You must have slept through history class in high school, if you even attended. Southern Democrats before 1965 became Southern Republicans. They were the Confederates left over from the Civil War. The Democratic Party had long and deep roots in the South. It wasn’t just a political party, it was...

If I have to be on Zoom, I use captions and keep the sound muted. On a good day, I’ll take a chance and listen to the audio at the lowest possible volume, but only for a few minutes. I still have musical tinnitus, by the way. It tends to be most active during late spring and summer when I have...

It happened again last night. I went to bed only when I was tired, and although the tinnitus was roaring, I didn’t let it bother me. This morning I woke up with it screaming in my left ear, and I’m in a total state of panic again. I’m supposed to be leaving for a week-long holiday overseas in a...

Hi @ECP, I have the exact same problem. For about a year now, I’ve been hearing the “next stop is” sound from the bus. How do you manage with Zoom meetings? Thanks.

Hello, I’ve had tinnitus for several years now and have tried just about everything, but nothing has worked. Recently I had a blood test, and my TSH levels came back really high, at 35.1 (normal range is 0.27–4.2). I’ve had hypothyroidism since birth, so I’ve always had regular blood tests. I...

Meanwhile, things continue to fall apart, separation-of-powers-wise, here in our consumerist democracy: Trump tries to wrest spending power from Congress as government shutdown looms: Guess we’ll see if Speaker Johnson and our MAGA/GOP Senate can pull yet another rabbit out of a hat when it...

More money for tinnitus profiteers. No thanks.

If I make it through this and get better, I’ll have a whole new appreciation for my health and for living life. I’m going to take that trip, eat that meal, buy that thing I’ve always wanted, and truly appreciate every second of my health. I’ve been so focused on saving money to secure my future...

@jacob21, Memotin is basically a combination of Ginkgo Biloba, Magnesium, Vitamin B12, Zinc, and Melatonin in a single pill. Many people with tinnitus have tried this mix, or something similar, without success. But it's not expensive, so one could try it, of course...!

Hope you're doing well, web developer friend.

...sense. When it's reactively spiking like that, masking only exacerbates the situation, so for me it's better to not mask at all when it's so reactive - 90% sh*t is better than 100% sh*t, which is what I've had to accept defines a better place. Frankly, what other choice do we have? See above.

Hello, Has anyone tried this supplement: MEMOTIN®? Real-World Multicenter Evaluation of MEMOTIN® for Tinnitus in Private Clinic Settings: The M.E.S.T Study

This is my full name and where i live Alpay Tunc AGE 29 Istanbul/Bayrampasa 34035 I cannot bear with this anymore. I don't have guts to hurt myself but im tired my heart cannot take it anymore i never thought this will be my life but here we are please hug to your loved ones. If you have mild...

OK, I never try to mask it. The problem is that when I’m driving, when the window of the room I’m in is open and there’s noise outside, when I turn on the air conditioning, or in many other situations where I’m not in complete silence, the reactive tinnitus kicks in. It’s horrible because it’s...

Hope you’re doing well, mate! It seems like you’re in a better place these days 👍 You’re absolutely right that small things, like adding perspective and not giving this condition so much space in our lives, can make a big difference. @Paulie87, it takes a lot of practice and inner strength to...

...up to me and mumbled something. I turned my head slightly, trying to hear him with my left ear. Suddenly, he shouted directly into my ear, "YOU'RE F***ED." I jumped back in anger, knowing instantly it was too much for my ear. And honestly, what was the point of that cruel comment? I wasn't...

I’ve been prescribed Dymista spray after three months of suffering from retracted eardrums and an inner ear infection that started after flying with a cold. Has anyone had any experience with it? It seems to have a lot of side effects. I’m desperate for some relief from the awful pressure in my...

@DimLeb, I’m sorry you have to deal with this. These symptoms are so much harder to experience than most people could ever imagine. This has been the most difficult health challenge I’ve faced because it’s taken away so much of my mind and so much of my joy and pleasure.

So your tinnitus became reactive, and you managed to calm down to a better place? You've said nothing of how you achieved this. Has your reactivity changed at all?

H settling down a bit already

In my wildest dreams, I never thought Team Red would sit back and let Uncle Sam openly seize the means of production or the intellectual property of private corporations. Talk about an Uno reverse card. How are they going to square this with conservative small-government ideology? 😁

Nice! The tinnitus is nearly imperceptible today.

It’s been over three weeks now, and the spike still hasn’t subsided from the vacuuming incident. I can’t believe this happened while I was wearing earmuffs. WTF? I’m terrified it’s not going to get any better. My last spike started to fluctuate after two weeks, but this one is relentless. I...

It’s definitely a mental thing. Last night it was blaring in bed with nothing to mask it, but I decided I wasn’t going to let it upset me. It was amazing how quickly I was able to shrug it off, even without any background noise. This morning I woke up with the same noise and felt annoyed again...

Lineage Cell Therapeutics has entered into a three-year collaboration with William Demant Invest (WDI) to advance the preclinical development of ReSonance™ (ANP1), an auditory neuronal cell transplant program for the treatment of hearing loss. As part of the agreement, WDI will contribute up to...

Of course. Ping me if I don't remember.

That sounds really great! Thanks a lot for your feedback. I think I’d like to try something like that. Maybe I’ll give it a go once I’ve saved up some money. I know it won’t be a miracle cure for my bad tinnitus, but it could be nice to have something else to focus on. I’d also be interested in...

I’m sorry this happened to you, man. Spikes suck, but they usually get better within a few weeks. Personally, I’m going through a spike right now because I was doing a brief, uncomfortably loud task without hearing protection. I even had hearing protection in my pocket. I do not want to...

There's definitely a psychology to dealing with tinnitus. Perhaps more so where worsenings after long periods of stability are concerned. My tinnitus was stable for circa 25 years until it went off like a crazy firework (including reactivity) after excessive headphone use about 7 years ago. So...

Wow, you Trumpers are damn uneducated (what a surprise, with FOX Spews on day and night). Most of us have enough sense not to engage very much with racists who have no ethical values. That comment about the Democrats starting the KKK is stupid, wrong, and ignorant. But your insanity is not my...

@Badger55, I try not to openly share personal information about myself with OpenAI and Palantir.

View from the back of the class. Well, I guess the study might be useful in its own way. When rejuvenating the hair cells or synapses, it is important to keep the noise level down for a few weeks.

It is marketed as a health tool and stress reducer. I recently started tracking my heart rate variability, which is an involuntary parasympathetic response and a health marker, and it was not where I wanted it to be. This is supposed to be a tool that can help improve it. I have been using it...

What are you using it for? Do you find it useful?

Sorry to hear that. I assume you got the diagnosis after a cerebral angiogram or maybe the initial MRI or CT scans? Many people on the Whooshers forum have been through similar experiences, so if you’re not already on there, it might be worth taking a look. I hope you don’t have to wait too long...

Had what I assumed was another noisy new tone last night. Spent a good few hours laying there trying to calm myself. It was the fridge.

Hi Pete, To help calm you down, it seems that most of these encounters usually last only a few days to a week or so. We’re all in the same boat. It often feels like the reaction to the sound is even worse than any actual damage it might have caused, right? Sometimes I feel like my reaction to...

How much benefit did you get? So, you can't use the device without the app?

This is exactly what my ENT has told me. He said that even though my hearing isn't poor, it's not perfect due to Meniere's, & he believes it's the reason why I refer to it as reactive tinnitus & hyperacusis fluctuates a lot, as my brain is filling in frequencies. Interestingly, yesterday I...

Yes, I know. But where would they give the injection?

Yes, I definitely agree with this. I’m currently going through a spike because of a brief situation where I didn’t use hearing protection. The noise was around 70 to 80 dB, metallic and close range, lasting about 30 to 45 seconds. It felt loud, but I think stress is just making the spike worse...
