My tinnitus is extremely loud. I have a Honda Civic and when I'm driving on the freeway there's a lot of road noise from the tires, but I can...

Well the manager of the bowling alley across the street knocked on my door and asked me to turn off whatever was making that high-pitched...

Mine is extremely loud. I can hear it over everything. I drive a 2007 Honda Civic. It's not a well-insulated car sound-wise, so you can hear a lot...

I realize this post is years old, but I have the same question. A couple of weeks ago my tinnitus started getting really bad. It didn't occur to...

:thankyousign: Not sure if I can quit coffee or chewing gum but I can try the B12.

My tinnitus is "screaming" tonight. Tried listening to music on YouTube. The tinnitus ruins it. It's so loud I haven't been able to enjoy music...

I don't understand how foam earplug can cause pain unless you're inserting them too deeply.

I don't know what is causing your sensation of ear fullness, but I can tell you that in my case (I had that feeling of fullness like there's water...

I can tell you what I would not do. I would not take my good hearing for granted. What I would do is protect it from loud noise very carefully.

I'm glad your dental procedure did not affect your ears. I wasn't so lucky though. I had extreme pain in my ears during a dental procedure (prep...

Was your dental procedure on a top tooth or a bottom tooth? Did you experience loud noise and pain in your ears during the procedure?

If any procedure/treatment is negatively affecting your hearing, I'd stop it immediately regardless of any positive it has otherwise. All the...

I'm at a Best Buy with my sister. She asked me to come here to help her decide on something. They have Journey playing on a stereo and it sounds...

So I went to see my ENT on June 4th. She told me she didn't do intratympanic steroid injections but her colleague did. She stepped out to consult...

I notified the board of dental examiners since I had submitted a formal complaint against the dentist. However, I still believe he should have...

It probably won't hurt, but I took Prednisone for two weeks and it did nothing for my tinnitus. Maybe it will help. Who knows? You won't know...

How am I feeling? My tooth (crown really) is fine not. The work is done. I don't anticipate ever having that tooth worked on again, so there's no...

So as I mentioned in a previous post, I picked up the crown from the dentist's office because I'm not going back to him after what happened. I...

Is that treatment available now or is that experimental?

I strongly recommend wearing earplugs before you do anything with a smoke detector or carbon monoxide detector. Regarding the frequency, I'm...

Where did you read or hear that nerves grow 1 mm per month? My understanding is that nerve cells (neurons) do not regenerate. There might be...

When I took two weeks of Prednisone my face broke out. I mentioned it to my doctor and she said Prednisone can cause acne. For me, the prednisone...

I disagree that CBT hurts any "cause". It's not as if tinnitus researchers are going to stop researching because CBT exists anymore than they are...

I think I'm about past the disbelief phase. This is just the new f****d-up reality I have to live with. :meh: The tinnitus is still loud but...

I guess I'm going to have to get a hearing aid. Not hearing clearly is just too frustrating. I'm trying to watch a movie but it's useless.

Lenire is not your last hope. The truth is your brain will naturally on its own - without you having to do anything - start to ignore the...

I didn't know what "Lenire" was. I just googled it. I think I will habituate to the tinnitus eventually. What has me so...

Pete, what happened during my dental visit must be extremely rare. That such a thing would happen and that someone would sit there an allow it...

Every night it's the same thing. Sleep for an hour or two then wake up for an hour or so, then sleep again for an hour or two and wake up. This is...

BTW, Prednisone causes acne or makes you more susceptible to it.

I awoke at 2 AM. I still can't believe this is happening, that I am now partially deaf. That's how I would describe it. I have this huge dead zone...

Wow! That is incredible. Phenergan is very commonly prescribed for nausea. Your body's extreme reaction to it must be very rare. Incredible. I...

As if my tinnitus were not bad enough already, now I'm getting an intermittent "cricket" sound in my right ear. It happens for a second and then...

@Lane Thank you for taking the time to read my post and for sharing your experience. Also I appreciate the words of sympathy. Regarding legal...

Easy answer. If it's painfully, unbearably loud, stop. The thing is that it wasn't the sound I was heard through the air. The noise was inside my...

I don't understand why that matters. How you feel about it is irrelevant to the legal aspects. Either you have a case or you don't. Why does it...

That's the crux of the problem. How would I prove it? I did not have a hearing test immediately before going to the dentist office. I did not have...

I am so f'ing angry. That damn dentist f'd up my life. I'm having difficulties at work now because I can't hear clearly on the phone. I had a call...

In an ideal world I could do that and win, but I'd have to prove my hearing loss is the result of what the dentist did. I can't prove it. The...

Thank you. I'll look into it.

A big thank you to Luman with whom I had the good fortune to meet in chat. He told me about CBT for tinnitus distress and this video about it. I...

Bill, thank you for your words encouragement. Based in my understanding of tinnitus from acoustic trauma, it's just hard for me to believe that...

I know. :( All this damage in the space of ten minutes or so in a dentist chair. I still can't believe it happened. I could hear clearly before that.

I am starting to feel an overwhelming depression. My hearing is so different now. I tried watching a TV news program this morning while sitting at...

I'm glad that worked for you.

Your cochlea sends neuroelectrical signals to your brain through the auditory nerve. Those signals are turned into a perception (sound) in your...

You can read patient reviews of doctors on this website and this website.

Part of what's strange and frustrating about this experience is that I know something catastrophic happened to my hearing. I'm not imagining or...

I heard a slow police siren in the distance. One similar to this on YouTube. When the siren went into the highest pitch the sound just...

So I've been taking Prednisone for about two weeks. Half of a tablet today and tomorrow and I'll be done. But now my ears are starting to burn...

Here's an article about vitamin D from Harvard Medical School. It doesn't address tinnitus though. My multivitamin includes 1000 IU of vitamin...

I think if you say, "I can hear it when ______", and it doesn't interfere with your life, then it's "mild". That's how mine was. I only noticed it...

I've been on steroids for a little over two weeks and I think it only helped with the pain I was having in my ears. Tomorrow I take half a pill,...

I do not want to be a member of this club. I did not ask to be a member of this club. I did not enroll myself in this club. :banghead: I'm...

I did not know tinnitus could be this freaking loud. And the lonely thing about it is that no one will ever understand how loud my tinnitus is or...

Psychologically my mind/brain rejects this hearing loss. It's like, "No. It can't be. Something should be there."

Yeah either it will settle down or you'll let used to it (habituate) again. Could your anxiety be making it worse? I'm not qualified to say, but I...

Again I awake in the middle of the night to blaring squealing and very noticable nothingness whereas before I could hear environmental sounds....

I can understand that. It happened only a few weeks ago for me, so I very clearly remember the horrible screeching noise that caused my hearing...
