Separate names with a comma.
I don't have any answers I'm afraid. What I will say is that you should cherish those days when your tinnitus goes away. Most of us on here...
So this acoustic trauma happened over a year ago and your spike is still subsiding? That gives me some hope as I'm 2.5 months into a spike and I...
I'm going through what seems to be a permanent increase after having a smoke alarm going off 3 feet away from me in October. It lasted only about...
A lot of people wouldn't admit that, it's shows your character that you're prepared to look at ways you can improve your craft. Good luck in the...
Main reason why I stopped watching the news. It's beyond depressing.
Pure tone is the worst. I get it very rarely thankfully, but when I do get it, it's tough to deal with. Wishing you a speedy recovery.
TRT has made some poor souls worse. I personally think it's a very outdated 'treatment' and I use that word lightly with little to no scientific...
The volume has gone down, but is still very high pitched. Sleep is definitely a switch - most of the time it turns my volume down, but on the...
When it gets really, bad I listen to a neuromodulation therapy video on YouTube. I was always really sceptical of these videos, but this one does...
Going through (what I hope is) a high pitched spike of my own. When the pitch gets even higher it always worries me more, as my spikes are usually...
Hopefully what I am going through is a spike and not a permanent worsening. It's not the volume that's the issue, it's the fact that it's now so...
A week and a half later, no improvement.
I had a smoke alarm go off from about 3 feet away a week ago. A letting agent I was showing around a house I bought decided to press it to see if...
The only thing I consume that I can 100% say definitely affects my tinnitus is alcohol. It always spikes my tinnitus. Luckily I've never been a...
I wish I was exposed to a plate bring dropped in a sink or static from a phone call being dropped. Instead I had a stupid letting agent press a...
A GP did explain the mechanics behind a lower dose being more effective, but I've forgotten it now. I took 15 mg for years for anxiety which...
Hope you get it. Totally agree with your comments about office culture.
I had some discomfort hyperacusis rather than pain hyperacusis when I had the acoustic trauma that caused this mess. Went away after a couple of...
Welp, these political threads never end well!
I was having headaches on and off for a few months in late 2020. I had a head MRI on January 11th, 2021. I remember thinking, when I put on the...
I've seen two ENTs - one privately and one through the NHS. Both were absolutely useless and just said it's permanent and there's nothing we can...
10 days after getting COVID-19 in early September, the tinnitus in my left ear, which is a lot quieter than that in my right ear, went insane....
I remember the music video for this, with the train going through the countryside. Love that song.
Personally I wouldn't go to a concert even with earplugs and earmuffs. That's just my opinion though and you must weigh up the pros and cons for...
The loudness level at cinemas is something that really needs to be looked at. There is no need for it to be as loud as it is. Things can improve,...
I had pretty bad hyperacusis back in January 2021 that had virtually gone by the end of that same year, so it can happen. The tinnitus...
The only thing I would say and this applies to anyone with tinnitus of any severity is be careful and protect your ears/hearing.
No. I sleep in the same position - on my back, as I always do. I'm at an absolute loss why this has started happening.
I used to have this happen once every few weeks, but since September 2nd it has happened EVERY single night without fail. I'll fall asleep and...
Lack of sleep definitely makes mine louder the next day. Mine also gets louder as the day goes on, so is at it's loudest when I go to bed.
I think you misunderstood me. I am merely talking about myself and others who have had an adverse reaction to their first shot. If I was anti-vax,...
That doesn't apply if the first shot made your pre-existing tinnitus worse (which happened to me). After my experience with my first Pfizer shot,...
I'm not unvaccinated, I'm partially vaccinated as I have had one vaccine dose. Also, yes, Omicron is milder compared to Delta (not saying that...
In the UK you need a prescription for Melatonin apparently.
@Steph1710 I know you're UK based, do they prescribe Melatonin over here?
I asked my dentist to do 5 seconds of drilling followed by a 5 second break when I had a filling/cavity done in January. The dentist was very...
I was considering Novavax for my second shot after the disaster of my first shot (Pfizer made my tinnitus much higher pitch), but with Omicron...
Me, unfortunately it became incredibly high pitch after I had the Pfizer vaccine. Hope yours quietens down.
Everyone reacts differently to medication, but Mirtazapine is widely considered one of the safer antidepressants (not saying it's 100% safe)....
It almost sounds like a selective form of hyperacusis as regards your noise sensitivity when driving. When I first got tinnitus I had really bad...
Unfortunately the only reports I have read of COVID-19 affecting tinnitus is of making it worse.
I know you had some issues with your 2nd vax shot, did you get the booster?
Since getting tinnitus I get my dentist to do a manual cleaning(no electrical tools used)
@Lan2021!, it is a numbers game, but if you have had your tinnitus increase due to the vaccine you now know that the vaccine has a 100% chance of...
Exact same thing happened to me a few days before Christmas. I had my earplugs in luckily. I had a mild spike that lasted a few days. I took my...
@GeorgeLG, you can never go wrong with Dire Straits. I met Mark Knopfler a few years ago, incredibly nice man!
I remember you saying you were in the UK. Unfortunately all three vaccines available here have had reports of causing tinnitus issues. In fact on...
I don't think anyone here can give you a definite answer. Ring the no win no fee solicitors you have listed and see what they have to say.
A month to the day since my first Pfizer vaccine shot. Tinnitus is still way above baseline and the new second tone in my right ear is still there...
That's what I plan on doing after my tinnitus reacted to my first Pfizer shot. Here in the UK it was put forward for approval in October, so...
3.5 weeks post first Pfizer dose and no real improvement. Annoying as I was beginning to cope well with my tinnitus before it got worse the day...
Judge anyone? Where have I judged anyone Brian? I'm in the same boat as you - the Pfizer vaccine made my tinnitus worse. Unlike you though, I...
Unfortunately some people see mask wearing as losing their freedom which is ridiculous. I certainly want to get a second vaccine dose, but won't...
I have never said "most people had their tinnitus get worse" so I'm not sure where you are getting that from. I am well aware it is a minority,...
I don't think it is misinformation when a tinnitus sufferer says the vaccine has worsened their tinnitus. I am very much pro vaccine, but there is...
You talk about the investment cost, but nearly all of this cost was covered by the US government for Pfizer and the UK government for AstraZeneca....
I'm having a similar experience looking for a new job.
Agree 100%, if someone's tinnitus is negatively affected by the vaccine then they are fully entitled to say so in this thread. I don't have any...
A week since my first Pfizer shot. My spike has gone down a bit in terms of volume and intensity the last two days, but still quite a bit over...
I quit drinking a few weeks after I got tinnitus as I noticed even a couple of drinks would spike my tinnitus horribly and the spike would last a...
