Hello Nes you still take clonazepam occasionally?

This world can be so beautiful, but just as twisted. I hope you all experience silence within your life time. No one deserves discomfort.

UPDATE: I am now more than six weeks post-op, and I believe my tinnitus has returned to baseline. The surgery was overall successful, but I will be having a revision to also cut the stapedius muscle. Symptoms resolved after having the tensor tympani resected: Thumping episodes that sometimes...

I would assume that some patients did not receive relief because their tinnitus was not caused by the pathology being treated, or because the device was incorrectly calibrated. The majority of patients did respond, which is a good sign, but I remain cautious. I also suffer from dry eye along...

Mine comes and goes in a very regular pattern that lasts a few days. It is always sleep that either restarts it or suppresses it. When it is absent, it is not just a matter of noticing it less, it is truly gone or barely there. I am probably thinking about it the wrong way, but it seems to me...

I like your style, @Joeseph Stope. In regard to your question, I would say the country I am living in now, Laos. It is quiet and peaceful. Take care, DL I have found someone, you, with whom I could discuss geopolitics. I would love to respond to what you have written, but that will have to be...

Yes, it can. I developed a new tone after loud noise exposure, and in my case it took six months to fade. It is still there, but so faint that I hardly notice it at all.

Hi, this is my protocol: 1. If noise exposure is over 120 dB, or if it has caused significant pain, muffled hearing, or much louder or new-onset tinnitus, contact your ENT or doctor. In some cases, it may be best to go to the ER or urgent care to discuss the use of steroids. Peer-reviewed...

Here is an excellent description of my tinnitus symptoms, which I found on the Reddit tinnitus forum. It perfectly captures how severe these symptoms are and how they affect my life: If someone has reactive tinnitus, hyperacusis, and noxacusis but is never in an environment quiet enough to fall...

It seems unlikely that the nasal spray is making your earache or tinnitus worse. Your tinnitus and earache may be fluctuating independently. Since you are still only a few weeks in, it is very common for tinnitus to change frequently in the beginning. Have you seen a doctor? The earache and...

Hi. I started a nasal steroid spray just over a week ago for suspected ETD. I have had tinnitus and other symptoms for three weeks. The nasal spray seems to be making the tinnitus much worse. It also causes earache and some popping and twitching. The popping and twitching have settled, but the...

My deepest sympathies go to the Kirk family, and I want to extend them to all of the United States. Am I a Biden supporter? I suppose I am, or perhaps I was, although I am not American. For me, America has always been that wonderful land of optimism and good humor, where people were open and...

It seems that more people have received Neuralink. I don't think we know anything about it doing something for hearing disorders, but let's hope it will.

Essentially, hearing loss causes the brain to turn up the gain on auditory signals to the point where it accidentally picks up electrical noise from the face, tongue, and neck. This happens because auditory signals come from the cranial nerves, and they are all integrated together inside the...

Amen, Newell! I also stake claim to Psalms 91:3-3 Surely He shall deliver thee from the snare of the fowler, and from the NOISOME pestilence.

Hi everyone! juliob, did the spike go down? i pray that it did. I actually pray for everyone fighting this battle.

I may already have that, as one nurse mentioned using PatulEND. I woke up today with a nasty static sound in my left ear. There is also some pain in my left Eustachian tube when I use an EarPopper, which seems abnormal.

Also, the frequency of the tinnitus identified by participants could have been inaccurate, since it is very difficult to match precisely.

I log in usually every time there's a change or a spike. So that means, I am experiencing a spike right now unfortunately. Very quiet morning and then sudden loud ringing with some numbness. Hope it all comes back right but I guess I'll wait and see.

From what I understand, the DCN (dorsal cochlear nucleus, a region of the brainstem targeted by the University of Michigan device) acts as a relay. It receives information from the cochlea (hair cells and related structures) as well as somatosensory input from the trigeminal system (teeth, jaw)...

There is a distinct difference between chronic and permanent. “Chronic” refers to a condition with long-lasting duration, while “permanent” implies it will last forever or cannot be reversed. Who used the term permanent? As I told you earlier, there are numerous success stories, both here and...

But what do the neck and jaw have to do with hearing loss? This device cannot cure the cause of tinnitus or progressive hearing loss and damage. Or am I missing something?

Trump is the worst ever, worse than I even had expected, as I mentioned months ago. It keeps getting worse. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Donald_Trump_sexual_misconduct_allegations

I agree. But how do you feel about the Republicans right off the bat laying his death at the feet of the Democrats?

Hi @AnxiousJon, I take either Magnesium L-Threonate or Glycinate, and I do notice the intensity lessens. Fibre is an odd one, lol. I think my anxiety over the past 18 months has made things worse, as I became hyper-aware of my nervous system sounds. I first need to get that under control, so I...

Many, if not most, world leaders have "terrible personality traits". If they were easy-going and striving to be mellow, they would not get very far. Trump may be more intense at times because he is also a very experienced and successful businessman. I want somebody who has what it takes to run...

Hi family, I’m still kicking, just dropping by to say hello. Big hugs, love, and strength to my T friends here. I’ll visit again soon with more to share, and some comic relief for @Jcb. Ciao for now, DL xxxxx

RIP Charlie Kirk For my friends who know me here, I have always been polite and have never posted a meme or attacked a person’s character. Charlie was 31 and a father of two. I am nearly twice his age, and I am absolutely heartbroken over his assassination and murder, as well as the state of...

Excellent news! And please, don't be discouraged if you again have some bad days - progress is rarely linear, and often you need to look at long-term trends. As for my spikes, I don't think anything caused them. It's just the brain doing what the brain does and I'm merely a passenger.

The hundreds of children's and teachers' lives lost to school shootings, which is what Kirk is referring to in the article as 'unfortunately worth it for the second amendment,' don't matter? Debatable.

Thanks. Can this improve with time? I am four and a half months past the infection that caused my tinnitus. It is very anxiety-inducing and frustrating.

The more time I spend reading real success stories on these boards, the more I realize how false the claim is that “after six months, it’s permanent.” From what I see, most people take about a year before they start truly feeling better. I’m noticing steady improvements week by week now—quieter...

It doesn’t matter, he was a human being too. This is coming from a European. No one needs to be killed because of their beliefs and words.

"You'll never have zero gun deaths in a society with armed citizens—that's nonsense. But I think it's worth accepting some gun deaths each year to protect the Second Amendment and our other rights. That's a rational deal." — Charlie Kirk "I can't stand the word empathy actually. I think...

Charlie Kirk: "I think empathy is a made up New Age term that does a lot of damage". Trump supporters either have the same terrible personality traits he does, so they see no issues with him being who he is, or they are complacent, knowing his terrible personality traits and don't care enough...

It's dysacusis.

It improved a lot and then went away, but it took weeks to do so. Sometimes it still comes back when I’m not expecting it. I find that it is most often triggered by exposure to fans and air conditioners, but sometimes even ambient noises from the other side of a wall or a window can set it off...

You have come to the point that hurling crude insults towards those with whom you disagree is your only argument. I last posted in this thread five days ago. There is no evidence that Trump has engaged in the behaviors that you accuse him of, so discussing it is pointless. Trump has been...

This seems right, although I’m not an audiologist. It went away for years. Wouldn’t damaged hearing cells “filling in” be noticeable for the rest of your life? I’m guessing my brain became “un-habituated” to these filling-in sounds, either because of the large amount of caffeine I was consuming...

In the case of early-onset tinnitus patients, I can easily understand the difficulty of wrestling with a changed auditory world of constant ringing, twenty-four hours a day, seven days a week. That would naturally involve a psychological factor—the panic of trying to find a therapy or medicine...

I did not have any significant noise trauma. I was extremely stressed when it started because my ear went deaf for almost a minute and then returned to relatively normal, but the ringing remained. It drove me insane. The ringing eventually went down, but the strange overlay sounds stayed. After...

Effexor calmed my brain down. It took a while to find that medication specifically, but once I did, I noticed I could “bounce back” from spiraling much more quickly. It felt like the difference between dealing with a rowdy child after a good night’s sleep versus no sleep at all. I was actually...

The only things that have helped are fiber and Magnesium Oxide. If I do not take them, the surrounding muscles do not assist in the way they otherwise do, and the tinnitus becomes very loud. I know it sounds strange, but that is how it works with my condition. I have an upcoming neurology...

Because it downplays the condition. The URL to the article is even a 404 now, if that says anything.

What is going on with this drug? Has it been submitted for FDA approval? Does anyone have any information?

A more realistic statement would be: “For some people, tinnitus can get better over time, and it often depends on the root cause of their tinnitus.” My tinnitus is related to hearing loss. While it was mild for more than 30 years, it never improved, and over the past two years—since I turned...

This Epstein 50th birthday binder might be new, but Trump's relationship with Epstein, and their creepy, lecherous behavior around teenage girls has been well known publicly since before he was first elected. Every single person who ever voted for him to be president did so knowing that there...

Dr. Stephen Cheung from the United States has already conducted a small trial of deep brain stimulation and reported some positive results for tinnitus. There are also case reports of people who received DBS for other reasons and experienced a reduction in their tinnitus. I believe there are two...

I have had both low-pitch and high-pitch tinnitus for quite some time. Recently, I developed a cricket-like noise that only appears with external sound. The louder the external sound, the louder the crickets become. It basically sounds like a thousand crickets. In silence, I hear my other...

I have the exact same distortions. Basically, I hear crickets layered over all external sounds. It is really confusing because it feels like I am out in the country in summer, listening to crickets. Unfortunately, that is not the case—I am in the city in winter. Have you been able to learn to...

Off-topic, but it doesn't really warrant its own thread, I think: Japanese scientists have found a way to naturally grow new teeth Medical innovations like these provide me with some hope that eventually we'll also crack the code for hearing-related issues—possibly via CILCARE.

It's great that you have a spiritual connection to help anchor you, sir/ma'am. I hope it and some masking help you! Hearing aids may well be an option for you, especially if you have marked hearing loss, but I've never tried them myself. A recent thread here suggests some people have found...

When I first got tinnitus in 2020, it probably took me a year to a year and a half to see steady improvement, to the point where I no longer needed to mask at all. That was nice. In 2023 I had another spike, which took about eight or nine months to settle. It never returned fully to baseline...

It seems as though it doesn’t go much further than bone conduction headphones that play masking sounds. If it does, they are doing a poor job of advertising it. “15 years of research”? Okay, then elaborate on that!

There is no mention of tinnitus or hyperacusis in this article. High-energy ultraSOUND focused on the brain, I think, would more likely present danger for tinnitus/hyperacusis.
