    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.

    That's great news! Does your neurologist think your ear symptoms are actually a type of migraine disorder? And did you ever try taking B2 and magnesium according to the clinical protocol?

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

    I do not think it is a good idea to push yourself to the point of ear fatigue if it results in more pain and sensitivity. Once you notice ear fatigue, it is best to stop for the day and then reassess how you are feeling the following morning. If you choose to approach this as a form of...
