You’ll be fine. 95 dB impulse noise is far from dangerous. My tinnitus is quite reactive and I have never had any issues with any spikes...

Hey @defender, i don’t know how it occurred - it just started gradually. I actually did not take the antibiotics because i went to another...

I don’t know if this helps you but my tinnitus eventually did get better after a few months. The refrigerator hum is basically gone. Still got...

You should definitely stop using noise-canceling headphones. If you search this forum you’ll find they have aggravated tinnitus for quite a few...

Hey Rust. How have you been doing since then? Did your tinnitus spike subside eventually?

Supposedly they are but when it comes to tinnitus a lot of things that „aren’t supposed to happen“ actually do happen and you never know when or...

I am not a doctor nor am I claiming to be able to give medical advice. But I used to work in the scientific field and consider myself somewhat...

No one?

The bad news is that you will probably have to learn some new skills. The good news is that there are many different types of remote jobs that...

No, I try to stay off any medication. I have Melatonin here but I never used it...

I wake up every night between 3 and 5 am. It’s hard to get back to sleep. Most days I just surf the internet until it’s time to get up. It is...

I also suspect vibration to have caused a really bad spike for me. I was getting a tattoo finished last week and although I never had any issues...

Update Day 10 after the incident: Spike has not gone down at all. Actually, I feel it has even increased in the last 2 days. I have taken NAC for...

Hey Rhea, I initially also thought that it can’t possibly have been long enough to actually hurt my ear. But it seems it did anyway. It’s day 7...

Hard to say. In hindsight I believe this one was more caused by stress and anxiety than actual hearing damage. I think it was a few weeks though.

I can relate so much to this. That’s basically my story as well. Only that it was an ambulance with sirens passing very close to me. My spike is...

I did not end up taking Prednisone, I am just too scared that it will only add to the spike (as it did before). I do take NAC 600 mg daily now,...

I have had mixed experiences with Prednisone. It seemed to spike my tinnitus even more on 2 occasions. I had an IV course with 3x 500mg that did...

Sorry for digging this up but I am also contemplating starting to ride motorcycles again. I sold my Harley in 2016 when my tinnitus got really bad...

Update: I have been prescribed Cotrim which is the same as Bactrim if I am not mistaken. I searched the forums for Bactrim and there's...

This is actually the first time I ever heard of this calculation method. it doesn't seem to make much sense: 30dB NRR are actually only 11.5dB...

Try refrigerator noise on YouTube. Works for me!

Until last week I would have answered: I would definitely be cool with that and probably live a life 99% as happy as anyone else. Now my tinnitus...

I still just can’t figure out how this can possibly have been too loud for my ears? I mean even if it were up to 105 dB in the low frequencies...

Yes, it did, although I do experience ear fullness from time to time for no apparent reason...

Hey! I‘m actually not really active here anymore. My tinnitus went down eventually (although it’s still worse than 2 years ago), but I’m doing...

Hey TC, Sorry, I actually am really busy atm but I still think we should give this open letter thing a shot. If you want to go for a draft please...

The problem with these oral regimen of steroids is that when compared to a control group they really do not make any statistically significant...

Considering that his tinnitus was caused by Mèniere's I wouldn’t throw my hopes out of the window just yet. Mèniere's might very well be a rather...

Can we push this again? I honestly do believe that we need to draw their attention to this!

They did acoustic reflex on one ear and tympanometry on both. Left ear is definitely worse a bit but I think right ear is affected as well. Also...

I also found out only by VERY explicitly asking that they tend to do tympanometry and acoustic reflex as a 2-in-1. I declined the test to be done...

Könnte man fast annehmen.... :/

I‘d say: no. I probably have mild ETD too. But now I have SEVERE tinnitus on top of that because of the tympanometry. So definitely not worth it.

That's cool. But as long as that hasn't been proven to be an effective treatment against tinnitus on a larger scale I think we shouldn't just lean...

I think @another sean is on the right path with his idea. We need audiovisual content that triggers emotion. Heck, I have had tinnitus for 21...

I totally agree with you. Remember that Rick & Dick Hoyt video? Makes me cry every single time I watch it. I don't want to sound heartless or...

Ok, give me a few days, ok? Maybe that's the issue then? How can you not know it's a fundraiser? Needs better communication then! Ok, should we...

Sorry to hear that - did your tinnitus turn down a bit after the tympanometry or did it stay the same all the time? p.s. Ich seh gerade, auch aus...

I wrote them on Facebook but got a standard reply (I guess). They have no definitive date set but hope to roll out in 2019... so I don't think...

After I had my tinnitus worsened by tympanometry last week (still hope it's just spiking) I took prednisolone twice (60mg Saturday evening and...

Hey Markku, I will try to do my best. I have already reached out to Joe Rogan and asked him to do a podcast with someone from tinnitus research....

How long did it take to resolve?

I don’t know exactly. During the day it’s not as bothering so I guess a „richer“ sound environment masks it better. The last 2 nights were hell...

Actually it’s really hard to mask and I‘m wide awake now. It’s 3:30 a.m. here...

While I do believe that this CAN be the case I'd strongly advise not to take this mindset with you on your path. As long as we don't have a cure,...

Yes, I have heard of tinnitus caused by earwax buildup. Let a doc check it BUT BEWARE: Under NO CIRCUMSTANCES let the doctor remove the earwax by...

I don't know about potential ototoxicity of Robitussin and couldn't find any hints on the internet either. What I did find though was a warning...

Whats even more important: It doesn't even matter on a practical scale. Did you burn your hand because the fire was hot or because you put your...

I've been sleeping in the hallway last night actually because that's the only room that has no direct window to the outside. These crazy loud...

Had an MRI done a few weeks after my tinnitus worsened considerably in 2015. The machine was actually kind of loud but not crazy loud. I wore only...

Well, Penicillin was discovered by accident, so I'd try not to be too pessimistic. Sometimes it works just the other why round - something works...
