derpytia

Yeah. I've had multiple blood tests done for other various reasons and all my vitamin levels checked out as normal.

I purchased a hearing aid that has helped my Tinnitus. If you wear the hearing aid to sleep with a sound machine at your bedside, I have found that this really helps me sleep better! It going to be good derpytia!

Nice to hear from you. I think the last time I read your chats were 2014. I was going through a spike and you were going through a bad time. I'm in another spike I hope you are doing well. Kind regards, Ken

What are you writing? Novel? Short story?

The write up for my turmeric/curcumin self test.

How do you know it's ETD/Ear Fluid and not ear fullness having to do with nerve damage or middle ear damage?

I have chronic DIAGNOSED ETD. I know when my ears are filled with fluid. It's especially bad when now that it's allergy season.

Hanging in there as usual.

want to chat sometime?

@Jack Straw I wish. The whistle tones are back, loud and proud today! Such is the nature of T.

Have you tried curcumin tablets? It is an ingredient in tumeric.

Yeah that's essentially what the pill I took is. Only problem is it gave me heart palpations which is kinda risky.

I hope a doctor can help you sort it out, if this is the case!

Ugh I'm so sorry!!

Sorry to hear that. I hope you get better.

Worst when it coincides with a full moon.

I really hope you start to slowly feel better and regain some kind of hope to hold on to. Mute button seems will hopefully help :) there’s also the Shim South Korea which exist to this, also stem cells. There’s so much for you to hang on, I really hope you begin to feel better again :/

Hang on for better days x

Stay strong, I hope you slowly begin to get better. Think of mute button, that’s a hope.

Hug emocon.

I'm sorry to hear that. From what see on the site I can tell you're a fighter. I hope you stick with it a while longer.

You probably already know this but the Neuromod interview with Steve is today! And the device apparently also helped to reduce hyperacusis. Really hoping this device will help many of us...

we need to know what type of hyperacusis.

@Bill Bauer Ear irrigation to remove ear wax.

Was the wax removed manually, or was microsuction involved?

Used a wax removal kit as prescribed by my doctor. Used the oil to soften the wax and a rubber bulb to clear the softened wax. My mind didn't make the syringing connection with the rubber bulb. Basically, what happened to Markku happened to me.

I agree!

I think we're all lost. I wanna help. Ed has given me some good ideas, but other then donating money what can I do?

There are small ways you can make a difference. You can let your voice be heard. Tell people about tinnitus. Don't let them make you shut up about it. Direct people to information about it that's relevant to you. That's just some of the small things you can do :)

@PDodge reach out to @Markku. I am sure there is always some work that can be done to help Tinnitus Hub grow and spread awareness.

Yea. I wake up to the sound of a blender every single time I fall asleep on the couch. My dad practically yells in my ear. Sick of my family but oh well.

Comprehend. Some people don't change their habits....

I dont think family members do it on purpose. They honestly don't understand. Dont hold it against them!

I know. I've met people who say they got used to their tinnitus and "they don't hear it anymore," and I can get used to it like them. But I hear my tinnitus all the time.

Yes. A million times yes.
