  Argh! Antidepressants can be so helpful especially since most of them are also antihistamines but they make my dry eye worse!

  Getting more used to my hearing aids. I need to start learning ASL but the anxiety over this whole thing is so paralyzing.

  Progressive hearing loss is a thief. It feels like I need to become a new person to accept that one day I will be deaf.

  9 years of just worsening T and hearing loss. Why was I born? Why am I here?

  Tinnitus still screeching and screaming away. The fact that I can sleep at night after all these years is still nothing short of a miracle.

  Oof. Lost more hearing again. Guess dead silence during a power outage makes ears work harder :(

  Having tinnitus in the silence and darkness of a power outage is not fun at all.

  Having a huge hunch right now that brain inflammation is the difference between hearing loss with tinnitus and without tinnitus.

  Hi derpytia, you have mentioned that your hearing is declining gradually just would like to ask did you have your vitamin d levels checked. Vitamin D deficiency can pretty much do that you can google it.

    I purchased a hearing aid that has helped my Tinnitus. If you wear the hearing aid to sleep with a sound machine at your bedside, I have found that this really helps me sleep better! It going to be good derpytia!

    Nice to hear from you. I think the last time I read your chats were 2014. I was going through a spike and you were going through a bad time. I'm in another spike I hope you are doing well. Kind regards, Ken

    How do you know it's ETD/Ear Fluid and not ear fullness having to do with nerve damage or middle ear damage?

    I have chronic DIAGNOSED ETD. I know when my ears are filled with fluid. It's especially bad when now that it's allergy season.

  Got an ear infection again so I decided to try a tumeric/black pepper pill. Took one. Didn't take any the next day. Whistle tones are quiet!

    Have you tried curcumin tablets? It is an ingredient in tumeric.
    
    Mar 11, 2019
  5. derpytia
    Yeah that's essentially what the pill I took is. Only problem is it gave me heart palpations which is kinda risky.

  Thinking I might have cochlear hydrops. A lot of the symptoms are there in my left ear, especially when I eat something with a lot of salt.

    I really hope you start to slowly feel better and regain some kind of hope to hold on to. Mute button seems will hopefully help :) there’s also the Shim South Korea which exist to this, also stem cells. There’s so much for you to hang on, I really hope you begin to feel better again :/

    Was the wax removed manually, or was microsuction involved?

    Used a wax removal kit as prescribed by my doctor. Used the oil to soften the wax and a rubber bulb to clear the softened wax. My mind didn't make the syringing connection with the rubber bulb. Basically, what happened to Markku happened to me.
