Well, pain is not good. Stay away from online hearing tests and tinnitus sound examples/comparisons. Before you realize it, you damage your ears...

Pain can be delayed, even days. In my early days, I frequently noticed that I had a good day after I exposed myself to a bit more sound. Somebody...

Tinnitus is terrible today, several fleeting tinnitus periods too.

Hi Bart, Hope you are OK. May I ask which ENT prescribed you clonazepam? Thank you.

So lucky to live in Belgium, you can easily apply for euthanasia. I don't have to google for the best suicide method.

Hyperacusis and tinnitus can drive you nuts.

They should ban those annoying small yappers

I like drinking wine in the evening; it helps me. I think it is not the alcohol that causes a spike but rather some substances in the specific...

This is impossible if your tinnitus has eventually turned into "pain tinnitus." My tinnitus isn't just a sound anymore. I don't give a shit about...

My worst ear still feels like it has been slapped

I have had some bad nights for some time now, but last night, I was able to sleep pretty well and felt not that bad this morning. I was cleaning...

Massive tinnitus and headache, ibuprofen nor tramadol seem to help.

Mirror therapy might work. Tinnitus is a phantom pain/sound. [ATTACH]

Too bad it didn't bring you any relief. Where did he inject Bupivacaine? Didn't you get any relief at all, not even temporary?

ENT’s with tinnitus are the worst.

So blessed with my loving and caring wife.

Tapering down on gabapentin.

I need alcohol and i'm outta wine. Well 4-4-2024 is a good reason to crack a bottle of champagne.

I remember waking up after an eye surgery because of a retinal detachment, the beeping machines on the side of my worst ear... I would fly 12...

Yes, I have had somatosensory tinnitus (neck/jaw) since it escalated in 2018. Currently, when I just talk a bit too much, my tinnitus gets worse....

They do! Loudness hyperacusis is probably caused by the same nociceptors with the difference that you only get the uncomfortable feeling, not...

Honest? Don't go to concerts even with earplugs. It's a small sacrifice if you don't want to end up with noxacusis. If you end up with noxacusis,...

Terrible night, woke up at 1 am with loud sputtering hissing left and earache. Can it get any worse? Yes, always. Tramadol saved me.

Carbamazepine seems to have an effect on the cochlea. → Carbamazepine induces upward frequency shifts of spontaneous otoacoustic emissions

Spent 1,5 hours in the tub. What else is there to do?

Hi @Brian Newman, did you have this surgery?

I like being home alone.

Normal sounds are harmless, they said. Maybe for healthy ears, definitely not for broken ears. Whenever you feel uncomfortable with a sound, you...

Never expected me to flush the toilet with my knee and fingerplugged ears.

ENT number 6 is suggesting CBT, for noxacusis for God's sake!

I was at Brai3n in 2018. Jan Ost suggested TMS, but I said I'm not desperate enough to try something experimental like TMS, maybe in 5 years. You...

I had an online consultation with Dr. Boedts yesterday. I sent him an email earlier with my questions so I didn't have to talk too much, but...

I've been taking Magnesium Bisglycinate for the past few days and slept very well last night. I'm also more physically active.

It seems to me there is something fishy about Dr. De Koning. Previous websites have been deleted: www.minderoorsuizen.nl www.pijnhoeftniet.nl Why?

Started magnesium 6x 88mg / day

HCN2, interesting... → Intracellular Mg2+ is a voltage-dependent pore blocker of HCN channels

Ketogenic diet affects KCNQ2; that's why it might work. → Impressive efficacy of the ketogenic diet in a KCNQ2 encephalopathy infant: a case...

I'm in need for some tramadol

TRT is useless. → Effect of Tinnitus Retraining Therapy vs Standard of Care on Tinnitus-Related Quality of Life: A Randomized Clinical Trial

Talked too much with the neighbour yesterday. I find it very difficult for myself not to speak. More pain today.

@Michael Leigh, nice copy and paste. Using noise generators when having hyperacusis is like asking a patient with a root canal infection to bite...

Interesting. Was this in your mouth, the soft palate?

Hi. I'm so sorry you're going through this. One of the reasons I didn't take the COVID-19 vaccine was because I checked EudraVigilance first and...

Thank you, @annV! Here is another paper that is referenced in the previous one. For some, Lidocaine seems to have an effect (and in the cochlea)....

Another Lidocaine study. Too bad the paper is behind a paywall. → Lidocaine: neurobiological targets and effects on the auditory system

No. But back then, he only tried patching the eardrum two times.

If Botox doesn't help, you could maybe try intratympanic Lidocaine + Dexamethasone. A few years ago, I also thought it was a muscle problem;...

The cochlea https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/8741967/, just cut the nerve.

Nerve section or euthanasia, should not be a difficult decision.

Keep trying.

Trying to find a surgeon in the US who can do my trans half deaf man surgery.

Just like if you had bought gold in 2000 (x7). Indeed, real estate is a good investment, too. However, I'm selling currently, and soon, they will...

Don't take me too seriously and don't take it personal. ;) Maybe ask Prof. McNaughton if he is actually targetting spontaneous firing in small...

Gold is money; everything else is credit. Gold is the best hedge against inflation. I've been buying it since 2008. The Euro is a disaster. [ATTACH]

Maybe because your symptoms are not noise / trauma induced? Distortion Product Otoacoustic Emissions (DPOAEs) In Tinnitus Patients Audiograms...

I'll be the first, but it is very difficult to find an experienced surgeon who wants to do it. I cannot force someone to do it. Maybe if I...

I don't know if this has been discussed yet, but this is a paper from Prof. McNaughton, too. Hyperpolarization-activated cyclic nucleotide–gated...

The electrical snakepit is back.
