No, not anymore.

Lipoflavonoid will lipo your wallet.

I would assume cost is the main factor. Beyond the price of travel and lodging, I am willing to bet the treatment itself will be very expensive. I imagine that even those of us in the United States will struggle to afford it.

An audiologist I visited several years ago told me that the tests another audiologist had performed on me, which made my condition worse, should never have been given to someone with tinnitus. So there are at least some who have an idea of what they’re talking about. I don’t think it’s only...

Well I've seen all I need to see.

I’ll also be waiting to read a recap here, as I can’t really listen to anything anymore either, especially live events where there might be mic pops or other sudden sounds.

Does this mean that if you have random loud noise encounters that cause pain and a menthol-like burning sensation, you are making things worse? Or does it only mean that continuing to expose yourself to painful environments for hours at a time is the real problem? I usually manage fine by...

Has anyone asked how this device will handle multi-tonal tinnitus and sounds that are difficult to match, such as static or oscillating tones?

Were you wearing headphones or earmuffs? Earmuffs provide protection, but headphones do not. If they were earmuffs with a high attenuation rating, then the fit of the foam earplugs would not matter quite as much. Here’s how attenuation ratings work with double protection: take the highest-rated...

Yeah, I've never trusted those places either, but I'm now overdue and can't wait for a dealer appointment next month. I put it off thinking the dealer would be more expensive, but it turns out they actually aren't, at least for an oil change. I'm going to go there for my next change though. I'm...

My car needs an oil change. I’ve been taking it to a local mechanic I trust, but I have to walk through the garage to reach the office and pay when I pick up my car. I’ve already had too many exposures there to loud tools. I was thinking about going to the dealership instead, since they tend to...

Because it downplays the condition. The URL to the article is even a 404 now, if that says anything.

Sounds like a Ginkgo biloba buncha bull to me.

Did you take it on an empty stomach? Prednisone can increase stomach acid and irritate the stomach lining, so you should always take it with a meal. It can also raise anxiety levels. The first time I ever took Prednisone, I was a nervous wreck. It can cause changes in your tinnitus while you are...

@Badger55, I try not to openly share personal information about myself with OpenAI and Palantir.

Oh man, the hits keep coming. I didn’t even get a chance to reply to comments before another incident happened. I was trapped in a Target bathroom today for about a minute while some neckbeard-sounding guy spoke loudly over the intercom. He just wouldn’t stop, as if he loved the sound of his...

Get yourself some custom-molded earplugs from ACS Custom to help with loud city noise. For noisy streets, I’d recommend the Total Block Standard Clear plugs, since they provide higher attenuation than the other designs. If lectures are uncomfortably loud, you might want filtered ones instead...

Is it normal to be out for hours and have no pain or burning until about an hour after returning home? I drove an hour and forty minutes to the city, took care of something, and then drove the same distance back. I had no issues while I was out. After getting back home, my ear started feeling...

I'm no longer taking it.

It wasn’t the extended high-frequency test. In fact, I don’t believe I was given anything other than a standard audiogram. I think it was the acoustic reflex test, and it was unbearably loud to me. Yes, it gave me a permanent spike with two new tones. At the time, it was the reason for my...

Immediate, head-exploding unilateral 4 kHz pure tone, followed a few days later by an additional 6 kHz pure tone.

I’m back to report that I’ve had stomach pain every day since taking a single dose of Abilify. It started as a slightly sour stomach but has progressed to burning indigestion. I hope this medication hasn’t ruined my stomach acid regulation. I don’t need yet another health problem or more pain.

I went for an extended high-frequency audiogram, and they performed an acoustic reflex test without informing me.

Antibiotics to AVOID (Ototoxic): Fluoroquinolones (e.g., ciprofloxacin, levofloxacin) Macrolides (e.g., erythromycin, azithromycin) Aminoglycosides (e.g., gentamicin) Tetracyclines (e.g., doxycycline) Safest Choices (Low Ototoxicity): Penicillin-based antibiotics (e.g., amoxicillin...

Do you live in the US?

TMS is loud: Sound comparison of seven TMS coils at matched stimulation strength. Earplugs may not have been enough for already compromised hearing and preexisting tinnitus.

I’m interested to know how it goes for you. I’m in that area as well, and I’ve read that it may help with pain hyperacusis too.

A dose of 22.5 mg may be too high for the optimal sedative effect. Mirtazapine’s H1 receptor antagonism tends to plateau at lower doses, while its noradrenergic activation increases with higher doses, which can actually keep you more alert. I’d suggest trying 15 mg, or possibly even lowering it...

Have you always had some level of tolerance to Mirtazapine and Quetiapine? Both of those knock me out for a full 24 hours. My psychiatrist said I have a sensitivity to those classes of medications. I can’t take them for sleep, not because they don’t work, but because they work too well.

I hope attendees get a surprise.

I was just exposed to someone honking their horn across the parking lot as I was switching my earplugs in my right ear. I was in-between doors at the entrance to a store where it was quiet, and I guess the door sensed me and opened. Right as it opened, someone thought it would be funny to honk...

After taking my first dose yesterday (2 mg), my tinnitus felt calmer than usual for an hour or two, possibly close to the level it was before my trip to Los Angeles. However, after that, the usual intense hissing that antidepressants tend to cause returned. I also felt somewhat nauseous, and my...

I’m taking my first dose now. I had been trying to wait and see if my tinnitus spike would settle, so I could better evaluate how it might be affected. But since it has been a month with no signs of improvement, I have decided to start taking Abilify.

No progress so far. My left ear is significantly worse. All the tones are louder and more piercing, and I have developed a new cicada-like sound. Everything is at full intensity from the moment I wake up. It used to build gradually throughout the day, but now I cannot believe how much worse it...

The problem I face every time my tinnitus worsens is that all my old coping strategies no longer work, and I have to start over to find ways to make it through. It's completely exhausting. I'm pretty practiced at keeping the anxiety in check, even though I'm pretty convinced I have mild OCD, but...

This has been my experience over the past few years. The first year I had spikes, but I could pretty much do what I wanted (staying away from clubs and bars obviously), and everything stayed relatively constant. Now anything slightly loud, even with earplugs, sets off spikes that last weeks. I...
