Does this type of machine help with Ringing in the Ears? Has anyone ever used this type of devise to help with the Ringing in the ears to sleep at night?

I bought this because I have tinnitus and have trouble sleeping. Several years back I bought one of those cheap little Homedics alarm clocks that can play different kinds of continuous background noise (you can choose from "white noise," "rain," "ocean waves," etc). It was useless--the sound produced was tinny, not soothing, and did not mask other noises. The Marpac Sleep Mate 980 is far superior to an electronically generated sound that is played from a tinny speaker. Before buying the Marpac, I always just left a fan on all night for the sound, but didn't like having the rushing air when I didn't want air, just a soothing white noise. So I would say the Marpac is better than a fan too. However, a friend of mine who also had trouble sleeping used an air purifier to create white noise. Genius! It doesn't create a big gust of air when one isn't wanted, and yet still creates a pleasant white noise that has depth to it, unlike the annoying tinny sound of my Homedic. (...)

YesYesNo, they come with two adjustable sound dampers one that cuts sound down to about where foam ear plugs do, and one that just takes the edge off. I use them all the time for practice, and I play drums. I don't get any ear ringing when I'm done playing. I would recommend them.I've never owned the kind that mold to your ear, but I have used the cheap foam ones and these are far superior.Hope this helps!

It is very likely that it will help. Maybe start with an Otovent kit and try that first. If the Otovent works and the problem is chronic, then invest in the Earpopper...

You know, my original thought when I saw your question was,"I don't know." Then I started thinking my ears used to ring bad at times, and I haven't noticed it lately. I still have to say, of all the non Rx units Ibe used, it is STILL the best I've bought... Hope that helps.

Let's face it: if you're in the same room with a snorer, you're out of luck. This is a wonderful little machine, and its purpose is to provide a nice steady ambient noise. It's great for helping you stay asleep through occasional sounds like cars going down the street or the furnace kicking on and off. But if you're partnered with someone who snores loudly, you're still gonna hear that. Best I can tell you is try the machine out, and if it doesn't drown out the sawmill next to you, take it to another room and shut the door behind you!

As far as I know the snuza only alarms if there is an absence of movement. The sound machine should not interfere unless you of course you can't hear the alarm.

Sorry, I didn't test it for snoring block. Just by projecting from my experience with much louder noise, I would expect the product to be effective for that purpose, too. However, this statement is limited by the fact that I have not tested the product for sleeping convenience: It almost certainly blocks snoring noise, but I have not experienced how it feels on one's ears while asleep.

Hannah--the QC2s are not good to sleep in. I'm sure it could be done, but if I were you I would look into a pair of noise-canceling canalphones such as the Etymotic ER6i's.

They say it is. And it works better than other brands that I've tried. I use it to decrease the volume of the ringing in my ears. It may not work for everyone.

For me yes. I live in an apartment building and it helps drown out the sound from the people living above us. I've also found it helps me with anxiety. I put it on and I'm more easily able to do some meditation/mental imagery work that helps me fall asleep.

I use it on the night stand when I sleep.It is louder than my CPAP machine, but not bothersome. I usually use it on low or med and find it makes for nice sleeping.

Personally, I would rather have an independent sleep machine rather than one linked to an iPOD. However, try out the free app, and if it works for you, great. Since using my Nomad on the white noise setting, I don't hear cars on the driveway above me and people talking on the outside deck next door. The Nomad works great for me and I am going to buy another one to have in reserve because companies are always changing products that I like.

Ahh, a fellow sufferer. But I'm afraid that's the only consolation I can offer. Not only is it likely these earmuffs will NOT completely block all the noise, there is a distinct possibility that you will get headaches if you try to wear them overnight. I speak from experience. I have lived over twenty years in residential hotels, and the very worst thing about life in them is the noise from TV and music. Nevertheless, I presently wear these earmuffs, and the headaches have diminished with use. So there is genuine hope that you may eventually be able to sleep with them. I do so every night. And they are the closest to being soundproof of any earmuffs I have tried. They are better than Peltor's preceding iteration, the 3M Peltor H10A Optime 105. And they are better than Howard Leight's Bilsom 1010970 Thunder T3 NRR30. But there's no such thing as earmuffs that completely block out all sound. Unfortunately.

Hi, I find that it's just right for sleeping but sure if it would be enough for what you are looking to get out of the product (it has two setting, I usually use the higher setting and it has a nice hum). Hope this helps.

This device will not amplify voice communications. It will amplify the ringing only.There are portable phones (wireless) that will amplify voice communications. Check online and look for clarity amplified wireless phones. I have one of these as well.Hope this helps

I cannot say it helps me sleep, but I am guessing not all of them would, but some like the sound of waves might, I use the chime sound to wake up myself, not to fall asleep. I must say though, it is a great alarm clock, I searched and searched for a well made sound alarm clock like this and this one is exactly what I wanted. But yes, it is totally subjective whether or not certain sounds are so calming to one's brain that they make you fall asleep.
