As an example to illustrate "place", I will use my own situation a few hours north of San Francisco in N. California: I have a guest bedroom that is never used. A beautiful and very quiet location with an incredible view and deck overlooking a huge valley. Hiking from the front gate. 10 minutes...

As someone with severe, long term tinnitus and hyperacusis I live a very secluded and isolated life, especially in comparison to my life 'before'. *[See my Profile for details!]. I used to love to travel, do classes, dance, perform, socialize, etc. yet for many years all I have done really is...

After an absence of nearly 3 years being a very active member of Tinnitus Talk, I have decided to come back primarily to present an idea because it is something that I would want for myself. However, the more I reflected on the idea the more I realized there may be others out there (likewise...

A rather surprising review of Germany's relationship to noise and silence... No wonder I like it there so much! http://www.bbc.com/news/world-europe-35122755 Zimichael

This really sort of belongs in my initial thread that @Markku "pegged" at the top of the Support Page here, as he must have thought it was important...and refuses to take it down as of yet. *(Hugs Markku!)...

An Invitation – To long term T. or H. folks who are still hurting, suffering and "silent"... I have been mulling a post like this for months, but have just not had the inner strength and will to do it. Not sure I do yet, but I'm going to give it a go. Consider it an imperfect attempt, but maybe...

Some of you may have noticed that I have been "off board" (not contributing to TT) for a long time. Without going into details, the answer is very simple...The word for it in English is "suffering". Depending on the degree of that, it can be all encompassing, highly debilitating, soul...

I was doing a little research for a friend and came upon this ref. volume levels in movie theaters. Seeing as I have not been in one for maybe 15 years I was way off on my 'estimate' of the potentially damaging volume levels therein...This article is more than sobering and though @jeffie7 posted...

Someone tagged me on this old post of just over a year ago. Also, the issue came up again in another section I follow when someone had the realization: "By golly! I was taking ototoxic meds and exposed to loud sound too when I got my T!" Thus I thought it would be worthwhile re-posting this...

Yeah I know this is kind of trivia, but this is a short and somewhat "interesting" read: http://in.reuters.com/article/2015/01/28/science-placebo-idINL1N0V517920150128 Incidentally, it shows why we need more people in the Retigabine or Keppra trails, as the more we have the smaller the...

OK, some of you know that one of my "shticks" (Translation = things that I try to promote) is to try and get members - and new joining members - to put some basic information in their Profile. Yeah, the NSA may have scared off some people, but realistically I think they don't give a darn about...

I figured this was a better place to post this question than in the "Introduce Yourself" section, as others may wish to do the test, or have the same question as me. Seeing as you posted this ATEOS, it is likely to be a 'good and interesting thing to do' as you don't promote 'Mickey Mouse'...

Otherwise tilted: “Why am I on this Forum at all?” Then a sub-title of… “After watching much skirmishing and debate over such matters.” Oh, and maybe I should add… “plus four increases in T volume.” Ha, and then the super obvious… “And why we need a CURE…too!” Now to explain this in less...

Not sure where this post belongs really, but I guess it could fall under "financial support" so at least I have one foot in the correct Forum locational door! In short, my question is based on the fact that if anyone out there knows which "Tinnitus cure" companies are going to have the biggest...

I guess this should go in the "Positivity Thread" maybe, but there is a remedial component that is relevant here. In May I posted about how the "Big Silence" of wide open spaces in nature seem to 'drown out' my incessant screeching T and make my H irrelevant (as there is no noise to protect...

I was intrigued by what happened to Rhea a short while back where she got a big T spike from a loud peal of thunder while sleep. It generated the obvious question of whether T and hearing damage can occur if you are unconscious. If so, then I of course began to ponder the whole "T is all a Brain...

OK, yeah...I can't sleep so was researching if one can get tinnitus while asleep or unconscious (The "Rhea Thunderstorm Effect") and I found this. Thought it was worth sharing... http://www.reddoorhearing.com/tag/hearing-loss/ LITTLE COCHLEA VS. THE BIG BAD WORLD ~ March 27th, 2012 by QCURRIE...

OK...First up I am being a bit lazy here as have not done a thorough search to see if it's already 'on site'. But half my point is, is that if it is, it is not "GLARINGLY VISIBLE" to someone who just happens to drop onto this TT Forum because they got 'ringing in the head' a few days ago. Let's...

This post is coming out of a reply I wrote in another thread, about what defines “severe tinnitus”. You can find that here: https://www.tinnitustalk.com/threads/define-severe-tinnitus.5081/ It got me mulling the differences between straight up tinnitus, and tinnitus with hyperacusis...

Some poet, or maybe it was John Muir, called the quiet of the deep mountains "The Ringing Silence" (which made me wonder if he had tinnitus?!). Anyway, I don't know if this happens to anyone else but when I go to truly big open spaces like the desert, or the High Sierra's, my super loud ringing...

A while back some discussion of Ketamine came up in the AM-101 thread as apparently there's a Ketamine-like ingredient in the AM-101, though with speculation as to what exactly, or how it might act in that formulation. Then in December I posted this thread...

Some of you may recall my post some time back about that incredible acupuncturist Ajhan Charat, I saw (twice eventually, once in 2007 and again in 2013) in Bangkok with "needles as big a spears". He did his best to work on my hyperacusis and tinnitus, and indeed the first time it seemed a little...

I have been silent and not on the Tinnitus Talk site much lately. Have been dealing with the stresses of another divorce after mutually calling it quits after seven and half years. It was not just the tinnitus and hyperacusis as we were very, very different from day one...and that did not mellow...

:arghh: Caution long post (again)! Well…first up, I guess if I am going to give “advice” I had better put a face to it instead of my favorite rock icon in a (California) High Sierra’s lake at 11,000 feet…By the way, this is a “good day” photo. Add on about 10 years if my tinnitus is driving me...

:arghh: - LPA - :arghh: - LPA - :arghh: - LPA - :arghh: - LONG POST ALERT!!! So, after the revelation of that temporary tinnitus inhibition c/o the Xino Tinnitus hearing aid website demo, I hustled as soon as possible to find an audiologist who carried them. After some phoning around, much to...

The post about volume reminded me of this... I stumbled on this website a few months ago as I was once again researching possible things that may help my tinnitus. I knew that hearing aids had made huge gains in sophistication over the last few years, so wondered if maskers had too. [Did not...

Hello all... I'm pretty new here, and when I get the chance to drop in on this site/forum it's JUST GREAT what I am finding and what people are sharing. I feel a lot less alone. Thank you!!! However, there is one thing that I am doing all the time, and I can't imagine that others are not as...

“The Lama Doctor” SPOILER ALERT! For those of you (younger perhaps?) who like fast and quick posts with Twitterati efficiency, be warned. When you see my icon, that triangular rock [at 11,000 ft., in a lake, in the Ansel Adams Wilderness of the High Sierras' in California = totally natural by...

Neenie's post about wacky tinnitus treatments got my memory going about how many things I have tried over the years and years I have had this darn condition. If you see my history, it's been affecting my life for a long time - though the age 6 from a fire-cracker explosion does not count really...

Sorry about the heavy duty title up there, but with New Year's coming up and parties, music, laughter, fun...and all those things I can't enjoy any more c/o my tinnitus and hyperacusis, I figured I would share this now rather than later. Ha, ha...Another warning! This could be a LONG post, so I...

Hello everyone/anyone... I was born and raised in Zimbabwe (Rhodesia then). I first got tinnitus when my brother threw a fire-cracker at me at age 6, but adapted to it (Ah, the resilience of youth!). It did not bother me much until some noisy construction work I was helping with nearly 30 years...

Hi...I'm new to this chat board, but unfortunately not new to tinnitus and hyperacusis. I've had tinnitus (E flat ringing) for most of my life but it was vastly exacerbated by antibiotics and morphed into hyperacusis as well, in 2006 when I was treated with Neomycin and then Amphotericin. Talk...
