The article below is cited on the “Tinnitus” page of the World Health Organization website: https://www.who.int/news-room/questions-and-answers/item/deafness-and-hearing-loss--tinnitus In the section “Is there a cure for tinnitus?” it says: “There are also documented cases where tinnitus has...

I don’t think it helps much, and sorry to say, but sound therapy or sound exposure is not a proven treatment for reactive tinnitus or hyperacusis. Not even researchers have confirmed this, and Treble Health, in my opinion, is a scam. If it truly helped, there wouldn’t be so many members here who...

@MindOverMatter, thank you, friend. I’ve read many of your posts and truly value not only your sound advice but also the kind, considerate, and honest way you approach others. I’m still in a spike today, but I believe it will eventually calm down. I don’t have ear pain and only moderate sound...

I understand what you’re saying, and I agree. What I meant is that, after all these years, there is no hope FOR ME.

Hi… I’ve had tinnitus and hearing loss for six years, and I’m very interested to hear more about this Japanese Yokukansan formula. It looks promising for helping with tinnitus. Let’s hope!

So then he’s not legit? I don’t know. I feel like I’ve tried everything over the past few years, and absolutely nothing has worked. If anyone has figured out a way to overcome this Wim Hof tinnitus, I’d love to hear about it. One thing I can say is that the symptoms of our tinnitus seem the...

I’ve been taking each of those supplements separately for months, if not years. They don’t do a thing for my tinnitus. Sorry.

Just wanted to reach out and say that your posts are bringing me massive calm. Thank you 🙏 Sending happiness and tranquility vibes. We got this !!! 👊

I understand you, but I believe you might be doing yourself a big favor that could actually interfere with healing in the long run. Acceptance is the first step in recovery. Something like this was bound to happen at some point anyway. These things are part of living a normal life in the...

Hi, have you been offered Eustachian tube balloon inflation treatment for your left ear? Hi, what about now? Any improvements? Thanks.

Lmao. Ben Thompson.

I concur with @MindOverMatter. Do not read the worst-case scenarios. The vast majority of people improve. Not everyone finds complete resolution, but most discover that their tinnitus becomes non-bothersome over time. You experienced a minor exposure. Your nervous system is probably on high...

Something to consider: if you are going to wear ear defenders, they need to be one of the more substantial models with higher ratings. That said, I have found over the years that the highest NRR and the physically largest version is not always the best. I think this has to do with resonant...

No one has said my ears are finished. It is just a self-affirmation that I still have room for more healing and relief. If I had not gone through six months of severe tinnitus before it started loosening its grip a bit, my anxiety levels would probably be lower. They will likely come down as...

Trump is gutting all of our infrastructure. All of it. Our Defense Department will be left with a group of Trump sycophants in the driver’s seat, while experienced generals are fired simply because someone does not like to be questioned. It is confounding how diminished the US presence and...

Hello everyone, I have had baseline tinnitus in both ears for about 15 years. It has been a stable, constant tone that never really bothered me. Around 10 years ago, I developed another high-pitched sound in my right ear, but it only appeared when I yawned or stretched, so I didn't consider it...

I have exactly the same thoughts as you. I got mine from playing drums for fun one night, and I am not even a musician. It was only the second time in my life that I ever played live with other people. I even helped organize that night by looking for people online. I keep thinking that if I had...

I am sorry for your condition, but it makes no sense to come to the Support section and tell sufferers, “THERE IS NO HOPE.” That is exactly the kind of doom-and-gloom post we should all avoid, especially in the Support section.

Unfortunately, this is the nature of tinnitus, and yes, I have experienced many such accidents. Usually, a spike after an incident like this can last anywhere from a few days to two or three weeks. You have to remind yourself that these things happen and are often unavoidable. Stopping life is...

Who said your ears were done? If the tinnitus is only just noticeable, you really shouldn’t be worrying about it in my opinion. That shows how differently we are set up as individuals. To me, this sounds like a level of tinnitus that shouldn’t be bothersome where you are now, but for you it...

I appreciate the response, and I want to thank you and Tinnitus Quest for all that you do for us.

I recently got sick, and am experiencing SSHL. My left ear feels clogged and I can’t hear anything! It’s been 3 days please help. I’m terrified this is permanent.

I do Cowboy Action Shooting and USPSA, and I wear double hearing protection, which keeps me fine. I have had tinnitus for 25 years, and it got worse after the second COVID shot. I haven’t done Cowboy Action Shooting in a while because you have to use a shotgun, and that is loud. USPSA is just a...

It is kind of up and down at this point, but the trajectory seems to be a slow fade. Right now, I would say it is probably around a 3. It is enough to be noticeable, but a long way from where I was two months ago. I keep reminding myself of the progress I have made in the last month and a half...

Hi everyone, I know it has been a long time since I posted here. Let me first say that for those who listened to the warnings to stay away from Wim Hof and avoided it successfully, I am very happy and grateful. For anyone who has been injured by Wim Hof breathing, as many of us have, you have my...

No improvement. It is quite consistent as well as constant. The doctors say there is no remedy for tinnitus. My hearing is still pretty good, though, even with some age-related high-frequency loss.

I wanted to reach out to you because I feel I can trust your judgment and advice. There are many longtime tinnitus sufferers here with incredible insight, and I’m so grateful for all the comments I’ve received on my posts. Yours, in particular, really stayed with me and meant a lot during a...

Great news! Fading through habituation is real. If you are at a level of 1–2 out of 10 by now, that is very mild tinnitus, and it should become non-bothersome soon as it fades into the background. The way you described it earlier seemed quite a bit more intrusive. Mild tinnitus usually makes...

Was on a "real resturant" for the first time in my life after i got worse tinnitus..... Lord what a nightmare, like 90 people talking simutainlously and those sitting next to us shouting and being very noisy. Hard to hear what people around me were saying so would say it was 80-90 DB. Luckily i...

It's now been over 10 months and I don't have the feeling that anything has improved. No habituation in sight... This can't really be my life now.

@Luman, ummm… I think the world is entering a dangerous stage right now, and from various angles. You can pick and choose which one feels the most immediate or the most dangerous. Climate change? The hottest summer on record. I will never be a movie star now, Hollywood has burned out. Security...

Many thanks for taking the time and effort to explain things. It lifts our spirits to have a member who is on top of their game in auditory matters.

I think today may be the best day I have had yet. I really believe the fading is real. I will probably change my mind about that a million times today, but right now I feel pretty positive. I slept like a log last night. The temperatures are cooling off here, and I was so cozy in bed with the...

I am so sorry. That sounds beyond horrible. Has it improved at all over the years? What did your doctor say? Do you have any hearing loss?

The only thing that keeps me going is the hope that one day I can get better. Whether it happens after two years or three does not matter. That hope is the only thing that keeps me moving forward. The thought of living like this for the rest of my life because of three seconds of noise in my...

No worries, thanks for asking! We don't directly approach researchers with the offer of a grant, per se. Our strategy is to ensure that as many researchers as possible are aware of our grants program, so that hopefully we get many high-quality applications. We've conducted extensive research to...

I was at a rock concert in a front-left seat. The giant, school-bus-sized speakers, meant to send sound all the way to the back lawn seats, were not far from my left side. The long-forgotten opening band played their set at a nice, reasonable level. But the very first note the Allman Brothers...

Please tell me, what kind of hearing test blasts your ears with 12 kHz at 90 dB? Was it done by professionals? Here, tests go only up to 8 kHz, and never anywhere near 90 dB. The volume is about the same as normal speech. Yes, it takes a long time, but if you can live almost normally again...

President Donald Trump said Friday he didn't know "anything" about what the New York Times reported was a classified 2019 SEAL Team 6 mission in North Korea in which unarmed North Korean civilians were killed during an aborted operation. So this means either that Trump's dementia is in full...

Hi! How are you doing now?

I have the same experience you do. When I first got tinnitus, it was really reactive, but mild except when I encountered noise, and my hyperacusis was much worse. I still have reactive tinnitus, and yes, I think the same thing happened to me. I tried using “nature” or “relax” sounds on my phone...

Still the same. From what I’ve read, it’s a pretty rare thing, but it may help some people.

I’m sorry if this has already been answered, but are you going to reach out to researchers to offer grants, or is Tinnitus Quest waiting to see who applies?

I am a God-fearing person, and repeating Psalm 23 helps me cope, especially the verse: “Though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil… and surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life.” Keep hoping. God helps us survive and thrive through...

Google European loans to Ukraine with frozen Russian assets. This is a very clever strategy, compared to Biden's multi-billion-dollar taxpayer giveaways, with no diplomatic attempts to end the conflict. Kamala would likely have done it the same way as Biden.

Stay off those boards, or wherever you’re reading those stories, whether it’s here or somewhere else. You said it yourself: your mood doesn’t improve when you read them. I’d say it actually has the opposite effect. Make sure you’re getting enough auditory input during the day and not staying in...

That’s where I am, too. How could fifteen minutes in a furnace room change my life forever? Why didn’t I see the danger? Why didn’t I make a different choice? Why did I do this to myself? Did I ruin my whole life in fifteen minutes? The guilt, regret, and anger can feel overwhelming. But I try...

It gives me a lot of hope to hear you say that. Stories like yours are why I joined this forum. Your exposure was so much worse than mine, but you still improved within the year. This is exactly what I need to hear. It shows me that healing is still very possible. I honestly didn’t think my...

Looks like the farmers got what they voted for. Bootstrap time. Reminds me of a famous quote: "fool me once, shame on... shame on you. Fool me... You can't get fooled again!"

Hey @Jambo, how are you doing now? Did the tinnitus worsening from the steroid injection get better?

Show me the data! And I say that with some embarrassment, as I learned today that Trump is lambasting the Europeans—for what? For buying cheap Russian oil. No surprise there. My guess is it is probably the Hungarians or the Slovakians, since they are often eager to please Putin regardless of...

I am guessing that the noise you were exposed to was on the lower end of the scale when it comes to damaging sounds, and that your prospects for near full recovery are very good. In 1992, I was exposed to a huge explosion in the room where I was working. It caused the sudden onset of very severe...

This is not true. Trump has never said anything like that about Republican voters. It began circulating on the internet in 2015. People Magazine has said that they have no record of this quote.

I really needed to hear this. Thank you.
