that chart is much better than mine. I recently developed ETD and had this huge spike in tinnitus, its horrible. I am praying and have faith everything will change. ETD was likely due to a cold/flue/infection. I took anti-biotics prescribed by ENT, taking anti-allergies and nasal sprays but so...

Hi everyone, Today I took the train to school, and when I got out I had to walk under a small bridge that the train passes over. Just as I walked out from underneath it, the train blasted its horn. I had a dB meter app running on my phone, which showed a maximum of 86 dB at the moment it...

Just 34.

I want to point out from the clinical trials site that this implantation requires general anesthesia.

Do you know how invasive this implant is compared to a cochlear implant? Will any hearing be lost?

All the hearing aids I have tried had built-in tinnitus relief through their Bluetooth app. The aids I have worn had masking features that were subtle and were able to cover the tinnitus sound for the most part. Although these are prescription aids that cost about $6500, I was lucky because I...

One thing that has always helped me is a hot tub or a hot bath. What I currently do is take 1 mg of Klonopin along with 300 mg of Trileptal on days when it is really bad. The combination of hot water and medication can calm me down to about a 2 out of 10 most of the time. Tinnitus can improve...

Good one.

I am 34M with wife and three kids. I have this horrible tinnitus due to ETD, I pray everyday it will go away and have faith something will change, I am under medications but dont expect much. This impacted my life as well, but what really keeps me going is family, being there for my wife and...

@Nesty, Ciprofloxacin? That caused your hearing loss? I had a spinal fusion from L3 to S1 and they gave me Vancomycin powder, even though they knew I already had tinnitus. They did not seem to care. I now have hearing loss and I am adjusting to hearing aids and a new level of tinnitus. 😘

How were you diagnosed with Middle Ear Myoclonus?

Hello, long time but still looking for success stories, do you remember the cause of the tinnitus in your case?

what doses were you taking? supplement oil?

Yesterday was a great day I had almost 0 pain and tinnitus was very low. I over did with digital audio it and today it's spiking badly. I am genuinely fed up with this, my life felt so normal and great yesterday, just for it to be bad again the next day. I don't care if the tinnitus gets worse...

How old are you, may I ask?

how you doing it mate lovely football profile pic you have

I heard there are many complaints about Lenire device to the FDA. You think Dr. Shore's device will be better?

That's it I'm fed up with hyperacusis. Tomorrow I'll ask my psychiatrist to put me on Clomipramine.

They're going to trial our patience ;)

That’s awesome! So they have started already? I am hopeful for Rinri, and that this trial will have good results! Then we will know for sure!

It's the loudness chart from the 6-week pivotal crossover trial. That's one stumbling block with the 6-week crossover trial. Another one is that the control group also exhibited a placebo effect in Treatment 1. To the best of my knowledge, UMich hasn't publicly addressed that fact yet. Just on...

Hi @Nick47, thanks for your response. I am not OP, but a lot of your advice that I've read has been helpful to me. I've also had tinnitus since a young age, 14, with it only getting far worse in the last 3 months. I've been meaning to write my Introduction soon. I do hope you reply there as...

Check my post. I found that ear steroids helped. Then on-ear headphones and silicone over-ear.

There goes another ISSNHL attack. I’m losing my hearing bit by bit. :(

@Yu.3, I believe the overall volume has gotten subjectively quieter. A large part is due to my no longer experiencing spikes, which came naturally with habituation. There are definitely some days when my tinnitus is louder than usual, too, but at this point, it no longer has an emotional effect...

I missed that. What did they say about another trial?

Hey, thanks so much for taking the time to reply. I appreciate it. Please tell me how TRT goes! I'm really hoping yours continues to get quieter and magically vanishes lol. I hate the situation we're in, but gotta have faith and remain positive (easier said than done).

Interesting that the tinnitus resolved: "After 2 months, the patient reported a slight subjective improvement in his hearing, and the tinnitus had resolved."

Thanks for the response. I went to the ENT and everything looked OK. I was told to come back if it is still the same or worse in a week or more. It has been no fun for sure, although it did teach me to respect my hearing a bit more.

Trump's own mortgages reveal the scandal he accused others of doing. In 1993 Trump signed a mortgage for a Palm Beach property and certified that it would be his principal residence. Just seven weeks later, he signed another mortgage for the neighboring home and made the same pledge. Records...

Hello everyone. I am a woman in my 40s who’s dealt with tinnitus for close to 30 years. I’ve had regular tinnitus and occasionally pulsatile tinnitus. I had many ear infections as a child, although I never had tubes. Even as an adult, I’d get ear infections easily (inner and outer), and I...

Another consideration is that some people with ADHD and/or severe anxiety are in constant fight-or-flight mode, where the brain believes tinnitus is a threat/danger. This means the auditory cortex increases its sensitivity, and thus tinnitus is more persistent and intrusive. @ndhtdb, I don't...

Me too, @DebInAustralia.

I agree with @Nick47 and @MindOverMatter. It really depends on what you’ve got and your own tolerances and risk aversions. For example, I had what turned out to be medication-induced tinnitus about 12 years ago in my 20s, along with a brief episode of what I now know to be dyacusis that the...

It would be helpful if they provided more detail

Does anyone have contact with @another_person? I hope they've managed to get some temporary support at least.

Sigh. Another ear problem. My hearing dropped again, but when I plug both ears, my voice sounds the same in both. What is this?

I'm really sorry to hear about your experience but please do not throw money at "miracle cures". If 2 x steroid injections have not cured your SSNHL then I'm afraid you might just have to accept that the hearing loss might be permanent. Tinnitus does not have to be permanent. You may not be...

I really hate how those hearing drop out/tinnitus episodes we've all likely experienced throughout life now last so much longer... Always spikes my anxiety when it lasts longer than 30 seconds that this time it's not going to end. Plus they always make my ear feel crap afterwards now.

I think she's mentioned having them elsewhere on the forum. I believe there are some available medications to address the pain they cause, certainly something worth consulting with the doctor about, along with the ideations. With that Dr. Djalilian article you posted the other week, I wonder if...

Sorry to hear you’ve joined the journey. 60dB is absolutely fine. I’m fairly sure that above 70dB is the point where any damage can occur, and at those low levels, it’s not going to be catastrophic anyway. Still, your ears are going to be a bit sensitive at the moment. Setbacks are common in...

Do you really believe it takes 7-8 years to consolidate the device? In the presentation, they included a further trial requirement.

There really needs to be a more prominent warning on that stuff. They know that it absolutely will melt a cochlea when put in the middle ear, but they keep dishing it out to people freely because, for most people, damage is invisible if it isn't pushing them over the line to where they will...

Noise-induced tinnitus can definitely improve with time. Plenty of cases on here of people improving, even a few years down the track. Keep the faith, my friend.

Ear injections are generally a better choice. They have no systemic side effects, a low risk profile, and the injections aren’t harmful to the ear, so there’s no risk of increasing the tinnitus. It’s worth a shot if you have a provider who has empathy. I’ve taken high-dose oral Prednisone for...

I hate to say this, but both medications spiked my tinnitus. They were taken at separate times. I took Mirtazapine for 8 days. Initially it helped with sleep a lot, but after about 5 days I started having brain zaps, so I stopped it. I reset to baseline after about 2 weeks. Betahistine spiked...

I’ve taken CoQ10 for 3 months before and I swear it worsened my tinnitus. I also took a supplement called SoundBytes that made my tinnitus worse. I’ve never had any supplements do a thing for me. Let me know if you find anything that’s really effective.
