Same for me. Headphones/earbuds are now strictly off limits.

Agreed. Great poster and person. Thanks CB for all your many helpful and sincere posts.

How do you cut these pills for smaller doses? Especially into 1/8ths? Won't the pill just crumble into bits at that size? Don't they make...

@RichL I think maybe the rough idea of stress causing it, is, perhaps, that the normally functioning 'inhibitors' of the brain fail to to do...

It doesn't, huh? Well what if you get your stress well under control within a year's time? And your T was very mild to begin with? Any chance...

I would totally take it very easy on your ears for a long time. No iPod, no concerts, no nothing. Live your life, but avoid loud sounds. This...

@dan So you're saying if we can eliminate the stress, we can eliminate the T, and restore the balance?

What I'm most curious is about people who have hearing loss, and damaged hair cells, and yet who don't get T. If so, how can that be? If they...

Indeed. What is psychogenic T?

What I was thinking as I listened to his presentation, was how this latest science is all about regenerating hair cells, of course. And as well...

I don't know if this question has been asked or covered. But do people who have hearing loss not get T? Whether it's minor or moderate or...

[MEDIA] And this guy, this eminent Stanford ENT guy, apparently has T himself. He didn't have much to say when someone asked him about Tinnitus...

And how! We're all pulling for him, and everyone fortunate enough to be part of this trial. Best of luck!!

Right. I forgot about that. But as far as a temporary threshold shift, that's the sort of thing when you come home from a rave, or some other...

How do you take this before the onset of T?

Well autifony themselves are presenting this drug as being for chronic patients, so I'd like to think they really mean it. And that the concept...

I think so. Which is different I suppose than cochlear damage. They'd have to give them T first. Which would constitute cruel and unusual...

I thought they had a pretty good methodology for feeling like they really had induced T effectively in rats? Obviously there's no way to ask them...

@ Dr. Nagler You are very, very appreciated at this website. I just want to say that and remind of you that. Thank you for everything you do...

Is getting a cleaning okay?

@Penelope33 don't be frightened. If you really got your T like you say did, the real cause would be for more psychological reasons, the sort of...

Good for you @Martin69 I'm happy you had some relief and a more enjoyable day. Are you excited for the World Cup? Does Germany have a chance? :)

Fascinating article. As far as T goes, I'm still not sure how this affects the potential efficacy of autifony and AM 101, the two main 'cures'...

@citigirl13 Mine has occasionally gotten so quiet I can barely hear it, even when cupping my ears. Usually if I'm in a genuinely good mood,...

Your vestibular system is in your ear too. And if that gets damaged to0 somehow, then I guess you could have balance issues.

I would imagine it's a just general term. Yes, T is "permanent". That's the deal, generally speaking. But as far as a 6 month cut-off point? I...

Heck in five years there will probably be a cure/treatment. Just another reason to keep your head up, keep coming back to the board for support...

An ENT nurse actually tried to tell you NOT to bother with trying to clear out your tubes, because it won't do anything about your T? Wow....

That is fantastic news! Could you elaborate a little more on the medicine you used? I might try the same thing! But great news! Aren't you...

Wow. That's great. You need to talk to @attheedgeofscience. He would be the first to congratulate you. And so do I!

@citigirl13 Great post with great advice. Chandler, listen to these wise hands.

Hang in there, Lynn. Stay strong. I just wanted to mention my ears seem to be getting a little sensitive. And loud, sharp sounds are a...

Indeed. And you weren't under stress, nothing? LOL! Yours truly must have been a random case of 'idiopathic' T with no known cause. I can't...

Maddy, please keep us posted. What did your doctors tell you about ETD and T? Any additional information would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

I know it seems almost impossible, but I'm sure you can eventually habituate to this, as terrible as it may be. The goal is to accept it, if not...

So you vouch for Clonazepam too? That's it, I'm going to get some. And @demi, hang in there. You sound like a real sweetheart. I'm sure...

@MattK I'm not sure how much real 'sensitivity' I had/have either. I think it could be psychological, and once you get it in your head that...

I'm very sorry about these developments. But you did it before, and you can do it again. Even though it sucks. Stay strong, stay committed,...

One thing about so-called fleeting T, why does everyone say they go totally deaf for that few seconds they get the ringing? I was under the...

I think the drug is working. @cullenbohannon is a smart, level-headed guy, and he's only had it for a few months. He would know the difference....

Thanks for the reply. I can certainly say from my own recent experience with doctors that I can't disagree with you too much. Arrogance, and...

Yeah, but mine started doing it more and more in the last year, with almost every swallow. And I noticed it then, like I was coming down from a...

How do you know all this?? What I mean is, if what you're saying is true, why don't any ENTs seem to know this? This isn't merely...

What do you mean it will never go away? My ears have been crackling for about a year now, and I only got my T a little over a month ago. The...

Similar to mine. I get the occasional high-pitched whine, definitely get the crickets. Plus I often/usually have a ocean roar/seashell sound....

Wow, I'm exactly like you, the first few days to a week I was pretty cool with it. The first couple of nights I slept a full night's sleep. It...

When you say managed and treated, you mean the T as well? Like, if you handle the ETD problems, the ringing goes right along with it?

@MattK Hey Matt, one other question. What was your T like? Was it loud or soft or steady or fluctuating? Sorry to pester you with questions,...

@MattK I just want to say how great it is to hear your news. My t is usually mild, and recent, and whatever happens to me, it's great to hear...

@MattK Agreed about the whole 'everyone has T' business. Maybe they do and maybe the don't. But T isn't T if it isn't loud. It's the...

@MattK I'm with you, I've had a few days and episodes where it seems to have gone away or next to nothing, at least for a few hours. My attitude...

Thanks for that link! I have some ear pressure issues myself. Hope you're doing well.

What do you mean, what is an ear popper? I'm sorry I don't know what that is.

Of course. But they did seem pretty keen on how it seemed to cure T in mice. No way to ask the mice personally, I know, but as far as that goes,...

This is something I've been totally wondering about too. With Autifony, it's my understanding, if you can call it that, the whatever the cause,...

Are floaters just the tiny bacteria or what have you on your eyeball itself that you notice sometimes if you're just gazing up at the sky? And...
