Be prepared for the ENT to possibly get angry too. I recently refused all tests during an ENT appointment because the doctor would not tell me what tests she planned to do, and she refused to avoid using loud ones. She basically told me that if I had tinnitus, it was my own fault for refusing to...

The lady performed a Tympanometry test on me, and you are correct—it was not loud. I asked if she planned to do an Acoustic Reflex Test, and she said no. The whole process went smoothly. My hearing has remained virtually the same as it was two years ago. I still hear quite well for a 55-year-old.

I’ve tried this kind of chiropractor myself, unfortunately without any improvement in my tinnitus. For those interested, they are called NUCCA chiropractors, so try searching for that term to find results more quickly.

@Nick47, do you still take Clonazepam once or twice a week?

hey bro how old are you

I was able to enjoy music for the first time in 3 months. I felt like my inner child was alive again. These 3 months was one of the worst spikes I've had in my 13 years with T. I'm still at a complete loss as to what caused it, but I'm glad I've come out of the other side for now.

Thank you @SouthBound for your comments. I hope your wife feels better soon. We appreciate you taking the time to share your knowledge with us.

This is true.

Thank you for your reply. I’m hoping the same thing will happen in my case. It has only been about 18 days.

how to make money with h/t?

Hi @lostb1t, I developed bilateral tinnitus and slight hyperacusis after an acoustic trauma six months ago. However, prior to that, I was already dealing with both burnout and depression, which were untreated. As you might expect, the tinnitus only made my anxiety worse, which in turn worsened...

No. I don’t have tinnitus. My wife developed hyperacusis a couple of weeks ago, and so far, all findings have been negative. I started looking for information on whether a stellate ganglion block (SGB) might be helpful for her, since I perform them frequently, and in the process, I came across...

Thanks for the replies. I’ve only recently started experiencing harsh, continuous spikes that seem to be accumulating. I’m 58 years old and have seen an audiologist. My ear health and hearing are considered normal for my age. I wasn’t the one hammering. The student was using a wooden mallet...

Thank you for sharing this. I have a binder with all my health records printed out, and I will place this next to the audiology section as a clear red flag. When I was experiencing ear fullness, some things that helped me were hypertonic saline rinses through the sinuses, Guaifenesin, a warm...

Dementia Don strikes again while speaking in the Oval Office on Wednesday. He either can't remember what the Declaration of Independence is. Dr. Jennifer R. Mercieca, a professor of Communication and Journalism at Texas A&M University, said: The difficult thing with Trump is you never know...

I’m really happy for you! Thank you so much for sharing this information, as it could be helpful to others here. My tinnitus was caused by noise exposure, but lately I’ve developed some neck and shoulder pain that creates a tugging sensation in my ear, so I’ve been looking into somatic...

I agree. Balancing and reintegrating the nervous system is what it’s all about. Stress, worry, anxiety, and similar states create a divided self. Let go, and let things be.

My guess would have been, “Shake well before using.” @Greg Sacramento, I’m amazed by all the anatomical expertise you shared here. I hope the reason you’re no longer on the board is that your health improved or that you found new hobbies or interests. I’ve been re-reading some of your older...

The main reason Donald Trump was elected in 2024 is that the Democrats did not choose a competent and well-liked candidate to run against him.

I just realized today that I also took two or three doses of Pepto Bismol before my flight on Saturday night. I completely forgot that I’m supposed to avoid this drug. I was feeling ill and too distraught before the flight, and I didn’t even think about it. I took it again either Sunday night or...

They will tell you that nothing is loud, when in fact both the Acoustic Reflex and Otoacoustic Emissions tests are loud. Tympanometry is not loud, although some people have said it made their tinnitus worse.

Dirk de Ridder has also suggested using TNF-alpha blockers in the treatment of tinnitus.

My impression is that the trial Rinri Therapeutics will begin is focused on regenerating synapses and nerve endings. They also have a program for regenerating hair cells, but that will likely come later. Depending on the type of hearing problem someone has, treatment might arrive sooner or take...

Yeah. It took me many years—and many tears—to find myself again. After my injury, I found new hobbies and went back to school to study for a new career that my ears can handle, and where I can use my creativity. Strangely enough, tinnitus made me realize that we only have one life, and how...

Hi Wally, Sorry for replying so late. The chiropractor I saw was trained in the Blair and Toggle Recoil methods for correction. During my consultation, I also had X-rays taken, so I could see very clearly how misaligned my neck was. Honestly, I did not do much else besides attending my...

I hope you will be okay. I am taking a hearing test tomorrow, and I will ask exactly what they plan to do and how loud it will be.

Gray. Hopeless. Pointless. Final. Worthless.

Welcome to the forum. My experience is very similar to yours. My tinnitus started the day after visiting a very loud bar for a few hours. However, unlike yours, mine was one-sided from the beginning. I found it very difficult to sleep for weeks. I would wake up every few hours and go into a...

I have autism and some auditory processing difficulties. I also have hyperacusis and tinnitus. Let me clarify that hyperacusis and auditory processing disorder are very different conditions. Auditory processing disorder is not physically uncomfortable or painful, unlike hyperacusis. Anyone who...

It's cult thinking. L. Ron Hubbard said it best: "The only real way to make money is to start a religion!" MAGA is a religion that is working to benefit its one, true golden emperor. Remember that Trump only had one book next to his bedside - the first edition speeches of Adolf Hitler.

Trump literally testified in front of Congress against the asbestos ban way back in 2005. It's honestly baffling how the most powerful country on earth became so stupid that they elected this man twice.

Hi @Knietppe, I’m really sorry for what you’re going through. Yes, I completely understand what you described, and I also feel like a zombie because of the lack of sleep. My eyes are as red as tomatoes every day due to insomnia. I feel weak and unsteady, so much so that I sometimes think if...

Yeah, I took steroids at the onset, and they damaged my ears and brain. I don’t believe in science anymore.

Thank you for sharing your experience. How the Lenire device received FDA approval is a mystery to me.

I am thinking to use clonazepam same way you do but i am only 29 years old. My tinnitus, visual snow came after methylprednisolone intravenous which damaged my ears and brain it seems very odd reaction. Saturday is my off day where i usually go out meet my gf is it okay to take wednesday and...

Full disclosure: I was having a “good” tinnitus moment last weekend but really wanted to go for a ride. I was afraid the ride might make it spike back to its maximum level and spent an hour fixating on that possibility, especially considering the comments I had made on this board. Eventually, I...

Hi @Kam75, Your story is heartbreaking, especially because—even though I don’t know you—I thought you were getting better. I’m quite sure I read some of your older posts on the French forum dedicated to tinnitus and hyperacusis. When I read your testimony here, I really felt your pain. It seems...

Hi! In case anyone is interested, I wanted to share an update about my situation roughly six months after experiencing acoustic trauma in a loud bar. All the advice I received in this thread has been helpful, and I want to thank the forum members who replied. Six months in, I’m far from...

Are you trying to reduce the excitability of your auditory cortex using electromagnetic pulses, while at the same time continuing to stimulate it with loud music, which involves vibrations and can further damage an already compromised auditory system?

Trump has a baffling obsession with legalizing asbestos. I think it's tied to his make America sick as fuck and his adult oppositional defiance disorder.

hey jammer personal but are you married with this situation

hello bro are u there

hi berat abi why dont you text anything to me

A great success! Felt almost like my old self yesterday. This has been very difficult month and a half, so I did celebrate a little! I deserved it! Still, not yet completely as I used to be.

any cure yet?

Oddly enough, I read the success stories, and I’m thinking, okay, it can happen. If it did happen, how did it happen? The common advice is “don’t worry, it will go away,” but clearly something else must have occurred—because it’s not going away for us. Why? I’m an actual pathologist...

I was considering this (TMS), but it seems a bit expensive for what it promises. To answer your question about headphones—yes, it’s common for tinnitus to get louder after using them. This is probably more noticeable in people whose tinnitus is due to hearing damage, like in my case. I’m a...

Well, I wanted to give an update while reading here, trying to cope with a horrific new sound. It turns out I am very sensitive to Zopiclone, and it may have played a role in triggering my tinnitus. I used to take it for sleep but would occasionally experience auditory hallucinations directly...

Were you talking while wearing hearing protection? That could trigger a spike. Even the sound of metal clanking—despite being at a reasonable volume—could agitate those hypersensitive fusiform cells. As long as you’re keeping the environment below 80 dBA and wearing hearing protection, I really...
