The election-interference case in Fulton County, Georgia, against President Trump and the remaining co-defendants has been dismissed after the prosecutor who took over the case requested that it be dropped. In January 2024, Fani Willis, who started the case, was dropped after defense attorneys...

I may get flooded with responses, and I actually hope so. Do any of you have Kaiser as your health provider? If yes, I’d love to hear your experience with how well or how poorly Kaiser handles your case. I actually filed a grievance with Kaiser that they never responded to, asking what they do...

Very slowly. Remember that the spike from your daughter whispering was nowhere near enough to cause actual damage. The spikes will fade with time and normal sound exposure. But yes, I know what it’s like. It’s not fun. But there is hope. It’s going to take time, though.

Don’t worry about the Ibuprofen. Almost every medication in the world has tinnitus listed as a reported side effect. They might as well include people who were struck by lightning after taking the pill.

They figured out that they were sloppy with the electrode placement on patient 2, so their theory is that this caused the worsening. I’m going to wait for the results of a wider study before writing this off.

I'm stopping by to wish my fellow Americans a relaxing, quiet Thanksgiving tomorrow. I hope you see, smell, taste, and touch things that bring you joy.

Sorry to hear that you're going through a bad patch, @El BUZZ. My tinnitus has gone into a spike too from a succession of events. It's hard to say exactly what caused it. A smoke alarm going off in the room Getting my flu and COVID jabs for the winter Going to the dentist who wanted to clean...

Link? If you have one.

Teams and Google Meet have a function called Subtitles. Zoom should have it as well. You can have the volume on zero while reading what people are saying. (I started to use the function to avoid noise accidents during video meetings.)

+1. It would be great to get an update on this. I’m surprised it hasn’t been more widely discussed.

A little energy-bending from ATLA's Lion Turtle would surely cure my T

Hi @El BUZZ, from my own experience I know that an emotional factor plays a real role in the perception of tinnitus and in the ability to habituate. When I first got tinnitus 2.5 years ago, I became deeply depressed. I got better over time thanks to antidepressants, CBT, changing my reactions...

If I understand correctly, their research is currently focused on preserving the hearing you have, improving clarity, and adding some decibels. Outer hair cells are responsible for clarity and can enhance sound by about 40 to 60 dB by targeting those cells. If it works, it will be administered...

Hi @Paulie87, Clonazepam is well known to reduce tinnitus and hyperacusis for many. Diazepam only seems to reduce the anxiety. I woke up with mine screaming. When I went to bed it was much quieter and softer. @MindOverMatter, did you notice the same in a setback? Waking up with it screaming...

So I saw my ENT today. As many have said, they don’t have a lot to add; however, he’s a neurotologist, so he’s at the top of the field. He no longer believes Meniere’s is playing a role in my case due to all tests being negative, with no hearing loss or hydrops on the MRI. He also added that...

Hey there, @Pen Walker! How are you? It is great to hear from you and I hope you are doing fine. Yes, I saw an ENT and they did a hearing test, and it has not changed in the last 5 years. The cut in frequencies is still the same. Yes, I definitely have hyperacusis, and my tinnitus has gone from...

Bumping this, it has been 3 years. I am thinking of doing this procedure myself. Does anyone have more feedback or experiences with it? They said they do this procedure weekly for people. It is wild that only 4 or 5 people here can speak about it.

My tinnitus is through the roof after getting a neck ultrasound I don't understand how the test only lasted for 10 to 15 seconds and there was no noise

just wanna smoke weed and make music... what's stopping me? oh yea this brain piercing sound

Sorry @Nick47, you come across as very warm online and I’m sure I misread you. I appreciate you not wanting me to throw money at charlatans. For what it’s worth, I saw my trusted local dentist and he implied the same. He told me it may or may not be related, but he wants a 2nd opinion from a...

Thank you for your well-considered thoughts. As I wrote, I feel that I may have been seeing things that were not actually there. No one is to blame for any of this. I just get really hurt by the thought that I should have somehow known, after 15 years of zero noise-induced setbacks, that a...

Hi there! I developed tinnitus 10 years ago after a childhood plagued with otitis and a life of abusing loud music through headphones, along with an acoustic trauma. I have a 60 dB loss at 8 kHz. I navigated these 10 years reasonably well, with some spikes here and there that always resolved...

I'm in a similar predicament. Did yours resolve?

I noticed they still have Acou082 in the preclinical stage. It’s indicated for age-related hearing loss and chronic hearing loss. I’m getting the impression that this is meant to slow progression rather than regenerate, although I’m open to hearing otherwise. https://www.acousia.com/

@Regis, always interested in a perspective. Did you have symptoms of hyperacusis, like loudness, sound-reactive tinnitus, or pain?

Hi @Paulie87, it may be the way I come across. I’ve been desperately struggling for three weeks now, and I think it affects my compassion in strange ways. I’m also very pragmatic. I didn’t want you handing over money to charlatans, like chiropractors, masseurs, dentists, and others, believing...

I am real. It helped me.

…and when did I ever say that? In fact, I believe I've said almost the opposite. You asked for advice from someone who's actually been through the same experience. What's happened has happened. It can't be undone. There's no purpose in blaming yourself for what occurred, or blaming others as...

Thank you very much for bringing this incredible study to my attention. After reading the published paper in Nature and several success stories with ACRN, I am hoping to try it soon. In the meantime, I am wondering why this treatment is not mentioned more frequently as an option for tinnitus...

Hi, I’m sorry about this @MindOverMatter and @Nick47. I don’t know if it’s the high-dose Prednisone I’ve been on for a week now, or thoughtless comments from outside this forum, but I really felt upset reading the way you both speak to others compared to how you reply to me here. I sense an...

I hope POTS. Dysautonomia is included in that, too.

Did you wear hearing protection to the concert you went to in 2019? What keeps repeating in my mind is that I did use hearing protection, yet I still experienced worsening. Someone even compared his drug abuse to me being foolish for attending the concert with ear protection. That comment...

...that six Democratic Congressmen recently made. Secretary of War Pete Hegseth simply stated that they have stage 4 TDS. Former Democrat: "I am f*cking done with the Democratic Party. You guys are psychotic. I've been a Democrat my entire life. I am 43 years old and I've never been more...

President Dementia is having more and more trouble keeping up the veil of vim and vigor. Evil consumes itself eventually, and he is now cannibalizing MAGA day by day to stay atop the trash heap and keep his grift going. But the rats are gathering. What an embarrassing and dishonorable...

Lol, you can't be real.

I'm sorry to hear that mate, have you tried Tinnitus Retraining Therapy?

Dear @xajattara, I can only add that time is a key factor in habituation to tinnitus. Except for taking Steroids in the early days after acoustic trauma, there is not any medical intervention that can be applied. It also usually takes some time for habituation to take effect. In my case, it took...

I have one thing to say to you. I am 77 years young, a Vietnam man. One thing I can clearly see in you is that you have absolutely no respect for anyone on this site. Your main goal seems to be to belittle anyone who does not go along with your warped thinking. Because they are born into a...

@kingsfan, does that mean I’m still at risk of hearing loss? My family keeps telling me to stop panicking since the ENT saw no hearing loss about 40 hours after the noise exposure. I’ve acquired NAC and taken one. Although the herbalist shop scared me a bit, since I’m also on Sertraline...

If I am correct, the (just released) scientific publication is here. I will remain cautious because of the result of the patient 2: - his TFI worsened a lot (from 65 to 81) due to the active period, - his TFI worsened on the whole (from 65 to 71).

I am sorry to hear it... I live in Poznan. And you?

I've been digging into this for a few weeks and have now exchanged several emails directly with Prof. Susan Shore. Below is the only conclusion that survives both the published graph and her personal replies. 1. What the graph (eFigure 5) actually shows – approx measured, not exact: Group 1...

@Paulie87, have you got any Clonazepam to take the edge off?

Heads up: Why NAC can increase histamine NAC is a precursor to glutathione (GSH). As glutathione levels rise, NAC also increases cysteine levels in the blood. Cysteine has two important effects: It can stimulate mast cells → leading to a release of histamine. It increases DAO enzyme demand →...

I am very familiar with everything you mention here, because I had stable tinnitus for about 15 years before it worsened after a live concert in 2019. Everything changed after that, including reactivity, increased loudness of the tinnitus, and hyperacusis. I had to adapt as well, and I have...

Looks better? Or turns you on?

I think the main problem after an acoustic trauma is how fragile our hearing becomes. I used to light firecrackers as a kid without a care, but today a firecracker went off about 3 meters to my right, and I am genuinely scared for my hearing and for my tinnitus. I have an app for hearing tests...

Excitotoxicity lasts 1-2 days and oxidative stress 7-10 days, possibly even longer. Just start taking it whenever you can, maybe add some magnesium and other vitamins to eliminate post-traumatic stress disorder. Role of Oxidative Stress in Sensorineural Hearing Loss Hearing Loss and Oxidative...

I'm taking NAC 600 mg daily, and it hasn't spiked my tinnitus. I am finding that my tolerance for louder sounds has slightly improved. No idea if it's related to NAC or not, though.

16 years for me, with 8 years of a Meniere's diagnosis. I was 22 when I got this. I'm not going to lie and say it's all been horrible, it hasn't as I've had long stretches where things are better, However I've had a more difficult life than many at my age (Wife suddenly diagnosed with a brain...

I thought you got used to it already and it wasn't as severe as before.

Three years later and the same thing has started happening again, for the last two weeks. Tinnitus is one mad, unpredictable monster at times.
