    Will It Go Away? I'm Going Mad!

    Causes of tinnitus include....trauma, depression, anxiety, tmj. I can't find tinnitus listed as a side effect of naproxen. Intermittent tinnitus is very common and can be caused by a number of conditions. What's important is taking care of depression and anxiety and hopefully the body heals itself.

    Liam Boehm — A Scammer or What?

    Thanks @Lyman for your updates. They give a pretty concise description of what to expect if a person were to do his program. That said, it would be unfortunate if people fail distinguish between the message and the messenger. I myself think there's a LOT of potential for improvements in...

    Does Most Acoustic Trauma Induced Tinnitus Go Away by 6 Months?

    Feels bad. Yeah, I have 10+ sounds, including clicking in both ears (could be TTTS maybe?), 4 tones of Morse code in one ear that get worse if I lie down on the other ear (and I can provoke them by doing Valsalva or yawning - maybe middle ear damage?), 16-18 kHz wavering sound in both ears, 12...

    Intermittent Tinnitus

    Hi @Michael Leigh! Do you still have intermittent tinnitus? Have you been able to habituate? Have any supplements helped? I was advised to try NAC. I'm unsure if I should try meds like Klonopin? Thank you in advance! I'm having a difficult time trying to figure this out.

    Intermittent Fasting for Tinnitus Relief

    There is another version of intermittent fasting. Fast for 16 hours everyday and eat using an 8 hour window.That means skipping mainly breakfast. Also do not overindulge during eating window.

    How to Tell the Level of Tinnitus?

    When I think back, I used to get this intermittent ringing in my ear but thought not too much of it as it would only be for a few minutes and would then disappear. This was obviously a warning sign and I basically ignored it, because it never really bothered me. T doesn’t become a problem until...

    Tinnitus Changing Tones

    I used to have 3 tones a high tone, medium oscillating tone, and a intermittent low tone. Since increasing my Prednisone, the tone has become more high pitched. I don't hear any low tones anymore. It is also becoming reactive. What does this mean? I don't know what to do.

    Is It Possible to Get Used to Morse Code Type Tinnitus?

    I got morse code type tinnitus 6 months ago and still have some problems to adjust... Is it possible to adjust to it with time? Like habituation? Because it's not my regular hissing that is constant, it's intermittent and so far really hard to ignore it. Is there people around who have get used...

    New University of Michigan Tinnitus Discovery — Signal Timing

    Isn’t Dr. Shore’s study closed for new patients now? I got a reply from a local ENT... “Thank you for contacting re the OTO-313 study. Can you tell me something about your tinnitus. Start date, severity, one-sided or bilateral, any associated hearing loss, intermittent or constant, etc.”

    MRI to Diagnose Mild Tinnitus?

    I have been experiencing intermittent, unilateral Tinnitus for 4-6 weeks and visited my PCP, yesterday. He decided to do Complete Blood Chemistry and ordered an MRI. I thought this was a little aggressive on the diagnosis side and I thought he would refer me to an ENT. He said if the blood...

    Tinnitus and Success with Fasting

    Hello, I just wanted to share how I got much much better from my noise induced tinnitus. The one thing that has helped me a lot is fasting. It turns out that many great things happen to your body when you fast. I recommend you watch the following video about the effects of fasting and give it a...

    What's the Point When Tinnitus Improving Would Make Me Happier Than Anything Else?

    Do you think there's a chance that once I'm fully off of the Prednisone that my tinnitus might calm down and become bearable? This is my only hope right now.

    Repeated Modified Nerve Blocks and Auditory and Non-Auditory Nerve Stimulation

    What do you guys think about this being good for middle ear myoclonus issues? I have involuntarily rumbling of middle ear muscles from sounds, some internal sound autophony (not SCDS), TMJ nerve pain, single-sided facial nerve twitches around my ear and temple, and ear fullness. It's as if the...

    Neck and Jaw Connection to Tinnitus

    I received two lower dental implants and now I have intermittent tinnitus in my right ear. It's worse in the morning and nighttime. If I clench my lower jaw, I can block out the tinnitus and replace it with the high-pitched tinnitus I had every few days my entire life prior to this full-blown...

    Question About Tinnitus/Ear Popping

    Not exactly sure where to post this but it seems that whenever I "pop" my ears by opening my mouth/moving my jaw around my tinnitus disappears for a good couple of seconds. I can also bring it back by doing the same thing, if I am not currently experiencing it. My T sounds like a high pitched...

    Hidden Hearing Loss, Ear Fullness/Pressure, Hyperacusis, and Tinnitus After Second Acoustic Trauma

    About Betahistine and Lysine, they are low-risk options that you can try without a doctor’s advice, honestly. I do see the drop at low frequencies, which is suspicious. I don’t think I can help much though, since audiograms can be inconsistent and don’t show the bigger picture. It does sound...

    TNF Alpha and Brain Inflammation

I will combine this with an anti-inflammatory gluten free, organic vegan diet + natural TNF inhibitors (curcumin, spirulina, etc.) + intermittent fasting. Will get in touch with...

    Not Normal Tinnitus?

    There's no such thing as normal tinnitus. Some have high pitched, some low pitched, some loud, some quiet; some constant, some reactive, some intermittent, some hissing, some screeching and some people's come and go, some peoples changes every five minutes. My point is. Everyone's is different...

    Is Complete Silence Possible for a Tinnitus Sufferer?

    I don't really understand this phenomenon. If it's possible to have silence intermittently, why can't the brain filter tinnitus out permanently? I had one of my sounds silent for about an hour this morning, but it's back.

    Earplugs Making Hyperacusis Worse?

    People say this because that's what they experience. In my case I wore earmuffs every time I went to outside. I even wore them at home to listen to my tinnitus and to get used to it quicker. And guess what, over every white-noise alike sound, I started hearing crickets, intermittent beeps (sound...

    Tinnitus Triggered by Muscle Tension, Neck Strain and Possible Nerve Damage

    I have also noticed that my tinnitus becomes much worse if I stretch the muscles or massage myself. Trigger point release or stretching of the sternocleidomastoid (SCM) muscle, in particular, can aggravate my tinnitus for days. If you find any solution, please keep us informed! 🙂

    Tinnitus Started Suddenly from COVID-19 Infection and Is Now My Main Long Covid Symptom

    I did a hearing test with an app and spoke to a tinnitus consultant. They said I had mild hearing loss but didn't think it was significant enough to cause the tinnitus. I've always figured that the intermittent nature of it meant that it wasn't hearing loss either. I can have days of complete...

    Intermittent Tinnitus and Taking Clonazepam to Prevent a Loud Tinnitus Day?

    Long-Term Tinnitus and Hyperacusis

    I think it was around 1985 when I first started having intermittent tinnitus and it was around 2000 when it became persistent (24/7). It has ebbs and flows where it is more intense, but never goes away. It is exacerbated by arthritis in that every NSAID seems to make it worse. I have had...

    Spike After Playing Piano — Permanent or Temporary?

    Hey Mantra, the chances of having an acoustic neuroma tumor are slim; the odds are greater if you have hearing loss in just one ear. My tinnitus is in one ear, and intermittent; I assume in my case the tumor brought on the tinnitus. In most people's case however it is from exposure to loud...

    What Exactly Is a Tinnitus Spike?

    Yeah but what is it? Is it when it gets twice as loud? When you can hear it over masking? Sorry if this is a stupid question. I'm asking because I have some intermittent symptoms. Do I have mild tinnitus and these are spikes? Or do I just have days with tinnitus and days without?

    Hi, Morgan, I also have intermittent tinnitus that chirps like crickets, (and lately more like Morse code - I like that description). The louder the tinnitus the higher the pitch.

    Bringing Up Children Whilst Having Tinnitus

    No, I don't need to. My tinnitus is very very mild and intermittent and my hyperacusis only comes and goes. The hardest part about my tinnitus is focusing at work when it flares up, and the emotional hit from losing my ability to play electric guitar and drums.
