Hi Jack, Would you say that caffeine, sugar and NSAIDs truly lead to tinnitus worsening? Or high blood pressure? This is the wisdom from many online sites like WebMD - but I hope to know what everyone else thinks.

This is the same feeling that I go through. I think about my nephews and my family that relies on me. I live for them now. Focusing on others helps me forget about the relentlessness of tinnitus.

Hi Folks, I've been posting a lot while I'm still in the "golden window" of the first 3 months of my tinnitus. I am unsatisfied with my ENT in Flushing, Queens. I want to make an appointment with a good ENT or audiologist before the governor locks down the subways. Can anyone point me to a...

I guess the million dollar question is: what is an appropriate dose of prednisone? They used to pump me full of prednisone at work (commercial fishing). Crazy amounts. When my ENT prescribed 5mg I had to laugh.

Hi Jack, I went to the ENT and he gave me an extremely low dose of prednisone. 5mg twice a day. I don't think that will do the trick. I also got Xanax. I don't want to waste the "golden window" phase that you spoke of. My ENT is a very stoic, aloof guy who never truly answers my questions.

I recently got a Xanax prescription for my tinnitus.

Hi Folks, I am new to the Lenire thread (and tinnitus in general). Would someone be kind enough to let me know: 1. When will Lenire be available in the United States? 2. Is the general consensus that it is a godsend treatment? If Americans must go to Ireland for treatment why not go as a...

I love that man (Jordan Peterson). I've had tinnitus for two weeks. One of my first google searches was: "Jordan Peterson tinnitus"

Jack, last question: Where did you read about this golden window?

Thanks Harley, As I see your initial onset date is 2017, has yours subsided?

So you got tinnitus twice in 4 years? After habituating to the first time? Does habituating = strategically ignoring?

Hi Silver: So have you experienced fading after 2 months?

Thanks a lot. This is the most promising scenario yet. Aside from prednisone, what are some of the other time sensitive treatments? FYI: I just rescheduled for an earlier appointment with my ENT. It's tomorrow now. I will ask him for a prednisone treatment. What else can I ask for?

Hi Brightside, Are you saying that you would recommend hearing aids for tinnitus sufferers? I have only had for two weeks. What is your general opinion on hearing aids for tinnitus - effective or not?

I'm thinking about asking doc for Xanax.

I can't sleep. I went hard with alcohol the other night - something I hadn't done in years. This is awful.

Thanks Michael. I have a fan on. Perhaps that is low level sound enrichment.

Hi Michael, I was sensitive to sound (like other people on cell phones, airplanes, intrusive technology) long before the tinnitus set in. Is the noise sensitivity a precursor to tinnitus? I am in hell right now. The ringing is non stop. My sister gave me some old kolonopin and still no...

Quick question: how did you verify that it was the neck and ETD causing the tinnitus? Could physical therapy for the neck help? I also have ETD (I think). Constant drainage. But I am more hopeful about getting my neck fixed and seeing if that isn't the problem.

Thanks Eloy.

That is my sincere hope. Thank you!

Thanks Afro, I will try.

Thanks Michael, I am exceptionally sensitive to noise. Especially flight routes (living under them, near LaGuardia). I will check out your writings. Thank you.

Hi Hans and everyone, Thanks so much for responding. What treatment were you specifically referring to? I am interested in learning more. Thanks again. Also, do hearing aids help? My insurance (medicaid) is not great, but ironically, it covers hearing aids.

Hi everyone, I've had tinnitus for about 1.5 weeks. It came on suddenly sitting in Central Park. It isn't awful, but it is a constant annoyance. It's like I just got back from a loud concert. It's a low, but bothersome ringing. I only have medicaid and the level of care that I will likely...
