    Devastating Tinnitus After Valium Taper: How Will I Survive?

    https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC7213946/ Please read the link above. I am in a similar situation, having taken alprazolam for five years at 1.5mg per day. I’m uncertain if I’ll be able to stop. You’re experiencing all the same symptoms I am.

    Boyfriend & I Got Tinnitus After Two Concerts → His Tinnitus Went Away, Mine Did Not

    ...and loud venues. Stop going to bars and concerts, but also do not wear hearing protection in quiet—moderate environments. As soon as sounds cause physical pain, wear hearing protection. You will know what physical pain is if you experience it. It is like a burning, sharp pain in the ears.

    @Ngo13 I think the LDN is definitely worth a try when the time is right for you, especially given its relatively minimal side effect profile. It definitely doesn't take away the sensation fully for me, but it reduces it & makes it more of a numbness rather than a burning.

    Almost 100% Cured of Hyperacusis and Tinnitus

    Since 2018, my tinnitus has been getting worse every year. Wearing earplugs blocks all ambient noise, making it impossible to ignore the tinnitus. I’ve reached a point where my tinnitus causes me burning ears, headaches, and sensations in my skull all day long.

    Cannabidiol (CBD) — Epidiolex

    ...it usually ends up slightly sore at the end of the day. Probably from the stress, as you mentioned. I thought about trying a OTC bite guard.
