    Did you end up taking Prednisone at any point? If so, how did that go?

    Also, do you have experience with other medications, like Gabapentin? If you do, I'd love to hear how they effected your tinnitus. Thanks!

    I'm trying so hard but just seek to be getting worse. Also how did you start reintroducing noise? If you can remember how much you suffered and were desperate for help then please could you get back to me! Thank you
    Rockman
    It just starting getting better, could listen to TV a little louder, could go outside without earplugs. I just said I'm doing stuff in reason and did it
    Zigs
    Hey, sorry I know you said that your H improved out of nowhere once your stress reduced. I'm just wondering how you managed to get your stress under control when you were only getting worse, two years in etc, confined to your room?
    Zigs
    Sorry this is quite personal, but do you have kids or a family? How did your family, work etc cope with you staying in one room most of the time?
    Rockman
    They were very understanding, I do have a kiddo. He was always alert to my problem and did his best not to be really loud. Family were supportive, never said oooo get over it your faking it anything like that. If anything besides your ears are stressing you out, you got to get rid of it! My ears hurt more when I had stress, toxic people will cause this.

    My favorite is the native American flute relaxing. Takes weight off your chest
    S
    Same here. Native flute music just has one of the most calming feels too it.

    I just downloaded it. It has a ton of sounds, very nice all of them
    Rockman
    I highly recommend ambience sound app. It has rocks stacked as it's picture. I have pretty bad H and could find many different sounds
    TheDanishGirl
    That's the only one I use. You can combine so many sounds, and adjust the volume. I bought it to avoid ads (it's cheap!) I even added some self-recorded sounds that I mixed with some of the app sounds. It's the best sound generator app that is out there.

    Let me know if anyone gives it a try

    How about that Kings/Wild game last night?!?
    CW Dragon
    Ooh a Wild fan also here. Gosh I wish my Wings were still in the Western conference (dominating it as always). I better hope no Avs fans here... Anyway, GL tomorrow night, Kings at Wings
    Rockman
    Wowzers. We need goalies! Exciting game though

    What are the most comfortable muffs? The x5a get a little clumsy and make my ears hurt
    kingsfan
    X5a are way too clunky. I use the x4a, usually with plugs underneath.

    You could try some headphones that have good noise cancelling features. I'm not sure how good they are though but for sure comfy
    Nadia231
    Yes @SmallRonnie I have X5 Peltor for home as they are too bulky. Then I got a pair of noise cancelling headphones which are meant to be for music obviously, but I wear them everywhere and they cancel out lots of noise.

    Anybody get head pain. Example if you drop a spoon on the floor while wearing muffs? Doesn't hurt the ears but the center of my brain
    CRGC
    A lot of my delayed pain from H centers around my head. Goes from a dull ache in the ear towards the jaw and the head. When it's bad I can get nauseous from it.

    Hi Rockman,

    Did you ever figure out an idea that works safely for taping padding for ear muffs to minimize the impact into walls and hard things coming quickly at them?

    Warm regards,

    -Tyler

    I never did. I'm just way more cautious about moving around things. The peltot x5a. Doesn't cause near the loud bangs when bumped into things
    TheIncident
    Thank you for letting me know. I appreciate it a lot @Rockman

    Ears started popping and a feeling of them opening up. Like unclogging. I only listened for about 5 mins. It's called Beltone tinnitus app
    Rockman
    I use to listen to babbling Brook sounds every night while sleeping. Had to stop. But tonight just sitting here I mixed Brook with crickets.
    Rockman
    Bathroom fan is the worst for me. I can across the house with the door closed and it still drives my ear crazy . Problem is it doesn't stop
    Marshall
    Reactivity is ass
    Rockman
    Man alive! If it stopped when the sounds do probably wouldn't be as bad. But it lingers for hours
    Rockman
    Fellow reactive t people. Sounds drive it crazy but you know aren't harmful. Do you listen to it or run for the hills?
    ZFire
    A bit of both. But mostly just listening to it. There's no way I can run away from sounds that trigger reactivity where I live. I Deal with it and hope it stops sometime in the future
    MindOverMatter
    Agree with what @ZFire said. Unless your LDL is so low, and you get physical pain of sounds like fans and such, there is no point in covering up imo. It will only make you more sensitive. With time it tends to get better.
