So unhappy today. Relationship is suffering. Life is very hard in every aspect. Beer is my shepherd...

My spike was bothering me even more, and I ended up doing something drastic. I’m okay now, although the spike has only slightly improved. It has gone back up, but it’s hard to describe. It’s not yet at my previous baseline, but that intense hell it was has eased somewhat, even if it hasn’t...

The stress certainly made it a lot worse. It sounds to me like the tinnitus increases with external sounds and then returns to normal soon after they stop. The Meniere's is unilateral in my left ear only, and it appears the reactive tinnitus affects my left ear. I've considered wearing an...

I am an idiot i couldn't do it and today new high pitch in right ear screams worst of the worst tone 15 khz i hope it goes away it happened many times always went away this time it feels different consistent high pitched why though? i dont even go outside i swear i never went to parties ever...

New Paul Fuchs article just dropped. Strengthening Medial Olivocochlear Feedback Reduces the Developmental Impact of Early Noise Exposure

I remember seeing your thread as I’ve moved around the boards. I’d like to keep following your story since we’re on such similar timelines and experiences. The hardest thing for me is the guilt. Knowing this didn’t have to happen if I had just stayed out of the furnace room. I don’t know why the...

Yeah, it can unfortunately be hard to tell when you need protection. But if your first reaction is that the noise makes you uncomfortable, that’s probably a clear sign. I’m no medical professional, but this is just what I’ve observed. Sometimes you can also be more sensitive to certain...

Hey dummy, you should probably read up on history. The Democratic Party were the ones in the hoods with burning crosses, riding horses, and hanging Black people. Do better if you want to stay relevant while bashing the greatest president to ever hold office.

Hi delta784, just wondering how youre doing now. Im looking for some hope to get me through these bad times. My tinnitus is so extreme i just want to jump.off something high and die too. I know this would hurt my boyfriend and mum incredibly but i dont know what else to do. It is relentless...

That just means “under the skin.” It’s the same as the COVID vaccine.

Have you tried consulting with ChatGPT? If you lay out your tinnitus history, including the things that triggered the initial onset and subsequent permanent spikes, along with any other relevant details such as COVID vaccines or COVID infections, it will provide you with a well-considered...

Have you tried Chatgbt? I have recently discovered Chatgbt and found that it was helpful and informative. If you lay out your tinnitus symptom history, including a description of the intestinal issues that you are encountering, it will provide you with detailed explanations and prognosis and a...

I think reactive tinnitus is caused by damage-beyond-damage. Your brain hears a lot of different frequencies from 'traffic-noise'. The brain is perhaps filling in the spaces for the numerous frequencies you have lost hearing, hence the reaction. This is similar to how the blindspot in your...

Ditto. My neighbors just love their leaf blowers, too. Can't even walk in the neighborhood anymore. Honestly, my tinnitus will react to something like going into a store (not stressful) and then stay elevated until the next day. Or maybe the stressor is just the hearing loss I have, but...

There are also a few supplements you could try: Magnesium Glycinate, Lemon Balm, Magnolia Bark, Valerian, Skullcap, Passion Flower.

When you say reactive, do you mean your baseline tinnitus jumps up to compete with external sounds, stays elevated after, or a different sound is generated on top of external sounds? If it's the last one, you may have dysacusis. After 20 years of stable tinnitus whilst still playing in rock...

It looks promising, but they are measuring over a time span. I wonder if it will also be helpful for people who have already had it for a long time.

Had a mental breakdown while talking with my parents on the phone.

I may need to get treatment for HP :( Do you have any wisdom on what is best to not worsen tinnitus?

I may have H. Pylori based on the results of a stomach X-ray. Did you take a PPI in your treatment? I've heard those can also cause tinnitus. It seems to me that the safest first treatment would be Amoxicillin, Bismuth, and an H2 Blocker only. @UrbanBubblegum, do you have any advice after...

I’ve had this condition for over 30 years. It started with basically exactly what you describe—at first it seemed to stay mostly in the background and was tolerable. After so many years and countless doctor visits, I’ve finally come to the conclusion that it will never stop for me. I listened...

Sorry to hear you’re struggling too. I’ve never tried Mirtazapine. I took 2 mg of Melatonin two nights ago and managed to get at least 4 hours of sleep. But last night, without it, I was back to only 2 hours again.

I usually wear protection now. I ordered a pair after realizing I didn’t have them with me one night. Since then, I always keep them on my keychain and use them in louder places. Funny enough, my ear actually felt better when I was at someone’s home and they were talking loudly. The dB app...

I hear you. I'm sorry to hear you took an overdose. I get how you feel. My reactive tinnitus is triggered by traffic noise, wind, bird calls, and aeroplanes flying overhead, and you're right, there's no escape or peace from it. I also experience a burning sensation on my scalp, and I struggle...
