    NAC May Have Helped My Hearing Loss, Although It Definitely Gave Me High-Frequency Tinnitus

    If you do try it, let us know how it goes. I’ve been taking Liposomal Glutathione, which is said to be the compound that makes NAC effective for hearing loss. I’ve found that, in this form, it doesn’t seem to have a negative effect on my tinnitus.

    NAC May Have Helped My Hearing Loss, Although It Definitely Gave Me High-Frequency Tinnitus

    I agree with you that tinnitus changes over time, but I disagree that NAC didn’t cause some of those changes. On three different occasions, I noticed that just two to three hours after taking NAC, I would get high-frequency sounds that came and went. These only appeared after taking NAC and...

    NAC May Have Helped My Hearing Loss, Although It Definitely Gave Me High-Frequency Tinnitus

    It’s crazy how similar your case is to mine. Both of us developed high-frequency tinnitus from sound trauma, and both right after taking NAC. However, my high-frequency tinnitus went down dramatically after I stopped taking NAC. I’m now trying Clinical Sublingual Glutathione in the morning and...

    NAC May Have Helped My Hearing Loss, Although It Definitely Gave Me High-Frequency Tinnitus

    Let me get this straight. You didn’t take NAC for an already existing case of tinnitus that later got worse, but instead you actually developed tinnitus after taking NAC? If that’s the case, how much NAC did you take, for how long, and what was the reason for taking it in the first place, if...

    NAC May Have Helped My Hearing Loss, Although It Definitely Gave Me High-Frequency Tinnitus

    I’m about to reach two months since I started living with this hellfire of a sound. One of the things that keeps me hopeful, aside from the good recovery prognosis, is that I keep trying new supplements and strategies to fix or reduce the tinnitus. This week, I’m adding Clinical Sublingual...

    NAC May Have Helped My Hearing Loss, Although It Definitely Gave Me High-Frequency Tinnitus

    Those statistics are reassuring. I’m feeling better mentally than I was yesterday, even though the spike is still there. It’s just that after two days of complete celebration for seemingly recovering out of nowhere, I told everyone around me about it. My wife was happy, and even my...

    NAC May Have Helped My Hearing Loss, Although It Definitely Gave Me High-Frequency Tinnitus

    I’m sad to report that I was overconfident. I thought I was cured and exposed myself to moderate noise levels in an office that, according to my decibel meter, peaks at 90 dBA but averages around 70 dBA. I didn’t use earplugs for about three to four hours. After that, everything went downhill...

    Thanks for the advice! I’m super happy to report that I’m seeing some very welcome improvements. First, I’ll attribute this progress mainly to my constant prayers to God, as I’m a firm believer that He’s the best doctor. Secondly, I also believe that Nicotinamide Riboside Hydrogen Malate...

    NAC May Have Helped My Hearing Loss, Although It Definitely Gave Me High-Frequency Tinnitus

    Thanks a lot for the great advice! The first month and a half has been incredibly difficult, just like you said. But is there any known and accepted theory or explanation for why the ears need so much time—months—to calm down after acoustic trauma? It seems like such a flaw from a biological...

    NAC May Have Helped My Hearing Loss, Although It Definitely Gave Me High-Frequency Tinnitus

    When you say “overprotecting,” do you mean earplugs? I’ve been using them almost all day, every day, and I’m not sure whether that’s helping or making things worse. I’m still very sensitive to noise, and I get spikes at night from almost anything when I’m not wearing my earplugs.

    NAC May Have Helped My Hearing Loss, Although It Definitely Gave Me High-Frequency Tinnitus

    Thanks for the guidance, everyone. I do have a question about sound levels for sleeping at night. How many dBA are recommended? Is 65 dBA too much? Is 45 dBA too little? Sometimes I feel like when I sleep with 65 dBA Purple Sounds, I wake up with slightly muffled hearing. When I sleep with 50...

    NAC May Have Helped My Hearing Loss, Although It Definitely Gave Me High-Frequency Tinnitus

    Thanks for your contribution. I haven’t tried natto, but I’m following a keto diet in the hope of reducing inflammation. I’ll see if I can add it to my new keto and tinnitus diet plan. Regarding sound therapy, how many dBA would you consider “good” when playing low-level sounds? Right now...

    Suicidal Because Noise from rTMS (140 dB!) Massively Worsened My Tinnitus and Caused Hearing Loss

    Thanks for your advice. It sounds simple, yet it works. I started to audibly say it did not bother me. While it did not decrease the awful sound, it did make me feel like it was normal, almost as if this is the way all humans hear sound, with a humming in the background. It felt as if I was...

    NAC May Have Helped My Hearing Loss, Although It Definitely Gave Me High-Frequency Tinnitus

    Thank you, I appreciate the support. Hopefully, whatever the NAC did to my tinnitus will fade with time, and even more hopefully, my tinnitus will go away entirely. This past month has been extremely difficult and depressing, but life must go on, and we have to keep enduring. The hope of it...
