It's been almost 4 weeks after my second Moderna shot. No side effects after the first shot. The day after the second shot, I felt chills and my...

Any country is fucked when run by the First Liars, First Circus, First Bullies, ...

Agreed except for the "Donald Trump" part. For me, and I'm sure for pretty many as well, this election is not about Democrats vs Republicans. All...

Not only does Trump divide the country, he is dividing us as well. I was proud to be an American until Trump. I so desparately want to be proud again.

Of if you can locate a spot with reasonable physical separation between your computer and yourself, such as a closet or behind a wall, you can use...

@xyz Nebivolol seems to have less side effects, hope that's true. Did you develop T before or after taking Nebivolol? and what's your dosage?

Sounds like you take this as needed for occasional anxiety? To control blood pressure, propranolol probably needs to be taken consistently and at...

@GregCA BTW, what is your dosage?

I wish there is. I dont know what else can control high blood pressure, other than eating healthy and exercising and hoping for the best, which...

Thanks for chiming in @GregCA @DebInAustralia. I went through all posts here regarding propranolol and it seems to be the least negative blood...

Hi @Amv I realize that's an old post. Would you mind sharing your experience with propranolol and whether it affects your tinnitus or not?

Hi @all to gain Did a search on propranolol and this post came up. Was wondering if you are still on propanolol? If yes, how long you've been...

I also had "burning ear" soon after my T started, when my good ear will suddenly feel full and turn completely red and hot. My T ear will be...

Not all sound waves hitting the ear drums get through to the inner ear, a portion get bounced back. If the concealed nature of earbuds or...

I'm sure many will find this post encouraging. But for me who believes in facts and stats and have seen the odds, it's a slap in the face by a new...

RIP Allan. We understood.

Famous people are no different from us when it comes to tinnitus. If they have it, they need to cope, protect their ears, avoid loud noises and...

This is the worst possible sin doctors and drug companies can commit, by giving potential life long suffering for profits or 'I know what I'm...

I never understand how forgiving perpetrator helps one heal. I mean how is that different from letting murderers go without punishments?...

I never buy that theory. I find it hard to believe that the brain will do something so stupid. The brain just interprets what comes its way, which...

@Lynny If I am correct that you're young, then we are decades apart in age, but yet, the mental ruins inflicted by T on me are exactly the same,...

try this: close yourself out in a room or in a car, listen to the stereo at normal volume, then put on your hear protection, you will be surprised...

If your passion is not music, then it's not worth the risk. Internship accelerates career, but you can always wait for another opportunity....

Mine is the name of a Japanese dollar shop (not exactly a dollar for everything though) where we love to shop at. Looks like people are having...

When I lie down flat and about to fall asleep or about to wake up from sleep, my right ear would make a grumbling noise and I believe it was...

Bad advice, true. On the other hand, doctors telling patients it will go away in weeks or months is worse advice. Doctors giving either types of...

For years I had trusted my custom earplugs but always suspicious about their effectiveness regardless of their ratings because I can still hear...

When resources are limited, everything goes by priority. An effective treament or even a cure in T is our priority, but nothing in general publics...

For decades, I pay income tax, property tax, sales tax, medicare tax, social security tax, and on and on. Even though I never get a penny back...

That would work for me, but they are mostly shortlived activities. On the other hand, basic chores work really well for me. I seem to be able to...

That's probably true for most, but for others like myself, my T reacts to the treadmill humming by trying to be louder and then linger afterwards.

Mine spike as well after on the treadmill, but it's much more likely to do with the treadmill noise than cardio since it's just normal pace...

Maybe I'm habituating or maybe I'm not, keeping myself busy around the house definitely keeps my tinnitus under control and sometimes to the point...

@jjflyman do you not notice your t even when reading or watching tv in a silent surroungings? or only when you are engaged in some activities? If...

It's not uncommon to see people develop ringing during pregnancy, if you google it. I know of one whose ringing disappeared after a few months of...

@hans799 I am just like what you described. I don't really hope for a drug though, not because I don't want it, but what if it is ototoxic? Pretty...

And I assume the conference call was at "normal" volume? We dont always get spikes from "normal" sounds without protection, but when we do, we so...

This list is surprisingly short. I would imagine at least a 10-fold. Now here is the real shame. Knowing that loud music caused their own T and...

For a long time, I thought musician ear plugs (custom made in hospital audiology department) are great. I had three replaceable pucks with ratings...

This will make a good research topic, either a myth or fact. It seems like a myth but I would rather be safe than sorry.

How does anyone tell whether their T spikes due to food or just its fluctuations? Unless your T's reaction to food is spontaneous, it's hard to...

I don't believe in the brain "intentionally" generating tinnitus when starved of noise nor in the theory of recruitment. I'm a scientific person...

Having used all sorts of ear protection, i have come to conclusion that custom ear plugs, mine made at a hospital audiology department, is a false...

I used mats for plates, which help somewhat. I missed watching movies, which I couldn't enjoy anymore.

Yes it is, more so than the stories about T fading or disappearing. It's people's accounts like this that fuel confidence.

From what I have read, tinnitus "spreading" from T ear to good ear seems to be the norm rather the exception, myself included. My own theory is...

I wouldn't have such lack of respects (full of despise is actually more accurate) for ENTs, or any doctors for that matter, if not for their...

ibuprofen is known to be ototoxic.

People come here either to receive support or provide support or check out how the tinnitus community is doing in general. Absolutely no reason...

Dont just think about yourself. The loudness can be damaging even to people who have no T yet. Think about potential damages to your loved ones...

Loudness is only one factor in determining whether certain sounds are safe or not. Pitch and duration are just as important. Experts handwave a...

@Shelley You said you still hear it if you listen for it. Is it still as loud? or has it come down enough that makes it much eaiser to ignore?

If you can go back in time and tell yourself "dont go there" or put on your earplugs, would you listen? If you answer yes, that's exactly the...

That's my biggest fear too! It's just unimaginable. I'd rather be dead than to see my children suffer and I'm dead serious. If I really have to...

People also get complacent if continuing headphone use, concerts going even with plugs, exposing to loud noises, do not worsen their T. Guess...

@CrystalB although I dont have H, I do have vibration sensation with my ringing ear. The vibration sensation increases with certain types of low...

@BobDigi So you can hear your ringing while watching TV and still manage to be not bothered? I too have vibration sensation along with ringing in...
