I wish I could have a dog.
Inner ear H symptoms (stabbing/palinacousis) respond only to rest. Middle ear issues respond better to mood/sound exposure/supplements.
Almost 3 years into H. Minimal improvement during past year. Still vulnerable to setbacks. Need WFH/quiet job but no relevant skills.
H is better after two years. still using plastic dishes and wearing earpro when cooking/cleaning/when my parents forget to use inside voices
I do still have immediate pain in response to loud high pitched noises. It’s not as intense as it used to be, and it doesn’t linger very long,...
Probably, if I doubled up with plugs and earmuffs. I’m not sure because I’ve lived as a hermit during the pandemic even before I had hyperacusis....
Calm conversation, music as long as it isn’t too high pitched, car rides with my earmuffs. I’ve even taken showers, recently. I’m still bothered...
It’s been about 1.5 years since I developed pain hyperacusis. About a year since a massive setback where I couldn’t stand to listen to the water...
My H is somewhat better. Haven’t kept up with research after FREQ/OTIC failure, too depressing.
I have a critical thinking deficit because I don’t accept that a few clips of unusual footage makes for undeniable proof of little green men? Sure...
Aliens, except maybe angels/demons, are the most extraordinary possible explanation for these phenomena. Extraordinary claims require...

If intelligent life is visiting Earth, it’s awfully convenient that they have nothing better to do than dance around nuclear missile silos and...
First Pfizer dose had no effect on my tinnitus/hyperacusis. I’ll be receiving the second dose on Friday.
Along with the anecdotes we’ve got on here, there’s this from Dr. Fuchs. Relevant part of the abstract: “Here, we show that type II afferents...
Probably. XEN-1101 is in Phase 2. Xenon Pharma claimed that no adverse events occurred in Phase 1. I’m not sure if they’re looking for the visual...
XEN-496 is the same active molecule as Retigabine. XEN-1101 is their newer molecule with reduced side effects.
Just got the first dose of the Pfizer vaccine. Soon I’ll be free to rejoin society... oh wait.
Minor update: I just woke up from a night of seriously intense dreaming. I knew some people use this stuff for that but I didn’t expect the effect...
I took 400 mcg of Huperzine A a couple hours ago. I didn’t feel much, equivalent to a little caffeine. No effect on tinnitus/hyperacusis.
If only we knew the mechanism behind setbacks. I wonder how Dr. Fuchs and his animal model are coming along.
Most of the discussion on this site regarding sodium channel blockers has to do with treating hyperacusis, not tinnitus.
Measuring LDLs in a hyperacusis patient is as stupid as twisting the ankle of someone with a bad sprain to see how bad the injury is.
There’s still the Kv7 drugs like XEN-1101 and the Trobalt reformulation. Also Nav1.7 blockers, they seem far away but there’s a lot of money going...
Based on my limited understanding, Pfizer is the way to go with the vaccine.
He probably didn’t know there are potential treatments coming. He probably thought there was no way out after an expensive ENT told him to get...

Peltor Earmuffs. X1A for small stuff, X5A for louder things.

All the brokers are shutting it down because the plebeians had the audacity to challenge their betters.
MBB consulting, I assume. It’s a harsh lifestyle even with healthy ears. I couldn’t take that risk, one flight/road trip could put you right back...
Not to the extent that yours does, nor as rapidly (my shifts take weeks/months) but my symptoms are uneven as well. However, I can usually...
Not personally but that has been widely reported.
Best day for H in a long time. Consumed 40g of kava yesterday.
Something I noticed about the traditional method is that the strength of the first extract is dependent upon the temperature of the water. Try to...
I benefit from 3mg of melatonin at night. No more.
You have pain hyperacusis. It’s caused by cochlear damage, like tinnitus, but it’s a different condition. There is no cure but some people get...
In my personal experience, there is a clear difference between “heady” and “heavy” Kava varieties both in recreational terms and the effect they...
Sorry to hear that. If I were you I probably wouldn’t want to touch the stuff again, but if you do I would consider a different variety with a...
The more I drink this stuff the worse it tastes :sick: Maybe that’s what people mean by reverse tolerance. It sure does make you feel good though....
It's worth trying but I wouldn't go into it expecting much. It's a small effect.
I’ve only skipped one day so far so I couldn’t say. It still doesn’t affect my tinnitus though, only my hyperacusis and anxiety. I didn’t respond...
Anybody finding that Kava affects their dreams? Mine have been exceptionally long and vivid.
Same. I developed hyperacusis pretty soon after being laid off early this year. If the virus hadn’t happened I would have had to quit and...
I think this is pretty common. When my tinnitus first started it would be totally silent when I woke up and stayed that way as long as I didn’t...
They can be quite loud and shrill. This is controversial but I think the proximity of the source can make a sound worse than another of equivalent...
I use a strainer bag off of Amazon and knead it for 7-10 minutes in a big bowl. Still tastes like muddy water but less of the dirty texture. I...
How about the hyperacusis? I moved to making the traditional drink, it’s a hassle but doesn’t taste as bad and the effect seems to last longer.
Kava as a Clinical Nutrient: Promises and Challenges Here’s a paper I found recently. It discusses anti-inflammatory effects among others. I...
I’m 30 minutes into a total of 3 tablespoons of micronized borongoru. Definitely a different experience from yesterday. More body relaxation and...
I definitely will. I just started small to see if I would start vomiting/breaking out in hives. Thanks for pointing this stuff out, it’s fun to...
I'll see how I feel tomorrow. I could see myself drinking it a couple times a week. So far no nausea which was a concern. I think Reddit/Kava...
No but it tastes great, the ritual of making it is fun, and it reminds me of better times.
I’ve had a total of 1.5 tablespoons of micronized Loa Waka powder over the past 30 minutes. Pretty small introductory dose. Mild tongue numbing...
I would have gone bonkers long ago without my green tea. Thank goodness for the Japanese.
Kalm with Kava. Yes, since that way you’re consuming the fewest root fibers. Micronized is supposedly kind of pulpy. My package is still stuck in...
Mild effect on your tinnitus specifically?
So, there’s instant which is powdered undried Kava. It’s the most expensive, easiest to prepare, and unlikely to cause nausea. Some say instant...

My package is late :(
