I also think I have something with my neck as my T get super loud when I bend my head towards my shoulder, I also experience stiffess under my left ear

I don't think so for sensorineural hearing loss because it means your cochlea is structurally damaged and there is no remedy for that... yet.

some people claim that their high frequency hearing got significantly better after they got rid of tinnitus after years

Unlike some other types, Magnesium bis Glycinate doesn't have a laxative effect. So there's that. As for the dosage, begin with the dosage recommended by the manufacturer on the bottle.

NAC, if it does anything, is something to be taken immediately after an acoustic event rather than an everyday supplement.

Well, I've seen people write that they take NAC so that in case they get exposed to noise, there's already NAC in their system and they are ready for it... I've taken NAC for months. I am not sure whether it has helped, but I don't think it had been detrimental.

Any neck, shoulder issues?

No, but my tinnitus is somatic and can be modulated by neck movements

Ibuprofen in high doses or prolonged use can have an adverse effect on T, but basically any NSAIDs can. Paracetamol is supposed to be safer, but for me it doesn't do anything, so I take Ibuprofen when I can't take the pain. First time I had a spike, but because I haven't had any due to IP use since , I think it might have been because I was out of my mind anxious about it.

@all to gain it looks like there's still hope that you will eventually get better.

@Martinf I see. I hope yours get better.

@OnceUponaTime thank you dear, I hope you the same!

I dunno if it is normal. But I have also reactive one and pulsatile one on top of that.

Atleast you know it can stop. That's what keeps my sanity alive. Few seconds of bliss.

I am only still alive hoping it will stop for good one day just as it stops for seconds sometimes. I genuinely can't live with this forever!

I couldn't find it on an American list of ototoxic medications. But perhaps this is a European brand name...

This sounds like pulsatile tinnitus, I also have it. Get checked by an ENT, they might be able to diagnose the problem. Hope it gets better for you

Thanks! ENT didn't help. my tinnitus changes a lot sometimes it is somatic, pulsatile... The pitch and volume also change all the time

Well, when I first got T I had a bad H. So I Stayed home for a month, trying not to expose myself to any noise. I been taking magnesium and zinc but no medications. after sometime my H and T got better. I thought I'm healing from it. I remember my T was so faint that I sometimes forget it is there and I don't hear it even on silent rooms.

I didn't want to plug my ears and check if it is really there or not because my goal was to not to focus on T at that time and get back to normal life. So I stated going out again making sure the place isn't loud. I remember I was feeling pain in my ears when someone laugh/clap hands. also a discomfort in a 70db street

It sounds like you went back to normal life too soon. If I were you, I would get back to the lifestyle that had resulted in T fading. After 2-3 years or so, you might consider trying that "normal life" lifestyle again.

I can't hear it.

When did you get T? what have you been doing for the three days before your hiss turned to a high pitch tone?

I got it 5 months ago from testing my ears at home playing loud high pitched sine waves. the T today is back to the usual hiss, which sounds like a high pitch white noise. I've done nothing in last 3 days, always being careful with noise like usual.
