Separate names with a comma.
Going to try taurine, for the GAINS but apparently good for ears too...
Agh, I live in London. I bloody hate the sirens and motorbikes. The bane of my existence. Do sirens need to be that loud? Not sure. @Gateway,...
I'm afraid you've got to ride it out, Ernie. We've all been there and it sucks. However, just look after yourself and it should pass. Have hope....
Yeah this is what I meant by manual cleaning ^
I still play acoustic guitar and sing, and I'm actually not too bad if I say so myself. Suck on that, tinnitus!
I've been dealing with hissing and static in my left ear for 3 years now. I did experience brain fog badly for the first year but over time it...
I have to ask for manual cleaning. In a past life it would have been very difficult to endure, nowadays it's child's play compare with what we...
Hi Everyone, So I am generally a strange tinnitus case, I have somatic tinnitus in my left ear (a 3-4/10 usually) and I have non-somatic, or...
About to go on a 2 hour flight, taken NAC, experimenting with foam earplugs and Bose QC45 ANC headphones! Let's see how it goes.
Agreed, I don't use headphones. Stick with the job, but try to reduce unnecessary meetings. Give it some time for your ears to adjust, don't...
Indeed it is @Joe Cuber, but I'm getting used to it. Not sure it is improving per se, more that my brain filters it out more as I get used to it....
I've just been on a business trip for 3 days involving flights, lunches and dinners. Managed it okay with strategic protection. Have hope!
Hey @tiniturk I'm doing okay, thanks for asking! The spike went down (or I adjusted, hard to tell nowadays?). Currently about to board a flight so...
Ah good to hear @Joe Cuber! It is indeed unfortunately, especially with things like VSS. I have been adjusting to it so it doesn't bother me too...
Going on a 2 hour flight soon, am going to do the Mack's/x5A method. Don't trust N/C headphones unless I'm wrong?
Sorry to hear that @Joe Cuber! Hope things have improved! It must be very difficult dealing with other ailments in addition to tinnitus. My health...
Thanks @Joe Cuber, appreciate it! Hope you're doing alright.
Certainly possible, although agreed as to finding a quiet bar nowadays! I never remembered them being so loud in my past, they all seem to love...
Hey, thanks for your message @Ngo13! Quite possibly, it definitely feels somatic and I could physically feel the muscles move in and around my ear...
This condition stops you from doing everything, and tortures you when you do nothing.
Thanks @Joe Cuber for your support! It did in the end, but every time it takes it out of me.
Woah my tonal tinnitus (non-somatic) just ramped-up! This is another level
Hi all, Another update. Not sure how I'm here as there have not been any really loud noises following the scream but my left ear is going wild....
Us diehard LOTR fans need to stick together! :) Even through the most difficult and testing of circumstances which you are currently enduring with...
It was said by Seneca that "Sometimes even to live is an act of courage". I believe this quote applies here more than ever, just hang in there day...
He got spiked by a scream?
Tinnitus and visual snow are at an all-time high. Life is starting to chafe my soul but I will not break. Kick life in the teeth.
Hi all, A somewhat brief and unfortunate update. I was playing Monopoly with some friends when a girl landed on Mayfair and decided to let out...
Had a worsening: a girl screamed during a game of monopoly. Feeling quite frustrated with it all :/
In the same way that shooting a target range with a wide-spread shotgun does something. But it doesn't hit the target accurately. There are...
As someone who had their tinnitus get worse due to Lenire, the fact it's getting approved in the USA is very worrying. Thousands of vulnerable...
Come on chaps, life is already horrible for a lot of us - can't we put aside our differences in mutual acceptance and support of each other (even...
Thanks both for your kind words! Really appreciate you taking the time :) The spike has gone down a bit, as you say I think it lasts in your...
Hi All, This is a quick one. I was recently out with a friend, and I had 3 gin and tonics. Each drink with one of those small bottles of fever...
I know what you mean with the fear of worsening, it is just a matter of balance with remaining vigilant whilst also allowing yourself to relax. It...
Christmas may have spiked my T, but seeing family was worth it
Hey @tiniturk! I've been enjoying Christmas! Hope you have too! Hey snap on the tinnitus! That's similar to what mine is! Left ear 5/10 and...
Thanks for the reply @Lane! That seems to be a logical conclusion regarding chlorine levels. To update you, my tinnitus did go back to baseline...
Hi Everyone, I've always had problems with pressure and my ears (on airplanes etc), and my eardrums do have scarring on them since childhood...
In honesty, I don't think so. Getting a good night's sleep can work wonders for the mind and I think, with the serotonin boost of having no...
Not going to lie, that does worry me. I have not had the best of luck on these types of devices so I'll probably fall into an outlier group. It...
My thoughts are with @AfroSnowman on the TFI point, I think dB reduction is a far more reliable metric to use and the incorporation of TFI is...
Amazing work and some very exciting developments! I think I can speak for all of us when I say what you both have built here is such an important...
[ATTACH] To my mind this is fantastic news! Celebration! :rockingbanana:
[ATTACH] Sounds somewhat promising! Thank you @Hazel and @Markku for the invaluable work you do to aid our cause!
Hey All, I'm in the mild/severe camp of just tinnitus with a fresh spike underway, but I've certainly been suicidal at times even before...
Well, now I am in another spike. I was just driving back home yesterday (I have a 10 minute drive home from work) and a loud car went past me....
It's insane that this is the state of the UK. Having gone through the system myself, the fact that tinnitus sufferers have to lie to get the...
As someone based in the UK, I'd be keen to understand too. To be honest I'd be willing to travel to the US if needed.
In Shore we trust! I think it only works if you can modulate your tinnitus. Joke's on them, I have both kinds!
I think the sounds certainly may have seemed louder because they were previously being protected, and maybe an air gap, although I'm not sure this...
Holy hell glad I am not alone. I just had KFC yesterday and suffered possibly one of the worst spikes ever. My normal 3-4/10 hissing jumped to...
Hi Jonnie, Welcome! There's some great advice given already, but number one I would say is not to panic. Tinnitus has a relationship with...
This has been my exact experience as well, in addition to noise having an effect as @Sugarpuddle mentioned.
Thanks Sugarpuddle and Joe, I will look into the arthritis cream! My jaw muscles are very tender, this is made worse by caffeine. I got Botox...
I have this exact noise! It is certainly modulated by jaw movements, and I have been wearing a mandibular splint recently for the TMJ so I'll let...
Hi Everyone, So currently a heatwave is happening, and being a normal person I decided to buy a fan. This fan, in fact:...
Hey Scott, Thanks for the comment, I'm very sorry to hear about your present circumstances. I pray for your health and recovery, and I'm sure...
Hi Everyone, Thanks for the informative posts! I recently got Alpine PartyPlug Pro Ear Plugs), do you guys reckon they are okay? All the best,...
Hi @Nat-02, I just wanted to reach out because I know how difficult this time is for you. Know this, you are not alone. We are here to support and...
