    Introducing Tinnitus Quest

    I just saw the latest update. It makes me really happy to see bigger names starting to get on board. ☺️ I have always believed there is a way for science to rapidly alleviate tinnitus symptoms, however complicated that may be. To my knowledge, this is the strongest initiative I have seen moving...

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

    I am really glad if my message lifted your mood a little bit. :) I wanted to quickly respond to the part I quoted. Again, take my message with a grain of salt. I am not a sleep expert and can only speak from my own experience. When I read, "How can you sleep when your tinnitus is extremely...

    I'm Fine — Tinnitus Is Basically Not a Thing Anymore

    I am personally thankful to you for that. Keeping a positive and hopeful outlook is something I aim to achieve, if only because I am convinced it is the best choice for my own health. Messages like yours help me with that.

I really, really, really do not mean to give you bad advice or sound like a know-it-all, because we all know how this condition varies for each individual. But I want to try to help you, and therefore I will write a few suggestions that I...

    Tinnitus Onset 2.0: Tracking Progress, Setbacks, and Hope

    MAY WRAP-UP A quick one this time. I properly had my best week of the year in the first half of the month. I had a random setback of about ten days in the second half of the month, with a long series of intense days, at least symptom-wise. I am really making a conscious effort to stay grounded...

    I'm Fine — Tinnitus Is Basically Not a Thing Anymore

    A lot of what is written here resonates with my own tinnitus experience. The more I read about it, think about “solving it,” or look for supplements that might soothe the volume even just a little, the more tinnitus seems to become abrasive, both in volume and tone. One could argue the...

    One Night Out with Earplugs Triggered a Severe Tinnitus Spike After Years of Stability

    Hoping for the best for you. It’s unbelievable how fragile ears can be or become. I hope you won’t stay angry at yourself. You did your best, and given how deceptive a full recovery can feel, it’s completely natural and human to be tempted by activities that, for most people—especially with...

    Six Years Later: My Journey Through Tinnitus and Hyperacusis Recovery

    No disrespect, but I've seen you comment negatively or suspiciously on quite a few success stories, and I'm not sure I understand the purpose of that. I've been going through a second tinnitus onset for a few months now. Having had success after my first onset 15 years ago, I can confirm from...

    Tinnitus Onset 2.0: Tracking Progress, Setbacks, and Hope

    April Wrap-Up This month brought the most significant improvements so far in terms of the number of good days, overall stability, mood, and productivity. I recorded a 2025 best of four good days in a row. I define these as days when the tinnitus was mostly in the background and did not disturb...

    Introducing Tinnitus Quest

    Wow, we reached it?! 😲 It seems like someone donated more than $3,000 to eventually bring the total to $10,000. That is absolutely incredible. A million thanks to that person, and of course to everyone else who contributed. Also, huge thanks to Jocelyn and everyone who helped set up this...

    Introducing Tinnitus Quest

    One reason it would be great to reach the $10,000 is also because of the symbolism. Big victories start with small wins. And who knows, it might even bring some bonus publicity in the local newspaper or elsewhere if Jocelyn reaches his goal. It will be difficult, but not impossible. I’ve...

    Research on the Origins of Hyperacusis and Potential Future Cochlear Imaging

    The theory and observations around efferent feedback from the brain, as mentioned in the video above and also discussed here, really feel like a promising path to explore further. On a conceptual level, it just seems to make so much sense, as @HighleyTall has highlighted. I also hope this is...

    Tone Generator Video Gave Me Tinnitus

    Really sorry you’ve had this setback. Phone speakers can definitely produce terrible sounds. For what it’s worth, spikes can be troublesome for a while, but in many cases they tend to settle down. I have no expertise, but I would imagine your system is still very fragile from the initial...
