I used the Red Light Man before work for like 5-10 minutes per ear, and again at night. Typically I'd just do it when my wife was getting ready to...
Your mileage may vary. If you want to experiment, Red Light Man (google it) makes very cheap lamps with multiple wavelengths. DO NOT pay tons of...
Personally, I spent years terrified to live my life because I spent too much time here with people telling me how dangerous the world was, which...
My tinnitus was anything but mild. I sat in a small apt with a washer dryer/tv/dishwasher, and AC unit running and it screamed over all of it. I...
Thanks for your permission. LOL. Jokes aside, I never once had a spike from a show. My ears predictably ring a little louder during the winter...
If it's too painful to enjoy, don't go. My first live music experience, believe it or not, I performed at. It was at a bar with an open setup -...
DO NOT SKIP CONCERTS UNLESS YOU HAVE HYPERACUSIS. And get REAL earplugs. Customs, with good filters. Not for more protection, so you enjoy the...
You're staying pretty urban in those areas, but you'll def be happier. I planned to move to Weehawken before exploring further out... Honestly,...
I moved to Essex county. I still have to commute 2x a week to the city. Yes, I hate how loud the city is. I'm pretty open with friends and...
I know many people who had dramatic improvements and I am one. Not everyone who leaves gets better, but most who get better leave.
Has David actually solved ANYONE'S tinnitus on THIS SITE? How is anyone still talking about this? This thread is 5 years old. Where are the...
Custom earplugs are one of the best purchases I have ever made. I still use mine 6 years later all the time, even though I don't have hyperacusis...
don't expect much. its highly unlikely you have anything that shows up on MRI, however its good to check. If they DO find something, keep calm...
I definitely avoided it for a bit... I'm glad to have started playing again. I never said it was psychological or that I am anything more than 1...
The Combo Mini. It had like 4 colors, some IR.
It's something I'd say was crazy to try if I didn't have tinnitus. Just sharing what I did. Can't say that it works.
Yeah. I had a few periods of silence early on. You also trimmed this post. I was basically advocating getting drunk at the time. Alcohol abuse...
Yes. SCM muscles being tight is a big issue. This was where I started. [MEDIA] Go see a pro though. I took lots of supplements and used a Red...
I'm not a doctor, but my hypothesis is that hyperacusis is the tensor tympani muscle stuck in activation mode - essentially trying to guard your...
Well, I have a small child these days - so I don't really go to raves at this point. But I absolutely have gone to them, and I frequent concerts -...
I do not post here much anymore, and rarely check in. But this is the type of thread that deserves more attention. For anyone whose been around...
Basically, yes. My ears would be totally silent. And believe me - I looked for it. I can't say what works better for tinnitus. MDMA is more fun...
The kitchen sink. Lol. Jokes aside, MDMA primarily. But yes, mushrooms.
My tinnitus faded to nearly nothing since having extreme tinnitus and we'll call it "bad" hyperacusis in 2016. Through this time I am not...
Gotta be Koss headphones though, right? Time away from headphones is part of what helped. Definitely wasn't sleeping while wearing them. Lol.
Honestly I slowly reintroduced sounds into my life and rested my ears a lot. I did use a very cheap LLLT therapy but candidly it probably did...
I'm fine. My ears hiss a bit. I played drums and electric guitars daily.with moderate protection.
Very, very bad. I used to wear earplugs to do basically everything due to sound intolerance. Many frequencies for me would cause secondary noises...
Do as you will. I personally think hyperacusis is a muscular disorder where the tiny muscles of the inner ear are desperately trying to protect...
Take a look at my posts in here. I'm one of the most positive people in this forum about your chance for recovery. If you want to play harsh...
Schizophrenia.
Sounds like God doesn't like you then, given you're on a support forum for a torturous affliction. And I guess he likes me despite me talking shit...
I'm not remotely qualified to comment on whether or not this thing can regenerate the cochlea. Further, nobody really is. You have to kill the...
As a focus group of ONE - I think, yes - the RedLightMan laser is effective. but I don't think it is for the reasons Dr. Wilden claims. I...
Yes. I used the Red Man Light. At $100 it seemed like a low risk endeavor. I can't advocate for spending thousands without concrete proof there...
The times I really heavily used the light, I have noticed that my sound got louder, but also less tonal after multiple days. So, instead of a...
Bill, I have absolutely no idea what point you're trying to make here.
I'm mostly fine these days.
Mine started like that and over 2 years got to the point where it basically stays at its lowest form.
My tinnitus spikes with the beginning of allergy season every year for like 5-15 days. Once my body adapts to the pollen it calms down.
I started to get meaningful improvement with my tinnitus at 14 months. Hyperacusis started to fade after about 9 months. From there it has...
I don't have the patience to debate this with you anymore. @Autumnly I had bad hyperacusis for most of a year. I avoided loud sounds and wore...
Nobody attacked Bill for telling people to avoid loud sounds. People have criticized him for going far above and beyond that. Like removing fire...
I've had both. If you're still struggling, read "A headache in the Pelvis". This info and a good PT changed my life.
stay indoors people.
Never gets better, eh buddy??
I definitely do not care. Most of my circle of friends are musicians or are married to a musician. We all wear earplugs because we all know...
I think a lot of people are too concerned with the opinions of others. I took a drum lesson yesterday and when I walked in I explained to the...
No. Don't be Orwellian like the left and try to redefine words. rac·ist /ˈrāsəst/ noun noun: racist; plural noun: racists a person who shows...
Just a few more posts and I got Bingo, John. BTW aren't you a "Christian"? lol. Very Jesus like to check for papers before healthcare and...
This isn't accurate and is insensitive to many struggling white people. But it ain't racist.
Sanders isn't my dude, but racist? LOL. c'mon.
Get the mute system. There is no way this will hurt your ears with hearing protection on. Seriously man. It's an acoustic kit that can be...
@Telis I feel for you man. I've lived with complications of a sports hernia for the better part of 10 years. The first 4 I had debilitating...
If you dig through my old posts I know a few people (in real life) that saw volume reductions multiple years past onset. I had a spike again a...
Those things are the same. The whole reason they turn to coping mechanisms instead of curing you is because they acknowledge there is no cure....
Ironically I'm a guitar player for 25 years, and picked up drumming 2 months ago. I use Zildjian L80s, RTom Black Hole mutes, and an acquarian...
it's great that you're still playing. As to timing - I had my first real improvement around 14 months. I'd say I was really feeling OK at...
Nah. really. Even the ones with experiemental treatments have a "your mileage may vary" clause. That one Israeli huckster may be the outlier...
I'm totally habituated but I also had to redefine what habituation is. By my original definition, nobody ever habituates. For example - I...
