    So Tired of My Furnace — The Fan/Blowing Noise Makes My Tinnitus React

    Hi @Bill Bauer. I have a ComfortZone portable baseboard heater. It’s definitely silent and doesn’t have blowing and rumbling noises. But I do notice that there is a really quiet electric hum and high frequency noise when the heater is on, sort of like the sound of electric current. Do you notice...

    Double Jaw Surgery Fears Due to Tinnitus of Unknown Cause

    I am facing the same dilemma! I need jaw surgery because I have breathing issues (sleeping apnea/UARS) and bite issues. Both jaws need to be advanced. I know this surgery can allow me to breathe and sleep better but I am really scared that it will worsen tinnitus. I don’t know what to do... Sigh...

    Favorite Horror Movies

    The scariest movie I have watched is Ju-On (Japanese horror movie). The American remake The Grudge is also great but is less horrifying than the original one.

    Ear Ringing Became Worse After Jaw Surgery — What to Do Next?

    Oh, I see! How long did it take for you to recover from your lower jaw surgery? Did you gain back most of your lower jaw nerve sensation? Good luck with everything! If you do get the surgery, please report back on how it goes:) Yeah, definitely have him check if the drugs are ototoxic. Also, if...

    Tinnitus Makes Me Disabled and Doctors Don't Take Me Seriously

    I am sorry your doctors treated you this way. I feel like doctors who say these kinds of things never experienced tinnitus themselves.

    Ear Ringing Became Worse After Jaw Surgery — What to Do Next?

    No, I did not. I thought about it but I think the risk is too big. I read that the jaws/mouth will be swollen and numb for weeks due to irritation of the nerves. I am worried that this will cause a lot of inflammation in the ears since the ears are connected to the jaws. I also read that people...

    Seeking Input on Possible Middle Ear Injury on Top of Noxacusis

    Thanks for the reply! I have read that some people’s tinnitus spiked from Magnesium and some people got insomnia, so maybe it does not work for everyone. But since you can tolerate a drink with Magnesium content, maybe you can try the liquid form as FGG suggested.

    Seeking Input on Possible Middle Ear Injury on Top of Noxacusis

    Hi! What brand of Magnesium are you taking? I am also sensitive to Magnesium (and supplements in general) and am trying to find a brand with low dose Magnesium. The lowest I found is 100 mg per capsule. Thanks!

    Dental Extraction — Noise, Anesthesia, Antibiotics, Pain Medication

    Thank you for your reply! I will ask the dentist to drill 5 seconds and pause 10 seconds. Hopefully he is understanding about it. That’s good to know. I will ask for Amoxicillin. CBCT is a cone beam CT machine that takes 3D scans I think. But I am most likely just going to have an xray. Do...

    Dental Extraction — Noise, Anesthesia, Antibiotics, Pain Medication

    I have been having one-sided nasal tightness, sinus pressure, some ear pressure, some front teeth pressure that I thought were caused by sinus infection. It’s been a couple of months and no improvement. I am now suspecting it could be caused by a supernumerary (extra) tooth that is located...

    Antibiotic Ointment Mupirocin 2% in Nose — Any Adverse Effects on Tinnitus?

    Thank you for your reply. This is what I am hoping for. I didn’t know about mucous membrane systemic absoption, so I will ask the pharmacist and see if he/she might know. With tinnitus, I am worried about bunch of things, sigh:( Anyway, thanks again!
