    NAC May Have Helped My Hearing Loss, Although It Definitely Gave Me High-Frequency Tinnitus

    There’s a lot of fluff in many of these responses, and to be honest, I couldn’t bear to read them all. I’ll keep it short. Your tinnitus will change in the early days, and it usually won’t settle on a baseline for a while. From what I’ve read, you already had tinnitus before taking NAC, so it’s...

    Losing Myself Because of Unbearable Tinnitus

    As the days go by, I lose more and more hope. I want to call this a new tinnitus tone, and it's much more reactive than the previous one. It feels different, sounds different, and reacts differently than the one I've had for the previous 10 months. The only thing I changed in my life was adding...

    Tinnitus That Follows a Sleep-Linked On and Off Pattern: Explanation for Cyclical/Intermittent Tinnitus?

    Mine is a very similar case. It comes on almost exclusively during sleep, and then almost always, whatever I have stays for the day. The pattern is every other day, though lately I sometimes get two bad days in a row or even two good days in a row. When it’s a good day, it’s either barely there...

    2024 US Presidential Election

    I don't know, maybe because there are also high-ranking democrats on that list, along with their mega donors. Go after them all, I say. But let's not kid ourselves here, Trump can be a pedophile, and you MAGA people would still vote for him.

    Acoustic Shock → Misdiagnosis → PPPD: 18 Months of Pain and Finally a Way Out

    Hi @jack8092, I have a question. Were you ill (possibly with Eustachian tube dysfunction or just a stuffy nose), or did your ears feel full when you were training and pulled the headphone rubber tip out? Did you feel like fluid was leaking into your middle ear at the moment you removed the...

    2024 US Presidential Election

    Illegal aliens are here by the millions, thanks to Joe Biden. The far left took over the Democratic Party, needed new voters who would also serve as extremely cheap labor, so they began allowing this to happen. Taxpayers are the ones who pay for it. This is not a cruel country to those who come...

    2024 US Presidential Election

    The Republicans are responsible for the shutdown because they don't have the votes and are trying to pass a funding bill that funds their partisan budget, and the Republicans are refusing to negotiate with the Democrats. It has nothing to do with transgender people or illegal aliens. You have...

    Ear Pain After Accidentally Inserting Finger too Deep into Ear Canal

    2024 US Presidential Election

    Not my side of the pond, but usually in “kiss and tell” rumors involving politicians, one side won’t expose the other because their own politicians are doing the same thing. Of course, in modern times, child sex is a big taboo. The Prince Andrew case is revealing. Allegedly, he befriended...

    So what? That gives them the right to break into homes during the night, arrest children while they’re sleeping, with no warrant and no explanation why? These are just people minding their own lives, trying to survive in a cruel country that once welcomed them. Don’t tell me about what’s...

    Tinnitus Spike and Ear Symptoms After MRI with Contrast

    Unfortunately, the ear pressure is still very much present, banging every time I swallow. The tinnitus is still intensified. I had a very disappointing ENT appointment, so I’m going to look for another doctor to see me as soon as possible.

    Surgery Anxiety: Did Your Tinnitus Stay the Same?

    I underwent surgery on my left wrist and noticed no worsening of my tinnitus. I assume they will give you antibiotics, so you may want to make sure they are not using an ototoxic brand. Opiates can worsen tinnitus. If they give you a lot of morphine pills to take after surgery, nod politely but...

    Tinnitus Spike and Ear Symptoms After MRI with Contrast

    No, I didn’t have what you’re describing. However, I did experience amplified beeping, hissing, and ringing during my spike after the MRI. My usual tone is a baseline ringing with a Morse code-like beeping or chirping overlay. So during the spike, it felt like a full cacophony of new and louder...

    NAC May Have Helped My Hearing Loss, Although It Definitely Gave Me High-Frequency Tinnitus

    It’s crazy how similar your case is to mine. Both of us developed high-frequency tinnitus from sound trauma, and both right after taking NAC. However, my high-frequency tinnitus went down dramatically after I stopped taking NAC. I’m now trying Clinical Sublingual Glutathione in the morning and...

    Update 5: I just got back home from my ENT appointment. I could barely hear what either of the two doctors was saying. Apparently, my eardrum is fine, but there’s a lot of earwax. They also said there’s no more fluid in my ear. I can still hear my own voice. I have an appointment with the...

    Ear Pain After Accidentally Inserting Finger too Deep into Ear Canal

    I stuck my finger in my ear yesterday because I didn’t have time to use earplugs. I think I went too deep into the canal, and now my inner ear is really sore and painful. Has anyone else done this? I’m just wondering how long the discomfort might last. It has happened before, but I’ve forgotten...

    2024 US Presidential Election

    Wouldn't the Democrats have released the Epstein files during Biden's four years in office if they contained evidence that could have ruined Trump's chances of winning the 2024 election? They're pretty boneheaded most of the time, but I doubt they would have missed an opportunity like that.

    Sudden Loud Whistle in a Subway Tunnel — Clogged Feeling in Ear

    Your anxiety and fear response to the sound they made is more likely the cause of the inner ear cramping, as your inner ear muscles tense up in anticipation of the sound. I experience the same thing but have gotten better at managing it by letting go of that fear and anxiety. If something that...

    Yes, she was asked about this, and I believe the first time she referred to the "cross-over" effect was during the Tinnitus Hub Q&A. If you remember, at that time (a couple of years ago), she was asked specifically about the group that underwent the active treatment in weeks 13-18, and how...

    Right-Sided Low-Frequency Tinnitus: Suspected Vascular or Somatic Origin with Vacation-Linked Relief

    Ah, it’s the worst! I’m about six months in. Mine developed after an infection. I don’t care about my high-pitched tinnitus, but this low-pitch noise is brutal.

    It seems to have an effect on quite a few people with hyperacusis, though again not everyone. You'll have to see if you tolerate the molecule well, since its most interesting effects appear mainly at the maximum dose of 200–250 mg. I hope it works for you.
