    Prednisone Versus Turmeric & Quercetin

    Hey @DebInAustralia. Curious where you read about Quercetin being ototoxic? I’ve been taking it + Bromelain for about a year prior to my chronic onset of tinnitus (that’s been intermittent for 5 years). However, and I’ll update this in my original thread, 2-3 days of high dose Prednisone took...

    Very Low Frequency (30-35 Hz) Tinnitus in Left Ear

    Good to hear. Yes sorry, I missed your other reply. That is interesting because I have vibrations and nerve sensations all around my body too. However, I've had that throughout my life and only recently had this, so there may be no correlation. But let's keep that in mind if we notice more...

    Is Complete Silence Possible for a Tinnitus Sufferer?

    Plenty of people with tinnitus have complete silence, and sometimes for an extended period (e.g. 1-2 days). They have intermittent tinnitus, which is quite common.

    Solsaem Clinic (Dr. Minbo Shim) Experience

    Intermittent, gone for most of the day. Very manageable. It's not a soul crushing burden that makes me want to die anymore. I think the PRP treatment has a lot to do with that but sadly I have no evidence. I'm sure he will even tell you that there are no guarantees so if you do approach this, do...

    Food/Migraines Caused My Tinnitus Spikes

    This is interesting to me because I’m in a very similar category to you. I wake up with loud spikes that eventually go. I also have intermittent stuff that comes and goes and I can’t figure out any the connection. Yours sounds very similar. I would love to know more. You immediately get a...

    A New Quiet Morse Code Type Tinnitus Tone — Possibly Due to Fluid in My Ear

    Sorry to hear that, Mine doesnt stop by plugging ears, but I have another intermittent low frequency (brown noise) buzzing tone that does. That tone can be both heard and felt, and putting a finger in my left ear (where the tone is at) stops it... the same happens if I listen to a brown noise...

    I Invented a Sound That Knocked Out My Tinnitus

    For me the tones started to become intermittent and then the volume started to decrease after five nights... head tinnitus didn't come back in three weeks. Had a short episode again two days ago but still doing better as before the Tinnitus Mix.

    Previously Mild Tinnitus Has Become More Severe — Advice Kindly Appreciated

    So for a number of years have always had a very low level of tinnitus. I lost a dear friend in December and the month before and during December my tinnitus has gotten worse which is now basically pulsating in my right ear. I have had an MRI and CT scan and both came back normal. I will say...

    Has Anyone's Tinnitus Ever COMPLETELY Gone Away?

    Can you describe what exactly typewriter tinnitus is like? I had an ear surgery to remove an osteoma. After surgery I developed intermittent clicking in my ear. Dr said it would likely go away and I’ve seen others mention ear clicking being temporary after surgery. However, it’s be a year since...

    Can Acoustic Shock Lead to Eustachian Tube Problems?

    Hi all, I underwent what I thought is an acoustic shock with headphones back in March. While I have largely habituated to my tinnitus, I have some TTTS in my right ear and some sensitivity to higher frequency sounds. My right ear is the one with a more significant hearing loss as well...

    How I Overcame My Tinnitus, and You Can Too

    @dfw, couldn't agree more! -- I've recently been experimenting with modified intermittent fasting, and the preliminary results have given me my first real sense of hope since my severe tinnitus/hyperacusis odyssey started over six months ago. -- Best!

    Not Coping. Thinking of Ending It All.

    Pulsatile Tinnitus with Daily Ear Pain

    Thank you for your reply Greg. I realise that the problem could be arterial but so far have not found much information on pulsatile tinnitus with pain. Hadn't considered high blood pressure as I am actually a long-term user of beta blockers as a migraine preventative. Apart from the pulse and...

    6th month mark. So. To keep this not too long... I wish I had good news to report, but I do not have any. My tinnitus appears to be steadily the same as 6 months ago when it began. I really hoped to see some improvement by now, but apart from few minor random moments of low tinnitus nothing...

    Lenire — Bimodal Stimulation Treatment by Neuromod

    Tinnitus from Antidepressant (Fluoxetine) — Seeking Advice

    Hello all, I'm new to tinnitus and am seeking advice on how to manage it. In short, I had a severe adverse reaction to the antidepressant Fluoxetine, which caused me nerve pain as well as a ton of other side effects. I developed tinnitus a week or so after I stopped the medication, so it seems...

    Cannot Tell If It Is Pulsatile Tinnitus or Hyperacusis or Both

    Hi, @Stocktrader86, I have a couple of thoughts about your condition. First of all, it is possible that, since your pulsating is intermittent, it could be tensor tympani syndrome. http://www.hyperacusis.net/other-factors/tensor-tympani-syndrome/ Tensor tympani may be associated with...

    Frequency Therapeutics — Hearing Loss Regeneration

    I see people speculating if FX-322 will help hyperacusis/noxacusis. Any speculation on if regeneration via FX-322 or another drug will help with TTTS at all? Also, my tinnitus is very reactive. When people speak of improvement, I wonder about reactivity. Of course it’s great to see these...

    Is Prednisone Effective 6 Weeks Out for Hearing Loss?

    I developed sudden tinnitus after surgery a week ago. I was told that the prednisilone needs to be taken within 2-4 weeks to be effective. Took it for one day and all symptoms vanished. Came back the next day so am back on it and hoping for a miracle. I can hear fine, just have horrid...

    Is Complete Silence Possible for a Tinnitus Sufferer?

    I have persistent, intermittent tinnitus. Some days, it's there for a few hours, and stops. Others, it's on all day with no breaks. I would say that it's about 90% middle-head, sometimes a bit more on one side, because I sleep on my side with one earplug partially in whatever ear I'm not...

    Dry Fasting

    Hi @gorzakus -- I didn't watch the video, but I don't think 2-3 weeks of fasting is necessary, and may even be dangerous if not conducted under pretty strict conditions. Given the environment we live in these days, I think it's more advantageous to think in terms of intermittent fasting, which...

    Warning for People with Noxacusis: For the Love of God, Protect Your Ears!

    Good idea. I thought about doing that too, two in one would be a greater benefit. I’m going to stick to regular for another month and see what happens. I heard stories of people treating their tinnitus with fasting too.

    Tinnitus Changed After 6 Months

    Fullness Feeling in the Ear and Tinnitus?

    Thanks for the kind words. The list of causes for the intermittent sensation of aural fullness is long and best left to folks who know more than I, but the fact that your ENTs "have found nothing abnormal" means that whatever is causing the fullness is of no clinical consequence. The reason...

    Acoustic Trauma from Gunshot — Will My Tinnitus Stay Stable?

    I have had tinnitus from acoustic trauma for 5 1/2 months, caused by a single gunshot after my rifle stock dislodged my earplug without me noticing. I’m worried about how stable my tinnitus will be in the future due to the damage. Currently, it’s a very mild tone that I don’t hear during the...

    Starting to Have Pulsating Tinnitus Occasionally

    Hi, @sonicboom2000, No, I'm afraid I don't know of any other blood pressure drugs that we can be sure don't cause tinnitus. However, in your case, since yours is intermittent it may not get any worse. That's something only time will tell. In the meantime, it sounds like you've made some...

    QUIET Electric Dental Drills — Instead of Traditional Air-Powered Drills

    Low-Pitched Humming = Meniere's?

    Yes, that hum went away after about a year. I suspect it may have been some kind of inflammation of the mastoid as that was only thing that showed up in an MRI. I found Promethazine helped with the hum as did ginger, honey and turmeric drink. The present hum is more problematic. I believe it...

    Loud Noise Induced Tinnitus and Hyperacusis — Should I Try Prednisone 6-7 Months After Onset?

    Hidden Hearing Loss, Tinnitus and Trouble Hearing Conversations in Noise

    More like a year. 9.5 kHz. Occasionally (seldom) 4-5 kHz. I realize tinnitus actually means there has to be sound. But there is so much more to damaged inner ears. Sometimes I get the feeling that a very sharp scalpel is cutting through my brains. I hate this condition:mad:
