TindalosKeeper

I take herbs to help me sleep with my T: lemon balm, valeriana, passiflora,humulus lupulus.
I take also 1 mg melatonin.
All 30 minutes before sleep.

Not sure if melatonin is causing nightmares. I stopped taking melatonin.

I have 3 tiers of methods if i need sleep

tier 3 - 5mg of melatonin plus a sleep tea
tier 2 - In Australia we have an OTC sleep tablet called ''Restivit'' i take that if the above doesnt work
Teir 1 - 7.5mg - 15mg of Mirtazapine, but im a lttle sluggish the next day but it does the trick

Happy new year as well! Sorry for not being here immediately, I was stuck with the festivities with the family. I hope you enjoyed yourself too.

I sure hope so!!!

Interesting... I hear the movement of it, like a woosh, as if the back of my eyes are rubbing against whatever is there in that eye hole. Trippy.

I have before.

Very very little.

What a crazy condition this is

Terrifying too, I was wondering if I really messed up by pressing my pinky in my good ear hole to alleviate a bit some itchiness I had. Literally just something anyone would do to relieve it... Ending up super blocked and wondering how bad my bad ear is to feel like I was hearing my body only.

ETD?

Could it be? For a full year? I thought it would last a month or so. But yeah, it feels like I have to "manually'" do it by laying that bad ear down, but it resets again when I get up. Frustrating as all hell.

Mind you, is not a 100% fix, I am sure there might be damage that I cannot reverse even if I lay that bad ear down... But at the same time, I am not so sure. Again, it's stupidly frustrating to deal with it.

Havent really played since this started...

I just play at a quiet volume and no headphones. It’s tougher for shooters, but I mostly play sports games and platformers like Mario.

Awfully sorry everybody that answered. I was on a trip abroad. Not super enjoyable with a side hearing, but well... I couldn't make my family sad if I didn't go so... At least I'm glad some people still haven't lost their gaming touch even with their disability. I haven't, since I need something to take the stress off.

Good day to you! Apologies if I don't go around introducing myself. I guess I try not to be a nuisance (You are not, obviously, it's just a dumb feeling of mine). My case is not as severe, but it only takes some damage to unbalance it all... Eventually, I believe it will get worst for me, so I try to enjoy life as much as possible until it happens.
Best wishes as well :)

Do you not think a cure will work for people with hearing loss?

It's hard to say. Some people with hearing loss don't necessarily have Tinnitus, as evidence solving Tinnitus might not solve Hearing Loss. Still, solving Tinnitus is a first step for the rest of us with a more severe condition. First, we have to get there, though.

@TindalosKeeper - I have this problem in the morning with high frequencies.

It's awful, but I try to remain strong.
You should, too, and I'll be around to see the day a solution is made.
I'm glad you have gained so much support these days, I've seen it! It's incredible and you really need it in these times of need.

All those people really want you to keep going, including myself!
So don't give up!
Maybe I could re-introduce you to gaming in a future, but if you are really decided to not get into it, I'll understand.
Cheers, bro! You are doing great!

Thank you brother.

Lesbian pornography - until the PIED kicks in; then lots of Pokémon (the game or the porn).

Yeah it often fades away (altogether or to nothing) for a lot of people in the first year (sometimes beyond that).

You've got a good chance.

I've seen a couple of stories where someone's mom or dad had suffered a hearing loss and eventually their tinnitus faded away :)

Try following some more people. If they intern follow you back, you might see more responses.

I always imagine what it would be like if the same amount of money that was thrown at covid vaccines was thrown at T/H/hearing loss

You think it would get more funding considering the US army spends $3 billion on tinnitus disability annually lol.

My dream would be to see this post have at least 10 different approaches to how to treat Ear Fullness and Tinnitus, with the rare cure sprinkled over, lol.

Cyclobenzaprine worked for me.
