    Am I the Unluckiest Person on Earth When It Comes to Tinnitus? My 6-Year Tinnitus Nightmare: How One Festival Changed My Life

    Hi folks! Just a little update about my situation. I have been taking only 7.5 mg of Mirtazapine to sleep for a week now. Before that, I was taking up to 45 mg (the maximum dose) and then gradually reduced it to the minimum dose. I can clearly see a difference. My sleep is not as catastrophic...

    Unfortunately, no. My tinnitus became extremely intense (even though it was already bad) two years ago, because I tried to resume my social life. Since then, my sleep has been catastrophic. Mirtazapine and melatonin, which used to work quite well, no longer has any effect. It's hopeless... I...

    Salut, it must be horrible not to have the support of our parents. I'm also having sleepless nights for years because of tinnitus. I know the feeling 😔 Are you taking any medicine to help sleep?

    I hope you're not serious?! Don't do something like that. Tinnitus can improve, please be patient. It takes years. You have your whole life ahead of you, don't do anything foolish :(

    Hyperacousis does get better over time, if you don't overprotect your ears all the time and if you expose your ears little by little to sound which are not supposed to be harmful (<70 db). I wish I could sleep again. I didn't have a restful sleep for like 2 years :(

    The thread was created two months ago. So yes, if there have been so few reactions in two months, that raises questions.

    AdventHealth Research Institute Offers Phase II Clinical Trial of Etanercept for Treatment of Blast-Induced Tinnitus

    Hi everyone, Could someone please help me understand, as I’m not sure I have this right. We have a treatment already in phase II trials that is intended to treat tinnitus in patients exposed to an explosion. Since an explosion is a sound, it could also potentially help those who developed...

    For some people, spikes subside, while for others, the tinnitus returns to its initial state. Unfortunately, for others, the worsening symptoms seem to be permanent. This is the case for me; my symptoms have worsened since I tried to resume my social life two years ago.

    New University of Michigan Tinnitus Discovery — Signal Timing

    I humbly admit that I tend to be a rather negative person in life, because my motto is, “Expect the worst so you are prepared for anything.” However, when it comes to Auricle, I genuinely want to believe that it will work, even if only to reduce tinnitus and finally allow me to sleep again. I...

    Salut, I also have a sort of electric/metallic sound that seems to move around inside my head. This is one of the 5 sounds I hear that bothers me the most. Complete silence is not good for hyperacusis. Your hears have to get used little by little to noise. But loud noise is definitely dangerous!

    I first got tinnitus when I was 21 year old, during my Erasmus exchange program (but it was very mild). So I know what it is to have hearing issues during youth. I'm 34 now, and I have been having exremely disabling tinnitus for 6 years.

    That's what we call an incurable disease. Nobody can help us unfortuntely :( "Get used to it" say all doctors. Yeah, get used to suffer your entire life... What a nice way to respond to a patient. I hope Auricle could at least alleviate tinnitus.
