    Smoking — Does It Affect Your Tinnitus or Hyperacusis?

    I know this is an old thread, but it's what I found when I looked it up. My hyperacusis and tinnitus have gotten worse since I quit vaping, 100% VG 3 mg. It's been exactly 4 weeks today. What's really worse is my reactive tinnitus, or hyperacuses to certain pitches. I don't know if vaping or...

    Put a Spotlight on Tinnitus Research

    This would all be much more helpful if tinnitus didn't have so many mechanisms of action. By that I mean it can both start and be perceived in many different locations and caused by many things. (i.e. sounds in the ear, sound in the head, unilateral, bilateral, buzz sound, whoosh sound etc...

    E-Cigs and Hearing Loss

    I don't believe this to be true but even if it is and you want to keep vaping switch to 100% "Unflavored" VG. Problem solved. Btw 5 years of vapor, no permanent increase but I did switch to VG after the first 2 years because I found PG did spike my tinnitus some. To each their own, but this...

    Can Vitamin D Make Tinnitus Worse?

    Vit D has the same effect on me increased tinnitus. I have tried it several times in isolation, with and without magnesium. No difference, after a few days it's bad. It also messes with my sleep. Thyroid and Parathyroid are fine. Vit D is really a steroid. I just do much better without it, but...

    Gabapentin (Neurontin)

    I personally had no problems coming off gabapentin, but we are all different.

    B12 Shots Increasing Tinnitus

    I have not, I am down for 1 a week for a month, then every 2 weeks then once a month Yada Yada. I'm just gonna keep taking it, if it doesn't get better and becomes unbearably worse, I'll try the subs, those are expensive though. My T and H (along with facial pain) are a result of nerve damage...

    B12 Shots Increasing Tinnitus

    I just had my first B12 shot today, and it has tripled the volume of my unilateral tinnitus (left ear). So far, I haven't experienced any hyperacusis pain. Has anyone else experienced this when starting B12 injections? Did it improve as the treatment continued? I read somewhere that B12 can...

    Gabapentin (Neurontin)

    You have TN type 1, type 2 doesn't respond to those meds.

    Gabapentin (Neurontin)

    Klonopin and Amitriptyline have saved my butt for 3 years. I take them for Atypical Trigeminal neuralgia. However they have helped my Hyperacusis, Tinnitus and Anxiety (Panic Disorder) greatly, and yes I know the risks so don't bother. If you have ATN facial pain you will take anything, if you...

    Antibiotics Walking Pneumonia

    This is Myoplasmic pnemonia which most people who get don't even realize they have, the very very weakest kind. That's why people can walk around with it. My PCP says with this kind and my T, H and multiple med sensitivities she wasn't to wait until I show more symptoms. I was just asking what...

    Antibiotics Walking Pneumonia

    My wife has been diagnosed with Walking Pneumonia, and I'm pretty sure she has passed it to me. I may need an antibiotic, but for this penicillin doesn't do it. Azithromycin seems like the only choice, it is not an Aminoglycoside even though it has the mycin ending. It's a Zpak if anyone knows...

    Flonase (Fluticasone)

    Do you mind if I ask what you were on Plaquenil for. I may have to take it and I have H and T

    Autoimmune Disease: Do You Have One?

    I know this is an old theead, but I have H and T and my doctor is sending me to a rheumatologist to investigate possible lupus or sjogren's. Has anyone taken Plaquenil, it can rarely cause Tinnitus and hearing loss but is the gold standard for many autoimmune conditions.
