Lidocaine diagnostic nerve block today (neck).T disappeared for 5 minutes! gradually returned as the block wore off. Now spiked. <sigh>
Hi @Nick47 - Unfortunately, I had to come off it for other reasons. It was good while it lasted.
@yeezysqueezy Thank you - yes I will avoid NASIDs. I hope the H improves for you.
@brixenbrixen T originally from noise and age-related hearing loss. Been steadily worsening and wonder if neuralgias and cervical spine issues...
Long story - MRI cancelled. Meanwhile, took ONE 375mg naproxen (I know, but pain…) and tinnitus is at suicide level. Please make this stop!
Thank you all for your support. I am going to see if the MRA is necessary - or if the MRI (with the proper protocol, CISS) is enough. Or if they...
@Damocles - Unfortunately I need a 3T and those are only "tubes". I've got foam plugs and silicone putty over that. We can't bring our own ear...
@DeanD - yes, it's for the neuralgia. We need a 3T FIESTA or CISS MRI to better see compressions. All the "MVD" neurosurgeons will want that....
My 3T, 50 min. MRI in 5 days. Petrified. It must be done, I want it done, but can't, even with plugs. Worsening T rules my life. I'm angry.
My starting dosage was 300 mg 2x daily for seven days, then increase to 600 mg 2x daily. When I started the 300 mg 2x dose, I had mild drowsiness...
Yes, I take it for nerve pain. The reduced tinnitus was an unexpected bonus. Currently I'm on 300 mg twice a day. I need to increase it, and will...
Hi @Nick47. Yes, my tinnitus suddenly ramped up a couple years back. After that, I tried hard to protect my ears with earplugs, etc., even moving...
An old post, but I wanted to say that I've been on Oxcarbazepine for only two days for neuralgia, and it drops my tinnitus significantly. It's...
@Strawberryblonde I may not be able to provide my own ear muffs -any they provide will be useless- and I may not be able to wear muffs anyway due...
Dx'd with Glossopharyngeal Neuralgia. Need "FIESTA or CISS" MRI of brain to find nerve compression. Longer and louder scans? I'm screwed.
Life is definitely different and I at times I can still get bitter about it. I'm coping and surviving! Hope you are doing well!
I have hearing aids but for hearing loss, not masking which is impossible. Tinnitus in NYC means wearing ear plugs outdoors 95% of the time and...
Oh no! That's awful. I hope you are doing ok. I too send good vibes your way.
I now only use paper plates and bowls, and plastic cups. I don't entertain much anymore :(
Yes, @ploughna did.
I used crickets, but when those no longer worked, I turned to lower-pitch "babbling brook" sounds. Nothing high pitch to compete, but lower pitch...
Hi @BrOKeN_1 - Thank you for reaching out. I've been lurking lately :) My T is still a beast, and I try to stay positive. Not always easy,...
I was waiting, but my tinnitus keeps worsening, so now I have second thoughts about any vaccine.
Similar situation -- I'm back in the Midwest after 23 years; but I left NYC, and I am scrambling to "get my Docs in a row." (Sorry, ZocDoc.) If...

Thank you TracyJS. Wish I had a cat to hug right now :)
Thank you for your kind words Leila.
Catastrophic. It's the screech-hiss from hell, and could probably break glass.
You use film? I haven’t touched my cameras -film or digital-in years. It would do me good to get out and shoot. Thanks for the nudge!
I flew recently. Used Earplanes, Peltor Optime III ear muffs, and paid extra for front-row first class seats. All good! My T is severe so I...
My condolences to his friends and family. Rest in peace, Brian.
I thought this was bad a year ago?! Ha! Mere child's play compared to today.
Very nervous of upcoming air travel.Short-hauls so smaller (noisier?) planes; have muffs, EarPlanes,1st class seats.Train/car not options :(
Plain psyllium husk powder. I use the NOW Foods brand, sold on Amazon. I'll warn you, it's not a pleasant drink, but you can also add it to foods...
I posted this when I realized I cannot see my favorite artist, who is playing two shows near me. I've never missed a show. Recalling his past...
I really *need* to go to a concert--a loud AF concert. To "feel" some noise. I'm tired of earplugs and earmuffs and thinking about dB levels
I've realized my tinnitus worsens about every three months. Each time I settle in, relax and accept it, then BAM. It's exhausting.
You're welcome. I hope your surgery goes well.
Hard to say for sure, but I would say it did not. There were other issues later on that I believe did have a lasting impact. That said, I hope I...
Perhaps the noise from the drilling or sawing of the skull caused your tinnitus? I had a craniotomy in 1991, but that did not cause my tinnitus.
Yes, those were what I had. I recall my audiologist inserted a bit of cotton in my ear before injecting the “goop”, maybe to protect the eardrum....
I recommend the 3M Skull Screws foam earplugs. I use them every time I leave my apartment (I live in a noisy city). They insert quickly and...
Me too.
There's a virtual R&D Event for investors on November 9. https://frequencytx.gcs-web.com/2021_Virtual_R-D_Event
Ah, this is Madeleine McCann. We do know of this state-side and when news breaks, we hear about it. Very sad. I too go down murder/mystery...
I love animals but am beginning to hate dogs. Barking and T do not get along. I'm screwed.
This was the sentence in that article that worried me: The New York Times reported anonymous Biden administration sources saying that it’s not...
I was, but now hear it's possible it may not be authorized in the US. Dammit. COVID-19 vaccinemaker Novavax faces manufacturing setback
Ugh...it's maddening isn't it? I hope the dog didn't bark!
My tinnitus is severe (10/10 and 24/7, 365 days a year), and I'll find any excuse to stay inside and not risk a noise incident. I'm thiiiiis close...
I can relate to this. I moved across town a month ago and the hiss immediately increased. Who knows, maybe it's the altitude - this apartment is...
I agree with @Taw that you should ask about a CT scan. They may need the dye (not sure if it's the same as for an MRI), but at least it's not five...
Oh man... When was your last one? When this happens to me (and it will b/c of my medical history), I will push back. Hypothetically, what if I had...
Congratulations!
After a year of Covid quarantine, etc., I'm having difficulty getting used to "normal" noise and activity levels. It all seems so loud and...
I enjoy street photography. I'm fascinated with old buildings, store fronts, and remnants of "old" NYC, or any other city. When I'm lucky to find...
Photography - film and digital. It's been on hold the past several months (thank you, loud/screeching tinnitus), but perhaps one day I'll pick up...
Ear muffs! :)
Thank you all for your kind words and support. It really means a lot. Sometimes I feel so alone because nobody else understands.
T still spiked and today it was exacerbated by everyday life in NYC. Mentally I'm a wreck. Sleep s*cks. I'm a shell of my former self.
