- swinglock 7y agoI don't trust you. It works for me.
- jplayer01 7y agoTrust me, it didn't work for me.
- TrinaryWorksToo 7y agoI don't trust that you've read your own mind.
- jitendrac 7y agoIf it works for you that is great, but It does not work for me. and I don't have any reason to make you believe it.
- weltensturm 7y agoSo don't tell us to trust you?
- Finnucane 7y agoIt seems like the technique described would be unreliable and dependent on the nature of the damage causing your tinnitus. Also, at best it offers only momentary relief, though when tinnitus is bad that seems like that's worth a little effort in itself.
- ralmeida 7y agoWhy exactly should we trust you?

- senectus1 7y agoworks for me for about 2 mins... then it comes back
- jitendrac 7y agoReally nice to hear it. Do you also have hearing loss like me?
- diffeomorphism 7y agoIf you had written "It never helped me" that would have been telling your experience. "Trust me, it never helped me" is entirely different.
- dspillett 7y ago> never knew telling your experiences gets you downvotes I think this case is more specific than that: expressing personal experience as something that must therefore be true for everyone often gets you downvotes, at least here, unless you experience agrees directly and completely with local group-think (and even then some who disagree with the local group consensus will downvote without explanation). Frame personal experience as personal experience that might inform others usefully, rather than framing personal experience as solid undisputable globally applicable fact. You'll likely still get some downvotes of course, no matter what you say or how you frame it.
- swinglock 7y agoThe answer is much simpler. Before the comment was edited, it said "Trust me, it never worked", which does not describe a personal experience but dismisses everyone else's.
- diego_moita 7y agoI trust you, it never worked for me too.

- jgalentine007 7y agoI have bad tinnitus in both ears and doing the trick works for me, for about 60 seconds. I don't do it often because it makes me sad how much better that 60 seconds feels.
- kupopuffs 7y agoyou're getting downvotes because your original comment sounded like a general fact ("it never worked." (probably not your intention).
