I use a professional clipper too, but last time I used my earplugs for the first time. Being very cautious.

HighleyTall I'm in need for a hot tub so I can soak my ears. Gives me a little relieve. »

Heya guys! Just an update about Clomipramine. I had successfully tapered it and eventually stopped taking it. But I had a major setback in late...

HighleyTall commented on Kiyomi's profile post.

Yes, always be carefull. I have no tips, never tried it either. I'm to scared too that it can make it worse. My GP said he had another T patient...

HighleyTall Noticed last night that my tinnitus is COMPLETELY drowning out the sound of the TV (it is always on the same level). »

HighleyTall rated Jammer's post Good Question in the thread Hyperacusis Cured/Reduced by Clomipramine.

Nortriptyline spiked my tinnitus and caused me to have nasty dry mouth and a bit of constipation.

HighleyTall rated RunningMan's post Informative in the thread Hyperacusis Cured/Reduced by Clomipramine.

Nortriptyline (a tricyclic antidepressant like Clomipramine) didn't seem to have any effect on my tinnitus but caused other side effects, and it...

I agree. There are limits to habituation. Pain makes it impossible, just like you can't habituate to toothache. What antidepressants made it worse?

HighleyTall T getting more and more electrical. Don't think i'm gonna make it to next winter »

HighleyTall liked Pinhead's status.

Get up and prepare for another day in hell without a single moment of happiness or relief. I am in hell.

HighleyTall liked Pinhead's status.

My girlfriend complains that I don't listen to half of what she says. Trust me, I'm trying.

HighleyTall liked MiaVIL's comment on cjbhab's profile post

I also find the fleeting T pleasant and in a sick way, a relief from the hissing/clicking/crackling I get. It’s a soft weeze. I had mild ringing...

HighleyTall rated Tiago Brasil's post Hug in the thread Hyperacusis Cured/Reduced by Clomipramine.

Yesterday I tried 25 mg of Clomipramine. It was very bad. Diarrhea, malaise, tinnitus spike, and mental confusion. Now I'm a little better, but it...

HighleyTall This cold on top of the T and H is giving me a very hard time... »

Imagine we could take a pill and repair these nerves!

HighleyTall liked Utdmad89's post in the thread Cilcare's CIL001 Targets Cochlear Synaptopathy — An American/French Collaboration.

You don't have to imagine if you have hyperacusis, lol.

HighleyTall liked Travis Henry's post in the thread Xanax Quiets My Tinnitus — Are There Any Other Similar Drugs Without Psychoactive Effects?.

The best choice to keep tinnitus from getting worse is no medications, time, and quiet. Live inside your comfort zone that doesn't spike tinnitus....

HighleyTall commented on cjbhab's profile post.

I have these fleeting T's too, they don't scare me tho. Sometimes I even find them pleasant. It's like the brain zapps, hissing suppressed and...

HighleyTall I make a lot of mistakes with figures lately, keeping myself focused is proving difficult. »

HighleyTall Two hours of physical work and I'm already exhausted. »

HighleyTall commented on Kiyomi's profile post.

Ever tried Osteopathy?

HighleyTall Just a bit of talking is getting troublesome. This reactive hissing T is NOT in the brain. Tonal T, like I have plenty too, is in the brain. »

HighleyTall rated AmitV's post Informative in the thread Xanax Quiets My Tinnitus — Are There Any Other Similar Drugs Without Psychoactive Effects?.

I’ve also been taking PEA for two weeks now. No benefits yet. Two modifications need to be made for tinnitus and hyperacusis: increasing GABA in...

HighleyTall rated AverageJoe12's post Hug in the thread Xanax Quiets My Tinnitus — Are There Any Other Similar Drugs Without Psychoactive Effects?.

I'm one-sided as well. I think I stood in front of a speaker for too long at nightclub, and that's how I got here. Zero warning signs through...

I would like to see Jastreboff put in a care home and tagged.

HighleyTall liked Muggumbo's post in the thread Tinnitus Research Initiative (TRI) 2024 Conference.

I'm hoping 2025 will be the year of bimodal stimulation. If Dr. Shore's device succeeds, then I expect to see a lot more research centered around...

HighleyTall rated gameover's post Winner in the thread Tinnitus Research Initiative (TRI) 2024 Conference.

Pawel Jastreboff should be a pariah, not a keynote speaker. But when you think about all the useless (at best) therapies his disciples sold and...

HighleyTall rated Cmspgran's post Winner in the thread Tinnitus Research Initiative (TRI) 2024 Conference.

I couldn’t agree more it’s time to look beyond that paradigm now, and rightly so; Pawel Jastreboff had had his day. I lost complete respect for...

HighleyTall When you have hyperacusis you buy the best Peltor. But these are bulky and you sometimes hit the doors. Sounds familiar? »

HighleyTall liked Pinhead's status.

I'm really struggling today. I can't keep myself focused. I feel like leaving work and never coming back. My brain won't shut up.

HighleyTall I have to remember wearing earplugs next time I go inside the postoffice. The lady hits the stamps like a madman. »

HighleyTall Had a very good night, but this doesn't seem to make a big difference anymore. »

HighleyTall replied to the thread How to Protect Against Dentist Sounds?.

Drilling will be impossible for me in the future; they will have to pull. It is what it is.

HighleyTall Coughing is much louder than voice sounds. I think they hurt my ears. »

HighleyTall Woke up with sputtering T on the left and painfull ear and a numb face. Painnitus is like toothache and not a single dentist can help you. »
