Hey Juan, I found I'm able to ride my bike without spiking from wind noise for about 25-30 km. I prefer MTV because it's a better workout, has a...

Whoa! That was literally something I asked a long time ago, but related to road cycling! I haven't found any conclusive answers but in the end you...

How old are you?

I've been to Antwerp in the past, way back when De Ridder was still there with Brai2n. Then habituation happened and I sort of stopped looking for...

I don't know anyone that had this apart from the 2 cases I met in the ENT waiting room.

It's only because it came out at a moment where there wasn't anything else, and it could claim a certain improvement in the majority of sufferers...

The limbic system is what attaches meaning to the sound. But this is not the same as saying it originates from there. Not even scientists are sure...

That's the fishy part about it. When I take a painkiller, I don't have to think happy thoughts to make it work. It just works. And that's why, to...

Must have something to do with the Eustachian tubes or sinuses IMO. On my MRI they saw one grey area where a sinal cavity is located at the back...

No, when I heelstrike it's less obvious than when I strike with the forefoot. Also, it depends on whether my nose is stuffed. Wonder if it could...

Thinking of how bad others may have it has never helped me...

So the headphones in the audiology booth were able to emit a more powerful signal?

Could be residual inhibition. The loud internal sound of the snap saturates the auditory system and your tinnitus is being driven into the...

Won't you agree they're doing a lousy job faking the pandemic if they let you in the hospital to check? Or can we hereby assume you're basing your...

I haven't found counseling helpful in a CBT context. I don't know about a TRT context, but they were basically pulling out printouts from the...

Good you took action. It's not worth it doing it against your will. What will you pursue next if I may ask?

Can you ELI5 how the optogenetic CIs work? Would they work in tandem with the residual hearing?

How loud would you rate yours? Over what sounds can you hear it? I used to be able to tune mine out, but now it's a lot harder. It seems some...

I have said what I had to say, Bill. You're entitled to your beliefs. I do encourage you to get from behind your screen and talk to some people...

The hamstering crowd is the same as those who are too selfish to just follow the rules for everyone's sake. Don't think. Trust the virologists...

It's hard to compare countries, as Swedish culture probably differs from other customs in terms of social interaction in groups and civil...

Never have I read more nonsense in one post. Don't listen to me though. Watch what this man has to say about vaccines. I bet he would have taken...

I get your point, Bill. But it seems that the whole world has averted a bigger crisis already twice over by taking "draconian measures" as you...

@Daniel Lion is Tinnitus Talk's OG Good Guy.

If that's true then this can't stand, surely? Noxacusis sufferers may be a silent minority, but tinnitus affects enough people that there's so...

Well you can't really blame her can you.

This seems to work for me too. Although I prefer having the next two sliders down on to balance it out, and have my tinnitus blend in, because...

Beautifully written. But please, keep in mind that these fluctuations don't necessarily mean that it will get worse.

Sorry to hear what has happened. If your crash would have caused something in your middle ear to be damaged, it would show up as a conductive...

Thanks for sharing @Tanni. You say your friend also had hyperacusis, yet he never wore earplugs to bars and cinemas. Did he ever have an adverse...

Can someone just try it out and see to which group he belongs? I mean, was the benefit night and day for you once you got on the drug? How much of...

I understand. However if tinnitus is your main concern, then you should still be good I think because you would just need to repair what you have...

That's great @FGG. How would one be able to tell whether support cells are present? Do they die off the longer your tinnitus exists?

I have been wondering the same thing. Sounds at these frequencies also seem loud very fast as if there's some loudness recruitment at work.

So much win here.

There you go.

Yeah that's BS. I'm pretty sure once people make an appointment about their tinnitus, and their tinnitus is clinically significant and distressing...

I'm 34, my right ear doesn't hear well beyond 12 kHz. When I test this myself I'm afraid to turn up the volume too high and the tones just vanish...

How old are you now?

Hi linearB. Can you tell a bit more about your experience with UMich? "I think it worked" doesn't sound too convincing if you'll pardon my...

I know you've been keeping up with many stories on this forum, but I'd say there's no scientific reason to believe this is the case. There has...

I hope you're right. I believe most of us, and most ENTs know that every tinnitus case with a "perfect" audiogram still has a loss somewhere,...

I'm not going to go into a lengthy discussion. You were making a general statement about people that read copious amounts of information being...

That's very noble indeed. So why do you think it is that some people disagree with you when you tell them not to go inform themselves?

Isn't the test double-blinded? That would require different audiologists doing the hearing tests without comparing previous results. You raise a...

Please feel free to ignore my negativity, as well as "interfere" with anything I post. It's what a forum is about. I prefer the term debate or...

I'm fine with this, as you clearly state it's your opinion. I haven't got a problem with that. But not when you equal informing oneself with...

Thanks for the article. This grabbed my attention: "Tinnitus is usually matched in loudness by a sound with a low SL, typically in the range 6-20...

You basically told people not to inform themselves. And then you accuse me of folly? What is your objective? Keeping everyone stupid like it's 1990?

That's why people were burned at the stake when claiming the Earth was round.

Thanks for pitching in. This was at a renowned hospital, so I can only guess they must do the same with all patients. I honestly don't know where...

Thanks for elaborating. So this theory goes pretty much one way in the sense that low dB SL tinnitus can still be quite loud due to recruitment...

Better not to know I'd say. Ignorance is bliss.

That's more or less what I was wondering. Does that mean the person with hearing loss would perceive that sound as relative to the level of...

Thanks. How was your habituation like? At what point did you know you were going to make it, or at least got a glimmer of hope? I must say...

Mine was measured at 20dB SL. It's rare that it's not been at the forefront of my attention these past two years. Should I just give up trying to...

What does that imply? That a tinnitus of a measured 10 dB SL would sound as loud to one person as the next without taking into account...

That's badass.

@Michael Leigh's keyboard. [ATTACH] Could not not post this.

I remember @Ed209 posted a video about this producer Rick Beato who has a similar kind of tinnitus. It doesn't follow a pattern, except that he...
