Thanks for taking the time to reach out @Markku. Like someone else already mentioned, this group was in need of a reality check. Let's just wait...

I am *this* close to writing a success story. Tinnitus hasn't reduced in the slightest, but habituation is real.

I do want to have an informal conversation with the person who thought it would be good idea to go to a rock concert while he or she was in the...

The only reason why I'm still on TinnitusTalk is to read up on updates from Dr. Shore or TU Delft, lmao.

Happy new year everyone! A random thought crossed my mind: how many people below the age of 25 visit this site regularly? I’m 25 myself.

My T is so f’n loud when I’m laying in bed trying to sleep. I luckily can still sleep but my anxiety is through the roof.

Aside from other obvious health advantages, is cutting sugar out of your diet good to combat tinnitus? Has it been proven?

So Shore’s device is at least 2 years away, TU Delft device no updates and XEN no updates. We’re going to die with this condition, aren’t we

Maybe it isn’t, haha. However, I can keep my mind off of it for like 90% of the day. Even when there’s a moment of silence and I can hear my...

Well, here it is. My 1-year update. I have almost completely habituated to my tinnitus. The hyperacusis which I initially had is completely gone,...

I capitulated and went to the aforementioned free concert. Did not spike nor had any other side-effects. I hope we can all enjoy this feelin

Apparently I won free tickets to a concert which I registered for a couple of months ago, before I decided I wouldn't go anymore. Unsure!

My hyperacusis is fully gone but there is still 1 sound which I just cannot ignore: sizzling during cooking. Very sensitive to that sound.

I forget my T for most of the day until I put on my noise cancelling headphones. Then it sounds like laser beams are crossing each other.

In what timeframe can tinnitus heal completely? It’s been almost a year for me with little to no improvement, maybe even worsened (slightly)

@Ja1’97, how are you feeling bro? I’m in the same boat as you. 25 years old and got tinnitus from a loud club, wearing no hearing protection....

Went to a party on Saturday. No spike!

Thought I was habituated, not the case. Had a bad day today tinnitus-wise but life goes on, I guess

Today was the first day since onset that I had zero stress about my tinnitus. Nice.

Good news: my ear pain was actually just my wisdom tooth. No more ear pain since tooth has been pulled, which I’m VERY happy with.

I assume you’ll be okay and even if your tinnitus increases, it’ll be temporary. Please do work out and try to stay in good health. I go to the...

Ah, thanks for the information. Do you know if this movement could warrant a permanent worsening of the tinnitus? I was almost fully habituated to...

What an amazing story, very happy for you! Could you please enlighten us as to what you exactly did to get better? Stopped going to concerts,...

I have now visited two ENTs in my country who are experienced with “treating” tinnitus and I asked them both the same question: is it safe to use...

Just got back from vacation. A week in the village of my parents. I haven’t felt so peaceful for a long time. T still there, unfortunately.

Couldn’t have said it better. I want to be here for the day where I can finally say “I beat it!”.

Just had a hearing test at another hospital. Hearing is still “perfect”. ENT told me to not pay attention to T, lol.

Any update, @SmallRonnie?

I still listen to music via ANC headphones, albeit on low volume and only when I’m in the gym, which is 4 * 1-1.5 hour per week. It doesn’t affect...

That’s because people that did get better left Tinnitus Talk and never came back. People that did worsen are indeed still active but (at least)...

Since my tinnitus went from mild to moderate, my QoL reduced significantly. I have stopped going to concerts (which almost all of my friends still...

Hi @AnthonyMcDonald, I had another question. Aside from completely avoiding loud places, I am also wondering if I should stop using my ANC...

That’s most probably true, I just wanted to try :)

As of today, I will take an Acai supplement twice a day (together with NAC and Magnesium bisglycinate). If I have any improvement, I will come...

This is by far the best advice you can give her (aside from going to the proper professionals of course).

Actually insane.

Yo man, how are you? Been a minute since I last saw your thread, hope everything’s OK?

Something that bothers me more than my T is ear pain. I don't thinks it's nox., what can I take to relief me a bit from this pain?

I don't know why but when I wake up, I am experiencing near-silence. Like the T is just almost completely absent. Comes back after 10 mins.

Hi, fellow Nederlander! Your profile posts really gave me hope, thanks for posting!

I spent the whole day in my head Do a little spring cleaning, I'm always too busy dreaming Well, maybe I should wake up instead A lot of things I...

I see you’re from Istanbul. Please stay strong, brother. There HAS TO BE light at the end of the tunnel.

I have decided to not visit loud events (like concerts, raves, etc) anymore. Just not worth the risk. I have moderate T, let’s keep it so.

Yes, I do still feel it comes specifically from my ears. Especially when I lay down on my left side, I can hear my tinnitus very loud. That’s not...

The part after “Now...” is very good to hear, I’m happy for you! Let’s hope that it decreases even further and that you will do more things that...

It has been 6 months since my tinnitus onset so I thought it’s time for an update. My tinnitus remained a mild, unilateral (left) sound until last...

Hi samatx, hope all is well! I just saw your last post regarding your recovery. Did you in the meantime, while recovering from your acoustic...

Went raving for the first time after my T onset. Loved it. Have a small spike atm but no emotional reaction to it.

Back again. Tinnitus still there, as always. Stable, but at times very loud. 0 improvement. I absolutely detest this condition.

Taking a break from TinnitusTalk. Found out that this site influences my mental wellbeing more than I want it to. Stay strong everyone!!

Hope you’re better now!

It will most likely settle with time. I’m just 25 years old, and I’m almost habituated to the sound (although I have a pretty bad spike now). Take...

I mean, I (kind of) don’t blame ENT doctors who do not have any knowledge about Dr. Shore’s device. Most of them don’t have tinnitus themselves,...

I too have very loud crackling sounds in my left ear whenever I close my mouth, whenever I yawn or whenever my jaw just moves in general. I have...
