      Hi @AverageJoe12 -- have you started taking Topamax along with Nortriptyline per the Djalilian protocol? Have you had any changes either way, positive or otherwise?

        I asked my mental health professional for Clomipramine, but he told me that he can prescribe me only if I come to him with OCD issues.

        Higher pitch than that. Way higher pitch. That soundscape actually sounds nice to my ears and would be a good tinnitus masker ha. Clenching my jaw increases the pitch of the ringing until I unclench.

        Mine is higher pitch also, but maybe it is possible i interpret the sound totally different then you because above 3kHz a lot is completely gone...

        More and more researchers seem to be focusing on tinnitus as a form of chronic pain. For me, it feels that way now. I think this could be a breakthrough. Until then, I would cherish the ears.

      Hello, you have reactive tinnitus, how do you cope?

        hey sorry for the delay here. i'm still trying to find out how. it's a struggle. i get burning in the ear as well, presumably a TTTS of sorts when my ear tries to protect itself

    Tinnitus Since:
    02/2023
    Cause of Tinnitus:
    Night club in Feb ‘23, MRI in Feb '24, drummer since age 15
    I have unilateral hyperacusis in my right ear. I woke up with it and tinnitus, floaters, and light sensitivity after a night club outing in February 2023. It was later worsened by an MRI in February 2024 with insufficient hearing protection. While the hyperacusis is unilateral, my T feels more central (brain tinnitus) and is very reactive to sound.

    Currently following Dr. Djalilian's migraine prophylaxis protocol for T & H. Considering trying clomipramine or the Silverstein surgery if no improvements this year.
