I personally know a guy who has been on Clonazepam for seven years now, taking 6 mg daily in three 2 mg doses. He never stops trying to encourage me to give it a try as well, in order to cope better with my tinnitus, which is the reason he takes it. On top of that, he takes it together with an...

My tinnitus onset was back in late 2015. I haven't dared to use earbuds, headphones, or anything like that since then. Despite that, my tinnitus has kept worsening. If I had to give a piece of advice to anyone with tinnitus, it would be: Never use headphones again.

Hi Paulie! We share that same feeling of failing our dearest ones. This condition can be that debilitating. I’ve dealt with tinnitus for 10 years, having some long spikes here and there but still remaining functional and generally upbeat, despite it being very intrusive and harsh. Somehow...

Having this condition is like serving time in jail. One ends up considering too many things.

Just for the record. I've been on Lexapro 10 mg for five years with no negative impact on my tinnitus whatsoever. I jumped to 15 mg one month ago.

That is interesting, as mine behaves in the same way, shrill and metallic. My tinnitus has fluctuated since onset 10 years ago. I noticed that immediately. But then I had prolonged spikes that lasted for days or weeks, during which both versions of my tinnitus swing around. The loud angle...

Sorry to hear that. I have never experienced any form of hyperacusis, and I feel the utmost respect for those who cope with both tinnitus and H, and of course, noxacusis. It’s the same for me. The first thing I do when I wake up is notice how loud it is and think about having a full day ahead...

Hi there! How's your tinnitus now? Has it become more stable? I'm into a 4-month spike with some random good days here and there, and I'm hoping it settles soon, as I feel exhausted.

@Regis, @Joeseph Stope, @Robster, @hubast. Thank you all for your valuable input. I'm going to share a couple of audiograms here. This one was done a month after the spike started. As I later saw a huge air-bone gap at high frequencies in my right ear, I tried to figure out what could be the...

Hi there! I developed tinnitus 10 years ago after a childhood plagued with otitis and a life of abusing loud music through headphones, along with an acoustic trauma. I have a 60 dB loss at 8 kHz. I navigated these 10 years reasonably well, with some spikes here and there that always resolved...

I'm in a similar predicament. Did yours resolve?

No joke, I feel like throwing up when I have unbearable spikes!

I don’t think Neuromod cares about improving their product, as they seem to have realized they can keep profiting from people’s despair. If you search online for “best working treatment for tinnitus,” the first result you’ll see is “Bimodal stimulation / Lenire.” There’s no need for them to...

Hey Gary, how are you doing this days?

I’ve gotten worse after 10 years of diligently wearing NRR 33 earplugs in environments above 75-80 dB.
