Thanks, did you measure them or would you say that's an estimate?
For most I would expect lying down (on their side) makes them more sensitive. Have you had any jaw issues TMJ etc?
How does one gain access to this and what sort of questions does it ask?

I would strongly suggest a very slow taper of Benzodiazepines at 5-10% a month.

Yeah, I noticed an extremely strong correlation with mixing other drugs such as painkillers when taking mirtazapine.
Thanks for your reply. I hope you don't equate my input as anything other than contributory. I an also being terse as there is much more to say...
Hi Michael, have you ever noticed a sudden fleeting spike during your time with tinnitus? I experience sudden loss of sound, fullness then a loud...
For a start, I just don't believe that is true or at least to the degree people might lead you to believe. The reason tinnitus causes suffering...
I'm well aware. Someone posted on Thursday, so I thought I would give input since many people are likely to see it now. Of course if you are...
A few things here. If you are referring to my comment, then you I never claimed that nobody should take them. They should be used very briefly...
You seem to misunderstand my statement and also equate hope with promise. There is no debate that as we experience a stretch of time, our...
Benzodiazepines are NOT an option for any sort of treatment for tinnitus and giving people anecdotal evidence of it calming your tinnitus is not a...
It's an absolute certainty that you will feel differently or have a another perspective on the situation given time. It was about two years of...

It doesn't work like that in the UK unfortunately, there are waiting times. Also I'm worried their tests won't show the hearing loss as it seems...

I don't think so to be honest. I find it strange that many articles link tinnitus to hearing loss because hey don't go into why someone has...
Hearing tests are not meaningless, but I agree they are limited. Also telling someone there might be hidden hearing loss without evidence is...
There are a great ton of cases where there is no (long term) hearing loss associated with the tinnitus. I for one had hearing loss that I thought...
