Some more Euphoria for all of yous: https://scitechdaily.com/a-masterpiece-for-the-first-time-scientists-keep-a-mammalian-cochlea-alive-outside-the-body/ It’s pretty much the same as in the link that @ploughna gave, but with the details explained more clearly for the layman. It appears that...

Hi @Tasbloke, How long have you had tinnitus? I am so sorry you are feeling this way. I do not have any real advice to give, as I only just returned to the forum yesterday after years away. I had habituated to my tinnitus and barely noticed or thought about it. I have unilateral tinnitus that...

…And of course, it is back today, as loud as ever. Sigh. This is exhausting.

I was listening to a podcast with Apple AirPods Pro 2 while using a leaf blower. I turned up the volume so I could hear the conversation, and it went on for maybe one and a half to two hours. The result was brutal ringing, mostly in my right ear. I thought it would go away, but it hasn’t. One...

The problem with benzos, aside from their addictive potential, is that your body develops tolerance with continued use. One day, X becomes ineffective because your body adapts to X as the new normal, so you need X plus Y. Eventually, that combination becomes ineffective, so you need X plus Y...

I second that. Does anyone have contact with him anymore? I called the Brooklyn ENT clinic and was told that he is retired. He seems like an expert, and I would really appreciate his help if he is still available.

Clonazepam helps me with my tinnitus. Does your statement here mean that the longer it is used, the less effective it becomes?

Hey everyone, We keep going, we keep functioning, we keep finding a way. My favourite quote:

I'm so sorry I never responded to you. How are you doing?

I read this thread long ago. I mentioned that it didn't work for any long-term and reputable members, just the ones that posted only to this thread and disappeared. The figures are wrong, but 51% of traffic would not equate to 51% of posts, so you are conflating two different things. Summing...

I’m worried that being in a quiet space would make my tinnitus too noticeable. I also don’t think driving is helpful for my recovery, and my left ear responds strangely to human voices. I can watch a movie or go outside without any issues, but if I talk a lot, my left ear goes berserk. When...

Hi, I'm new here, but tried 4g of Glycine before bed yesterday & it's quieted it quite a bit. Not sure, but maybe down to 20-25% of what it was yesterday. Here's what I'm already doing: -Magnesium Glycinate daily ~250-350mg -Low sugar diet -Eat mostly meat, mostly beef & under 100g carbs...

I did have my ears irrigated. As far as I could tell, it had no impact on my tinnitus. It did, however, open up my hearing. My right ear was pretty blocked, so sounds were amplified for about a week before my system adjusted. I was hearing sounds I hadn't realized I wasn't hearing before. I'm...

I'm so glad to have connected with you and several others. Passing along some optimism to you has helped me, too. I used to barrage ChatGPT with questions and by the end, I was in full blown panic. It didn't help me at all. I feel much less alone having others to share experiences, progress and...

Nobody has to post for me. 51% of all internet posts are bots, so I’m not going to argue with you, as you are most likely a fake bot. I use my real name, so why don’t you use your real name instead of hiding behind a fake one? You’re just here to disrupt and attack my credibility. If you would...

I’m just outside London and have had pulsatile tinnitus for a year. I’m still navigating the health system. One of the best centres in the NHS is UCLH in London, and for really serious cases, you can be referred to the dedicated National Hospital for Neurology and Neurosurgery, which is where I...

Sorry to hear your story. I’m in a similar position. I don’t have any special insights to offer, other than to keep seeking advice from clinicians, since each piece of information is part of the puzzle. And remember, there is comfort in numbers.

Here's an old military study that shows that hearing continues to heal even after 6 months. The study ends at 6 months, so there’s no information on how long the healing process actually continues, but it does give some hope. I probably wouldn’t put too much stock into the research on...

Why couldn’t you be in an office now? If your tinnitus is very low for the majority of the day, then objectively there’s no reason you couldn’t work as normal. Working from home is great for a period of time, as it gives you more freedom. I did that myself for about a year during the...

As someone with mild to severe high-frequency losses from an acute infection, your dad’s story gives me hope. Thank you 🙂

Hi, I’m 74 years old and have had pulsatile tinnitus for 10 months now. I was given a hearing aid by the NHS, which helped me a lot. I felt I had come to terms with the tinnitus and had even begun to forget about it. I always wore headphones at the hairdresser and at home when drying my hair...

Tanacetum parthenium is a herbal supplement used for migraine.

The timing with the dentist is suspicious, so I’d definitely look into that. I need a root canal myself and I’m dreading it. Have you had a hearing test? I’m five months in with similar noises, a humming sound and a white noise ring in the other ear, after an infection. I’m in Australia as...

Seek out success stories and read them over and over again, whether on this forum or elsewhere. I don’t know much about the surgical options or their chances of success, so I’ll leave that to your doctors. What I do know is that at some point we have to stop pushing for an answer or a solution...

I’ve heard that if you’ve habituated once, it’s much easier to do it a second time. You already know the process. I wish I did, since I’m still fairly new to this! So even if this spike doesn’t settle down, you will get back to where you were, in time.

Thank you for your kind message 🙏. My ear is recovering. Right now it’s about 60 to 70 percent of my normal hearing, and this is the sixth day after onset. I’m still missing a lot in the low frequencies, but speech is understandable again.

Hi, It’s been a long time since I posted here under another name, back when I first developed tinnitus in my left ear after a major asthma attack and medication. I never thought I would be back, since my tinnitus eventually settled and I habituated. Recently, within the last week, I developed...

I have some issues with my left temporal bone that could be causing my severe left ear tinnitus. I may have to see a temporal bone specialist at John Hopkins in Baltimore.

Update: Since waking up today, my tinnitus has been almost entirely silent for the whole day. That makes it the second day in the space of four days. I’m not getting excited because I know how gutted I’ll feel when it returns. I can only hope it’s some kind of good sign, that something in my...

I’ve heard of many people who have habituated to tinnitus with TRT. Even I did, and it went lower after nine months, just by listening to masking sounds. Hyperacusis also has a known strategy of gradual exposure to sounds. It is less well known than tinnitus, but it still has its fair share of...
