I have similar issues. My tinnitus has gotten louder, and I now have trouble hearing people when wearing earplugs—even the radio in my car is difficult to hear while driving with the same earplugs in. I used to be able to comfortably listen to music in the car while driving, and it was a great...

It’s an ache that feels like it’s coming from my middle ear. I notice it after certain sounds. It isn’t sharp—it feels more like the sensation of a fatigued muscle. That’s why I think it might have something to do with my tensor tympani muscle clenching or spasming. I never feel it while wearing...

I was thinking about this earlier as well. It’s highly unlikely that he will be able to deport more than a fraction of the 15 to 20 million undocumented immigrants during his term. The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) reported that, as of June 11, 2025, over 207,000 migrants have been...

I feel like if one could “will” it away by “balancing the autonomic nervous system,” you would already be better. I think it’s completely out of our control. Those who improve often believe they played a constructive role in their recovery, but in reality, it’s more likely due to chance and...

Grimes has tinnitus.

Everything makes me worse too. All I want is to stop getting worse. I just want to live my life—or whatever is left of it. Tinnitus keeps taking everything from me and punishes me every time I try to make any progress in rebuilding my life.

Well, I’ve been back from my trip to Los Angeles since Sunday. My tinnitus is really bad. The whole trip was loud. The graduation ceremony lasted two hours, with speeches peaking at 96 dBA, and there was a two-hour wait sitting in the sun while pre-recorded speeches played over the PA system. I...

Maybe I’m mistaken, but I was under the impression that there are no hearing aids on the market that can physically produce sounds above 8 kHz. We can certainly create notched audio files above 8 kHz, but I thought hearing aids were not capable of generating sound in that range.

Injectable polyplex-loaded, glycol-based chitosan thermogels represent an innovative strategy for gene delivery to the inner ear, with potential applications in presbycusis and tinnitus. Although specific studies in this context are currently limited, related research on hydrogels and gene...

hows your tinnitus after clonazepam why did you stop after 7 months it stopped working?

How old are you, Frank?

Today, I did something I thought I'd never be able to do, something I feared. Today, I mowed the lawn! It was an eletric lawn mower and I wore earplugs. I was definitely sore afterwards (pain in my face) and muscle stiffness around my body, but I did it! And I had fun! :D

The next administration will more than likely stay Republican. I think either DeSantis or Marco Rubio will follow Trump. According to Bill O'Reilly, the "Kings" protesters were largely paid to do so.

In my eyes, this is a game changer. Just imagine what we can do now. The phrase “the inner ear is a black box” no longer applies. This is incredible new information. I’m not well-informed about gene therapy, but with this development, it should be possible to regenerate the inner ear—or at the...

I’m not a doctor, and this is not medical advice. Your Eustachian tube is probably blocked by mucus from your cold, which has trapped air at a certain pressure in your middle ear. When the airplane descended, the air pressure around you increased, but the pressure in your middle ear did not...

Frank, you’ve had tinnitus since 2010. Have you ever experienced a spike before?

Very similar situation here after having tinnitus for 10 years, and I just don’t understand it. I’m very careful with my hearing. We have a baby, and she makes noise. I wear low-occlusion hearing protection at all times around her and remove it otherwise. If things get loud, I wear Peltor...

I have definitely experienced ear fatigue on my worst days, even just from talking or being talked to. I know many others on the board have said the same in the past, so you are not alone. I wish you well as you continue to experiment with this. It is good to have some kind of social connection...

Actually, I edit audio and video (or at least I could before tinnitus turned my life upside down). In Final Cut Pro, there is an “EQ” filter that can be applied to a soundtrack, and you can adjust the settings to notch out higher frequencies. Mine is at 14,600 kHz, and this is how I set it up...

Hello @Kam75, I am really sorry for what you’re going through. I’m in the same boat after taking a glucocorticoid and a tricyclic—just two doses, and I was in hell. The doctors tried to push all kinds of medications on me: SSRIs, benzodiazepines, antibiotics, corticosteroids, and so on. At my...

As I mentioned earlier, I am currently browsing university websites based on the 2024 Shanghai Ranking to find information about tinnitus research. Here is a piece of news from Columbia University, which is ranked 8th. To be transparent, I should note that there were earlier posts about this...

Same.
