    Losing Myself Because of Unbearable Tinnitus

    Well, I'm back to post; this will be my last. My ear has been in great pain lately, with a burning or stabbing sensation. I guess my biggest fear is now here, noxacusis. I thought it couldn't honestly get worse, but how incredibly wrong I was. I fell asleep to notched audio music using the...

    Losing Myself Because of Unbearable Tinnitus

    I’m going to take a break from social media, and this will be my last post for a while. I’m not feeling like an exit anymore, at least not right now. Today my little one turns six, and I’m devastated that I can’t be present with them. They’ve asked me to play with them, but I’m having ear pain...

    New University of Michigan Tinnitus Discovery — Signal Timing

    I read the Tinnitus Hub interview with Susan Shore and realized that despite my crippling tinnitus, I’ll never be a candidate for her treatment since I can’t hear my tinnitus frequency due to high-frequency hearing loss. I guess I won’t be wasting money on Lenire either.

    Losing Myself Because of Unbearable Tinnitus

    I appreciate that you’ve taken the time to respond. I’m sure I’m developing depression. I reached out to a therapist my doctor recommended and I’m waiting for a response. As for anxiety, yes, I have it. However, I haven’t found that it’s affecting my tinnitus. I’m very aware of my anxiety and...

    Losing Myself Because of Unbearable Tinnitus

    Another day. I didn't sleep at all last night. Every time I drifted off, I had a bad dream that woke me up, and when I woke up, all I could think about was the tinnitus. The same nightmare repeated each time I tried to sleep. I feel like I'm falling into a deep depression—how could I not? It's...

    Commercial Lidocaine Patch as a Treatment for Ear-ringing

    Thanks, I’ve read the thread, but maybe I missed it. What size do you buy and then cut in half? I see large and XL available on iHerb.

    Losing Myself Because of Unbearable Tinnitus

    As the days go by, I lose more and more hope. I want to call this a new tinnitus tone, and it's much more reactive than the previous one. It feels different, sounds different, and reacts differently than the one I've had for the previous 10 months. The only thing I changed in my life was adding...

    Commercial Lidocaine Patch as a Treatment for Ear-ringing

    @Nick47, do you still follow this at all? It’s an old thread, but like so many on these forums, there isn’t much closure or follow-up.

    hi @alanisnotadj I see back in 2023 you talk about gabapentin helping with your hyperacusis and nox, but then I see your response in the linre thread about Duloxetine & Mirtazapine helping these. I'm hoping you can provide more insight into what helped more or was it more of a compounding...

    NAC May Have Helped My Hearing Loss, Although It Definitely Gave Me High-Frequency Tinnitus

    After my onset of high-frequency reactive tinnitus in January, I stopped trying different supplements and treatments to fix it. The only things I currently take are 4 g of Omega-3, 400 mg of Magnesium Biglycinate, and 1000 IU of Vitamin D3. I’m no longer trying to find my frequency, as it’s...

    Losing Myself Because of Unbearable Tinnitus

    Today, as the tinnitus rings on and fills my head, all I can think about for the past few hours is the person who did this to me, the MRI tech who I begged and pleaded to fix my hearing protection, only to be told multiple times it is in properly and threatened to end the session because they...

    NAC May Have Helped My Hearing Loss, Although It Definitely Gave Me High-Frequency Tinnitus

    No, I took NAC during the early onset of my tinnitus from acoustic trauma, and it gave me high-frequency reactive tinnitus, which has been absolute hell on earth.
