    I'm definitely in the same boat. At least every 6 months, but it's often every 2-3, something gets worse. Sometimes it calms a bit, but never back to how it was previously—two steps forward, one step back, so to speak. Over the summer I started getting those noxacusis aching and burning sensations.

    Masking always spikes mine. I don't bother with it. Be careful with the volume on those earbuds. It's dangerous territory. You can put something on in background—on a good quality speaker and not headphones/earbuds—at a low volume, not to mask it, but to just give you something else to focus...

    Seven Months After Acoustic Trauma: Tangled Between Progress and Fear

    I’m so sorry you’re going through this too. It’s truly awful, the worst thing I’ve ever been through. I really hope it resolves completely for both of us. For the first six months, I used my Alexa, my cell phone, and my computer for sound support. At night, I would set my phone on the bed about...

    Possible Link Between Root Canal Treatment and Onset of Tinnitus?

    DON'T wear foam earplugs at the dentist. The occlusion effect will amplify drilling noise. Ask the dentist to take a pause every fifth second - insist if necessary. Also, take a hefty dosage of NAC and magnesium before and after. Generally speaking, foam earplugs are a good idea whenever...

    @Cmspgran Interesting. How much Pregabalin do you use? The Gabapentin certainly takes some focus off my condition and reduces stress. When did you drop the Gabapentin? Was the combo still effective over time? I advise you to make an appointment with the GP, tell them you are really struggling...

    Possible Link Between Root Canal Treatment and Onset of Tinnitus?

    Cheers, yeah, that makes a lot of sense. I’ll wear foam earplugs and ask the dentist to keep the drilling time as short as possible. Thankfully, I think (and hope) the bulk of the drilling was done during the first two appointments. I know dentists aren’t tinnitus experts, but I’m hoping mine...

    Tinnitus is unpredictable. It’s not recommended to use earbuds if you have tinnitus. Try other masking methods instead.

    Hello! Im about 7 weeks in from the onset of Tinnitus and Hyperacusis. Yesterday was a "good" day for me and I was able to distract with "ocean sounds" on my earbuds at a level of 12 on the volume. Today is much louder tinnitus and not a good day at all and have to turn my ocean sounds to a...

    Seven Months After Acoustic Trauma: Tangled Between Progress and Fear

    In months two to five, you said you needed constant sound support. Could you please elaborate? I’m a month and a half out from onset and suffering greatly.

    ...of the long haulers here are in the same boat. Like clockwork, new/worse symptoms every 2-3 months for me. But I can deal. This recent worsening though. Brutal. Metal wine glass humming on top of *everything*. No rhyme or reason. Just started out of nowhere. Anyway how ya'll doin. I hate it...

    Can Guanfacine Make Tinnitus Worse?

    A propranolol update: I split a 10 mg pill in half, then half again. One piece ended up around 2 mg, and another around 3 mg. On Sunday, I tried the 2 mg dose and experienced a slight spike, but it was within the range of normal variation that could also be caused by being near a fan or vent...

    I have a pregablin supply but it’s not my own, it’s good for sleep and the next day caring less. Gabapentin with clonazepam was potent combo for me personally it significantly reduced the variability and reactiveness of my tinnitus and the clonazepam dose could be reduced when combined.
