Went hunting with my brother, forgot to wear earplugs. Had symptoms ever since. Maybe fired a dozen shots or so from a 12 gauge. He's fired hundreds in his lifetime and has no T or hyperacusis. 3 sounds in right ear; constant high pitched tone (around 8k, I can feel it when I yawn it becomes...

Thank you for the detailed post. I am 99% sure my hyperacusis and tinnitus are both from overexposure to noise. My dilemma is that from what I've read both TMJ and hyperacusis can have very similar symptoms. I guess I would have to try to treat the TMJ first since it actually has more active...

@Diesel, I agree with the OHC theory. It's the one I most want to be true but regarding noxacusis as a result of acoustic shock, I'm going to expand on it a bit. I also agree that acoustic shock causes NIHL at a rapid pace, but I believe acoustic shock causes far more damage than just NIHL. I...

This is what I am sort of guessing and hopefully the future may be this (which is of course hopeful speculation): - Neuromod will be released. The results will echo what’s been achieved in the trials. Not everyone will benefit and some people may benefit more. - This will open doors to test...

Thank you, everyone. Trying to hang in, and I thought I was getting there until Sunday incident when playing the tone generator to see if I hear high frequencies (15 kHz!). I sure do, but on unsafe levels, so I damaged my hearing further. I can't believe I did this. There is even a warning on...

Don't ever lose hope my friend! I understand just how hard your ordeal is, I have lived it and still do. Tinnitus can pin us into a corner that is just horrible. It takes strength and lots of it to face it and move forward with our lives. It's all about making choices that will impact our lives...

Hi PeteJ. I felt the need to give you some much needed words of encouragement. I know how you feel. Frankly, I'm in no position to help anyone as it feels like I'm really dangling above the abyss and the rope is about to snap. I'm currently in a dire situation, much like yourself. But I wanted...

Pretty good questions! But, quite complicated for what will be mostly quick and time-limited interview sessions. Quite unlikely that all of these can be answered during the sessions. It may be that we invite researchers to answer some of these at a later date. Additionally, next to each of your...

I find the appearance of any type of hyperacusis, or the complete lack thereof, after an acoustic trauma confusing. Some with an acoustic shock or trauma get no hyperacusis at all and some get it horrifically, yet those without can still have horrific tinnitus. Either way, I hope that by fixing...

Hi @JohnSmith117 -- I read the book years ago, and agree with you that it's excellent. Though I have not reached a degree of habituation that apparently is possible for some, I also agree that the main message of the book can provide a lot of hope and potential for tinnitus suffererers...

The Association for Research in Otolaryngology (ARO) will hold its annual meeting February 20-24, 2016 in San Diego, California. The attached PDF document contains all the abstracts for the conference. While it is rather overwhelming - nearly 700 pages - you can do word searches to find...

American here. Just wanted to chime in - I wholeheartedly agree our medical practioners are knudknicks. That's with everything, not just tinnitus. They have no idea how to treat anything and have lackluster non-investigative minds. All they do is prescribe drugs that get them kickbacks...

I have read all your stories here on Tinnitus Talk over the past 2 months and decided it’s time to tell mine. I have encountered such compassion and understanding here, along with wonderful resources, advice, and personal experiences that people have shared over the years. I guess I’m in need of...

Yes, but isn't the point here that the hearing loss, in this case conductive, gave rise to the neurons changing their signaling? And aren't neurons thought to be involved in Tinnitus generation (hyperactive neurons)? Both conductive and sensorineural hearing loss result in a reduction of input...

Hello Everyone, I've had noise induced tinnitus for 12 years. I have been drumming since the age of 4 and believe that the cumulative effect of playing for so many years is what led to my tinnitus and hearing loss at a young age. Also playing without hearing protection for so long. I also...

I agree that these guidelines might be true for the majority but severe sufferers are left out. It might be on purpose not to induce anxiety. We all know that getting tinnitus, even a mild version, can come with a host of psychological side effects and can send people into a tailspin. It's hard...

Well said. Some of us have tried treatments/measures that have temporarily increased T or added tones. Would this therapy be capable of such a thing? I have a feeling I know what you are going to say, but hey.... had to ask! ;)

Hi @Orions Pain - Welcome to the forum and sorry to hear about your tinnitus and accompanying problems with it. With the exception of your dental/orthodontic history, your progression sounds similar to mine and mirrors a lot of what I went thru during summer and fall 2019. My tinnitus started...

Danny Boy, even if it is legal, so actively encouraging people to get their hands on drugs that do have serious, serious potential side effects - even if they have worked amazingly well for you, it probably not the best idea. Ideally, any drug use should be monitored with someone by their...

Perhaps this is wishful thinking, but I'm not convinced that once the fibres are activated then that is it. Without a doubt, cochlea damage has an element of permanence about it (at least until regenerative medicine hits the market), but from my little understanding of molecular biology and...

I've been meaning to start this thread for a very long time now, but whenever I get the energy to make it happen it always slips my mind. But here I am today, finally doing this. It is a very dear subject to me, as I feel like the potential importance or impact of this area of research is highly...

rt. OK, I get you I think, though still a bit confused by... "Drug-induced silence, in other words." Also, I can't see any other options than rigorous isolation to avoid any sound "Oooooops'es" in the outside world. Hence my 'fishing' for ideas on that problema...If indeed a ramp up beyond 600...

Hello everyone! Sorry for long post and my English (which is not my first language). If you don't want to read full story just skip to the bottom part. In September last year one day after returning from work I've noticed that my mild tinnitus which I have as long as I remember has got more...

Sorry I did not reply to your earlier post, I haven't been checking the forum as much lately. You inspire me to keep going, just hang in there while I bring down the scammers. Eventually things might really work out of us, and we can't call it quits until we atleast try to change the status quo.

Do you have the ability to change doctors?

That's one long message. Anyway, I may have been on trobalt for 8 months, but personally, I have to say, if I didn't I would've been dead...I never had normal tinnitus that's for sure it was too loud, so loud that I could hear it outside over everything and it was always there...Now I can't hear...

From memory, you have lyme? Can this in itself not be associated with tinnitus/hearing issues/hyperacusis? I dont know the dose, but I know Glynis takes noratryptaline and has said that this gets rid of her head noise. I have read ancedotal reports of others, who blame their t on ADS, so I am...

"The SV2A, a presynaptic vesicle protein, was thought to be involved in synaptic vesicle exocytosis and neurotransmitter release (45). Several studies have demonstrated that the synaptic vesicle protein 2A (SV2A), a presynaptic vesicle protein, is the binding site of LEV in the brain, with which...

Hi @Christian78 - good to hear from you again. About LLLT, or any other therapy in the broadest sense, it is difficult for me to suggest anything as there are - as we all know - no proven mass-market intervention/drug/therapy that works towards the reduction of symptoms of tinnitus. So it would...

Ebselen is not strictly an "anti-inflammatory drug" and, even in that capacity, it is not anti-inflammatory in the way anti-inflammatory drugs usually are (i.e. primarily affect chemotaxis and migration of neutrophils and vascular permeability). Actually, Ebselen may have some direct effects on...

Autifony are around the corner, so within a few years, we'd have treatments. We have trobalt now, which I used and am cured...Also got rid of hyperacusis with keppra and trobalt combination. So this proves it is possible to treat either condition. I think many conditions there are drugs out...

I would give it some time. In fall of 2019, I started taking Curcumin and CBD and had a huge upswing. I thought I found the trick to treating my hyperacusis. Since then though, I have been unable to generate anything positive. I do like CBD in that it helps with anxiety, but it's certainly not a...

Thank you so much for all the replies and encouraging compassionate posts knowing that there are so many good-hearted people like you who suffer themselves, but still find time to help and care about the fellow human being and sufferer they don't know makes it a lot more bearable to deal with...

Artazanasss You're one cool guy, I am glad your feeling calmer. The SSRIs are funny things, and you need a good doctor who can adjust accordingly if they are not working. Be pro active on that. Make sure to do fitness and drink lots of water. We all suffer in our own ways sadly, I am sorry you...

> Been thinking 24/7 in this "head momentary hypertensions syndrome" triggered usually by cochlear damage that @Greg Sacramento and just a fellow researchers he has met have built, and how to work from it in my case and I believe I now fully understand it -and many people on Tinnitus Talk would...

TRI Regensburg 2018 Conference Report Day 2 Another walk through the park, which is good because I ate a bit too much at breakfast. In y defence I’m used to eating every 3 hours so I’m kind of loading up on food at each sitting. Morning Session The first keynote of the day was from...

Have you tried a private doctor? My doctor is private, he is willing to sit and listen, he is very open to ideas regarding alternative treatments. Maybe the public system is more strict in their guidelines and have to follow a standard process?

Yikes, this thread is going in directions none of us envisioned! To @dr-nagler and anybody else interested: The reason I consider Retigabine to be a viable potential treatment is a combination of research into voltage-gated potassium channels and their potential effects, comparison to...

Hello fellow sufferers, At the end of January, after taking a shower, I noticed that my right ear was plugged or full. I didn’t think much of this and shook my head to remove the water from the ear, but that did not work. Then I used some ear drops, because I thought it was ear wax that I...

I couldn't agree more @serendipity1996. Ideally it would be fixed with a fully regenerative treatment. I was thinking the same thing today, its all good and well that say RL-81 now means no more noxacusis but what if there are nasty side effects for life from it? (I'd like to think that if I...

Anna... Good morning! (Well here in California) and thank you for your good wishes - I sure need them. Anyway, you comment: "Reading your post just made my tinnitus of little less worse!"...Yes, I understand that and indeed I am sorry. However, there is another way to look at this in a positive...

Thanks for the excellent summary of Ebselen. Apologies if this has already been answered, but for those who want to try Ebselen, is it available? If so, where can I get it please?

One of the things that has been playing on my mind @100Hz for a while now is your post from another thread, which I will repeat again here as I still haven't had anyone else's thoughts on this: "Likewise, measured ex vivo, synaptic excitation is weak and could activate type II afferents only if...

FX-322 just broke my heart, but I'm already in love again. I have to give myself time and resist the urge to get into a new hearing drug relationship too soon off the rebound.

Where did you buy your laser please? Thank you!

My dad did get his hip done. Definitely doesn't have any issues with walking, with moving or any pain problems whatsoever and this was done almost 20 years ago. As a result I think that it is fairly reasonable to conclude that there totally could be a situation where if you correct an injury it...

Thanks again everybody for further comments and questions. As previously, please find a list of replies to specific points and questions below: Sudden vs. gradual onset hearing loss and risk of tinnitus development: I think it is likely that, even if these are of the same amount, sudden hearing...

After the flurry of activity recently around political lobbying in the UK for more tinnitus research funding during Tinnitus Week, we now have an opportunity to put tinnitus on the political agenda in the US as well. The National Institute on Deafness and Other Communication Disorders (NIDCD)...

I have been meaning to start a thread for those who have had the am101 treatment for the past couple of weeks now. I regret not having done so. I feel like these posts will become lost in this huge thread. I'm still happy you guys posted though and shared your experiences. I have a few questions...

Please, give me everything you got. I'm desperate. Each day since I was in the last psych ward and on the antidepressant is worse than the last, I'm afraid I'm going to kill myself soon. I tried just a little bit of 5htp and L-Theanine last night, thinking maybe I could get the "good" feeling...

I think you should go on Guinness Book of World Records. You have tried more than all of us put together. Well done.

Which Konfec laser did you recommend that I buy? The 15 commercial laser treatments I did in Florida helped me a lot. It took me from 9 to a 2 I would say. I still have spikes after I work out, ride my loud motorcycle etc but it relaxes within a hour or so back down to normal levels. I want...

DISCLAIMER: This post is not medical advice. Please consult your doctor before trying any of the alternative treatments mentioned here. I will not be held responsible for any damages, physical or otherwise, resulting from anybody trying these treatments. I thought about not writing a success...

Thank you for sharing your story. It brings me joy knowing that you've managed to overcome your affliction with your own efforts, and sparks confidence that I and others can do the same. I had one question in particular for you regarding supplementation only (because my case is not as severe as...

tldr ; Hyperacusis in left ear around 70 dB and higher. ENT's clueless. I am ready for any procedure even if it risks losing all hearing in my left ear. What's up everyone! I just discovered this forum and decided to join to see if I could maybe find some ideas for the ear predicament that I've...

Hectic day preparing for conference and reading our annual research review - out next week! Here's today's raft of responses... Thank you! The paper is not without it's flaws, which all are hopefully described in the methodology and discussion. This paper is a sister paper to the economics...

This post is one of the most uplifting posts I've seen on Tinnitus Talk. Thanks for posting it. My tinnitus was also caused by ototoxicity and then made worse by noise. I have a number of questions though: 1. What intermittent fasting diet did you follow, i.e. 8:16 or 5:2 or what? 2. Did you...

Thank you very much for your clear explanation Dr. Nagler! about the fact that they suggested TRT is because I'm a very perfectionist kind of person, and a couple of months back I couldn't cope with the T in silence (sleep, study, etc). This has changed for me over the months. I am still...

TRT is a treatment protocol devised by Dr. Pawel Jastreboff and based upon Dr. Jastreboff's Neurophysiological Model of Tinnitus, which he first described in 1990. The details of the model are not crucial to this discussion, but it is of value to understand its fundamental principle: In...
