I don't. I look for signs I will regain my hearing and silence the ringing and I see nothing remotely on the horizon. And I get depressed. Sorry.
Well, I believe you! For whatever that's worth. :dunno:
I hate this word and the concept. I read it as accepting your handicap and pain. I'm not habituated, I'm pissed off. Not that it accomplishes...
I worry that I will decay and become nothing of use to my own family. Three years in, the ringing is loud as ever and I fear my hearing has...
Nope. No. And not at all.
Best wishes to you.
Yep. Me too:
Yeah, but: Experts say it will be at least five years before a product is on the market. Still, the activity is breeding optimism. Kind of a...
Been on the ginkgo train for three months myself. Zippo.
I'm convinced I will die with the last sound I hear a ringing in my otherwise useless ears. But I'm a pessimist.
I wear hearing aids. They do not fix the T and they get my hearing to about 85 percent of normal. I take niacin, ginkgo, magnesium, Triamterene,...
No. After three-to-four years, I'm miserable. My T and hearing loss are dominating my life. I am quite definitely handicapped by this. There is no...
I had my first child at age 41. The next one arrived before I turned 43. That was about the same time my ears and brain went to hell. Ringing....
Yep. My pessimism is a 10 of 10 again. It had dropped to a 9.5.
+ clicking. + pulsating. + constant pressure in the ears. So many "pluses." It's like being physically assaulted by mathematics.
Ding ding ding!!!
This is why I simply can't ever get my hopes up.
Temporarily in Orlando, Florida.
I, for one, don't wish for this to fail. And yet -- as a chronic sufferer -- I just can't muster any excitement, either. Not based on what I know,...
I'll contribute the first $100 toward it!
A new guy in charge at Decibel... https://www.bostonglobe.com/busines...decibel-ceo/earUbHO58NaoRHm4MxeEiI/story.html
New chief at a year-old research company talks the talk. Figured it was worth sharing here. At least it's nice to see some focus on the problem....
Like I said - you optimists! I don't doubt for a minute that your outlook helps you cope. I think it's great... Really. I just don't see myself...
You optimists. It's people like you that believed John F. Kennedy when he pledged to get a man to the moon and back. But seriously, I wish I...
Before surgery, I had tinnitus (ringing), hyperacusis (extreme sensitivity) and a persistent Pulsatile effect (throbing). The throbing is gone....
Yes, you and I are one of the same. Had the surgery on one ear (in 2014) to address the conductive issue. They aren't recommending the other at...
I don't mean to scare you (or anyone else). I'm just venting, I suppose. My hearing loss is tied specifically to otosclerosis, which accounts for...
So it's been - what? - half a year now with the hearing aids. And I hate them. That's not entirely fair. What I hate is being dependent on them....
@Christina I have not tried biofeedback or TRT. Maybe some day down the line. Yes -- they believe the otosclerosis damaged the hair cells and...
@Christina The steroids were really for the fullness and pressure (shots and pills -- both helped a lot). I didn't notice much change with the T....
Three years ago, I noticed the ringing. I tried some (snake oil) OTC drops. No help. In time, it got worse. Hyperacusis... Pulsatile tinnitus......
Hi all. I gave in today and was fitted for hearing aids. Can't get over feeling like it's giving up hope that things will ever get back to...
Thanks to all. I'm trying to limit my sodium intake to 1,500 mg/day (closer to 1,000, when possible). When I actually assessed what I was eating,...
Hi all, I've mostly given up on getting rid of "the ring," but am desperately trying to manage the pressure/fullness from what the doc believes to...
