I really like Nichijou, a lovely, innocent yet whacky comedy anime. And Mononoke (not "Princess Mononoke"), both for the amazing animation style...
Pain x Resistance = Suffering Pleasure/Desire x Grasping = Suffering Stay mindful not to resist what feels umcomfortable, and not to grasp what...
I was watching this video on YouTube yesterday about a guy who had trigeminal neuralgia (pain being described as random ice picks into the brain,...
As @Brian Newman has suggested, I'd wait it out since you are improving very slowly. Pain hyperacusis usually does not respond to sound therapy...
Hey Chinmoku, I can't fathom the level of your suffering, but maybe this can help you a little: I did a mindfulness-based stress reduction course...
Oh no Chinmoku! I had so hoped you would benefit from this. My heart goes out to you! Still thank you a lot for your detailed report. I sincerely...
We spread awareness to people who are open to our arguments. We can't save everybody. I mean, Republicans aren't trying to win over die-hard...
An exquisite distillation of wisdom!
I remember reading that traumatized people have enhanced startle response. Sudden loud noise that leads to ear injury certainly can be...
If something is seemingly able to treat everything (going by the description on the package), it probably does the opposite (nothing at all)....
Aye, this is true for me as well. Regarding noise exposure, I should theoretically be in the last 10% to get tinnitus. Yet I have loud tinnitus,...

Setback Nr. 5 within 37 months because a dumb waitress laughed very close to my bad ear. Probably enchroaching severe level by now.
Mine worsened on day 3 as well. Just got louder, and the worsening was about equal to previous worsenings (currently the 4th).
I actually heard of somebody who had his long lasting tinnitus cured by Omicron, and it seemed credible.
Hey everyone, Just wondering, since I wasn't able to find any information on this topic: Has anyone of you had an Omicron infection? If yes, did...
Can't help myself but to comment on your Uzumaki avatar :ROFL: That one definitely stuck with me after reading it. I wonder how the anime is going...
Deep belly breathing helps me a lot, but my tinnitus is probably moderate, not severe.
The recommendation of deep abdominal breathing was a phenomenal help! Really makes a big difference.

Real good shit man. Thank you! I might eventually forward this to my ENT (if that's ok).

I tried that, but didn't really work (even though that seems like an easy explanation). Thanks everyone for your suggestions. It seems there is...
Hey everyone, I hope you're (coping) well. I had to ask my boss for an adjustment of my workplace because I work close to a busy street and...
Oh dayum... classic one. It's right there in your face but you just don't see it. :D
Actually I also had problems to find the option. Then I thought "let's try drag and drop just in case" and voila, it worked. So just drag your...
I wasn't expecting people in here to listen to Mr. Bungle (or High on Fire - Fury Whip!!!). Honestly, I just laughed at first when I listened to...

Holy shit, how the hell were you able to endure severe CFS for so long? I guess you haven't been able to work since, have you?
Enlighten me. :) My first noise trauma was more on the right side, but after my two setbacks it's harder to tell whether one is worse than the other.
About equal, maybe a bit worse on the right side.
Most modern role-play games have the option to turn on subtitles. Like Skyrim or Dragon Age Origins (a lot better than Inquisition). Skyrim and...
