Really? That’s hilarious! At least we know the stories are real. I sometimes wondered if it was just making them up. I instruct it to give me real stories only, but you never know. I have found some of them on Reddit and here. The sheer number of recovery stories that happen between months eight...

I don’t know the results of your hearing test, but if the audiologist recommends hearing aids and your insurance or the VA covers them, it’s worth giving them a try. I have severe pulsatile tinnitus in my left ear and moderate in my right. Besides improving my hearing, the hearing aids also help...

How old are you, @Badger55?

One big benefit of the Mongolian gerbil study is that it connects the improvement of tinnitus symptoms to synapse repair. Maybe AC102 will not be able to improve chronic tinnitus, but other therapeutics based on nerve repair, such as CIL-001 and NervGen, gain a boost of optimism that their...

This isn’t true. Several studies have demonstrated significant and consistent reductions in tinnitus with DBS, although the sample sizes have been very limited. Neurosoft is planning to launch their phase 2 study for their tinnitus implant next year, based on positive phase 1 data in a cohort of...

I’ve been following your posts, and I’m truly sorry about your situation. It sounds incredibly difficult. Do you think living in a noisy city like Paris has slowed down your recovery?

how are you

Yeah, it’s a bit tricky. I’ve been feeding it daily updates. Right now I’m dealing with a spike, probably from ETD, so I’m adding data every few hours, haha.

The tinnitus DBS results from Maastricht will be released on October 28, when the lead scientist defends her PhD on the subject. https://www.maastrichtuniversity.nl/events/phd-defence-jana-veerle-patrick-devos

Just wanted to check in and see how you're doing.

@jennyb123, I just wanted to check in and see how you’re doing. Have you noticed any improvements over the past month?

nasılsın

I also use ChatGPT to share success stories of people who found relief, and one example was my own story that I had posted here 😂

I had a single acoustic trauma nine months ago and did not notice a tolerable abatement until about six months after the event. It is much softer now and the head buzzing has mostly faded. The sound I hear in a quiet room is what I guess I have habituated to, and it no longer causes the anxiety...

im scared im afraid giving up only solution i dont wanna exist

@Strife_84, you’re right, they only take cash, the audiologists who offer it. I wonder why. I tried the pulsating bracelet, $250 a month, and it didn’t do anything. Audiologists know people with tinnitus are desperate. In my case, I couldn’t even afford the initial exam. The audiologist told me...

I had sciatica and found success with a series of three epidural steroid injections in 2022. That was before I developed noise-induced tinnitus in April 2024. I’m concerned that this upcoming epidural injection might spike or worsen my current tinnitus. Has anyone experienced a spinal injection...

You should be getting the maximum possible attenuation. Car travel is very risky for reactive tinnitus. I use Peltor earmuffs with foam plugs underneath.

Hi, I’ve been raising a dog for four to five years. It’s a small breed, but its bark is quite loud. When I come home, it barks constantly and won’t calm down. Sometimes it even barks while I’m sleeping and wakes me up. I’ve had tinnitus for four months now, with high-frequency hearing loss...

I’ve been dealing with this for 34 years. An 80-decibel exposure with earmuffs would bring the level down to the low 60s at least. The tinnitus aggravation should be temporary, although it can sometimes take a long time to settle. Focus on relaxing and getting enough sleep, and things will calm...

Remission means it is gone or there is very little. I had three years of this hell and very little sleep. Like everyone else, I had thoughts of leaving this earth. Lying around depressed with nothing but bad thoughts tends to lead to planning. How can I get away from this pain, with no hope or...

Obviously, you don’t have to post a word if you don’t like him. We all have our own minds and opinions. I respect other people’s opinions, though I’m not a fan of hatred. I love interactive conversation. There’s your opinion, my opinion, and lastly the truth.

Shaking my head stops it for a split second, but it comes right back again. I think I’m still making earwax in that ear. What’s most annoying for me is watching TV. If I don’t have moderately loud masking or a fan running, the constant on-and-off with dialogue makes it impossible, since it...

Great! How much do you dilute the DMSO? Do you dip the Q-tip in the DMSO and let it soak? Do you insert the Q-tip fully so that it touches the eardrum?

I’m so sorry Klonopin isn’t helping! I usually take Xanax if I’m anxious or can’t sleep during a spike, but I rely mostly on white noise and keeping myself distracted (plus exercising… sorry that hasn’t helped you either). I know sometimes you just can’t escape the sound and it feels...

Still spike from below incident. Cant really understand why it spiked so huge. wore earplugs and everything so makes no sense....

When I say six months, I’m basing this on what I’ve read on Tinnitus Talk and on my own experience. I must be one of the severe cases. I developed tinnitus, with four new sounds, along with hyperacusis at a music festival, even though I was wearing custom hearing protection rated for 25 dB. My...

hi there.. has Betahistine helped you out so far?

hey there , i read you betahistine post. im really curious how your doing right now since you started that regimen?

“Speech is silver, silence is golden.” — Popularized in English by the poet Thomas Carlyle . We’re here to support each other and help one another get through this, even though silence is something most of us with tinnitus will never have again.

How can you tell if your tinnitus is bilateral or unilateral? Mine is mostly in my left ear. But when I go to sleep and rest my head on the pillow on my right side, if I listen closely, I can hear a low humming. I’m not sure if this is my imagination or if the sound is reverberating from the...

That sounds like Eustachian Tube Dysfunction. You may need to see an ENT to check the pressure in your ears. I once had an ENT who wanted me to go through an MRI, but I was afraid it might worsen the tinnitus from 30 to 60 minutes of listening to a clanking, knocking, very loud machine. I’m not...

I don't post here often enough but anything I would title him would probably get me banned.

@Cirq, how loud was your tinnitus?

I still think I am the unluckiest bastard.

how you feel maggie

“Sound waves from the air conditioning” Yes, 100%. There’s definitely something about those sound waves and vibrations. I notice that when I’m in bed it almost always turns into a steady hum. The same thing happens after I get out of a vehicle. Do head movements pause or change it? For me...

I needed a boost today, so I asked ChatGPT for more recovery stories. I want my life back. Okay — here's a timeline-style look at people who had tinnitus from acoustic trauma (one-time or brief exposures) and saw major improvement or remission between 6–12 months. These are drawn from...

spike went down from clomipramine?

how long you used clonazepam which dose

I don’t believe that’s true. There is no magic shut-off switch at six months. It is very common for tinnitus from acoustic injuries to last longer than six months and still resolve or fade dramatically. I’ve had mine for seven and a half months, and it didn’t start to fade until the middle of...

I have had tinnitus for more than 15 years. It really started getting worse when I had complications from gallbladder issues and pancreatitis. They admitted me to the hospital and pumped me full of Ciprofloxacin, three or four bags, to get the pancreatitis under control before they could remove...

I had tinnitus my whole life basically very low level only right ear never bothered by it exploded after intravenous methylprednsilone became bilateral, gave me visual snow dysacusis and ear pain. the funny part is i used that medication for mild sound exposure i was actually aware how shitty...

hows sertraline i am same with you trust me i want to try something for my pain and mental health

Sitting on a bench on a chilly early autumn evening enjoying my tinnitus masked a little by the wind in the trees.

Thank you @alwaysmasking, but unfortunately the little "miracle" only lasted one week... I didn't want to talk about it, as I didn't want to spread negativity again, but after one week of using 7.5 mg of Mirtazapine, I had to increase the dose again to 15 mg. And it still doesn't help me sleep...

Hi all, I wanted to share my experience. I had two teeth drilled, one on Monday and one today. I also did some experiments with ear protection and the occlusion effect. Monday I used all the protection I had: foam earplugs rated at 30 dB and Peltor X5A earmuffs rated at 37 dB. The sound of the...

Do you recall the lively discussion with Tom Cync, who managed to emerge from the depths of tinnitus and hyperacusis by somehow “weathering it out” and trying to get used to loud noise? https://www.tinnitustalk.com/threads/im-fine-%E2%80%94-tinnitus-is-basically-not-a-thing-anymore.55510/...

What would you title him?

@Jrblovsky, my intrusive, loud tinnitus started in May of 2022. I wasn’t aware of any sounds before that day. About a week earlier, I thought I had pink eye, but it turned out to be blood in my eye. The tinnitus was unbearable, even when my eyes were shut. I went to the doctor to get some gel...

Has anyone been part of their intake and tried this?

I worked today. T started off bad. But it seemed to level off throughout the shift, and now it's much reduced... I don't need to mask at all. I've noticed this is a common trend. Days where I don't work usually means terrible T all day. Days where I work... I'm OK once I get back. This isn't...

I think I have this in one ear. If you have noise-cancelling headphones, try placing one in each ear, one at a time. When I put one in my good ear, I can only hear the distorted sounds in my bad ear. But if I plug only my bad ear, the distorted sounds disappear completely. I’ve been told it is...
