My hearing in my left ear is going bad by the day. So is my right I am sure but not as noticeable. The tinnitus has been increasing by the day as well. Along with acid reflux which I have never noticed before. I have been doing a lot of reading and learned that acid reflux can cause hearing...

Where is this found in Windows?

Who hasn't thought of suicide that has tinnitus so bad that they are willing to take brain altering meds to get by?

I am in the same boat. Had occasional problems sleeping. I would take Ambian and t would fix me right up. But now my tin is so loud it is ineffective. Doc put me on 1 mg ox Xenex for stress. That got me some sleep but last night did not work at all. Wrled at first but my tin got...

Yes severe hearing loss. My own fault for being so stupid for so many years and not caring for my hearing better. I cared more about having fun than my hearing and I will keep it at that. It took getting this bad to be my wake up call. But now it has become unmanageable. I wish I could...

Two things that keep me going for now. 1. Things will be better tomorrow. I have had tinnitus for years. But it was always manageable. Literally overnight things changed. I was in very good shape. Just go finished with a bicycle tour of Mt Hood Oregon. Very proud of myself that I...

I was also diagnosed with Meniere's. Yes I do have periodic bouts of dizziness if I get up too fast from a prone position. But I also have mild afib and some circulation issues. I know I am in trouble with my afib, when I am dizzy just from sitting up. I also have problems when I...

Hyperacusis seems to be abating a bit, or maybe I am just getting used to it because it is new to me.

Never caused a spike for me before though it was uncomfortable during the cleaning. But far less uncomfortable than that constant scraping the old fashioned way. I need to go this afternoon. :( I will ask for the old fashioned way due to my spike.

This does not sound good. I WILL NOT increase any more dosage. If I do that I will never get off. I am regretting starting this in the first place. I was sleeping better with my Ambien but the doc convinced me to try Xanax to see if it would help with stress. I thought I would try it...

Yes... I have had brief ones but they might just last the day. Never one this long.

Yes I will have a trial period. The hyperacusis makes me concerned that the hearing aides will make it worse.

I am now wondering if acid reflux is the cause of my recent spike! And sound sensitivity! Here is my recent history. I went to an ENT with a complaint of fullness in the left ear and my spike in tinnitus. I also complained of a drainage down my throat with at at least SEEMED to me as a...

My tinnitus is at a very high frequency and is very loud. Something I don't get with your brain is trying to replace the sound theory... If I had to hear that tone at anytime even with great hearing, it would drive me insane. In fact I used to work as a tech in a television repair shop...

Not yet. Another week or so till they get here.

I took 1 mg last night and got 4 hours of sleep. I really need 8. My fear is getting dependent on them. And it becoming less effective. The first time I took it I got 7 hours of sleep. And now I am down to 4. Plus the internet is just full of horror stories on withdrawal of...

So I was trying to relax last night to hopefully get at least some sleep. It was Labor Day here in the US. So my jackass neighbor decided to launch some fireworks. They were so loud! I thought I left my windows open but they were closed. I grabbed my earplugs but they were of little...

Pretty much same here.

I went down to .5mg last night. Did not do a damn thing for me. I think part of my mistake was taking 10mg of melatonin with it. I had horrible nightmares. Real quick brief ones that would wake me. My PCP is not going to renew my script. This one very clearly said ONLY WHEN...

About 3-4 weeks.

CBD Oil is SO expensive. I stopped into a shop recently. They want $90 US for a little bottle. The two guys working the place seemed like flakes.

My normal tinnitus is sort of a high pitched tone that varies in frequency a bit. Every once in a great while I will hear a rather loud lower pitched tone. Put just for a very brief period. Pretty sure it was from no outside source. Anyone else get this? The other thing I get is in a...

Exactly. Had a dream about it last night. It was more of a noise thing rather than the high pitched sound I usually hear. But there was no outside source for the noise in my dream. Also a few weeks ago I had a dream, more of a nightmare that sounded like intense grinding in my head. It...

I can no longer sleep without help from drugs. I have tried everything. Trying to relax, melatonin, masking sounds, playing the radio. But the tinnitus has gotten SO LOUD none of that helps. When I say can't sleep I mean none, nada. I just lay there all night. Add to the fact with this...

This is what I was told. I called two different places. I used the plugs they provided, I inserted them as deeply as possible. I swear my tinnitus is worse now. I don't know why I did not think of bringing my silicone 3Ms. They are easier to insert. I should have checked back here...

I just had one. I checked two different places and both said the only thing you can have is ear plugs. Ear muffs would not fit in the scanner and would interfere with the scan is what I was told. I think my tinnitus is now louder because of the scan.

As I am sure some others have mentioned I would have avoided loud places. But they never seemed to make my tin and worse and I was out enjoying my life. I think my tin actually started from SCUBA diving and not loud places as I really wasn't going to them then. You can't play that...

I am also going to get a MRI soon. Considering my recent spike in my tinnitus, I am very nervous about the noise. I was told there is nothing else I can wear other than plugs. But I have also noticed that my hearing has gotten much worse in the past several months. I used to easily hear...

I am in the same boat. I am currently on Xanax, I have a two week stint. I hope that helps. Before I had Ambien which works but I have been under a lot of stress dues to a recent long term spike. Ambien was not getting me a full nights rest. I plan to take the Xanax for 2 weeks then...

But what is TRT! ;) Yeah ever since the ramp up and feeling of fullness in my left ear. Had tinnitus for years.

$3,400 is very doable for me. I am going for hearing aids for the first time on Thursday. I understand they can be $3000+ each. That scares me. ;)

What was the so called cure with avocados that you could get in Mexico called? My co-worker's wife had cancer. They spent $30000 for the treatment which was probably a good chunk of their life's savings. She was dead within months.

My vote is ANYTHING is possible with tinnitus. It could be you had ringing after the event but your mind just blocked it out. Now it is hearing it.

LOL. Why I never went on a regular basis. Looking back I wish I would have at least seen an audiologist just to have track of my hearing. But every time I have been to an ENT, I have not been impressed. Saw one recently dues to a feeling of fullness in my left ear. She said it could...

Sorry I am new to this game. TRT hearing aids? Just googled it and came up with nothing. And Is that $3400 a pair? Or each? You actually feel pain? I am so sorry about that. I hope things get better for you or you find a solution that works.

Just ordered one of these that I am anxious to try. https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07V2S95BG/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 Thought others might find it interesting. But my question, has anyone found any benefits of a dedicated sleep machine over just an app for phone or...

I have already asked if hearing aids helped with your tinnitus, now I would like to know about sound sensitivity. With my ramp up in tinnitus, I have noticed a new thing, a ramp up in sensitivity to high pitch sounds. Other loud sounds don't particularly bother me I think. Other than I am...

Actually after rereading my response, I meant ANYONE. ;) Not that you still aren't welcome if you want to jump on a plane. :)

Dittos give me hope. :) Hope Candy is still listening!

Well I had to go to meds. Got some Xanax today from my PCP. I hope it lets me relax, sleep and at least reduces the sound as it has for some. Please hold me in your good thoughts.

Oh and those stupid tree frogs in the Caribbean! They would drive me insane. ;) Just would not shut up. But at least I was able to plug my ears on that one.

I have a question. How often CAN you ignore it? For me it has gotten to a point where I can't unless I get very busy. And then if I take a break or something and then I start hearing it even when I get busy.

No I hate Facebook. And thanks for the kind thought, that helps.

One thing that I have always thought about those in pain emotional or otherwise. Especially emotional since it seems to be more closely related to the pain from tinnitus. What I used to think is that things will be better tomorrow. If not tomorrow, then maybe the day after that. But if...

I m the same way. And I hear it because I am thinking about it. I think about it so I hear it. A viscous cycle like you said. Does anyone hear it while watching TV or listening to music?

BTW I just finished a solo bike tour of Columbia River Gorge and climbed the highway up to Mt. Hood. So I figure if I can do that I can do anything. ;)

I thought of ear plugs. Finally bought some but have been unable to ride because of this recent major spike. I was always reluctant to wear them because of not being able to hear they traffic.

I m also an avid cyclist. I am convinced that cycling has contributed to my hearing lose but I love it so much too. Where did you get your helmet? This is the first I heard of one that covers the ears. I sure hope I can get over this spike and this insomnia so I can get back to it.

When I was a kid, my ears would just ring from time to time for no reason. My mom would say "someone is talking about you". If it is a saying then it tells me that just happens from time to time for most people. I got to wondering that if most people's ears ring often just they can ignore...

I live in Pittsburgh, PA and would love a visit. Just PM me.

I am still here fighting. Decided not to give up yet. Going to talk to my PCP to see if he can either givee me something other than Ambien to sleep. Or better get me admitted to the hospital for a few days for a sleep study for extreme insomnia. Our local hospital has a program but I...

I have never had a spike this long. Usually kast a day or two. And yes it has gotten worse over the years.

I wonder if aspirin is what put me over the edge? My doctor has had me on a baby dosage for a few years due to a heart condition. I stopped on my own when the tin started getting really bad. But I did not know it was a cause. Once I got on it, I never noticed a difference since I had...

And I can't afford to live the rest of my life that way.

Walk to markets? Ha. This is not the city nearest supermarket is 5 or more miles away up a busy road.

I am only 60. ;) I have tried the natural remedies like melatonin. Nothing is working. This is not initial panic. I have had tinnitus for about 30 years and have always been able to accept it and deal with it. It is only the last couple of weeks that it has been really, really bad.

The lesson I did not learn from Mrs. Doresey in the 4th grade was "never stick anything in your ear but your elbow".

I wish I had not used the eardbud type. I have used the cheap earplug type foe years, never seemed to be an issue. I should have used the headphone type

Pretty "normal" I guess. I get that from time to time,

Did symptoms not go away after getting off of it?
