sorry to hear that, man. I may have Celiac's sadly - but would take having that over T 100x over.

Me. I got it a few months ago from using CPAP. Did the Epley manoeuvre and it went away, Hasn't come back.

@Uklawyer dude it one yesterday and it kinda worked for me the one that helps the most is half sommesault

Not sure what that one is, but do whatever helps. I'm happy it helped me - hopefully you'll sort it out.

@in_LA This seems to have happen same time with your fatty liver diagnosis? Feel you need to update you PCP. There is info. online to try yourself under ear crystals, epley maneuver to try yourself, (which takes time). Drink lots of water too.

@sakrt been drinking lots of water, i tried the Wiley and it kinda helped half somersault is what worked for me so far

@Marshall from eating too much good stuff, i gotta go on a diet, and sadly will always have to watch myself.

@ZFire hey bro my ears haven't changed too much from 2 weeks ago, still taking NAC and I'm hoping I'll be better by next year, what about you?

Gotta go with a healthy lifestyle. Maybe T was a Sign..??

I know bad health can 100% make T worse. You got this man!!

Used to happen to me every morning until i got T. But it's starting to happen again so i think that means i'm bothered by t less and less

@Marshall I'm glad your t bothers you less, and hopefully it goes away completely. Yeah I remember i could always hear my thoughts and now it seems my brain wants more music,i used to always have headphones before so maybe that's whymy brain miss music.

I like to think when I’m playing music in my head it’s like filler for not wanting to actually think lmao

Try not to stress bro.I’ve had many tinnitus tones and noise come and go.

@ZFire thanx for the comment bro, i hope this is the case, today in the lobby I couldn't hear it so that's good, just my good ol T lol

Could you tell me how loud the MRI was? Was it a 3T device?

@Labyrinthine my MRI was loud but was able to wear double ear protection, it was a Philips 3T machine, make sure if you get one to wear double ear protection.

So considering it's loudness, it was tolerable with double protection? What body part was scanned in your case?

@ZFire bro I'm beginning to suspect shores device might end up being vaporware, it's taken forever and their funding has been inconsistent, but I could be wrong, do you know when they're supposed to release it?

@ZFire not going to lie I was hoping hearing regeneration would've had some good results in trials by now, but as you said it'll probably be another 10 years before it reaches the market.

@in_LA , regarding shore’s device, your guess is good as mine…

@ZFire my palinacousi is very inconsistent, lately I've been taking music home but it's definitely deminished and less intrusive, but still noticeable, since they play Basy loud music at work for 8 hours my ears I guess have a timer of how much they can take before the music is triggered.

@CW Dragon how did your accoustic trauma happen? Make sure if you go to an MRI that you can use double protection, and ask for a queit mode for the MRI,some machines have it.

The worst thing you can do to your ear, impulse noise from a firecracker about a meter in front of me. Damaged my left ear but my right remained the same for some God forsaken reason. I got 32db rated ear foam plugs, but I'm not sure how effective they are since I keep forgetting the scale is logarithmic. Will use my trusty ear muffs too

Yeah tell me about out it bro. There’s no decency or regard for us.

How long does your palinacousis usually last for?

@ZFire sorry for the late reply, my palinacousis usually lasts about 3 hours at its loudest, after that, it'll get fainter but still annoying. Though I haven't had seriously loud ones In 2 weeks which is nice, still I hate vents and fans when I get even minor ones cause they produce music or chatter.

@ZFire right, do you have ETD? If so does it get better?

It’s gotten better overtime. Still not where it needs to be, but far better than a year ago.

@ZFire i sometimes have good days and bad days, my ears will wake up achy, or simply irritated somewhat, like today, not extremely bad but definitely noticeable.

Bro it's sad my T is under control but my palinacousis drives me mad, I'm afraid of the mri but I'm still going, want to make sure nothing is wrong. Btw what state are you in?

@in_LA I have, but it was back in 2010 when I had no issue with sound and still playing gigs and clubbing regularly. I still remember it being LOUD.

@in_LA I would not get one now with tinnitus unless I was having obvious signs of a brain issue, like slurred speech.

Its loud and I would only do it again in the next 5 years when my life would depend on it. However if you want to have peace of mind that nothings wrong with your brain then do it.

peltor x5a and x4a are all plastic and should work. you can get them on amazon

@kingsfan the thing is it's a brain mri so I can't wear earmuffs and I'm trying to double protect, I don't wanna take loud noises home. Is there a way I can do this?

Foam earplugs coupled with sleeping earplugs plus the muffs they give you

https://1of1custom.com/products/pro-10-custom-ear-plug-2 they have many options. Try to see which one will work best for you. You have universal ones too.

Btw I replied to your post regarding palinacousis if you didn’t see.

I got mine in NY and the brand is Micro Sonic.

@NYCGuy ok cool, good to know, I'll bring in both, doesn't 3m have a bad rep? I thought they were being sued by US veterans?

@NYCGuy when you got your mri was it a head mri?

Mine was a head mri

Hey @in_LA, I don't have palinacousis myself, just somatic T and reactive T. Zoloft is the SSRI, and nowadays I take Gabapentin, which is meant to be more fast-acting. These were both to address my anxiety/depression and have worked in that regard. The docs didn't address my T specifically but said Gabapentin is used to treat pain due to nerve damage.

@Joe Cuber how did you get nerve damage and where? Did m the anti anxiety drug do anything to male libido? If so which one does is less likely to disturb make libido? You suffer from depression? I'm sorry, I beat depression but I'm back to square one

I don't necessarily have nerve damage. I was prescribed Gabapentin primarily for anxiety. They just mentioned it's a drug for people with nerve damage. Zoloft affects male libido a lot. My doc suggested Cymbalta for anti-anxiety/depression if libido is an issue.

@ZFire, yeah you're right.

@Joe Cuber, it is a musical concert, but I've had this issue since June, so maybe avoiding loudness is smart, I'll heed your advice.

Lets your esrs heal, you may do more damage. Don't push your luck.

All the best

Good luck, neurologist don’t do nothing but try to give you antidepressants saying it’ll lower tinnitus.

@stacey, it's not my tinnitus I'm trying to stop, it's music stuck in my head, but I agree, I hope it does stay with me though.

Get your t levels checked.. go on TRT

Some of the things that boost test naturally have been on TT as thing that help their T or make it worse. Catch 22

@in_LA Seems most drugs for T sufferers, also affects sex drive. This url has some useful info: www.healthgrades.com/right-care/sexual-health/9-drugs-that-can-affect-your-sex-drive?hid=nxtup&tpc=latest-news

Living the limp life ;)

I'm not 100 percent sure if I do have it though, it was only a 25milligrams one, my ears have been acting funky since June, ever since I had what seemed like an infection, I have an appointment this Monday with the doctor. What should I do? I took it yesterday

Its not profound, it just feels like the volume has been turned down a bit, but this is not the first time my ears have done this, these past few weeks.
