BC.” Hippocrates in the fifth century BC considered tinnitus to be based in the brain.
I absolutely do believe that. I'm very sensitive to EMF frequencies. Sadly, they aren't that easy to escape from. I do make sure I hold my mobile phone away from my body and on speaker whenever possible. Sometimes for privacy reasons, I can't do that. I would never wear ear buds for this same reason and I don't go near microwave ovens.
