Hi, I am wondering if there is any new information about the Japanese product called TJ-54 (Yoku-Kan-San). It sounded promising, but has anyone actually used it and had it help with their tinnitus? I am eager to hear from people. Thanks.

Very progressive of the US to pick the gay candidate.

@Nes, you've become more active again, which is good. I believe you being more bothered by tinnitus now is most likely due to two reasons: 1. Since your hyperacusis has gotten better, your perception and awareness of tinnitus are heightened. It does not necessarily mean your tinnitus has...

Funnily enough, the band I saw a week ago was Oasis. Manchester, right? It is frustrating, since both Liam and Noel Gallagher have tinnitus, yet the gig still averaged around 103 dB. You would think these rock stars would know or care. My earplugs were rated at 17 dB. Even if they did not...

It does use radiation. It is basically a series of X-rays, similar to what you would get at the dentist, but taken as many images in a row. There is a very small increase in cancer risk, but I decided I would much rather face that than risk my ears getting worse. Besides, these scans are used...

Thank you so very much, Sonia, for the information. I appreciate you being so kind and offering it. It is helping me support myself, because I am quite lost with this new daily trauma and unsure what to do. I may not get the MRI or CT scan, although my ENT said they will not make any more...

Do you know what a CT scan or MRI might show besides a neuroma? Is there any reason to get one after sound trauma? I saw your profile post asking about when to begin counting your recovery and asking about hyperacusis, but profile responses are limited to 800 characters, so I figured I post...

I got the report from the CT scan I had on Tuesday. It was similar to the report I got last March. Apparently I have a hole in the bone above my left middle ear from what I understand.

The fact that the tinnitus stopped for months at a time is very positive. If it happened once, it can happen again. It also means that at some point it may stop for good. I believe you are currently experiencing a setback, but you are still moving in a positive and forward direction. Keep...

I do not know your specific case, but I can make some recommendations based on my past experience. First, if you are using earplugs in environments that are not loud, I would stop doing that. When I first developed tinnitus, I used earplugs because noises would trigger it, and it made things...

I developed tinnitus in January 2012 at the age of 35. I am not sure how exactly. It happened after I had been playing video games for several hours, although the volume was not loud. My doctor said I had a Eustachian tube blockage because my eardrums were “sucked inward.” For years after that...

Thank you for sharing, Sonia. I may just invest in a pair. Will they work with an iPhone?

Thank you so much for your reply, Scruffiey. I appreciate your advice and the workaround you suggested. My brother said there may be an added health risk with the CT scan. Do you have any thoughts on that? Thanks again. Yes, just a hearing test. It seems that is all they offer, a hearing test...

Hello. Please, if you see this, take a moment to read it. I need help. I'll share my entire tinnitus story here. I'm 20M, and it feels incredibly unfair to deal with this so early in life. I developed tinnitus at the start of April. I was an avid user of ANC headphones and listened to music a...

Can't get enough of that Big Beautiful Bill!

Agree to meet them halfway by suggesting a CT scan with contrast. It is much quieter, while still providing a usable, although not as detailed, image. If they push back, explain firmly that you will find an MRI unbearably loud and that you are concerned about prolonging your symptoms or causing...

I had an acoustic trauma event where I was exposed to a hammer striking metal for about 5 minutes. This put me into a medium tinnitus and hyperacusis situation for about 1 month, after that, my tinnitus was mild enough to be able to cope with. THEN, only 1 day later, I was fixing a 250 watt...

Those dumbass corrupt Democrats:

Is tinnitus common?

Hi @Paulie87, your situation is similar to mine (not exactly in every way, but it reminds me of my own story). You can find my testimony here. I first developed tinnitus in 2012, at the age of twenty-one, in a pub in Manchester. I was wearing earplugs at the event, but I removed them for a few...

I have only just seen this post, @DimLeb, and I hope you have improved. I am currently in a setback and have experienced multiple small sound traumas since the middle of September. I am pretty much homebound with hyperacusis and reactive tinnitus that has become very unstable again. It reacts...

I have never experienced this with any of the three hearing aid brands I have used over the years.

I'm realizing broadband sounds are harder to habituate to than narrowband sounds, at least for me

After hundreds and hundreds of hours of research my unwavering opinion is that tinnitus is NOT caused by hearing damage; it's underlying cause is a neural gating deficit. Hearing damage (amongst other things) may result in lower upstream voltages consequently exposing the deficient gate...

It all makes sense now:

Is it just a hearing test you are getting done? My parents have been encouraging me to go back to the doctor, but I have been refusing because I just do not see what they can do that would be helpful. It seems to be a waiting game. Fortunately, I do not have hyperacusis. I have heard it does...

It’s hard to believe the holiday season is just around the corner and the year is coming to an end…

These are the two I bought...

Thank you, that was very inspiring!

Turns out Dicksucker Donald was just the jealous side chick all along.

Can you explain this contradiction? Are you sure it wasn't going out and being exposed to sound that made your tinnitus worse?

I have been on Clomipramine for almost a decade now, and together with therapy, it has helped me a great deal in accepting my tinnitus. It mainly works because it keeps my OCD under control, so I cannot become preoccupied with tinnitus most of the time. In my case, Clomipramine is supported with...

I agree with this. CBT helped me a little, but things became sustainable when I did Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, which is the latest version of CBT. It is incredibly hard to accept the noise in my ears, and sometimes I still panic, but I learned to go with the flow and accept both the...

Interesting. What I read from a Google search was that medication-induced tinnitus is usually permanent because it reduces blood flow to the inner ear and permanently kills the hair cells there. I have always had a little bit of hiss in my head, but it was only there if I wore noise-cancelling...

Has anyone had any luck with adding vitamin D3, Taurine, Lipoflavonoid, or NAC to their daily regimen? If so, how long to take effect for a positive result?

Hey Sonia, I was just wondering which earbuds you mentioned, the ones where another cuff style pair is used so nothing goes directly into your ear canal and nothing completely covers your ear. That way there is still airflow and ambient sound getting in. I may end up buying a pair of those...

No retest yet, but I am going back to my primary care doctor next week to get a second test done. My ENT said they will not move ahead with me until I get an MRI. Unfortunately, I cannot take any steroids because they make it impossible for me to sleep. So I am just wondering if you have...

Need some encouraging news. I have to hold on to hope. I send prayers that this is the beginning of future treatments that bring relief and an end to suffering for the tinnitus community.

Hi All, I’m going through a very difficult period right now and blaming myself for my current state, even though I truly feel I did everything I could to minimise symptoms while still trying to enjoy life. I’ve had tinnitus since I was twenty two, back in 2009 after a rock concert. I developed...

Hi All, I’ve had tinnitus for about 30 years now. Generally, I wouldn’t call myself a sufferer, because most of the time it hasn’t bothered me, although I’ve had stretches of months when I’ve noticed it more, perhaps spikes. I’m going through a rather strange situation with my tinnitus at the...

It looks like Dr. Carlson’s trial at the Mayo Clinic is complete. Last year, they moved the expected completion date to the middle of next year, but it seems they finished earlier than anticipated. I am eagerly awaiting the results.

Who had "Donald Trump sucked Bill Clinton's dick" on their Epstein files bingo card? Bet he loved that "Big Beautiful Bill".
