If you could go to the pharmacy and get a pill to save your hearing after being exposed to loud noise, or if such a pill could be used by patients or professionals who are at risk, it would be a massive breakthrough. As far as I’m concerned, anything that treats ear-related conditions is a win...

I’m another hum sufferer following an ear infection two months ago. It has an irregular rhythm but is constant. It gets worse when there is no ambient sound. Sometimes it becomes a steady hum, while at other times it pulses, though not in sync with my heartbeat. It measures around 100 to 150...

Ugh, I have the same thing. Low-frequency tinnitus (around 100 to 200 Hz). It warbles and is irregular. I think it’s always present, but most daily noise masks it. At times, especially when I’m in bed, it can turn into a constant tone. It also seems worse in certain rooms, yet barely audible in...

@SpiralPath, life sometimes throws us curveballs. Just when we feel on top of the world, a crash can happen. I have had so many ups and downs in my 55 years that, honestly, I see it all as one big adventure—good times and bad. But stay hopeful. This too shall pass. You are still quite young...

My doctor prescribed 0.5 mg, one to two times daily, since October 2024. I also take 50 mg of Zoloft. I will pray for you, @delta784. Thank you, @linearb, for your very detailed response. Klonopin tends to lessen the distress, and my tinnitus has come a long way toward quieting down. I have...

Happy 4th!

Hello, I do not take it regularly. I only use it during very difficult periods, and I usually take 0.25 to 0.5 mg every three days, one to three hours before sleeping. I have never taken it for more than two weeks.

So, the clinical trial hasn't even started yet? Damn.

He also has multi-tone tinnitus. This condition takes everything from me. Combined with noxacusis, hyperacusis, tonic tensor tympani syndrome, and other ear problems, it becomes extremely difficult. My advice to you is to protect your ears, because you never know when things might get worse...

Therapies targeting recent-onset cases are where most of the successes seem to cluster. (Mind you, I have submitted my patented cure for recent-onset tinnitus — 100 percent natural — breadcrumbs! But don’t tell anyone. 😎) It makes you wonder about the connection between psychology and...

Go on! Silver-tongued, pseudo-academic, raising our hopes… But if you are actually onto something, that would be wonderful. So, where is the catch? Does it only work for early-onset cases who happen to be billionaires? 😟

What I meant was I have to drive at least 30 miles for most things, which isn’t great when your ears and face hurt.

I'm only 29. How long have you been taking it daily?

@momus, have you tried Clonazepam?

Hey @Mark F., Thank you so much for the response. It really means a lot to me because I feel so lost right now. I am worried because I feel like tinnitus will eventually win. It may only get worse over time, and my quality of life might keep declining. It hurts more and more to watch myself...

I think it is incredibly hard to say, honestly. It is a purely internal perception, so it has no actual volume associated with it, and the relative volume it seems to have compared to the rest of my audio feed is extremely variable. It depends on factors like fatigue, muscle tension, hormone...

Dry needling seemed to provide some occasional improvement. I am still experiencing both good and bad days, but overall things feel more balanced. For now, I am holding off on continuing the dry needling therapy, as I am concerned about the risk of hitting a nerve or potentially making things worse.

@kingsfan, what do you mean by a 'rural nightmare'? Isn't that better than an urban nightmare?

Can I ask why? Someone recently recommended it to me.

It took me four long months to get off Clonazepam. I’m happy to be off it now because I felt like a zombie for a year and a half. This medication helps you cope only because it turns you into a zombie—nothing more. That being said, I’ve adjusted to my tinnitus, TTTS, and dysacusis in the best...

I take 1.0 mg of Klonopin daily. I am 62 years old.

All of these studies focus on fresh onset. How ridiculous. As if everyone will have immediate access to an emergency room after a noise event, and the right treatments will just happen to be available. It comes across as lazy research design. There really should be ethics committee discussions...

I didn’t get my tinnitus from acoustic trauma. Mine started after a sinus infection, along with taking an antibiotic for the infection and sleeping with earplugs because I lived in a noisy environment. In the beginning, my tinnitus was extremely loud all the time. Over the past 30 years, it has...

Reporting back in. I had to run some errands. I went to a local grocery store about 20 minutes away. I live in a rural nightmare, and while the store is expensive, it’s quiet—unlike Walmart or Target. The entire time I was out, my ear canal had that unmistakable menthol burning sensation. On...

I hear you. I used to pay $900 for a one-bedroom apartment right next to Balboa Park in San Diego.

I think what you are doing with the finger drumming is redirecting your attention. Oddly enough, though, a lot of people swear by it. And if it works, then go for it.

I purchased DMSO, but after doing some research, I decided not to use it.

Oh no, I lived in San Francisco over 40 years ago. It was nice back then, and my apartment in the Lower Haight cost $375 a month. Now, I think it rents for $3,500. There are no true liberals left in the city. Being politically correct is not the same as being liberal. And when you do find...

Luke speaks the truth about the war in Ukraine:

It is a bad day to be part of the 99 percent of Americans. Republicans just added 3.3 trillion dollars to the national debt while cutting critical benefits for millions of working-class Americans. Do not ever let them gaslight you into believing they are “America First,” especially while they...

Could you please specify the following: 1. How severe were your symptoms initially? 2. How long did it take before you noticed the first improvements? 3. What kind of healing have you experienced, and how long did it take? Thank you.

Tinnitus Research: Novel Compound AC102 Makes Constant Ear Noise Disappear in Preclinical Model

Hahahaha. Hitler-boy is acting like he has power (he does not). I will leave when I feel like it. Not when some mush-brained, weakling orders me to.

I developed this in January 2022. I have no idea what caused it, but I suspect it might have been the COVID booster vaccine, which I received three weeks earlier. I had no issues with the first two doses. It is mild. I can listen to most songs clearly—more or less. I really thought it would go...

Trazodone didn’t help me sleep at all, and as far as I could tell, it didn’t affect my tinnitus. So I stopped taking it. I’ve never taken Mirtazapine. I’ve taken Hydroxyzine, but it didn’t help me sleep either. Quviviq helped a little, similar to Dayvigo, but not enough to keep using it...

I am very interested in the details of your story and healing process. Did you habituate, or did the noise actually decrease? Could you elaborate further?

Just me surmising again, so perhaps it’s nonsense. Starting with the first ten words of the quote: “The development of an effective therapy for tinnitus and hyperacusis…” First, the patient presents to the ENT with subjective tinnitus. After being checked for earwax blockage and tumors, they...

But the whole country is built upon illegal aliens! When did that become a bad thing? Oh, so you have something against criminals now? Are you the same person who claimed that the worst criminal in the history of mankind did a lot of right things? Let us say the leader of some European aryan...

What is your dosage? How old are you?

I developed my tinnitus and hyperacusis in 2019. I had a hearing test back then, and my results were good. Two months ago, I damaged my hearing again after going to a nightclub, even though I was wearing earplugs. But today, on July 3rd, I had another hearing test — and I was amazed. My hearing...

Same here! Please let me know if you find anything that helps.

Hi, I’m so sorry you are going through this. You sound very similar to me. My tinnitus reacts to all sorts of sounds, meaning it gets louder in response to general noise. However, certain specific sounds — like cars, wind, fans, airplanes, etc. — trigger a reactive tone that only appears with...

I had hearing test today and have good news! My hearing is basically the same than 6 years ago and it's actually even improved a bit on 8khz area! So that's good news!

Yeah, sure, fair points about placebo control and risk consideration. However, an ear with a cochlear implant is, by default, destroyed in the process, and that is vastly different from the ears of people with only sensorineural hearing loss, which they seem to highlight on their site...

The United States allows approximately one million people to enter legally, from what I understand. They are properly vetted, unlike the approximately 10 million individuals the Biden administration has allowed in. There is not much to understand about how unprecedented this stupidity was. We...

I have ringing bad in my ear. This is not living at all. Mine is so loud. Mycochlear implant just makes it louder. I live in Detroit, Michigan. I want to live again. I want to be rid of this ringing. Why are surgeons afraid to do this in USA?

Base salaries tend to be higher in San Francisco. My salary in Los Angeles was significantly higher than salaries in cities with a lower cost of living.

From their website:

I understand the pain you are in. I was there too. I would bet that most, if not all of us here, have been through it. The first six months were the most difficult for me. I am truly sorry this has happened to you. You are not alone. Come here as often as you need to. Please protect your...

Hey y’all! I’m not fully recovered yet, but I think I’m getting there. What I’ve figured out is that I likely have TTTS, tonic tensor tympani syndrome, and not just hyperacusis on its own. My ear fatigue and burning completely went away after about two months. My tinnitus stopped being reactive...

Cross the border ILLEGALLY. ILLEGAL aliens. What part of ILLEGAL do you not grasp? ILLEGAL = CRIMINAL. Is that simple enough for you, Hitler-face?

Amusement Parks are hazardous. Even with ear plugs I'm probably gonna pay for today's festivities. Just wanna live a little before I die.
