Alexander: So your vaccine-related tinnitus spike dissipated?

Did your tinnitus ever improve?

I found one at Yonge/Eglinton: Dr. Sugar. He has both laser and traditional dentistry options. I actually went to him for a consult, found him to...

I've been to a couple musicals since developing tinnitus. Wore plugs to both, and would definitely recommend that. The lights really depends on...

Not that I'm trying to make JCH rich, but let me pose two scenarios: 1. A man devises a program for tinnitus that helps take the edge off the...

So, I just downloaded the app... and there is TONNE of free content on there. Audio, video, meditations... you don't have to appreciate the...

*Shrug*

Yeah, sorry Michael - as you suspected, I didn't see your post until now. Glad some of what I said was helpful. It makes sense that you'd...

*Shrug* I guess I'm with @linearb here in believing the world has greater evils in it than this. Indeed, if the biggest damage here is that he...

I'll be honest, I've watched a number of his YouTube videos - all of which are free - and have found them to be broadly helpful. Are they "a...

ELI5: The title sounds super exciting, but this study looks to have run *zero* tinnitus patients. What they have done is designed a system that...

ELI5: Another resting-state study. This one has calculated a measure of 'signal frequency' within the resting state brain activity of the auditory...

@Daniel Lion ELI5: This paper is actually hot off the press, and only exists in abstract form at the moment. So I can only go by what's in the...

ELI5: This study measured the "functional connectivity" of the brain's "resting-state networks" in 40 tinnitus and 40 non-tinnitus participants....

Happy to have a look at it, yes.

Are you able to get out much brightside? Obviously super noisy environments are no good, but just getting out of the house, going for a walk,...

Bump. Anyone else have any thoughts regarding decongestants?

I just went to the dentist, and specifically asked that they not use the ultrasonic scaler. My hygienist was happy to oblige, and just worked on...

I'm right there with you brightside. I'm at 5 1/2 months myself, and also suffer from a high pitch that is on/off maskable. While I think I saw...

Not sure I agree on this. There are a few well-funded labs in the tinnitus field, but there are many more starving scientists that just wish they...

If I can try to sum up slightly: I think that whether you listen to it, you mask under it, or you mask over it, may depend entirely on the type...

Yes, I think this is what I'm experiencing (I mean, I think so... hard to know, but little tiny electric zaps seems about right). My money, sadly,...

This absolutely applies to research priorities mrbrightside614. Not sure it helps us control those priorities, but what you've said is bang on...

This is exactly right. Our leverage, our currency, is our selves. *WE* are what the researchers need to conduct their research. And so, yes, we...

Woohoo! *High fives self* If you'll allow the feedback Pete, I'd suggest that this may be the wrong question. That's different than saying your...

Yes, this fits I think. You had a stressful period and got a weird symptom like this. And going away in a month seems about right too (because...

Doesn't seem to, no. I do have a lonnnng history of lower back/nerve issues, including all kinds of sciatic problems. So I'd certainly not...

We're one of the top, though I think the Scandinavian countries always get top spots, with us and Australia in around the 2nd best levels....

Hmmm, interesting question. I just took out the stopwatch on my phone and measured a few intervals: 1:28 0:33 1:02 0:53 So, I guess faster than...

Ha, yes, I got the same advice, though at least my audiologist admitted that it was probably not going to do anything, but might as well...

No disrespect intended (thought I recognize it may not be interpreted that way), but there's been a little voice in my head asking me whether we...

I'll take Pete's side on this one: private health care in Canada *is* starting to exist, but it's expensive and I'd doubt that Pete is in a...

Man becomes ambidextrous! Success story! :)

As slight humour Bartoli, the attached picture is now what I assume you are wearing to work.

I understand Bartoli. I didn't really know that wind noise on a bike would be a problem. But you're right that it certainly can be for...

Pete, you're in Toronto, aren't you? Have you gone to the Canadian Hearing Society near Casa Loma? They offer cheap TRT and are booking into next...

I still grind every morning with an electric. But I cover my ears tight during the event.

Hi @MichaelP @Michael Leigh does know an awful lot on this topic. And so you should hear him and consider his thoughts. I do, often (and as you...

I don't have experience working there, but I can tell you that as a customer I try to sit as far from the coffee grinder as possible because that...

Hi Michael, I think, as you said, that your thread got moved in here, and that led to a bit of confusion - I was actually thinking that I was...

How long have you had your symptoms for Michael? I think everyone's course is a bit different, but many people find that their symptoms reduce or...

I expect 25s would be more than enough for the situations you describe (except weddings). Indeed, in time I would expect you'll be able to do with...

Shopping carts are the worst. I put in plugs whenever I approach a grocery store, partially on auto pilot, because invariably someone will...

Hi Bartoli. My tinnitus is also very high pitched. Not quite 12.5, but in around 11.3 I believe. High enough, to be sure. Whether it's as loud as...

This is the key @PeteJ. This is a support group, where we all set out to support each other. It's not a help line where the volunteer is only...

No, it is not. It's only mildly mean. And it's not even remotely untrue. You need to take a really good look in the mirror Pete. You've lost...

How about this then Pete: why don't you let us know what it is you'd like us to say. Because clearly nobody is telling you what you want to hear,...

What was your latest acoustic trauma?

That's okay Pete, they were rhetorical.

So you've tried these things Pete? You tried CBT? You tried TRT? You know they won't work because *you tried them* and they didn't work? How...

Final update: I'm 100% recovered from the noise exposure, and have been experiencing some off my lowest, least reactive tinnitus days since...

I think if the fridge hum removes your tinnitus, you have mild tinnitus. Like 2-3/10.

How come you've changed your tune so much Bill?

@mick1987 Good luck, and thank you for keeping us posted: your experience may be important for some of us in the future.

Indeed! [Would love to see fairies dancing on the head of a pin too; sadly, I'm not sure which is less likely] ;) Best evidence we have is likely...

Please excuse my ignorance, but why would you ever want to 'listen to your tinnitus'?

Ear plugs and headphones can't help the vibrational sound that occurs through your bones during dental drilling. If anything, they could actually...

A relevant question: if the Ketamine does work, but only temporarily, will Columbia ENTs be able to proscribe you more? Will you get specialized...
