    Facing a Tough Decision: Should I Stay or Move Due to Nearby Construction and Noise Concerns?

    Oh, I see now. You are on a yearly lease that runs through October. For some reason, I thought your lease was ending on July 31. It sounds like you might be better off making a fresh start somewhere new, especially since your building management has been difficult to deal with and the...

    Facing a Tough Decision: Should I Stay or Move Due to Nearby Construction and Noise Concerns?

    You certainly have my sympathy. I know there is not much time, but is it possible to speak with the construction site boss between now and Monday night to get a more specific timeline of events? For example, what kind of construction equipment will be used this summer, and how loud it will be...

    Voluntary Assisted Dying / Euthanasia for Tinnitus Patients (Pegasos Swiss Association, Switzerland)

    It is now July 8. Did you ever go to Switzerland in June, or are you still deciding what to do? I am so sad for you and for all of us who find ourselves in such an awful predicament. I'm approaching the three-year anniversary of my acoustic injury, and I have not improved to a significant...

    Apart from Tinnitus, Curious If Anyone Is Experiencing Similar Symptoms as Me?

    @Suzerman, I don’t know if you’ll ever see this message, but if you’re still around, can I ask how you’re doing now? Did you ever find a solution for all your symptoms?

    I'm happy to hear you're doing better! May I ask if you've ever tried clomipramine, and if so, what made you switch to nortriptyline? I've never taken either one, and I still can't decide which one I would ask for.

    Sorry to hear that. I do have ear pain in silence sometimes. Are you taking B2 and magnesium along with the nortriptyline?

    How I Healed My Tinnitus with Cervical Chiropractics

    I’m really happy for you! Thank you so much for sharing this information, as it could be helpful to others here. My tinnitus was caused by noise exposure, but lately I’ve developed some neck and shoulder pain that creates a tugging sensation in my ear, so I’ve been looking into somatic...

    Trivia Fun

    My guess would have been, “Shake well before using.” @Greg Sacramento, I’m amazed by all the anatomical expertise you shared here. I hope the reason you’re no longer on the board is that your health improved or that you found new hobbies or interests. I’ve been re-reading some of your older...

    Ear Fatigue and Sensitivity After Talking for Long Periods — Is My Hyperacusis Getting Worse?

    I have definitely experienced ear fatigue on my worst days, even just from talking or being talked to. I know many others on the board have said the same in the past, so you are not alone. I wish you well as you continue to experiment with this. It is good to have some kind of social connection...

    Difficulty Hearing While Wearing My Peltor Earmuffs: Do I Have New Hearing Loss?

    @quietatnight, if you search this website for the word “Prilosec,” you’ll find many posts where people discuss the effect it had—or didn’t have—on their tinnitus. Hopefully, one of those posts will be helpful to you. It must be incredibly disappointing to experience an increase in tinnitus after...

    Ultrasound-Guided Stellate Ganglion Block for the Treatment of Tinnitus

    According to Google, only around 80 percent of people have a stellate ganglion. That’s because the definition of a stellate ganglion involves the fusion of two (or sometimes more) ganglia. The other 20 percent of people have the same ganglia, just without the fusion. I wonder whether this is...

    Acoustic Shock → Misdiagnosis → PPPD: 18 Months of Pain and Finally a Way Out

    I’m so happy for you, Jack! Very few people on this website have ever mentioned Persistent Postural-Perceptual Dizziness, or its acronym, PPPD. (I know because I just searched for it and didn’t find much discussion.) I’m really glad you shared your story, because it might be relevant to someone...

    You've had nox for a long time, haven't you? Why are they making you go to the ER today? Did something new happen to your ears? Sending hugs.
