I have a Juiced CrossCurrent; it makes a hum, I can't hear it over the sound of breaking sticks and splashing mud and I don't, personally, use...

I just wanted to bump this to say: I decided that the inexpensive alto sax I had produced unreasonably high pitched squeaks and sqaks that made me...

@Quintus, I really appreciate your thoughts here and I do think you're speaking to a real problem, but I think it has everything to do with...

Bill, your posts have consistently struck a chord with me, because I empathize heavily with the suffering you and so many of us feel, and, just...

It's thorny and basically amounts to being an almost useless process at this point because while the FDA certainly has requirements and performs...

It is, and beliefs are very dangerous; certainly I believed in hearing damage during the event that caused my trauma in 2010 and I'd read all...

Look, if we didn't allow crony capitalism, the capitalists wouldn't be able to Wealth Redistribute to their cronies. All is going according to...

I strongly agree; the only exception might be people like Richard D. James who are absolutely obsessive about extremely specific sound design and...

I think most self-described "audiophiles" are lunatics who exist to be a target demographic for insane stuff like gold plated HDMI cables, and...

Seeing this thread being slightly active caused me to go make an effort post I've been meaning to do for a while: → Constructing a Nice...

Yep, vision has gotten significantly worse in the last 25 years too.

I don't actually know, so here's a long and maybe boring case history! When I was 19, at onset, I'd already had exposure to: ADHD drugs that...

Since 2017 and "no one knows". I've withdrawn from this dose of Clonazepam before after years of use and it was a slow and fairly painful process....

No; my belief is that one of the isomers in Baclofen helps with tinnitus and the other competes with this effect. All prescription Baclofen I am...

I am going to back off saying it was a square wave, it was an enveloped beep of some kind that was less harsh than just listening to a bunch of...

Multi tone, most annoying is oscillatory stuff that's predominately left but also centralized and in the 12 kHz range. For me reactivity is a...

I'm just going to speak to this directly since my old posts are buried under years of cruft. The trial was in early 2016. This is what I...

I also posted this in the Clonazepam (Klonopin, Rivotril) thread: I've reduced from 900 mg Gabapentin to 300 mg, split now to 100 mg pills,...

I took it for a few weeks. I thought it was super fucking weird and then it caused me pelvic floor muscle problems that persisted for 2 months....

I've reduced from 900 mg Gabapentin to 300 mg, split now to 100 mg pills, looking at cutting to 200 mg, then 100 mg. I will probably stay on the...

Yeah at the moment, given my current level of disability and everything else in my life and the godsend that are benzodiazepines, I enjoy life....

if it's impacting my memory or appetite, it's doing so less than the cannabis I take and I don't notice, ha. My memory is good enough to do...

I am down to Gabapentin 600 mg, sometimes 300 mg, from 600-900 mg a while ago. I may try to get off the Gabapentin entirely in 2023. If I am able...

I don't know what you read, but I'm usually sort of careful in how I describe "habituation", since I still take 2 drugs to manage anxiety that is...

We don't have to agree, but, my viewpoint on this is: they were overprescribed for a long time and then Purdue cooked the golden goose with their...

Any CBD or THC product is suspect to me; the commercial cannabis industry is awful and cares about its users about as much as the tobacco and oil...

CBD doesn't do anything useful for me, FWIW. THC oil at doses of 100 mg plus give me the best sleep I ever get, but also destroys my dream recall...

Do you have some citations on this? I've read basically every research paper I know of about benzos and tinnitus. I take Clonazepam daily at a...

I don't think anyone should be forced back into the office during an ongoing pandemic that's killing ~10-15k Americans a month; however, this is...

Just another boring update from me. I got boosted again (Pfizer bivalent). Even less side effects than last one. This is looking like a flu shot...

Great to hear all this Carlos. Can you tell me how long you spent ramping down the Gabapentin and from what dose? I want to get off that one I think.

Yeah I feel you on that, there is really no in between for me, personally: once I go through the annoyance of withdrawal, staying entirely...

No long term changes that I've noticed. Sometimes I feel like intake causes a short term elevation, but, when I plug my ears or try to volume...

I grow it and I use "a substantial amount" but it's hard to put a number on that. I go through around an ounce of flower a week but I turn it all...

Possibly, but so is protracted stress, anxiety and depression ;) I say possibly because some studies have shown this, on the other hand this one...

I'm just here to suffer as little as possible during my time in Samsara, and help others to do the same. If leaning on some pills or a plant or...

I have sound and noise sensitivity and there are things other people tolerate fine that are "non damaging" which I find physically painful but my...

I can speak to this because I've gotten into making music as a direct result of my tinnitus. When it's bad, I am listening to stuff "through the...

i subbed out the SSRI for Gabapentin and I use cannabis for sleep instead of Ambien but we're in a similar boat. I'm gonna start tapering the...

This is also what led me to this, combination, but, again it also has a lot to do with my personal medical history and history with benzos. That...

Thanks :ROFL: :ROFL: Yes this comes up so much and I feel bad because I genuinely believe this drug combination is pretty dangerous and also...

Quite right, thanks for the correction.

We do, and so we balance a lot of stuff. General wariness had caused me to avoid flu vaccines for a long time. When we had kids my wife encouraged...

We won't have real hard numbers on a lot of this for years, if ever. Certainly worth considering that a lot of the vaccinated have also had...

Looking at adverse incidents from VAERS plus a number of large-body studies on vaxx side effects as the left side of the ratio; estimated...

I take almost ten times that dose, and it bioaccumulates substantially (30 hour half life) such that taking 2 mg a day ends up equaling a blood...

Nope, 2 mg 1st thing w/glass of water. Long half life. Splitting dose barely matters. I wouldn't say it got worse as much as I got sick of...

It's pretty hard to answer that because I just don't think about it in the same way anymore, or, really, much at all. It's just a thing, it's...

2 mg of Klonopin + 600 mg of Gabapentin, daily. Not ideal. So far, substantial improvement over dealing with this bullshit unmedicated. If it...

I'd try to fix your jaw with a competent TMJ doctor before going on benzos, even though I also think Lorazepam is weakass garbage I can barely...

Too long ago and that was back when I thought about my tinnitus constantly in a way, which, knock on wood I just haven't since I went back on...

Yeah @emmalee, clearly if I'd had your experience I'd be a lot more dubious about further shots. As it is... well, I had three, it wasn't fun and...

I am sorry to hear you've had a more difficult experience, but, I believe mine to be "quite typical". I have a half dozen friends with tinnitus...

I had substantial spikes after all three Pfizer shots, in the worst case it took me 3-4 weeks to get back to baseline. I still plan on getting...

Sorry, I am not a doctor and I am not vaguely qualified to answer this, I only know that I take 600 mg of Gabapentin a day which seems to do...

No. These devices do not try to modulate the DCN. This is accomplished through paired, precisely timed audio and electrical impulses You need...

i posted a lot in the Dr. Susan Shore thread in the Research News forum about the specifics. Location of noise doesn't matter as long as your...

Cannabis withdrawal is real and fairly well documented. Temporary tinnitus or increases in tinnitus from acute use are also fairly well...
