I'm pretty sure that whatever part of the brain that causes T, probably has another function other than just causing tinnitus. If it could be...

Wouldn't recommend it, there is still hope for you that it will go away, however, this could make it permanent.

We will hold you to this...

I've never heard of amantadine however after googling "amantadine" and "ototoxicity" there are many results. Ototoxicity is essentially drug...

Drip drying is the way forwards!

People look at me funny when I don't dry my hands after, but aside from the hearing damage, all those machines do is spray germs all over the...

This is hypercausis and is probably the worst part, it should fade which will make your T easier to habituate to, the problem with hypercausis is...

I've had two MRIs since tinnitus, to no avail :(

Hey Claudia, I thought about linking you to this post after reading it just now, looks like you beat me to it. It isn't the end of the world,...

Headphones cause my tinnitus to spike instantly, therefore I don't wear them anymore. Lots of people on here refuse to wear them, however some do...

I think you'd be better off with some proper medicated drops rather than olive oil.

I have tinnitus with no hearing loss, it started after a birthday party at a night club when I was 15 and never went away till this day (i'm 22...

I would drop the headphone use at least until your T has gone, you don't want to aggravate it, at least not in the early stages.

Most likely, if I managed to get it at 15 then I dread to think what my generation will be like by the time their 40. Although chances are, when...

Hey, You haven't had tinnitus long so you're probably just a bit over-anxious and thinking about it is causing your spike, usually with noise...

Hey, unfortunately I don't remember her name, but they just re-assured me that I wasn't going to go deaf (that was my biggest fear) they said that...

So when you get a random spike for no apparent reason and it returns to normal you assume hearing loss has occured? What about a wax build up in...

Probably refuse the medicine until you guys have tried it for at least 10 years first!

I'm not sure this is the case, while doing further damage to your hearing is likely to cause your T to be louder, it's totally possible to have a...

I tried everything, white noise, radio, pills and nothing did anything. What I suggest is you get a TV in the bedroom, it may sound counter...

I went to the cinema a few weeks ago and kept an eye on the DB levels, while it sounded pretty loud and did spike to 91db every so often during a...

I am a little frustrated by your negative attitude on every post. If the Dr said it looks swollen, and the T has spiked following a slap, once...

Hey Claudia, I was 15 when I got tinnitus following a party, I know exactly how your son is feeling right now. Part of the problem with tinnitus...

Flying with a cold is not advised, not even for people without tinnitus, however I've had to do it before. What I do is take a nasal spray once...

I have a good feeling that while a "cure" will never be found, a daily medication will be created that either reduces the volume or removes it...

Hey Katy, I think that you're getting worked up over this a bit too much, which is probably making your tinnitus louder. You see, the fact you...

Try and find a TV series on Netflix or get into a good book with some background music playing. Anything to distract you.

5-8 when I first noticed it, but it went away. 15 when it became permanent.

I'm sorry, I don't know what ETD is :( However, the best way to habituate is to get on with life and forget about it. I know it's hard because...

When I get a spike occasionally I literally tell myself to bring it on, the tinnitus doesn't bother me anymore. The H is what really winds me...

I'm not ashamed, when people ask why i'm wearing ear plugs I try and explain, most of the time this falls on deaf ears (pun intended) but if one...

Mine sounds like the noise emitted from an old school television and when those things are switched on near me it drives me insane

The fact it wasn't instant, or loud enough to hinder your meeting leads me to think that your spike is caused by your anxiety regarding this...

Your making assumptions too, they are just the complete opposite of the ones i'm making... I don't like the way you are attacking my opinion,...

Happy to continue the discussion tomorrow, but I have to sleep now, also I think we have derailed this post a bit too far. I will post a thread...

Does the fact that you could die getting into a car accident stop you from travelling anywhere? Of course not. Does the fact you could die...

The NRR for ETY•Plugs is 12 dB, which underestimates the true effectiveness of these earplugs. Clinical measurements show that properly inserted...

I was just puzzled how you would tell someone to avoid liquor while promoting alcohol in your banner?

I would recommend skipping the supplements and putting a TV in your bedroom, I know that a TV in the bedroom goes against any sleep advice you...

Let me clear something up. First of all, i'm not advocating that OP goes out clubbing if he doesn't want to (or anyone for that matter), but from...

I haven't had a hearing test in years however when I had them originally I had no hearing loss. I go out on average once to twice a month but...

The ones I use provide a 20DB reduction - These are the ones I use (search Amazon UK store) - ACS ACS-ER20 Hearing Protectors

When I first got it, it was audible 24/7 - nothing could take over, now I don't really hear it unless I think about it or i'm in a totally silent...

I think the difference with you guys is that you got tinnitus recently where as I had it a long time ago, I am really easily able to tune out of...

I sleep with the TV on and have done for 6 years, I find watching the tv distracts me and eventually I fall asleep. If you don't think about...

Most likely, i'm pretty sure that mines permanent, but I've learned to accept it. The first year was hell and after that I avoided concerts and...

I go out all the time and have had tinnitus for a few years now, take some ER20 ear plugs and don't ever take them off on the dancefloor, spend...
