Give it time. You are still in early stages. I've had tinnitus for decades, and while I can't say it's decreased, I can say I can ignore it much more easily than before. Please take MAID off your to-do list and give yourself more time to adapt. You will almost certainly adapt to the point you...

I understand what you’re saying, and I agree. What I meant is that, after all these years, there is no hope FOR ME.

No improvement. It is quite consistent as well as constant. The doctors say there is no remedy for tinnitus. My hearing is still pretty good, though, even with some age-related high-frequency loss.

I was at a rock concert in a front-left seat. The giant, school-bus-sized speakers, meant to send sound all the way to the back lawn seats, were not far from my left side. The long-forgotten opening band played their set at a nice, reasonable level. But the very first note the Allman Brothers...

I have had 28 years of nonstop high-pitched ringing. There is no hope. All I can do is ignore it as best I can. I hope you have better luck than I did.

I came across this recently. It seems to be a relatively new product. I wonder if anyone has tried it. Since I have not tried it myself, I will reserve judgment. https://www.audizene.com/

Earplugs cannot help. Dental tools transmit sound directly to your head through bone conduction. However, headphones playing music at a loud enough volume can help.

Welcome to the forum. I am not qualified to give you medical advice, but I can share what has helped me. I take 1 mg of Lorazepam before bed and at other times as needed. This is an anti-anxiety medication, which sounds more like what you might need rather than an antidepressant. 1 mg is the...

Yes, most couples I know who are over around 60 years of age sleep in separate rooms. At some point, the need for quality sleep becomes more important than the desire for romance. Of course, romance can still happen, but getting good sleep can actually enhance it.

Yes, you should protect your hearing at all costs, in any way you can. Avoid loud environments whenever possible. If you cannot avoid them, use effective hearing protection that works well for you.

My tinnitus is unaffected by sleep. It is constant—no great days or spike days, regardless of how much sleep I get. It is just always there. I am a lifelong insomniac, but I do occasionally have nights of good sleep.

There might be one reason to visit the audiologist again. It’s possible that your Lenire device is not properly calibrated to your hearing. You could ask the audiologist to re-test your hearing and adjust the settings on the Lenire accordingly. Considering the cost of the device, it’s probably...

Count mine as one. What a waste.

There was a recent change that hides posters' information on the left side of each post.Now, I must click a "V" shaped symbol to reveal the information. I always like to see the information. Is there an option or setting to always show the information?

@ChrisPK, are you currently taking any medications that might be ototoxic? That could explain the “out of nowhere” onset. If you’re unsure, feel free to list your medications—if that’s not too personal—and someone might be able to suggest a possible cause.
