Tinnitus
I suffer from tinnitus, a constant ringing or buzzing in the ears. I have it in both ears. In my case the sound sometimes manifests itself as a whistling sound. There is always a constants schuss sound which also varies in intensity. I also have a high frequency loss which begins at 2000 (left) and 3000 (right) hz, at a threshold of 20 db, an then drops to anywhere from 65 to 85 db at frequencies of 3000-8000 hz.

I did not find any articles relating to this condition in any forum here.
My audiologist cousin has suggested 'Neuromonics' as a course of treatment for the tinnitus. This product seems to have a similar characteristic approach to resolving this problem as you have with LifeFlow and similar meditation listening tools. At the moment, this is not available to me as I don't reside in the US and haven't been able to locate a resource where I live, Costa Rica.
My questions are:
Does anyone have any comments regarding their use/experience of LifeFlow as it relates to their tinnitus condition?
How much of an effect does this condition effect the general meditative process as experienced by others?
Do others who suffer from tinnitus have difficulty in tuning out the 'static' or do you use this 'white noise' to assist in your meditation?
Thanks in advance to anyone who can shed some light on this for me!
