    SBUTT (Fleeting Tinnitus) Triggered by Neck / Jaw Position

    I experience these SBUTTs daily. I do not think mine are related to neck or jaw position. They are mostly random, although some are triggered by sounds in my environment. I have kept a diary for over a year, noting when the SBUTTs occur, how many I have, and what factors might be involved, but I...

    Noise cancelling headphones with light music playing - or if it is still too loud. Earplugs with noise cancelling headphones on top. Have had pretty good luck. I fly 2-3 times a year from Canada to southern California.

    Has Anyone Ever Experienced Tinnitus Relief After Nasal Surgery?

    Shortly after I got tinnitus, I had rank pressure headaches - mostly felt in the forehead area. I had an MRI which revealed full opacification of the right frontal sinus. In simple terms, there are 2 sinus cavities in the forehead. They were unable to drain and the right cavity was ballooning...

    How This All Works for Me — My Current Status and How I've Regained a Full and Rich Life Despite Tinnitus

    My question is: how do you break the hyper-vigilance loop when you have constant SBUTTs throughout the day, like train whistles cutting in and out? If tinnitus were stable, it would be much easier to ignore.

    New University of Michigan Tinnitus Discovery — Signal Timing

    An easy way to end the speculation would be for the CEO to announce a conservative target date. What harm could that do? When someone withholds information, it usually means the news isn’t good. If it were good news, they’d likely be shouting it from the rooftops to let everyone know...

    Audiogram and Other Hearing Test Results

    Here is my audiogram. I suppose it shows I’m just on the cusp of having mild hearing loss. I’ve never really known what to make of it. This test was done a while back, and my tinnitus is much louder now.

    Baking Soda

    Sorry to bump an old thread, but I saw someone on TikTok claim that taking a B-50 complex and magnesium citrate twice a day, along with a mixture of 1/2 teaspoon baking soda, 2 tablespoons organic lemon juice, and a splash of water, cured their tinnitus in 5 days. They mentioned they were...

    Has Anyone Seen a Neurologist?

    I am going to see a neurologist because I’m curious about what they will say. However, the main purpose of my visit is to try Botox treatments that they administer. I saw someone in this thread mention, “Do not go to a neurologist for an ear issue.” But is this really an ear issue? I’m not...

    I really don't care how they view me. My concern is whether Nortriptyline will make my tinnitus worse. Also, can't you simply explain the purpose of taking the drug?

    Can Blocking HCN2 Ion Channels Silence Tinnitus? RNID Funds Prof. McNaughton's Team to Find Out

    I wonder if anybody’s tinnitus stems from the inner ear. I’m inclined to say no. My friends somehow have perfect hair cells even though they went to all the same concerts and events I did. I don’t buy it. Something else is at play.

    I have had good experience with my Signia Styletto 5X. I don't think I could function without them. Disclaimer is that I don't have hearing loss, I'm not using the amplification features, only the tinnitus masking features. It doesn't really mask my T, it turns the volume of it down IMO.

    Almost 100% Cured of Hyperacusis and Tinnitus

    Congrats on healing from tinnitus. However, it is highly likely your tinnitus was going to go away anyway as you had had it for only a short time. Anything you did is very likely a coincidence. Good luck in the future. Protect your ears wherever and whenever possible.
