I know you’ve had this condition for a while, and that you know yourself better than anyone. But is there even the slightest chance that the radiating pain comes from clenching your jaw due to the stress that sounds cause?

I got tinnitus about 1.5 years ago, and I started seeing the first signs of improvement after beginning Clonazepam, following 10 months of pure hell with loud tinnitus. Now, at 1.5 years, I still have it, but I have a lot of hope for the future, and it doesn’t bother me nearly as much anymore. I...

Being in extremely hot temperatures lowers my tinnitus by about half. I only realized this past summer and I'm sure it's related to either muscle tension or vasodilation. Something to remember

I often feel like that just before going away. A couple of years ago, on holiday, reactive tinnitus underlined the entire trip. But in retrospect, I figured it was better to have endured the spike in the sun with a beer rather than at home, where it was going to do its thing spiking anyway...

I keep reading that we’re not supposed to overuse earplugs with tinnitus in social spaces, since it can possibly lead to hyperacusis. That’s why, every now and then, I try to leave them off. I also remember reading about a user who wore earplugs for a year and found that it almost silenced his...

My best advice to you, if you want to focus only on the “getting better part,” is to stay clear of the stories you seem to come across most often. The more you read the “worst off” stories, the more you will suffer, in my opinion. You can ask any counselor or therapist who works with this, and...

This condition is endlessly frustrating. Had the quietest day in almost 5 years yesterday for no apparent reason. Made me hopeful. Then today happened... and well. You all know I'm sure. Damn the luck.

I’m the exact same. It’s a horrible affliction. I’m four months in after an ear infection, and I’m just not coping with this at all :(

This is exactly what I have. How are you coping now?

I’ve had sound-induced tinnitus for seven months now and have only been on these boards for a short time, but what I mostly see is a lot of suffering. Is anyone here actually getting better as time goes on and feeling like their tinnitus is moving toward resolving? Especially those who have had...

There is an interview with an Air Force engineer who had to work on jet engines running at full afterburner in the “hush house.” He developed tinnitus even while wearing full military-grade earmuffs, after only a few minutes of exposure at a time.

A member of TT, @I who love music, once participated in a music event while wearing hearing protection. It was only later that he realized sound can also travel through bone conduction. He suffered what he describes as severe tinnitus for two years, but eventually it became lower. Your wife’s...

The question is why the Democrats haven’t done anything about the Epstein files. I think you probably know why. Maybe if the Democrats ran somebody with a brain, we wouldn’t be in this mess.

I’ve read on this forum that sounds loud enough can travel through your head by bone conduction. My question is, what sort of activities are still too loud even with ear protection? I know concerts are off limits, but what about movie theaters and similar places?

Thanks for the reply, Vincent. Since my baseline was so low, I made the wrong choice in thinking that the majority age of 70+ among the attendees would allow me to go without plugs. In part, I was mostly correct until the incident happened. Sadly, I made the wrong choice, which I’m sure many...

My tinnitus is often lower when I'm exhausted. That's a good news because tinnitus is exhausting lol

Mine is often louder when I wake up, then it calms down within ten minutes to an hour after waking. If I wake up in the middle of the night, it can be extremely loud. I have TMJD, so that’s probably the reason why.

1. Tinnitus often decreases somewhat over time. You may not return fully to your previous baseline, but you should see improvement if you take good care of yourself. Protecting your ears is crucial. You didn’t mention whether you wore earplugs at the party, but I hope you did. They can make a...

Hello @Paulie87, About three months ago, I had several nights where I woke up to my tinnitus blaring at me. For some reason, I decided to check my blood pressure, and it was through the roof. I ended up going to the hospital because of it. I realized that the high blood pressure was causing...

Comparative Efficacy of Gingko biloba and Ashwagandha with Caroverine in the Treatment of Idiopathic Tinnitus: An Investigative Clinical Study

Hey, not to drag up an old thread, but your tinnitus is exactly the same as mine. I’m four months in. Is yours still present? Have you been able to habituate to it? I’m really struggling because it’s so warbling. The only place where it turns into a single tone for me is in rooms with...

Still waiting for the day they do tests on the rats that have tinnitus symptoms longer than a week.

Get your ear checked out, the one with pressure issues. You are lucky it disappears -- mine hasn't left.

How are you doing now? I have something similar. Mine is a reflection of bass sounds. In a silent room, it becomes a steady tone. When I’m surrounded by any bass, including outside road noise, it turns into an irregular boom… BOOM… Bom… BOOOOmmm type of sound. It’s infuriating. I suspect my...

Has your T improved since you posted here? I developed tinnitus caused by Bupropion at 300-450 mg dosage increase (started the day I increased my dosage, has become chronic since the day after that) in April of this year. I'm hoping it's not permanent since I've been examined by a couple...

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.
