I just took a Gas-X so I would not fart so loudly that it would hurt my ears.

I only read the original post, but it sounded like the message was to make yourself accept it and move on. If that’s the case, I agree completely. I have dealt with both very loud tinnitus and hyperacusis for about fifteen years now. I believe that keeping as much full-time distraction as...

Land values are up, but if history is any guide, they could decline tomorrow. Real estate moves in cycles. I remember the real estate crash of the 1980s very clearly. However, the John Deere tractor that now costs twice as much as it did years ago likely will not drop in price. The mechanic who...

I wonder if we are supporting Costa Rica along with every other place on Earth? They could be one of the line items on the exhaustive list of cuts we made, particularly if we were paying for their parades in the streets celebrating the sexually challenged that can't simply look in their pants to...

Lol...

The doctor still has no recommendations and says there is no cure or effective therapy yet. I’ve been seeing him for 16 years and trust him. Some people ask why I continue to go. The hearing exam is very advanced—each year, I receive a detailed graph showing all the ranges and any changes. Since...

People experience enough inflation every single day that the debate last night will be forgotten before the election. The Biden/Harris cluster**** sent inflation through the roof.

I haven't been on here in a while. I still go annually to see a neuro-otolaryngologist who is highly regarded in his field. My next appointment is next month. I imagine that if I wanted to try Nortriptyline, he would prescribe it. However, I would never take such a medication. If you take that...

Yes, you are correct that Tinnitus Talk seems to have more chronic sufferers. A poll will be lopsided. Tinnitus ruined the type of work I was in and made me change lines of work. I have always been self-employed and more or less made a lateral movement withing my line of work that got me away...

You should try a cross country ski machine, like the old original Nordic Track. I still use one regularly. You can find them on eBay or on Craigslist. It is a very vigorous workout with no impact.

Heavy metal? Are you trolling this forum? Unbelievable question if you have read this forum at all. You have tinnitus. Concerts are a thing of the past.

It doesn't sound like you have the typical noise induced tinnitus, for which there is no cure. It sounds like you may be lucky in that it is something to do with your sinuses. I bet a good ENT can help you.

I mostly had to give up music. It wasn't as much of a loss to me as apparently to you. I can do without it except for during exercise. I never have music on in the car.

They use a manual scaler on me now. Try requesting that.

First question is Yes for normal. Stress is likely the reason. Everyone on here wants an answer to the second question. Just don't go to the extreme that I've read some have. You'll be alright.
