I'm not saying he was in great shape before but he literally looks like a blob of pudding now.

I tried NAC 600 mg three times, and each time it doubled my tinnitus, which then returned to normal within two to three days. I suppose it makes sense that something helping one person’s tinnitus could worsen another’s, depending on which specific subtype of tinnitus they have. So my suggestion...

There is a study that shows NAC has little to no effect on hearing loss: Effect of N‐acetyl‐cysteine treatment on sensorineural hearing loss: a meta‐analysis

I can adapt to tinnitus, but with severe hearing loss is I didn't expect to get, will the second shot save me or no effect? Despite 3-week onset, will there be improvement despite my odds is 1/3? What if I live like this forever? What if it really does work? If it really does work, I hope I can...

It has been a few more months with musical tinnitus. Now it only plays one song that my brain has made up, and it goes on all day. I listen to the car radio often to help cover it. I am going to see an ENT in January, which was the earliest appointment available. I have also developed an...

Hey! I also have dysacusis and palinacusis, and I think they are connected. Dysacusis manifests as an overtone in relation to noisy sounds such as traffic, fans, showers, electric kettles, and things like that. It is usually a high-pitched overtone, but sometimes it gets lower in frequency, and...

I actually have a theory about this. If the device truly works, consider the lived experience of Group 1 (active treatment first) and Group 2 (sham treatment first) during this period. If the device is effective, Group 1 experiences improvement while Group 2 does not during the first six...

Trump will address the situation after the baby has his nap time. Dozy Don asleep again!

I’m curious about these tests myself. I’m tired of hearing about them from doctors. In my experience, the tests are unreliable and harmful to the patient in every way. The results often show that everything is fine when, in reality, it’s not. They end up blaming it on the psyche, confusing...

Hey Gabbie. Just saw your post from earlier. I believe as long as your Dentist is fully aware of the situation and you have good ear protection then all should be fine.

Look into laser root canal. Talk to your dentist about whether he can do that, or shop around for one who can. Also, keep in mind that the suction thing they use for saliva is also incredibly loud. Maybe ask if they can avoid using that as well.

Hi, I have suffered from tinnitus and hyperacusis for about 25 years. I need to have a root canal treatment or an extraction, and I am worried about the effect of all the drilling involved, as well as the stress. Could it make my condition worse?

And after a horrible few days I come to my once a month easily manageable morning buzz day (natural hormone fluctuations I guess) where I sleep like the before times and my pain and pressure settles for a few hours... I could easily live a normal happy life and feel very much like my old self...

A lot of screen time definitely increases my tinnitus symptoms.

I wanted to make a post here to say that I have the exact type of tinnitus most of you are describing. It’s a high-pitched ring combined with a low buzz that I can stop by plugging my ear, shaking my head, or listening to a fan. The ring stays no matter what, but the buzz can disappear briefly...

Harmless for healthy ears, maybe. Read into Megan Beer Wood's work.

how old are you

Is there any long term medication i can take for my panic attacks and anxiety im scared i might harm myself (jumping out from my window etc.) i am fairly suicidal can anyone help me please?

Quotes and sources to back this, please.

Hi everyone, I can hardly believe I’m writing this, but after three months of dizziness along with the buzzing in my ear, I’m finally better. I tried every possible option, and it turns out that my C2 vertebra in the upper neck was misaligned. Read about the effects this can have on the...

I just want to let you all know that I can now successfully watch TV at volume 15 without my tinnitus competing with the sound. No more crickets in the background. It also no longer competes with my fridge when it turns on or makes noise to adjust the temperature. Now it competes with my heat...

How are you doing now, @Sonia554?

Hi Tracey, I am 65 and have permanent high-pitched tinnitus. Mine developed gradually from hearing loss and eventually became permanent. I’ve been told by more than one doctor that there’s no cure, but there is help. I’m now debating whether to go to a tinnitus clinic to see if they can offer...

Well, I went today, and unfortunately, nothing changed in the audiology results. Another doctor gave me another steroid shot because he believes my hearing might improve since I mentioned that I can hear my own voice better. But the delay is so long, and it really sucks to live with severe...

Hi Sonia, I found out the emergency room Doctor misdiagnosed me, it seems not Eustachian Tube Dysfunction, but my nerve unofrtunately

Update 10: It turns out my hearing loss isn’t caused by Eustachian Tube dysfunction after all. I was misdiagnosed by the emergency room doctor. The first steroid shot didn’t show any improvement, although I did notice that I could hear my own voice better. Another doctor gave me a second shot...

You would want to know if your hearing aids are programmable to increase only frequencies where you have hearing loss. For example, I have moderate hearing loss at 4250Hz +/- 250Hz. I would want to increase the volume just in this range. In both ears. I also have catastrophic hearing loss...

Most credible sources will tell you that a few seconds of exposure to sounds in the 80 or even 90 decibel range is harmless to your hearing. I’ve experienced aural fullness, pain, and tinnitus from sounds like that, but I don’t know whether it means I have actual hearing damage. According to...

Hello @Cmspgran . Setback again. What's been occurring? Found anything useful? Patches trialled again?

No.

Out of curiosity, do antihistamines affect your tinnitus? I was told that at low doses, Mirtazapine acts like an antihistamine.

There's no point in cutting and pasting TFI statistics because I'm only focusing on loudness reduction. Also, we don't need hunches, hope, or mystery. We need hard data. One breakthrough in Susan Shore's work lay in the fact that it would finally (as much as possible by today's standards in...

A novel approach? Outside-the-box thinking? Uncovering every last stone? But just wait for the statisticians to sift, sort, and parse it. In my view, since noise damage is clearly and unquestionably the most frequent trigger of tinnitus, maybe tinnitus is the cause of the changes in the gut...

Business, profits, investing, yadda yadda... just get rid of this damned ringing already.

It’s generally not recommended for hyperacusis. However, it can help reduce tinnitus in certain cases.

@EricL, thanks for this info!

Even with perfect earplugs, a 110 dB sound will still feel like about 100 to 105 dB at low frequencies and about 80 to 90 dB in the midrange because of bone conduction. You cannot block more than about 50-60% of perceived loudness with earplugs alone, as bone conduction still prevails...

Hey, I see what you’re trying to argue, but if you take a proper look at the Phase 2 data from Susan Shore’s trial, the picture isn’t nearly as mysterious as you’re making it. The bisensory treatment (auditory and somatosensory) showed a clinically meaningful TFI reduction of about 12 points at...

I’m right there with you. I’m in my 40s, with young kids. During my first few months of tinnitus, I came quite close to ending my life because of days of continuous insomnia. I’m still struggling three years later with depression, anxiety, insomnia, and guilt, but the pull of suicide has faded a...

You’re very similar to me. My life was ruined by an ENT named Pelin Kocdor. I’m only 30. She gave me intravenous Prednisone for mild ear pain and leakage, even though I had no hearing loss. Now I have noxacusis, dysacusis, visual snow syndrome, and terrible tinnitus, all because of her. My life...

are you mild now?

hello how old are you lets go back in time

A loud metallic bang out of nowhere as I was waiting for the train. Even though I was wearing double hearing protection, the incoming spike is sure to be torture. There's no escape from this cycle of agony.

When i yawn i hear metallic sound in my right ear what is it ? i have since 10 months

Dear @billie48, I hope you are doing well. I recently cought Covid again and once more it gave me a big spike and this time I need to adjust a bit more, especially regarding my sleep. There's something I'm wondering about your sleep routine. You have mentioned to me before that you use...
