Separate names with a comma.
Isn't "murder and rape" carried out privately? I doubt if anyone would allow themselves to be filmed committing such atrocities. There was this...
May I ask why you have given this advice?
No one knows definitively where tinnitus comes from. The most plausible explanation I have heard was tinnitus starts from damage in the ear. If...
This is typical rhetoric bullshit that only an audiologist could come out with. Are you protecting your ears?
Is it not just the sudden change in air pressure in your throat during swallowing that transfers to your ears, hence the eardrum responding with a...
I guarantee you will regret getting the hearing test.
Sorry to hear this. Do you know what caused this? Is it perhaps a spike?
Did you go back to your work in construction @Hardwell?
Wow! @jjflyman and @RunningMan's accounts/predictions are the EXACT opposite. The truth is one of the following will happen: 1) Your tinnitus...
Honestly, would you date someone who had the same T as you?
It's controversial because there is A RISK of worsening, simple as that. It's your risk to take.
I don't think there is an audiologist on the planet that would accept for a second that anything they do would cause or worsen tinnitus; hearing...
Well done in being able to 'forget' your tinnitus.
Go out and live your life as if you don't have tinnitus - that's the advice the experts give. So go out, go to the cinema, get worse tinnitus, get...
Be careful of this approach. This person is a moderate sufferer at most. @Pixelito, I am glad you are able to soothe your tinnitus by exposing to...
What a totally bullshit, convolted and meaningless statement! ENTs, doctors and audiologists LOVE using convolution to misdirect sufferers of...
This is nonsense. It's made up shit to try and encourage sufferers to accept it.
This has got to be the most bizarre account of determined, self-inflicted tinnitus I have ever read! Insane!
A few have this cyclical aspect to their tinnitus, see this thread.
Has it been making things worse?
That's in the US. The rest of the world tend to train audiologists with a Master's degree over 3 or 4 years, like in UK. I take it you live in...
Audiologists talk shit fullstop about tinnitus. They aren't even doctors, they don’t have medical degrees. They are no better than a technician....
This is the most bizarre response to steroids I have ever heard! Your tinnitus was completely gone and your hearing was completely normal. Yet...
Whatever side you are lying on will increase the blood flow to that ear; just like if you stand on your head, all the blood rushes to your head....
No change from the posting I made in October 2023 when you last asked.
Does it matter what you call it? Your tinnitus is REACTING directly to external sounds. Call it anything you like; it won't change what's happening.
This sounds like reactivity, a more intrusive type of tinnitus. Some report reactivity reducing over time. Be careful of loud noise. Protect...
There should be 'jealously' rating. I certainly would have pressed it for this posting.
I think this phenomenon is a sign of both. That is to say, when damage occurs; for example, when a hair cell dies, the fleeting tinnitus is the...
I think you are incredibly brave doing this. Please keep us updated on how it goes.
Can u give links to your success stories?
If you have no hearing loss, a hearing test should do you no harm. If you have hearing loss, they just keep increasing the loudness of the tones...
Cancel the ENT appointment. Nothing to be gained from it, only risk of worsening. I recommend against white noise generators. Let your ears rest...
Is your tinnitus not a bigger problem than the depression? Can you get another doctor’s opinion? Most doctors don't take tinnitus seriously and...
I agree with @AnthonyMcDonald. I think tinnitus tends to take its path, regardless. I also agree with @gameover who started the TPP (Time,...
Horror story.
Why do you say this if your life is ruined? If you could go back, would you not want to take the Prednisone?
Do you still hear the tinnitus?
How did the surgery go? Did your T worsen? Did you wear earplugs during the surgery?
I find this perspective a bit concerning? He took a shower, and wasn’t expecting an increase in his tinnitus, yet got it. How is that...
@Buddy123, I know you mean well. I read some of your previous postings. Does someone like you with a stable "not very loud" monotonal tinnitus...
I do not recommend an audiogram. It could worsen things. You are at school, a teenager? Healing is on your side.
This is reactive tinnitus, no doubt. Can you let us know when your spike from the fan reduces? I hope this hasn't permanently increased your...
Thanks for this @MindfluX. It would appear that no medication has reduced your tinnitus? It's not the first account of Prednisone having no...
LoL Love it when they tell you is a psch problem. ENT saying T/H is pschy problem = There is nothing I can do about it so I'm saying it's all...
If this was true, there wouldn't be anyone bothered with tinnitus.
INSANE!
Too late for steroids and hearing test could make your T worse. ENTs/Audiologists know nothing about T, they are no more than human placebos....
Serious cases won't get a spike, they'll get a permanent worsening.
Sleeping position? Avoid lying on back? Is snoring increasing your tinnitus during sleep? Noise of pillow rustling against your ear? Use a...
With audiograms, they just keep upping the decibels until you hear the frequency. That can do damage, no doubt!
There are many with reactive tinnitus who have said the same. Have you tried reducing the volume, to an extent, so as not to cause tinnitus...
He'll soon earn.
Yet another example of an ENT making tinnitus worse. Though they will never think they did. All sound tests carried out by ENT/audiologist can be...
What you describe here is the nightmare scenario. If this happened to me, I wouldn’t cope with a 300% increase, I'm not strong enough. So sorry,...
To give others hope.
You haven't posted in over two years? It would have been more convincing if you had posted WHEN you were better. Were your tinnitus and...
I envy those with tinnitus quiet enough that it can be forgotten.
Good warning here. If your tinnitus is variable, it may have a bit of reactivity as well. Masking does not work for reactivity, that's been said...
Thanks for coming back to report @Vassili. Your thread was the first I read when I was struck with tinnitus. I remember you well. Your success...
