    Tinnitus Spike After Amoxicillin, Clarithromycin, Doxycycline, and Bismuth Treatment for H. Pylori

    It’s probably from Clarithromycin and Doxycycline. Drugs with those suffixes are known to be ototoxic. Anecdotally, I noticed my tinnitus became a bit louder after a short course of Doxycycline back in 2018. It sounds like you’ve got it under control now, though.

    New University of Michigan Tinnitus Discovery — Signal Timing

    A decrease of 13 TFI points was used as the threshold for success. If they had lowered that to 11 or 9, there would probably have been many more responders than the reported 60 percent.

    WiFi and Tinnitus

    Wi-Fi routers definitely emit a very high-frequency sound, but it should be at a very low decibel level. I have two decibel meters, and neither of them can detect the high-pitched squeal that my Wi-Fi router makes when measured in A-weighted decibels.

    In my experience, extreme anxiety can absolutely cause tinnitus spikes and potentially new sounds, and they can also settle down and go away too, but it usually takes a while---potentially months even after the anxiety is gone. Things can absolutely get better, but you need to get your head...

    Well, don't I feel stupid 🤣 I was imagining a sea of earplug-laden tinnitus people. Thanks again for arranging this.

    New University of Michigan Tinnitus Discovery — Signal Timing

    I really wish I could go to this. I think those of us with hyperacusis tend to be more of the homebody type. Is there any chance we can submit questions online?

    New University of Michigan Tinnitus Discovery — Signal Timing

    The Bionics Institute found that people with very severe tinnitus have reduced cerebral blood flow in certain areas of the brain. Whether this is caused by the stress of having tinnitus or is actually contributing to the generation of tinnitus itself, no one knows for sure. In my opinion...

    From Darkness to Light, How I Recovered from Tinnitus & Hyperacusis

    Thank you for spreading positivity, Billy. Did you find that hearing loss made it harder to deal with your tinnitus? That is honestly my biggest fear in life.

    Poll: Is Your Tinnitus Louder When Wearing Earplugs?

    It is the opposite of residual inhibition. When you block out external sounds, it amplifies internal ones. I am actually surprised that anyone answered “no” to this question.

    Elon Musk’s Neuralink Looking to Treat Tinnitus

    Remember everyone, brain implants require a Brain MRI, and most of these scans exceed 100 dBA. There are plenty of alarming stories about this on here. I am not saying you should lose hope, but it is something to keep in mind.
