    Chit Chat and All That...

    Your doctor sounds like quite an open-minded person for suggesting grounding. I'm convinced there's something to it. I remember Mrs Elmer buying the other Toyota hybrid a couple of years ago. If you recall, Mrs UKB was also talking about changing her car around the same time. Well, enjoy your...

    Desperate for Help with Severe Reactive Tinnitus and Life Impact

    You seem to give very black and white answers. One size does not fit everyone, and I disagree with a lot of what you are saying here. Reading between the lines, it comes across as if you believe you are pretty much doomed with reactive tinnitus. In any case… There is much more to tinnitus than...

    Abraham Shulman Tinnitus Protocol (Clonazepam Plus Gabapentin)

    Thanks for the update. Do you believe that any of the other things you have done, such as practicing mindfulness or continuing with daily life, have contributed to not being consciously aware of it?

    Desperate for Help with Severe Reactive Tinnitus and Life Impact

    I don't think you have a psychological problem, you have a severe tinnitus problem. You have physical damage in your ear, which has caused hearing loss and consequently tinnitus. You are a severe case because your tinnitus easily (potentially permanently) worsens from normal noise exposure and...

    2024 US Presidential Election

    Once again, you didn't disagree with my initial assertions. Why? Because you know I speak the truth, however uncomfortable it may make you. So, like the others here, you have to be dismissive towards me because you can't refute my assertions. That would make YOU the hoser! Your country, Canada...

    Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) — Options for Treating Tinnitus

    The original poster has basically created an advertisement for “Chinese medicine.” I do not care if it has been around for 5,000 years or even 500,000 years. I have not found any documented cases where it truly helps with tinnitus. It might calm someone for a while, but tinnitus remains tinnitus.

    Strange Hearing Distortion/Dysacusis?

    For me, it is always a beeping sound, but the speed of the beeping varies depending on the source. Air fryers produce a fast beep, fridges have a consistent tone, and wind creates a strange, slower, mechanical beeping sound.

    It Got the Best of Me: Struggling with Worsening Tinnitus, Hyperacusis, and Anxiety

    Do you have TMJ disorder? I have TMJD with disc displacement. Have you ever had an MRI? I often wonder if there might be something going on with our turbinates or sinuses that could be affecting the ears. I also have a constantly stuffy nose and can barely breathe through it at night. What about...

    Desperate for Help: My Son’s Severe Tinnitus Flare After Concert Exposure

    It is very difficult, but the most important factor is time—months or even years—and being in a completely silent room without using hearing protection. Your son has a complex case of reactive, multi-tonal tinnitus. If possible, avoid ototoxic medications, including antidepressants and...

    Abraham Shulman Tinnitus Protocol (Clonazepam Plus Gabapentin)

    Abraham Shulman Tinnitus Protocol (Clonazepam Plus Gabapentin)

    Just bumping this to say that I am now about nine months off Gabapentin. I have also reduced my Clonazepam by 50 percent, from 2 mg to 1 mg, and if my tinnitus is acting any differently, I am not consciously aware of it. I am still unsure whether I will completely discontinue Clonazepam or not...

    People with Dysacusis, Distortions or Loudness Hyperacusis — Describe Your Symptoms!

    I would be curious to hear if it is still working since the last time you posted. Did your tinnitus sounds also decrease? I think you are on to something with it being an overactive DCN or VCN. Do you think it would be possible to take natural supplements that increase GABA and achieve the same...

    In my opinion, those who are qualified for legal immigration and apply correctly should be allowed entry into our country. The United States cannot simply ignore those rules, open the borders, and become the only place in the world where anyone can come and stay as long as they like, often at...

    New University of Michigan Tinnitus Discovery — Signal Timing

    I forgot to mention this earlier, but the Lenire representative actually told me that the increase in my tinnitus after my acoustic trauma two years ago was psychosomatic, simply because I had very mild tinnitus before it. This, despite the fact that I could barely hear it in a quiet room back...

    @Luman, so, in your opinion, who should be allowed entry into what used to be called the “Land of the Free”? Virgins? Wealthy individuals? People who have never committed adultery? Heterosexuals? Right-wing clergymen? How far should the moral police take it? What about pedophiles and...

    Can You Recover to Baseline from a Setback (Decreased Sound Tolerance and Ear Fatigue) Lasting a Couple of Weeks?

    How are you doing now, @mky10159? I’m in a similar situation. Tinnitus followed by hyperacusis started in October 2020. The hyperacusis disappeared in March 2021, and I was left with mild tinnitus, which I eventually habituated to. Now, more than four years later, it’s been two months of...

    Am I the Unluckiest Person on Earth When It Comes to Tinnitus? My 6-Year Tinnitus Nightmare: How One Festival Changed My Life

    Sorry to hear that you are in such a position, @Kam75. It feels like the world has gone mad. Just last summer, my landlord gave me notice to leave after seven and a half years. With the way things are going, it has become very difficult to find a place to rent. It seems like there is a new...

    Now all Lenire needs is to introduce an after-sales follow-up, a heavy-duty persuasion session to convince the patient that their tinnitus has been cured. Like, no one can hear it... it is all in the mind. Just kidding. That said, I must confess that I benefited from TRT treatment back in the...

    Desperate for Help with Severe Reactive Tinnitus and Life Impact

    Hello, my tinnitus is almost the same as yours. In my case, I have found that it is best to expose yourself to sound only when you feel safe or when you are having a better day. Do it slowly and very gradually. Every worsening I experienced—some temporary, some more long-lasting—happened because...

    Ear Fatigue and Sensitivity After Talking for Long Periods — Is My Hyperacusis Getting Worse?

    I have the same problem currently. It also makes my tinnitus louder. I damaged my ears again two months ago (check my posts for more information), and since then, my own speaking voice has aggravated my tinnitus and caused ear pain. It is very frustrating. It has improved slightly over the...

    Desperate for Help with Severe Reactive Tinnitus and Life Impact

    Hi, your symptom set sounds like a mirror image of mine. I am over two years into this worsening, with resulting reactive tinnitus—which I did not even know was a thing until my standard tonal tinnitus turned reactive after an MRI scan. First of all, I am sorry this is happening. I can...

    @cjbhab Exactly. Sometimes I go to shower and when I leave, I am like "wow, so relaxing, it's almost silent". Then other days "OMG why did I go to take a shower, I made it worse again!" Annoying. It would be very nice to know the reason why it behaves like that.

    it is absolutely crazy. We all find our limits pretty fast. over 69.9 Db for any amount of time is when i start reaching for the earplugs. Too bad they are crazy uncomfortable because all i can hear is crazy loud shrill ringing with plugs in.

    I also had a bad experience using earplugs. I actually made my condition worse by being in a club while wearing them. I had been in that same club years ago without earplugs, and I did not end up with this severe condition afterward. I did get a bad spike then, and of course, I should not have...

    Well, my ears have officially been burning all day, and it has been getting worse quickly. It came on suddenly, and I have no idea how to manage it. It feels like menthol inside my ears. They are fluttering in response to every little sound now. I guess this is all delayed from exactly two...

    Finding Relief: My Journey with Tinnitus, Hearing Aids, and Zinc

    In the US, most audiologists will allow you to take home demo hearing aids to try out before deciding whether to purchase them. I purchased Widex hearing aids for about $3,800. I was told they are highly rated for tinnitus relief and considered expensive because they feature some of the best...
