    Feeling Great After 15 Clinical Low-Level Laser Treatments (LLLT)!

    Scotty, can I ask how you are feeling about your laser treatments 5+ years on now? I saw you posting again, and mentioned PRP/stem cell type treatments, so I'm unsure if you felt there was lasting benefit from the laser or were unhappy and seeking out additional treatments.

    Severe Tinnitus Spike After Car Ride and Struggling to Cope

    That’s right. I’ve got Carbamazepine 200 mg twice a day. Seroquel I took 100 mg, and I’m taking another 50 mg. Clonazepam was tapered to 0.25 mg, so I took 2 mg. Pregnenolone 1000 mg. Agomelatine 50 mg, and I just took another 50 mg. I found some cannabis brownie in the fridge. I usually take...

    First Time Caller: Tinnitus from Volleyball Impact, Now Worsened by Plane Pressure

    Just found you guys! Hello! I’ve had tinnitus for almost two years. I was hit very hard on the left ear with a hard volleyball serve. At least I know what caused mine. Had my GP check my ear and was told it looks fine. I just cope with it. Today, however, I flew from TX to FL and watched TV...

    Persistent Tinnitus at 24 Triggered by Post-Surgical Medications (Ibuprofen, Tylenol, Gabapentin, and Oxycodone)

    I have good news regarding my tinnitus. Since reading about ACRN (Acoustic Coordinated Reset Neuromodulation) and using it for about a week, I’ve noticed a significant reduction in my tinnitus volume. Now I can wear ANC headphones and still hear mostly silence. It lowered it from 6 out of 10 to...

    Four Months After Firearm-Induced Acoustic Shock Tinnitus: Am I Having a Spike? Will It Get Better?

    There are 3 tones: the high-pitched cricket sound, the constant, medium-frequency ringing, and something that resembles a broken fan motor. Before the firecracker incident, the medium frequency tone was basically gone. I could only hear the crickets and the broken-down fan sound, but after the...

    English is not my first language. Does it mean that this drug, created to treat Meniere's disease, can also treat tinnitus? And if the FDA approved the product, is it available now?

    Mirtazapine for Insomnia, Depression, and Tinnitus — How Common Is Tinnitus Exacerbation and What Are Your Experiences?

    My tinnitus started after taking an SSRI for only a few days. At first, it was a normal high-pitched ringing, but after switching to a different SSRI, it shifted into an extremely high-pitched hissing that drills into my brain with a physical feeling. Later, I had to try Mirtazapine for sleep...

    Aren't Reactive Tinnitus, Dysacusis, Diplacusis, and Palinacusis Signs of Physical Damage?

    Hmm... that sounds very strange. I've done both brain and jaw MRI scans, and had double protection fitted both times. Combined with the devices that steady the head. Anyhow, best of luck with whatever you choose to do.

    Pulsatile Tinnitus Spike After Hairdryer Exposure at Hairdresser

    OK… on Nov 29, I went to the ER once again. That was just over a month after my first visit. This time, the whooshing was far worse, and my BP climbed to 200/107, up from my normal 130/75. Again, they ran a scan and found nothing. And as I lay in the ER bed, my BP dropped back down to 135/72. I...

    Aren't Reactive Tinnitus, Dysacusis, Diplacusis, and Palinacusis Signs of Physical Damage?

    Thanks, everyone. I was told that I can’t wear earmuffs during the MRI because they won’t fit inside the device that steadies the patient’s head. And there is no way I’d rely on earplugs alone. Even with double protection, I am likely to suffer a very bad setback with permanent worsening. Over...

    A Difficult Week of Ear Pain, Ibuprofen Concern, and Worry about Hearing Loss

    Thank you both. One more concern, which I can’t bring myself to get checked. I had a clear hearing test about 40 hours after the incident, and then I stopped Ibuprofen out of fear of its possible ototoxic effect, as I hadn’t thought to ask the ENT about treating the pain when I saw him at the...

    Cave Man Solutions for Curing Tinnitus

    Ummm... I think the cavemen had it easier. All their time was spent in nature. If they have tinnitus, just go and live by a babbling brook. Or the ocean. Wind, animals, rain, etc, are all very noisy. Focusing on subsistence for survival takes a lot of mental effort and is a good distraction...

    If there is no going back, what could a path forward look like? You can't fix your tinnitus. What can you do? These are the kind of questions I ask myself to keep going. Usually, there are lots of things I can come up with that are related not to the past but to the future.

    Electrical Stimulation of the Cochlea for Treatment of Chronic Disabling Tinnitus

    It's maddening to think that we've had a potential intervention available for so long and no one has done anything with it. That's why I've donated multiple times to Tinnitus Quest and will keep doing so--we can't let another 30 years go by like the last.
