I do. You nave noise-induced tinnitus and you have tension-induced tinnitus. Different things. But even if your tinnitus is mostly caused by noise, it can be worsened by tensions. (I am not good at the scientific stuff, so I simply choose to believe anecdotic experiences from people here at...

I hate getting rides in unfamiliar cars. One time I broke down on the highway and had to sit in the tow truck to fill out paperwork since it was dark and cold out. Just the idle engine rumble was too much for me, even with earplugs and earmuffs. I ended up calling for a different ride home.

Are you thinking the car engine's low frequencies were to blame for the spike? Car/vehicle low frequencies are tricky, as you mention, sometimes overprotecting is worse, as you trap all the vibration in your ears. I've made that mistake myself a number of times. Overall, I don't imagine 10...

Woah, woah, woah. That is a lot of medication. Is cannabis necessary with all that? Wouldn't the Carbamazepine and upping the Clonazepam to 1 mg be sufficient? Not sure about all those hormones.

do you mean you don’t wanna live like posting/checking on the forum all the time or do you mean giving up completely aka deleting yourself?

@Nick47, I believe this has one of the best chances of helping us find relief. Tinnitus is heavily influenced by plasticity, so I think repeated treatments might lead to permanent improvement. In this paper, 40 seconds gave them up to 2 hours of change, so why wouldn’t 30 minutes to 1 hour...

@Alberte, some people feel like this can help tinnitus or, at the very least, keep it from getting worse. The company's CEO also believes it can help with tinnitus. The FDA hasn't approved it, but they gave it the fastest track, so hopefully it will be on the market sooner rather than later.

I saw the video with Jeff Teräväinen. I thought it was amazing, and it's great to see Tinnitus Quest growing. We as a community have always had a hard time getting celebs to talk about tinnitus, but that seems to be changing. I'm sure Tinnitus Quest will only get bigger and bigger with time.

So this must be before he decided to bronze-up then? He looks very uncomfortable!

The effects on tinnitus, if any, are uncertain. FDA has decided to give the drug a special treatment, but no approval yet.

I am no FDA process expert (several on Tinnitus Talk are, I believe), but the press release mentions the pharmaceutical company next needing to prepare and file an “NDA”, or New Drug Application, meaning they have some procedures/approvals still to come before the new drug is approved for patients.

Glad to hear you're doing well. And yes, a little age drop from the local pharmacist is always nice!

Just to clear this up. This can reduce tinnitus only in those with Meniere's disease. Tinnitus caused by Meniere's is exacerbated by sudden bouts of hearing loss and vertigo. It is not effective in chronic tinnitus without Meniere's. As I understand it, it has been designated some sort of fast...

Do you normally use this combination of protection?

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.

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...

Were your friends at the pub wearing earplugs?

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...

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...

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?

Great news! Good to see the FDA is paying attention.

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...

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.

Can’t you reverse engineer it through ChatGPT?

Heavenly Father, I come before you with a heart full of gratitude for answering my prayer. Thank you for your faithfulness.

@object16, I'm in week 5 of a setback, and it is frightening. You use Clonazepam, so just vary the dosage a little to help you through, maybe? I think you have Carbamazepine as well?

@Badger55, how many times a week did you use Clonazepam, and at what doses?

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...

This thread has gotten a bit confusing, so I just re-read it to try to understand where we are regarding the various ongoing and completed trials. The Matthew Carlson trial that the OP originally referenced was completed, and all 22 participants experienced positive results. It seems, however...

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...

...with a stick shift and was basically lugging the engine. I've already got years of tinnitus, low-frequency hypersensitivity, on the verge of un******* myself. I was wearing a noise-cancelling headset and musician-type protectors combined, except that low frequencies are extremely difficult...

Hi UKBloke, I hope you are keeping well. My tinnitus hasn't spiked for over 25 years. As you know, I have noise-induced tinnitus that I have successfully managed for many years. Unfortunately, in February 2024, the tinnitus increased considerably and became unilateral, affecting only my right...

What about Donny the orange clown? Doesn't he want to start a war there?

Michael, I have listened to a couple of Ben Thompson's videos, and he makes good sense to me about how one has to adjust one's response/emotional reaction to sounds. Peter

Is it even possible to listen to music at low volume via earbuds and NOT worsen your tinnitus?

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...

First of all, congratulations on your newborn! Grief is a part of this process, and an unavoidable one. It takes time to accept. And yes, it can be a lonely condition at times. That’s why I personally went to counseling for 5 years, though only sporadically during the last 3. It’s not enough to...

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...

My tinnitus faded a bit around the 5-month mark. Keep hope alive. It can get quieter. Stay strong!

Ah, my heart breaks for you. What should be the most exciting time in your life just isn’t. And all of us completely understand why. I’m increasingly realizing why people say “stay busy.” I recently had my parents visiting from overseas for a week. For that whole week we were out, active, and...

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.

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.

Having an incredibly hard time three weeks postpartum, and while I wish I could blame everything on the massive hormonal shift, the truth is this depressed feeling isn’t just the baby blues or postpartum depression. It’s grief. I’m grieving. For the last 10 months that I’ve lived with tinnitus...

Anywhere from a couple of days to 5-6 weeks.

Most likely @Zugzug is the only one with access to the original file, and as you pointed out, he hasn't been active for years. You may need to start a new spreadsheet from scratch. That is, unless an administrator or moderator here can scrub XenForo (the forum platform that Tinnitus Talk is...

Hi everyone, this is my first time posting here and I’d love to get your opinions. I’ve officially reached the 3-month stage of having tinnitus from a single loud bang caused by a tyre popping. For the first month and a bit, I had regular ear discomfort and a sense of fullness, but that’s faded...

We could ask him directly. As it turns out, I know just the guy for the job.
