Have you had a hearing test since your second trauma? Did your doctor tell you anything about your prognosis or give you steroids?

@stephenz, sorry to read about your worsening. Of all the medications you listed, only Ibuprofen can cause hearing damage, and even that is usually temporary. Many patients think that because a medication can cause tinnitus, it must have damaged the inner ear. This is not true at all. It may...

Honestly, I do not recall many details. I only remember having a more sensitive auditory system with more reactiveness. It was almost just as bad before the MRI, simply because of the increased anxiety, as it was afterward. The fear of the unknown and not knowing what is coming can elevate your...

Eight-year-olds, dude! I do feel a bit sorry for the guy though. The only person who truly loves and cares about him is President Putin. He even sent him a painting.

Hello everyone. I am a 24-year-old male who recently developed, or began to notice a worsening of, non-somatic tinnitus in mid-October after months of taking many ototoxic painkillers such as Ibuprofen, Tylenol, Gabapentin, and Oxycodone due to a chest surgery. Within two weeks of noticing the...

Hi Sonia. Thank you very much for your reply. Before my brutal blast acoustic trauma, I had already been prescribed something called Mirtazapine (Remeron), which helped me tremendously. I take it when I cannot sleep, although I only take half of a 7.5 mg tablet, so it is a small dose. It can be...

I do not have much energy. Tinnitus has destroyed me. I spent a year in psychiatric wards for depression, and by some miracle, I finally found a medication that worked for me. I was able to go food shopping and go for walks for the first time in so long. But deep down, I was cautious, because...

Thank you so much for the kind advice. I really appreciate it. What did you experience during the six weeks after the MRI?

I have had tinnitus since I was 14, and I am 33 now. Please do not let that frighten anyone. The key to this whole thing is to distract your mind from the noise. I know that is easier said than done. It is so loud and obnoxious, almost like you are stuck in a room with a crying baby. It gets...

Can someone tell me the reason why am i living like a cockroach instead of being happy all the time? And what's the point of living like this if the end is already known?

Yes, I will. Also worth noting I have had almost zero side effects at 80 mg. The goal is to start weaning off next February. Most recently, I started ADHD medication and have only gotten better. To answer a few questions and give an update: I'm continuing to improve. Recently, I went almost 30...
