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.

How is this even possible?

My doctors think that I have the genetic predisposition (gene expression or mutation) to lose hearing easier than most people.

It would make sense since I was born with a genetic defect in my eye that resulted in surgery to remove my lens in that eye when I was ten days old.

Who knows how many genetic things I have going on.

I'm sorry to hear that. I hope you start feeling better soon!

I love eating crunchy food cause it masks my T perfectly. Wish I could just eat chips all the time :D

I'd have more faith in FB. Youtube is going downhill fast for new users and even old users because of their new rules and regulations.

Right, maybe what I should have said was do something cross site, like Dtube or Vimeo, limiting it to one site may make it harder to get the message out.

Also look up sounds similar to Yours to add to the video as an example to give folks a feel for what it's like, quote key research sites to put facts out, get this community to back You maybe not financially but in other ways, even if as witnesses they could be assets.

But did it stick?

One can only hope right? I think with my neurologist it did because I told him "well now when you have patients coming in with my symptoms you won't dismiss it at something else" and he nodded.

Oooh I would have paid to see that, not that I have anything against Him or whatnot, still professionals today forget that their learning came from folks Who thought outside the box or knew first hand, was there smoke in the room after?

I feel the same!

I wish i had my old tinnitus too.

ADs can have that capability of modulating the T sound. Sometimes it gets better, sometimes it gets worse. In my case, I would say that is just sounds a bit different, more uniform and slightly easier to deal with. Main AD effect is that I do not care as much about the T.

@InfiniteLoop which one worked for you?

@vermillion. I am taking a low dose of Celexa (5 to 10mg). The standard 20mg tends to agitate the T.
