It caused my ear issues and also other people’s - there’s enough evidence on this forum as well, so I’m just warning people based off my first...

I suggest seeing a knowledgeable urologist. There are many people who can’t take these meds for other reasons than ears (strokes, heart etc.) and...

True, I may have used the term ototoxic not in the medically correct way, but as you mention, I am referring to the potential damage it can cause...

Lol, yeah, when I looked into the use of these devices, I was a bit surprised how common it was and that it actually has benefits when used...

No I wasn’t taking anything and hadn’t been prior to that, so the pill and excessive use of headphones are the only two culprits. In the meantime...

Without going into debates (I did this before but I’m not doing this anymore to protect my mental health), I wanted to say a huge thank you to...

@MatthijsDJ, thanks for sharing your personal experience and congrats on getting all these health issues under control. We all have our unique...

Michael is right, it’s a natural thought to assume that doctors are the authority, but in case of tinnitus, and, other conditions for that matter...

4 months is very early days. Most people need at least 1.5 to 2 years to start improving. So, you need to hang in there.

@GeorgeLG, thank you for your posts, I have always been very appreciative of them and totally agree with what you say.

I recommend invisible in-ear hearing aids. You can wear them every time you’re outside and they are cutting off harmful frequencies. If the...

To protect yourself from such encounters, I recommend using in-ear hearing aids that can filter out harmful noises. With tinnitus you just really...

No effect on tinnitus as such, but definitely helped me with anxiety and to wean off Mirtazapine.

Hi @makeyourownluck, I don’t know directly which supplements you’d need for your inflammation treatment, but if you tell me what exact your issue...

My point exactly.

I am now a firm believer in natural / less chemical remedies. I used to think it was all placebo but it’s not. I weened myself off ADs by using...

Yeah, motivation is the key. I recommend seeing it as a big project that you are in charge of. - Research what exercises work for male libido....

Yes, that’s correct, but I mean the psychological addiction. Imagine a guy takes a med every time, it works, but one day for whatever reason the...

Nooo! There’s always something that will work, we just need to find it and fix it. Same as with tinnitus/ENT who’d in the best case prescribe you...

I’d say not everything, but some stuff that we know is bad (ADs, certain antibiotics etc) we’d rather avoid. Also, don’t forget the psychological...

Fascinating how the saying “more is less” is well suitable here, isn’t it? Detaching the ego from the act is basically the key :) Mindfulness in...

I’m obviously not a urologist, but I believe in your case you’d need something that works directly on the source. I don’t know of the full range...

There’s even a condition called porn induced ED - PIED. It’s very real and logically explained - because of the abundance of porn available to...

I’d rather say, try to avoid those meds if that’s possible. Finding an alternative with the right set of supplements may be a better option. Under...

When ears feel clogged and there’s no wax in them, it could very well be due to hearing loss, whatever frequency. I would advise against earplugs...

It may also have nothing to do with it, tinnitus is such an illogical thing...

Just a random thought… Would it have to do with people being left/right handed? I am right handed, my tinnitus is on the right, as well as in the...

I don’t think so, in terms of volume, but hearing aids definitely helped me.

I’m not an expert in relationships, rather the opposite :) But my advice is - take as much care for yourself as possible now. Treat yourself to...

Hi Joe, Really sorry to hear your story. I understand your feeling completely, but you’ll now just have to give it time. Hearing aids with...

I had something remotely similar in terms of pain inflicted by someone I thought was supposed to be my partner. My motto in life now is to...

For the majority of guys ED is of psychological origin, so you actually want to look for something that’d target anxiety too, like Ashwagandha,...

I have Signia Silk.

What helped and still helps me is believing that every day I’m moving forward towards getting better. It’s a day by day ordeal and very small wins...

I had a similar experience when I was down with COVID-19.

Thanks Daniel, likewise. Hope you get better soon!

Hey Daniel, As far as the pharmaceuticals are concerned, I can honestly say none have really helped me. Even benzos, which surprised me....

Living day by day really. Lots of masking and anti-anxiety stuff, from meds to supplements. I benefit from hearing aids, but it's a complete...

Beside my heartbreak for the people who are suffering in this awful onslaught, what particularly enrages me: When it comes to finding cures for...

Great stuff, please keep us posted! Hope it works for you.

That’s a great link, thanks Lane. Do you think it’d make sense taking Vitamin D3 therapeutically to hopefully reduce the volume in general? Maybe...

When you say it was not bothersome to you, so before your doctor’s remark, what thoughts did you have when you would perceive it? Your general...

I’m not quite sure about the exact numbers to be honest, the audiologist adjusts it for me. My experience was, when I first got the hearing aid,...

Thank you very much! I remember talking to you too, I hope you've been managing it better as well. Appreciate your kind words.

I have high frequency hearing loss, can't remember the exact number, but it's somewhere in the 10 kHz+ range.

An update from me. After my audiologist tuned the hearing aid up to my lost higher frequencies, I have a great weapon in combating the tinnitus. I...

Great stuff, congratulations! I’d say, don’t worry about things that could be potentially wrong. Whatever it was, if the noise goes down, that’s...

I had very bad COVID-19 a few months ago and made a couple of trips to a hospital in an ambulance. I was worried the tinnitus would spike but my...

Hi @Guest5401, I was feeling just like you when I was hit. I had some nasty personal circumstances around getting tinnitus too. Just progressed in...

I have variations too, in its intensity and character. Some days are bearable while some are less so. I was first thinking it’s because of...

If the A and E won’t give you steroids, then definitely go private and demand them there. It’s on a later side, but nothing to lose. I believe you...

CE Mark is relatively easy to get. I worked in getting those for industrial machinery (non medical) and it’s extremely easy. You basically just...

When I put the hearing aid in my bad ear (tinnitus and hearing loss), my good ear gets muffled a bit, especially if the sound amplification is at...

Sting is a fellow tinnitus sufferer. Great guy who does support hearing charities too. I think celebs have lots of issues, mental, physical...

Great posts @GeorgeLG! I totally agree. Regarding the technological progress, the other day I was thinking that the humanity used horses and...

@billie48 has recently dealt with a massive setback and managed it well. I hope his story can help you as well @Matty1996.

Sorry to hear about this incident, it's bad luck indeed. I've never understood all the fuss about the fireworks, even before tinnitus. That...

Viagra caused my severe tinnitus, and I’m not the only victim of this drug. Before I took it (I was pressured by an abusive narcissistic ex) - I...

My overall 2 week update: - hearing aid with sound amplification helps reduce the severity of the ringing by roughly 15-20 percent. No big magic...
