If you bought Jastrebroff’s book, don’t feel too upset or that you wasted money. It can still serve a purpose as toilet paper, something more akin...
I was not satisfied with my experience. One made me worse, the rest hadn’t a clue what they were even looking at. Not a good sign when you spot...
I had never used headphones in my life. One time when I did have to use them (hearing test), they blasted white noise (speech recognition test)...
Not necessarily true, my uncle got tinnitus when he was 18, he’s 60 now, I think? Anyway, it’s no worse now than it was when he was 18. At least...
Great! Can’t wait for absolutely nothing to come of it, as always. More money in drumming up attention than actually trying to achieve something....
Couldn’t agree more, ENTs, neurologists, doctors, you name it, know absolutely nothing about tinnitus/hyperacusis here, only what they read...
It is and it isn’t completely different. I’m not an expert. I’m going off of my brother’s experience who got grommets in years ago and my mate who...
Trust me, they can. It just takes a while. I don’t want to be graphic or anything but when they put that earwax softening stuff into my ears, my...
The thing is they don’t actually HAVE to suction it out. It’s just the fastest, most effective way but not necessarily the only way. When I...
Suction increased my tinnitus drastically in late 2013. I had to get impacted wax out and NEVER again would I do it. I had no idea it was...
I hate any treatment that proves to be “effective” during the acute phase. How do they know it wasn’t just a natural reduction? When I first got...
I’d like to see how this possibly helps hyperacusis/noxacusis too but, after reading through his response, I’m a little confused. He says he...
I get residual inhibition. My tinnitus screams when I wake up and then actually quietens and disappears when sound is introduced and then...
The thing is though we’re not repairing them or “fixing” most of them, we’re bypassing them or creating new hair cells beside the damaged old hair...
There’s been a nagging thought in my head about regeneration of the inner ear since I was exposed to this line of research and it’s this... The...
When you get tired of people telling you the wrong answer is actually the correct answer you just lose your patience with it over time lol, that...
But that’s the thing Michael, my opinion is coming from bitter experience and experience being that I too was led down that Jastrebroff route and...
Hi, yes, I take it everyday, twice daily, slightly more if needs be. I was a severe 10/10 case, so bad that I was living in a cupboard with...
Have to say reading this thread gave me one hell of a laugh, after all these years there’s actually still dudes trying to convince people that a...
Yes and no, honestly it can be quite bizarre. My tinnitus reacts to sound the moment I wake up but then goes quieter the more sound I’m around,...
I’m so severe that using ear plugs and earmuffs make literally no difference, only in a select few situations do they actually come in handy,...
Not that it’s any of my business but I don’t think even a teen with perfect hearing should use headphones, those things are ear molesters and I...
I was ok the last few years, ever since I disappeared but I was living a very quiet lifestyle doing a little more every year to get to some form...
Yes, a few days after my initial noise exposure there was a sudden pop in the back of my head followed by a warm feeling. To this day I can...
Well hi, been awhile but yes I am somehow still alive lol. Anyone who was looking for me feel free to message me.
Thanks for all the advice guys I really appreciate it but I'll just give you some backround on our relationship and what's currently going on....
[ATTACH] I use the MiMi hearing test and as Lymebite pointed out it has been somewhat buggy since the update. What I do is this, I do the MiMi...
I am just lost right now and really need some solid hard advice as I simply don't know what to do anymore. My girlfriend broke down crying and...
Music just sounds harsh to me now, last year even with H it was still somewhat enjoyable but now it's just torture and unpleasant. It sounds the...
I'm absolutely shocked, I never knew he was that ill, his positivity and strength would blind any of us here to that, he was so happy and helpful...
[ATTACH] [ATTACH] [ATTACH] He mentioned it rather briefly in one of our exchanges via email so I took the time to do my own research on the...
Judging by what Libermann told me it's entirely possible to lose synaptic connections without haircell loss and vice versa. This to me explains...
Hey Ramki, doing ok for now, still extremely depressed and mourning my old life but I'm somewhat stable at the moment. How are things for you, T...
I think if they developed a way of imaging a live human cochlea we would be leaps and bounds ahead on research by now but unfortunately that is...
o_O I just call them ear farts nowo_O
Yes that's fleeting T, a lot of people here experience it on and off but it's not permanent 95% of the time. I get it too, just sit back and give...
What does citing a paper mean Aaron? It's just something I've always wondered about, is it a good or bad thing to cite a paper?
I'm the guy in the middle and believe me I useless at football:)
You could also look into round window reinforcement for your H, I'm getting it done shortly so will let you know how things work out.
I've read your posts Blue and all I can recommend is Ativan. It's a benzo so not a long term solution but it literally turns my T off and reduces...
It sucks man, there simply is no way to protect yourself at the dentist unless you ask them to drill on and off but even then it's a risk. I was...
@Michael Leigh TRT is just a supportive bandage for people who develop T and or H and takes all the credit for any recovery that may come.If the...
Both, my T went from severe to barely audible within a year, my H recovered by about 85% I would say. High pitched noises were uncomfortable, I...
It's hard to know what noise will be the straw to break the camels back, it's impossible to know Candy so try not to worry too much.
Don't bother with it Foncky, seriously don't waste your money on TRT. I met with two skilled audiologists in 2014 when I developed H and louder...
Best advice I ever got when I first developed T was this, "Don't sit and wait for things to get better, when your anxiously waiting for something...
Needed psychiatric help? This coming from someone who has made multiple profiles on TT just so they can troll complete strangers in order to get...
I'm referencing Libermanns theory on synaptopathy or hidden hearing loss causing T and H even with normal audiograms. They have proven that these...
Even when I had mild T I didn't go to loud bars if there was music playing or not! I would walk in and if it was loud I was just leave. My best...
Make music Razah as you may regret not doing so later in life. What I mean is, right now you can make music on low volume, you technically can...
He's still kicking and fighting, guys a true hero. Are you as bad as him?
I mean I had mild T for three years then H came in but still had mild T so I never truly understood the suffering of thst makes sense. Now I...
Yes. If you developed T and H from an acoustic trauma your ears ARE more susceptible to damage or re-injury. I'm a case in point, recovered...
Mild Tinnitus for three years(2011-2014) Then an unexpected worsening came in January, ear suction increased my T in my right ear heavily and as...
Honestly no, most investigations will begin with an audiogram and other hearing tests and if they're clear they'll tell you it's not your hearing....
You never count your current blessings till they're gone.
Maybe have her look into round window reinforcement for her H, it's helped people tolerate more levels of sound so that may boost her life a little.
I hate threads like these I really do. My family are battling to keep me alive at this current moment in time and to see it painted as"no big...
Also your right about T being cured, I know off the top of my head of at least 6 people who cured their T, not habituate but cured like you said.
Why were your chances lower Greg might I ask? At least it toned down your H so that's a bonus.
