So you want every member to keep a diary documenting their struggles, and you, the self-appointed gatekeeper, will determine their legitimacy? To be honest, your replies are so disappointing and misguided that I cannot feel anything other than contempt for you.

Hell yeah! As a photographer I love this, what did you buy?

I forgot to mention it was Ashwagandha with KSM66.

I'm sorry to hear this, mate. Mine was like that too (I even had the Morse code sounds), but it did get better over a period of 18 months. I know it's really hard right now, and every day feels like a struggle, but remember that now isn't forever, and there is every possibility of things...

Spot on. You allow it to be there; the goal is to create a way not to respond emotionally to it. For me, it was, and can still be, "I hear my tinnitus, but I'm doing [insert what you want to do]." I acknowledge it and move on without judgment, and over time, the periods of doing this grow longer.

Spot on.

I guess the question is, what are you hoping to get out of this?

This is a pretty mature post from a well-adjusted individual.

This is the problem with forums. @2049v may read your post, and it won't help him mentally at all. I know it didn't me and took me down a very dark hole. Your reality may not be his. All I'm trying to say is that tinnitus can improve, especially during the early stages, and that you should give...

You'll get to a better place with this. I think anyone who experiences severe tinnitus has these thoughts to a degree, especially "How am I going to live like this." I'd give it at least 12 months before I'd do something rash. It took me 18 months for my brain to get bored of the sound, and the...

Literally this.

This is a really well-written success story. I'm glad you're in a better place with it. Just a question: After reading this, it seems like you still "have" tinnitus but don't "suffer" from it. For me personally, reactive tinnitus had me housebound and pretty much incapacitated, whereas now my...

Hi, I’ve had really awful reactive tinnitus that spiked and fluctuated after both of my bouts with tinnitus, following 17 years of mild tinnitus. The first spike, after my initial infection, took 18 months to calm down. The second spike, after the second infection, took a few weeks. I...

@Michael Leigh sits in the sound exposure camp, and @Travis Henry sits in the opposite camp. For newcomers, the journey is to work out which side of the fence they feel will help them the most.

Exactly. If anything, you'll be seen as an edgy, progressive diversity hire because of your ink. Could you develop a nice hand-drawn style and do the graphic design that way? Here's an example: https://joelpringle.com.au

Yeah, it's part of my holy trinity of supplements to help with inflammation. My bad, it's actually called "CurcuBrain."

Focus on that, and control your emotions.

So you're struggling with getting to a place of accepting that you're living with tinnitus? These days, if I'm having the odd bad day (I have/had very reactive fluctuating tinnitus), I know it's a bothersome day. I cannot control my tinnitus at present, but what I can control is what I eat, how...

If you could cover it with rain videos, it probably wasn't that bad to begin with. I'm sorry, it's more intrusive now. Look up "Dale Snale" on YouTube and find a high-frequency masking video that you can use until things settle.

What happened in February to increase the tinnitus, if you don't mind me asking?

Yep! I take a tablet, and about 10 minutes later, I'm out. No problem!

It's unreal! 7.5 mg - 15 mg for sleep/antihistamine and 30-40 mg for depression. I use it off-label maybe once a month if I have a bad night; it works every time.

I used to be a band photographer, so I was exposed to a lot of sound; I always felt like those super small venues that were totally enclosed were by far the worst soundwise. Have you got strong custom moulded earplugs?

Yeah, I understand your point about this thread being a space to be free to say what you want without judgement and I actually agree. My bad, I think I'll just use the ignore button for @Travis Henry so I don't have to see his nonsensical NPC ramblings, something I should have excercised...

Tinnitus & hyperacusis ruined my life for 18 months. I feel as if I do offer a lot of support to people on here. You are right, but I can try to be more compassionate to people. People can handle the truth, but the nonsense you spread isn't anything close to it.

I'm glad you're seeing positives from this. It's insane actually to say this, but my severe tinnitus has actually IMPROVED my life somewhat. Just off the top of my head, it: Made me more compassionate towards others Taught me more about my hearing and the dangers of loud noise exposure Made me...

This is spot on and should probably be the gold standard of general advice for tinnitus and hyperacusis. Well said, @Cmspgran.

Yes. Ashwagandha is like Lion's Mane in that it has to be a really good quality form to have an effect. It does reduce anxiety, and it would be the first thing I'd try for anxiety before anything else.

The classic line right there. But it actually is. Anyway, why don't you focus your anger on the Moderna COVID-19 vaccines since it was actually the cause of your tinnitus worsening? Why don't you raise awareness against the dangers of vaccines like you do noise?

Keep gaslighting and preaching bullshit.

To be fair, all @Travis Henry would have to say when posting is “in my case” or “for me” to imply it’s anecdotal evidence rather than a blanket fact. E.g., “for me, time, no meds and quiet help the most.” instead of: “All meds are poison!!! Everyone pushed me over!!! Tinnitus Talk members...

Hi Bella, I just wanted to say I hope life’s giving you some small wins and things are improving

I’d read the Lenire User Experiences thread very carefully before I went forward with it.

100%. I could not have put this better myself. I'm glad you're so much more articulate than I ever could be. His dickhead mate Nate Repke is exactly the same. @Travis Henry was 38 years old when he got the vaccine, yet blames everyone else for forcing it on him. He then blames medications and...

You can blame the tag team of Neil Bauman and @Travis Henry for that.

I agree. Mirtazapine is unreal. 7.5 mg knocked me out when I went through my spike.

I wish I had the answer for you, brother; I really do. I had two bouts of hyperacusis in the last 18 months; it was when I was at my most anxious; it seemed like my brain turned up my sensitivity to sounds; I was legit jumping at noises. When I got on top of the anxiety, it got better. I’m...

Spot on! Tinnitus is less bothersome when we are immersed in something. It's about having thoughts other than tinnitus on your mind and not letting tinnitus define you or be all that's on your mind all day, as hard as that is to put into practice. Sound therapy is calming, and we need to find...

Many meds, even OTC ones, don't make tinnitus worse or cause it.

I don't know about that.

Hi mate, I just want to say either your tinnitus will get better, or you'll get so much better at dealing with it that it won't ever be a problem. I know it's really stressful at the moment, but working from home is good to help the ears recover. Dale Snale's tinnitus masking on YouTube is a...

Okay, i've got some horrors for you to watch! 1. Influencer 2. A knock at the cabin 3.Barbarian I loved them all.

Doesn’t the “f” stand for “fucking quiet”?

It’s a big and exciting year for mice with tinnitus.
