There's a company in Hungary who buys ingredients like L-Theanine, NAC etc. in bulk and capsules it themselves. Their prices are 50-70% cheaper...

Yes, as far as I can tell. My audiogram's stable, and I haven't noticed any deterioration in word comprehension in noisy places etc. I am...

I got my first AstraZeneca dose on April 8. It absolutely floored me for the next day, I had such a splitting headache that even lying...

According to a study released today, "7.6% of people infected with COVID-19 experience hearing loss, while 14.8% suffer tinnitus" (that's 1 in 7)....

Glad to hear. There's a risk either way but in my mind, the risk of COVID-19 increasing tinnitus is vastly greater than the vaccine increasing...

Slightly offtopic but I wouldn't worry about Magnesium. The problem is when you take something which bypasses the body's own homeostatic...

I'll most likely be offered the first dose of the Chinese Sinopharm vaccine in the next 4-5 weeks. I'll take it gladly, COVID-19 is literally...

It works on orexin receptors, not GABA. I don't touch anything that screws with GABA, not even alcohol.

Omg - what kind of accident can you have with a soda can that causes permanent tinnitus? I'm eyeing my Coke suspiciously now.

I'm sure that'll help. Waking up, immediately dashing to the gym, then to the office, then to some social event until I was so exhausted that I...

Well I only need 6-7 hours to feel well rested, but sure, I get that much on most nights. I've found sleep restriction to be very useful. It's...

Your tinnitus is mild and recent, it'll either fade away or you'll get used to it. Let your ears rest for a few months and you'll be fine....

Same here. A few years back when I developed a new tone I was of course obsessed with it and vividly observed this phenomenon lots of times. I...

Okay I've done an objective comparison (I use my fridge's motor hum for this purpose) and it seems my tinnitus volume is unchanged. Its...

Well, I celebrated too early, the spike is back (today is Day 5 following exposure). I hope that getting some fading is a sign that this isn't...

If anybody finds this later: the spike seems to have gone back to baseline by the end of the 3rd day following exposure. Thank God.

You couldn't have known... you're absolutely not to blame. May you get better and may your children live in vibrant health.

I get waves of bad stuff (in 2020 I had a "regular" spike, a bout of pulsatile tinnitus and a bout of middle ear myoclonus AKA "clicking")....

I'm trying to be polite here so I'll just call her an ungrateful idiot. The lesson she learned from literally years of suffering with...

Also I'd recommend looking at alternatives such as CBD oil or L-Theanine in the management of your anxiety. I'm using both and I actually prefer...

I'm 32 and I've always had it. In fact finding out that silence is actually silent for most people was a genuine surprise.

Sounds like TTTS (Tonic Tensor Tympani Syndrome). The tensor tympani is a small muscle in your ear which contracts when you hear a loud sound to...

After that initial episode of 2 weeks back in September, the pulsatile tinnitus only came back maybe twice for 1-2 days, but it was almost...

Glad it works for you! Sleep is crucial and finally medical science is starting to churn out sleeping pills worthy of the name. Sorry to hear you...

Children are loud, stressful, and keep you up at night. Also, they deserve stable parents, and can't be turned off for a couple of weeks if Baby's...

Thankfully I've been sleeping very well lately, so I haven't been taking Dayvigo.

Don't want to hurt my parents and siblings, plus fear of death. Also, I have had a months-long tinnitus spike go away, and pulsatile tinnitus...

Of course there are, all meds have side effects. I didn't have any, personally. You could check the studies for what the researchers have found -...

I think that was also me, sadly. I read the same thing. It's annoying as hell, especially since you have much longer bursts than I do. But look...

I also noticed stapedial myoclonus a few weeks back. Thankfully it's infrequent, often stays quiet for hours, and even when it comes on, the most...

Grey market (just Google it).

The vaccine's side effects are real and worrisome. Nobody denies that. Why am I still enthusiastic to get that vaccine? Risk management, my man....

Hungary has 10 million residents and out of these, merely 300K have registered for the vaccine so far. This means I have a fairly good chance of...

I'm all fine. Still getting fleeting tinnitus pretty regularly (several times a week). Mostly it is just the usual pure tone that fades...

I know that you aren't talking to me but I must make this point. I need you to understand that the most frightening aspect of COVID-19 is not...

I work at a cancer research biotech and so far we haven't gotten any of that sweet bribe money ostensibly given out to suppress cure research,...

Have you been wearing a mask with a fairly tight strap? I've also gotten MEM lately and I suspect it's caused by the constant pressure/irritation...

Last status was pretty bad, heh. Pulsatile tinnitus cleared up. Normal tinnitus behaves itself. Feeling as fine as you can in 2020.

They compared Dayvigo to Ambien (which is benzo-like) and trial participants preferred Dayvigo. However, benzo withdrawal is a serious matter and...

Pretty sure it was just the better sleep. It's often lower in the morning for me. The key takeaway was just that the drug didn't make it worse......

Well, it does sound like typewriter tinnitus (just on one side, comes in bursts). If I were you I'd print this Nature article and bring it with...

How are you, Billie?

I found that 25 mg of broad-spectrum, THC-free CBD (cannabidiol) calms down the clicks for a good 5-6 hours after taking it. It's available in...

Could you dig into the "beeping" more? 1. Does it have a sharp, staccato quality, like gunfire/a typewriter/popcorn popping? Is it something that...

Hey, I'm a software engineer which also requires long periods of concentration and lengthy chains of abstract thought. Tinnitus and various other...

My hearing loss is negligible and yet I still have noise-induced tinnitus. I'm certain it's hidden hearing loss.

My experience parallels yours somewhat. I first got pulsatile tinnitus for 2 weeks in 2019 May, after a night on an exceptionally bad mattress...

Update: I got a head/neck MRA and a neurointerventional radiologist looked at it and said it's completely clear. The initial bad bout of this...

I decided to cancel laser eye surgery. It would have rendered me ineligible to use contact lens later in life. Because eyes deteriorate...

That is very common with tinnitus. I have had tinnitus for over 30 years (am 32 and always had it) and I still get random fluctuations. What...

Does it occur infrequently and go away within a few seconds or few minutes? In that case I think it's normal, just a temporary elevation of blood...

Okay, I just wanted to offer that you can borrow mine, since we both live in Budapest. It didn't help me (although ultimately it didn't hurt me,...

Kriszti, do you want to try Lenire?

Damn thing is 95% gone. I've now had 7 nights in a row when it was either very easy to ignore or completely absent. The bad part lasted roughly 2...

Not every instance of "full ear sensation" means that you hurt your ears. If you get out of a pool, or lift off with an airplane, and your ears...

Count yourself extraordinarily lucky. You have mild tinnitus. It is virtually guaranteed that you will get used to it and your quality of life...

You know something's off in your society when leaving the house requires a formal donning procedure... disinfect hands, put on KN95 mask against...
