Do you happen to remember the brand? GE or Siemens? Was it regular or research protocol? If indeed ZTE and/or Looping Star are becoming the gold...

Was it noiseless with or without hearing protection? It depends on the definition of "silent." I can read in some places that "Looping Star is a...

I don't think there ever was expectation that fMRI + Neurofeedback would be any good solution anyway. MRI is loud and expensive. I think the point...

Hi @Juliane and @gameover. I am doing fine these days. Thank you so much for asking! During last few years I managed to detach my emotions from my...

Hi all. On this article Clas Linnman is photographed with a pair of $100 Howard Leight Impact Sport headphones, that have essentially similar...

@Andy02, I can relate to you. My 2nd (and permanent) tinnitus onset happened when I blasted for a few seconds studio headphones connected to iMac...

If I understand it right, FDA banned NAC use in dietary supplements, but I guess it can be still sold as a standalone drug: CRN petition requests...

Ok, music is a vast subject. But here's one of my all time (non-controversial and listenable) favorite: [MEDIA]

I get "temporary" floaters worsening day after I strain my eyes, e.g. spending too much time in the front of the computer. But I figured it has...

That sucks, but maybe they enjoy staying in their little own clique or they're just a...holes. I used to think that there's something wrong with...

Thanks! I just hope people get my message... you know, according to Urban dictionary "When F1 driver Lewis Hamilton drives as fast as he can."....

Hi Steph, Just out of curiosity and reciprocity to liking my last profile status, wanted to ask if your profile status is still up to date or the...

So we've spent couple of days on Mallorca recently, despite pandemic and stuff. We are vaccinated so we felt safe, and while the 2nd shot had some...

A lightning just hit 50m behind the building I was looking at with a window open. Covered my ears. It was pretty loud. NAC+magnesium pop :)

Some of us coping better, some worse. Nevertheless this cursed condition is transforming all of us. I don't have suicidal ideations, not anymore....

Hi Vicki, It is great to read you are doing better. Many thanks for ‘if tinnitus is killing you, let it. More specifically, the part of you that...

I know that. It is good that Catholic church tries to follow the teachings of Jesus, as it is something that it should do in the first place. But...

This is great. Unfortunately in my case most of the Christians (Catholic) I know only care about themselves and their families, go every Sunday to...

I think calling tinnitus a symptom is what downplays severity of this condition. This creates IMHO false impression that tinnitus is an effect of...

My guess is that since prayer has become accepted alternative to physical help/support. It is far easier to do, takes little time, no need to...

Oh, I had no intention to be preaching. I've read this thread before posting and I am all with you as well. I wanted to trigger some good...

I agree. But there are good arguments that gods of major religions do not exist, I think this article provides quite nice summary: Top 10 Reasons...

Back then the music used to be authentic and more organic, at least this is how I perceived grunge. Today's music is too synthetic. Btw. I cannot...

Can you provide some references in this subject? I always wondered why the heck so many of my colleagues that abused their ears the same or even...

Yeah, this awful condition always finds a way to tighten the screws. Once I found some stability and started enjoying life a little bit (more) in...

Hi Ciara, Many here will tell you that global lows is what matters. If you had almost full day of silence, you have very high chance to recover....

Sometimes. I try, really. Like I wrote few times in the other threads, the constant fight to prevent worsening often sucks all the enjoyment from...

Besides Magnesium, you can try NAC as a dietary supplement that has anti-inflammatory properties. You can also ask your doctor for course of...

Gee, if only we had such a treatment that works as on this pretty illustration, I'd be crying of joy.

Really happy to hear that. This brings some hope for everyone of us. Just out of the curiosity, do you take any supplements or pharmaceuticals? Or...

Thanks for sharing. I am also a victim of some bad decisions and naïve thinking and bad doctors telling me to "suck it up" or "what do I expect...

Fresh picture from today - 1st workday after a 2-week holiday break, so I am not extremely cheerful :ROFL: [ATTACH] Here's a happy me, when I...

I am very sorry to see you joining the infamous club of tinnitus triggered by few seconds of loud blast from headphones. This is how I triggered...

First of all, I am happy to hear about your success. I wish your new silence state will be permanent. And I can relate to your experience. My...

@dan, according to your message you had a phone conversation with Mr Di Meola. Is this something that could potentially help us on the way of...

I am sorry to hear that and I know what you feel. I am 41 and I spent majority of my childhood fighting with scoliosis - exercising, wearing...

From what I read here and elsewhere, most of the people habituate to the sound of their tinnitus or their tinnitus fades away. Since it is all...

It is exactly how I got my tinnitus back in 2013. About 1-2 seconds of blasting Sennheiser over-ear headphones connected to iMac. That was about...

It is almost the same what triggered my tinnitus. But you still have good chances for recovery. Consider taking NAC (anything below 2000mg/day...

Dave, I am truly sorry for your loss. I hope this is not the end and the time will come, when you will be together again.

No you are not. It depends on one's character whether knowing more will bring you down or actually help with maintaining sanity. I am actually...

This sucks so much. Thanks for sharing your story. I was also always the person who cherished silence (and good music), but now I don't even...

All I try to emphasize is that in many if not most of the cases it is not our fault we are suffering, despite what many try to convince. If we pay...

Just some proof that musicians are not indifferent to hearing damage. Dave Mustaine of Megadeth (and ex-Metallica) discussing hearing damage on...

Yeah I can understand that without personal introduction, any attempts to contact celebrities using internet channels have a low chance of...

Just reviving this old thread, that I wish was boiling with numerous posts expressing anger and desire to change the current status quo, but in...

Indifferent? Well they use custom molds for concerts, which is obviously to save their hearing. Lars was mentioning tinnitus in the interviews. So...

@BrStan@ please hang in there. I completely understand how you feel, but please don't end it yet. There is hope and there is some purpose in this...

Also consider taking NAC. You can buy it without prescription. I have read it is used by American Navy after acoustic trauma, see:...

OMG, thanks @Bambam0. This is what happens if you have a website which shows no data whatsoever next to posted articles/news. I think I am going...

Looking there I read "In the fall, her team will begin the next phase of research, with the goal of replicating earlier results and gaining Food...

Certainly, but then how else you could explain that some people don't get tinnitus after acoustic trauma, while some other get tinnitus after...

Sorry for digging this up, but it is a very informative thread and I really value @Ed209's posts here. Yes it can, tinnitus is one of the...

No it is not, I was ironic or even sarcastic. The most annoying component of my tinnitus is high-pitched screeching that I believe sits somewhere...

Okay if they start to advertise it like that then they're crossing the line they shouldn't cross. I am willing to eat my words and take @Jazzer's...

Well if this can give you some hope and strength, I can reveal that my tinnitus has hit me when I was in the middle of my PhD studies, my son was...

Yes I got them. I don't think I have much to add to what I have already written in my initial impression...
