    Finger Drumming Technique / Reddit Cure

    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.

    Austin, Texas: Cost of Living

    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...

    2024 US Presidential Election

    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...

    Does Anyone Else Have Chronic Music Distortion?

    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...

    Mirtazapine (Remeron) vs. Trazodone — Which is Gentler for Tinnitus?

    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...

    Excitotoxicity: New Class of Fibers Could Explain Tinnitus

    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...

    My Hearing Has Slightly Improved Since 2019

    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...

    Confused About Reactive Tinnitus: Where's the Expert Advice?

    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...

    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...

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

    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...

    Ear Pressure and Pain After a Restroom Hand Dryer and Child Screaming

    So what I’m noticing is that after speaking, even just a couple of words, my right ear begins to feel an icy burn. After a little while, the same icy, menthol-like sensation spreads to the right side of my face, behind my right eye, and what feels like the Eustachian tube. Then it moves down...

    Also, there are studies on residual hearing outcomes after cochlear implant procedures. If you can show improvement following implantation, that evidence already speaks for itself. In essence, the placebo effect has already been accounted for.

    A Hypochondriac with Tinnitus

    Tinnitus tends to become much louder when we focus on it (just stating the obvious). So the best advice I can offer is to keep yourself occupied. Do things, stay busy, and direct your attention elsewhere. I know that is easier said than done, but honestly, it is the only approach that has ever...

    Attending a Noisy Indoor Graduation Ceremony: Tips and Experiences?

    I guess the Prednisone was helping reduce my tinnitus, because now that I’m on day three of tapering down to 20 mg (dropping 10 mg every three days from an initial dose of 50 mg), my tinnitus has exploded. Both ears are worse, but the left one—where I messed up the earplug—is the more affected...

    I imagine the rationale is that if something goes wrong in these early-stage tests and hearing is lost, it happens in an ear that is already functionally deaf, rather than in an ear that still has hearing to lose.

    People who are already undergoing an operation on their ear make placebo control easier. Those with little usable hearing left also present less risk. It allows for better measurement of the treatment’s impact through the implant, rather than relying purely on patient reports. This is not meant...

I would say that as the dose has decreased, there has been the usual difficulty that comes with benzodiazepine tapering. I...

    Why Is a Low-Sodium Diet Recommended for Tinnitus? What's the Actual Evidence?
