That's a real tricky one. I honestly don't know what I would do in your situation. Perhaps I'd ask them how likely an actual medical intervention is (brain surgery or whatever). If you go ahead with an MRI, make sure to use double protection. (Properly inserted foam earplugs and ear muffs on...

It turns out that this specific treatment for tinnitus has some history: https://www.tinnitusjournal.com/articles/surgical-method-for-implanted-tinnitus-suppressor.pdf The plans for the device in this study appear essentially identical to those used in the Mayo Clinic and Cochlear trials. But...

There are millions of plants that can be ground into a liquid, there are bird eggs and reptile eggs, there are countless microbes, and there are fungi. Just pour it into the ear, pray, and eventually one is bound to work for curing tinnitus, at least some version of tinnitus. We do not have to...

My tinnitus started in April too, and those first 6 months were hell. It was reactive, I had hyperacusis, and I was hardly sleeping. I started to habituate after the 6th month, but now, for some reason, the tinnitus has changed to a high hissing tone that is reactive and painful. Now I am back...

Hi @Joeseph Stope, nice to read your contributions as normal. I may broadly say that the first group doesn't have hyperacusis, and the 2nd group does. Hi @Robster, how long do your spikes last?

Well, in that case, which I also wrote in my earlier post, an MRI is advisable, as the doctors have recommended. I fully understand your fear of worsening. I have had nothing less than 3 or 4 MRI scans since 2019, with hyperacusis and reactive tinnitus, and I eventually got through them all...

A CT scan is quieter.

How did that affect your tinnitus? I’ve just been diagnosed with a jaw dislocation problem that may have been the cause of my 13 years of miserable tinnitus.

Thanks for all the helpful posts, Michael! I'm curious to know if you have any experience or knowledge regarding the Sound Oasis BST-80-25T. I was looking to start with a slightly lower-cost, more compact device, and this seemed to fit the bill. I saw your discussion of 'Sound Enrichment' in a...

How are you doing today? Did your tinnitus calm down after the firework incident?

I've found that, even though NeuroMed is licensed in many states to prescribe meds, its personnel are all based in California.

My dad gave me this when I last saw him. I wonder what it would do? I'm too nervous to put Lidocaine in my ear, though. Wonder if it would help with the menthol and numbness in my face that I suspect to be originating from nerves in my inner/outer ear.

Hi @RayfromIndiana, I found this "Yes, hydrocodone, particularly at higher doses or with long-term use, has been associated with tinnitus (ringing in the ears) and potential hearing loss. The 20 mg dosage makes it a relevant concern, especially if taken frequently or for an extended period."

Thank you. They do suspect a tumor. They saw it on a CT scan. Based on its appearance, size, and location, they think it is benign and that it has zero effect on any of my symptoms, but they still want me to have an MRI, and I've told them no. I'm devastated because this is my second tumor...
