Hi, further to my guitar post, I have always been very interested in DJing/mixing vinyl (70s, 80s, 90s soul, funk, hip-hop, r&b). I am not talking about doing crazy club gigs but just an at-home setup. Anyone out there who mixes music or spins vinyl with tinnitus? If so, what ear plugs do you...

Well, it's been a while. My tinnitus waxes and wanes. Since upping my antidepressant in the last month, I have noticed a big improvement in my tinnitus, so for me, tinnitus is largely triggered by anxiety and stress. It is still there in the background but seemingly much quieter or perhaps I...

I have grown my hair out since I have had tinnitus but I want to go back to my bald skin fade now that spring and summer are coming in a couple months. Should I be worried about the buzzing of clippers near my ears? Should I wear ear plugs? I don’t care how stupid I will look, I am past...

Hi, I need to stop taking Baclofen (a skeletal muscle relaxant) due to an ongoing side effect (frequent urination). Baclofen acts on GABA B and I am on a very heavy/high dose, 80mg per day. It does also help with my back and anxiety but I can’t take it anymore due to the frequent urination...

Hi, I am in a bad space right now. I saw a Doctor who wants me to take Lamictal to help lift and balance my mood. He has diagnosed me with Bipolar. He said that Lamictal is an Antiepileptic but also used as a mood stabilizer and that is acts more as an antidepressant, bringing your lows up...

Hi all, I am having some issues with constipation. Have tried several household remedies. Pharmacist recommended Senokot which contains Senna for up to 5 days to get things moving along. I know a lot of OTC things can be ototoxic. Does anyone know if Senna / Senokot Laxative is ototoxic or...

I was having chest congestion at night and my GP examined me and thinks it is post nasal drip because it goes away during the day and my chest is clear. I went to the Pharmacy and they recommended a nasal rinse and decongestant. I said I would start with trying the hydraSense Nasal Rinse -...

Hi, Help! Can anyone suggest the best ear plugs to wear that are in-ear for functions where there will be loud music/noise? I need to attend a funeral and there will be a loud choir, music (piano/organ etc.) over speakers as well as many people singing next to me. Obviously it is not like...

Nothing. I suffered from a head trauma in December. I have had post concussion syndrome (transient headaches, dizziness, nausea, hyperacusis) ever since including tinnitus which fluctuates in the left ear. So I saw 3 people in the ENT Clinic. 1. Audiologist. Tested my hearing. Said it...

Hi, I need to order a pair of ear muffs as I have tinnitus and hyperacusis from head trauma (concussion) and or/being hit in the jaw. I need a good pair of ear muffs for vacuuming, dust busting and soon cutting the lawn (lawn mower). I also have a VitaMix blender that I would like to use...

I have hyperacusis from a head injury along with a form of tinnitus that is possibly pulsatile tinnitus related. I purchased a humidifier and after a month, I started waking up with my ears ringing, different to the low buzzing pulsatile tinnitus I was already experiencing. Seems this...

Hi, I need to go to the dentist to have me teeth cleaned and I will need work down on two bottom teeth later this year (it was determined last year but my co-pay was maxed so they had to put it over until this year). Can anyone recommend a pair of ear plugs I should buy and where I can buy...

Hi all, Well, I am 7 weeks in after being physically assaulted in early December. Left ear only. My tinnitus is seeming to vary. I test it in am isolated room in the basement every couple days (so the variables are constant). Sometimes it is bad a continuous hum or buz and other times it is...
