I see that you joined in late January 2025, so I conclude that your tinnitus onset was sometime in January 2025, about five months ago. You are still in the acute (early onset) phase. Your chances of it getting better are pretty good. It would be helpful to have a good ENT who understands...

Glow-in-the-dark axolotls reveal a clue in the mystery of limb regeneration To cheer you up and divert your attention from tinnitus: a) It is all about retinoic acid! Now why did I not think of that! b) Humanity has been evolving in the wrong direction. We should reverse course and develop...

Well, as I have said before, it is never too late. Fire up the motors and inject the substance again. See if it works this time.

Hi Kam75, I'm shocking ignorant about computers. I think you added a lot to the dialogue with JoeCync... could you explain to me what "following you" means? Sorry that I'm so ignorant. Vive la France joeseph Stope

Maybe we should view it all like a football match. We all want our team to win the World Cup, but it takes a few years to train a good team. With diligence, hard work, and a good trainer, a team eventually develops that can coordinate things well. At some point along the way, we may even get a...

What is the name of that movie again? One Flew Over the Cuckoo’s Nest! That is it. Of course, that movie was about the inmates living locked up on the funny farm. There is nothing crazy about us, right, Napoleon? Ha! Just kidding, @Tom Cnyc. But let me say that you are one very lucky person...

Progress, progress! Now we can deliver the goods to the correct address. The only thing left to do is produce the right goods. :popcorndrink:

First of all, I want to say a big thank you for taking the time, making the effort, and having the patience to share your story and clarify the parts that were difficult to understand. Hang in there—or maybe I should say hang in here. As long as it does not push you out of the “sweet spot” of...

Jehoshaphat! The medics should examine two individuals in depth: @Kam75, who exposed himself to moderately loud social gatherings. As a result, his tinnitus and hyperacusis worsened significantly—to the point of becoming almost unbearable. @Tom Cnyc, who did much the same but to an even...

Duh… me again. I was shooed out of the library yesterday while I was in the middle of delivering my saga on one of the computers. That might have been a good thing, though, as it gave me a day to mull everything over. And really, when I think about the entire ongoing tinnitus experience in...

So sorry to see you in this state. Maybe my experience can shed some light on the situation, but above all, you should find a good ENT or audiologist with experience in treating tinnitus and hyperacusis. There must be someone in Paris. Perhaps Frédéric, the super intelligent red haired guy who...

I’m starting to lean toward the idea that perhaps the solution to the tinnitus problem lies in solving the hearing loss problem. A more holistic approach might be the key. So how do you learn to jump two meters? Simple — just learn to jump four meters, and two will be easy. 🙄

I’ve been mulling this dialogue over in my mind. Some patients benefit enormously from getting on with life and can handle loud environmental noises without much difficulty. Others, especially those with reactive tinnitus, may do fine until something like an ambulance passes by with its siren...

You certainly present a strong argument. But let’s imagine you are giving advice or a talk to a group of people dealing with reactive tinnitus and hyperacusis: “Everyone, try to forget your tinnitus and get on with your life. That starts with ignoring the spikes that unpleasant sounds can...

Your contribution is much appreciated. The time and effort you put into explaining your situation, and the depth you went into, makes for a very good and thoughtful read. Without a doubt, it will bring hope to many people on this forum. However, there was one small part of your summary that...
