    Assessment of Treatment Efficacy in Patients with Chronic Tinnitus: An Ambispective Cohort Study

    I managed to obtain the PDF. The pharmacological treatment includes Amitriptyline, Clonazepam, and Ginkgo Biloba. I only skimmed through the text, but the aim and conclusion of the article are to demonstrate that pharmacological treatments alone are less effective than a combination of...

    Assessment of Treatment Efficacy in Patients with Chronic Tinnitus: An Ambispective Cohort Study

    I am asking my partner, who has institutional credentials, if he can access it. If not, you might have some luck by emailing the author directly.

    Struggling with Tinnitus Spikes from Digital Audio: Any Speaker Recommendations?

    Hello everyone, I’ve had tinnitus for a year now, and although I am coping much better—and sleeping much better too—I am still struggling with certain noises. My tinnitus is not constant. By that, I mean it can shift quickly from a hiss to a ringing sound. One of the things that triggers these...

    Currently trying to not care about my tinnitus and hyperacusis and it's actually working. Tinnitus is less reactive and when it is, it doesn't last long (except for the 2 days of ambulance siren phantom noise I got lol)

    A Year Later, I Don't Know What My Tinnitus Baseline Is

    Oh, that’s good to know! What are your triggers, and what are you doing to avoid them? In my case, I’m currently wondering if I might have chronic sinusitis. I have a lot of breathing issues, and my TMJ specialist told me he could tell from my posture that I mouth breathe. I also suspect I...

    Right Ear Spontaneously Became Numb & Tinnitus Got SUPER Loud!

    I get similar sensations all the time when I am lying in bed. Usually, I can feel my tinnitus cutting in and out before it happens, so I have a chance to get up. But if I do not, I get the piercing tinnitus, which can last from 10 seconds to a few days. The longest it lasted for me was two days...

    @Scruffiey thank you very much for the advice. Today I spent most of my day without my ear muffs. The cotton lets just enough sound so I can habituate to everyday noises without too much stress and pain

    We also had mold issues in our bedrooms, and the two times it happened, my tinnitus lessened a lot after clearing the mold.

    Since last November, I've been having more and longer periods where my T is predominantly a hiss. Although it's also reactive, the intensity of neck and jaw pain I have is directly related to the loudness and nature of my T.

    A Year Later, I Don't Know What My Tinnitus Baseline Is

    Update: I think I have a slight idea of what my baseline is, but the issue is that I cannot figure out how to stay at baseline. As I have mentioned, my tinnitus is extremely reactive and somatosensory. The problem is that I am a very tense person. Even the slightest stress causes all my...

    I cannot WAIT to move out. Got woken up by someone vacuuming for the second time in the week. When it's not vacuums, it's alarms. I rarely have a full night of sleep; it's insane.
