For the record, y'all, I was on an intensive keto diet when my tinnitus surfaced. But the advice given (which is a crime to charge for) remains good advice: Keto diets improve health as does fasting, as do anti-inflammatory foods. So take the money you'd spend on this quack's cure and buy some...

Tinnitus is a strange bird. I don't really get "spikes", even though many days are louder than others. I'm having a "quiet morning" today, which means it's there but not bothering me. There are times when it sounds objectively louder, and these are predictable. Jet flights, traveling on...

1 Year now, hasn't gone away, mostly used to it. Have all the strategies in place. Do I miss silence? Yeah...

Veteran here: The U.S. military gives up to 10% disability for hearing loss, and this includes T. Unfortunately, as with many entitlements, freeloaders go after this so it's associated with fraud. (Anyone out there know of a cheap detector? Message me and we'll sell it to Uncle Sam!) I'm...

8 months, 28 days. T a fact of life. Never hear it in my sleep, but when awake always there. Hoping for a cure, meanwhile living defiant!

4 months, 11 days: Good days outnumber bad...finally. T doesn't ever go away but on a bad day worse w/ stress, alcohol, or salty foods.

Great interview, @Markku, @Hazel! Keep it up. This is fantastic, important work. I look forward to the day one of your guests discovers the cure.

Thanks for sharing this @winstona. I believe I will be having a recovery experience like yours and @KMc24. Toughest thing now is that I planned to go to FEQ (been going for a few years now) this year and will be canceling that trip. I love live music but need to err on the side of caution for...

My name is Marcus Skye. Nice to meet everyone. At week 11 now after likely NSAID (meloxicam), possibly noise induced tinnitus. Progress Notes: I've had CT-Scans, Blood tests, Allergy tests, MRIs, and Ultrasounds since this came about in March and was hoping for a physiological explanation but...

Just a quick update for you @PeteJ, since we're both at a similar number of weeks. I have been making efforts to reduce my reaction to tinnitus stress with meditation, sound therapy, diet, supplements and sleep. The volume of the tinnitus has not decreased but my reaction to it has much...

Deep breathes, go for a walk. Take your mind off of your stress. Lower that cortisol, Pete: https://www.wikihow.com/Breathe-Deeply

Hey PeteJ. Hang in there. I'm at about 6.5 weeks. Mine is a high pitched tea kettle. I sympathize with all your feelings as someone new to this. If I read these forums correctly, it does get better, and it can go away. But here's the trick I am using: I am not wasting time hoping or worrying...

I hope you're doing well, Alex. I'm three weeks into this, medication induced. As a military veteran I know it's better not to wrestle with what I cannot control, but to live each day as it comes. Remember Lt. Dan and the storm from Forest Gump? "You'll never sink this boat!" A fierce...

Also very interested in data for drug-induced onset. My ears hurt from loud noises and these make the T worse so I wear earplugs. Also gets louder as the day progresses.

Have any of you gotten better? Please update if so. I'm on week three now. On 19 Mar after taking Meloxicam for 1 week, T woke me up in the middle of the night. The next day pressure in head, ears, dizziness, and a blood pressure spike put me in the ER. Immediately stopped Meloxicam but no...
