  • CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.

There is nothing that reduces my Tinnitus (sounds that seem to be coming from the ears but are in the head). It comes and goes on its own. Probably comes from my neck injury according to my physical therapist.
I value my brothers' and sisters' prayers in alleviating this disruption in my life.

Also having Tinnitus, so I can sympathize. Though I don't think I got mine from an injury. What I do to go to sleep is listen to the sound of rain in the background. Usually through an app. Maybe that will help you as well.

I pray you are able to get used to it or God removes it completely. For me I've just gotten used to it and while it's bad some days, other days it's more mild. God bless.

ignatius, thanks for your kind words, my symptoms also vary in intensity. So, tonight it is more intense and so looking for relief through prayer. having sounds on is difficult because could disturb my spouse.

Praying for you!

So I know this is the Prayer wall and not the Suggestion wall :), but could you maybe talk to your spouse and see if just the sound of rain would be okay? No thunder or anything... Or maybe just the sound of crickets?

Or maybe headphones or earphones? YouTube has loads of sleep sound videos you could test out for free. If you like to sleep on your side, maybe try a memory foam pillow and cut out a little notch for the earphone. Just some brainstorms... feel free to ignore them... :)

Praying for you!

I appreciate your help. I do have Tinnitus sound recordings I use when awake. They can go through my earphones. I will try your memory foam pillow suggestion. Thank you.

A song playing right now "there is power in the name of Jesus". Not by chance that was playing as I am typing. I will be praying.. Peter and John at the gate said after the man was healed.. "why do you look at us as if we did this by our own power. That name.. faith in that name". A man said to Christ.. I know you can.. but do you want to? :) HE ALWAYS does. So by His strips you were are healed in the name of Yeshua/Jesus Christ. Praying

I have tinnitus and I have to have a loud fan running 24/7 to not be driven crazy by the tinnitus. A friend of mine saw an ENT who did some kind of sound therapy with him where he wore this thing in his ears tuned to the same frequency or some harmonic of it. I'll pray but if you want to know more come to Request for Christian Advice.

I have it also but don't notice it if there is other noise going on like tv, radio, music. I sleep well without it while listening to Christian tv all night.:)
