yo mafk who stealin my Snake Plissken avatar up in here

Jesus H Christ the hate the doctor is getting for not wanting to take a drug to treat a symptom for which it has no proven benefit. These...

I would consider myself "habituated" even though I hear my tinnitus often and loud. It's just when I do hear it - which, as I say, is often - I...

Sincere condolences. I think we've all been there at some point or another. I urge anyone with these feeling to seek professional help - it...

Just chipping in here to say I've been taking fluoxetine (prozac) at 20mg/day for the past month and a half and have already seen a great...

I was exposed to a clap right overhead during the storms about a month ago, T didn't spike at all - I mean this was really right overhead, the...

Yeah, I'm close to the Manchester centre, I'll try contacting them. @attheedgeofscience You say all the side effects are transitory, but in Fig....

There is no reason to believe that if you have T or hearing damage, you are more susceptible than a "normal" person to further hearing damage.

hey hey hey hey hold on something just got me excited I was pretty disappointed to find out that, as a 16 year old, I would be ineligable for...

This is true, but faster approval is generally reserved for drugs needed urgently... Don't get me wrong, I think a better T treatment *is* needed...

I have T in both ears. Sleeping on one side vs. the other causes no difference in T volumes the next day in either ear. I wouldn't worry about it.

Depends on how shit a day I'm having! I practically never hear it whilst outside though, and I would almost never hear it in the shower. In most...

Probably the TFI (Tinnitus Functional Index), a questionnaire used to gauge the severity of impact tinnitus has on a patient's life - tests like...

Isn't furosemide potentially ototoxic? Just off the top of my head. Either way it's good to see researchers taking multiple avenues of approach...

I have thought about it and, to me, it seems very unlikely that this is the case. My reasoning could be totally wrong, but here's how I see it....

Bear in mind that most of these unpredictable loud noises will not damage your hearing, even after repeated exposure. E.g. A door slamming is...

@Erlend Thanks, that's the info I was looking for. Whether or not there is any mechanical feature of the drug's operation that would make it...

Hi I have experience with codeine, paracetamol, and ibuprofen after T onset. None of them caused even a temporary spike. I think ibuprofen is...

Yeah, can anyone provide an answer to this? The article explains why those with genetic deafness/deafness from birth would not benefit, but not...

No data on that yet... But I can only echo the sentiment of many when I say I'd happily swallow 50 pills a day to silence T.

Don't knock it man, this is actually showing some promise. Sometimes the thought that maybe I will have access to treatments like this sometime...

lol. I would take a T cure if it involved chopping off my right arm.

Exactly where are we with this treatment at the moment? Have human efficiacy trials began? I struggle to get excited about something that, for all...

Hi, question about this treatment. Some treatments like this and acoustic neuromodulation require the patient to be able to pinpoint the exact...

I had an extremely stressful period of time leading up to onset of T, it seems many report similar occurences. It's definitely a factor.

Hi, sorry I'm late to this thread, I have a question. I know AM-101 is being investigated as a treatment for acute T. Unfortunately I can't join...

I'm too tired to respond to that, suffice to say I'm not impressed. Simply saying "well i took out my earplugs and gee whiz it seemed too loud" is...

This sounds like classic psuedoscience. I would love to see a reliable source that proves damage happens "years after exposure" and at "much lower...

Genuine question: through what mechanism can sounds that would in no circumstances damage hearing (<85DbA) cause a permanent increase in tinnitus...

Are you LeDucky from /r/tinnitus?

I agree with Rich. The whole "in the ear for 6 months, in the brain after" seems so arbitrary to me. It's clear that T is a neuroscience problem...

Is there a link to the UK study? Are they recruiting?

My T has been louder since the first dental op (w/ lidocaine) and I'm going to have another in a few days. Is there anything to be done? I can't...

Tell you the truth? I feel kinda silly... I know a lot of docs still view T as no big deal, and of course they would say I should still take my meds.

I really wish there was more awareness too - not sure I'd off myself for it though. But to be fair, look at it rationally from a non-sufferers...

Yo folks I would appreciate an answer. The antibiotics question is urgent.

How in the hell could that have caused it? My inclination would be that your doctor is right, that has absolutely nothing to do with audiology.

I have mid frequency and high frequency pure tones in both ears, plus a filtered sound-type thing in my right ear and a morse code thingy also in...

I know exactly what you mean with the ringing that accompanies every sound. All I can say is I had it for a while when my T started, then it went...

Does this mean what I think it means? Surely not...

Tinnitus is not "intrinsically bad". It is often compared to pain, but that's not really a valid comparison, because pain can be an indication of...

I'm sorry you feel that way dude but TRT really helped me. I know someone who suffered for over a year, before finding total relief with TRT, and...

I am one of those 20%. Funny because I always took special care of my hearing and here I am with chronic T at 16. Makes you wonder if there's a...

Didn't seem to help me! Major caffeine habit for years before my T started.

I don't think it will just stop :( Really I am not optimistic for a "cure" either. Seriously, I may be wrong, but a tinnitus cure seems like never...

Some people report that weed makes it better, or eliminates it. Some report that it makes it worse, and some even think weed started their...

@citigirl13 No idea how I got it. Just happened. Hearing is perfect for someone of my age. No loud bangs or head injury. Noticed it at night,...
