Thank you. I pray your condition does not worsen, and remain hopeful that there is treatment on the horizon for all of us.

May I ask how many milligrams of Clonazepam you take on very bad days? Also, is your tinnitus noise-induced? Thank you.

Heavenly Father, I come before you with a heart full of gratitude for answering my prayer. Thank you for your faithfulness.

I had loud noise exposure at an indoor gun range with inadequate earmuffs. I did not shoot, but I was next to a stall where multiple shots were fired. I experienced ringing as soon as the earmuffs were removed in the lobby. My friend did not have any impact. I went on two weeks of steroids...

Thank you, @Larkspur. I found a handful of upper cervical chiropractors in the metro Detroit area. I will inquire if they specifically treat tinnitus due to loud noise exposure. Prayers and best wishes to you on your quest for relief.

Forgiveness can be the hardest part. My friend gave me the earmuffs and apologized after realizing they were not adequate for shooting. He withdrew from my recovery, and I think our friendship has suffered. Forgiveness is necessary. Focus on getting better, and do not let negativity impact your...

May I ask if you have ever combined Gabapentin with Clonazepam? If so, did this combination bring any relief? Thank you.

Need some encouraging news. I have to hold on to hope. I send prayers that this is the beginning of future treatments that bring relief and an end to suffering for the tinnitus community.

May I ask what kind of treatment your chiropractor provided? Adjustments, massages, any other therapy you can describe? If you had 2 months of relief, I would hope you can get back to that level of relief. Best wishes to you. Thank you.

Hello @Larkspur, Can you share more about the upper cervical trained chiropractor? What state are you located in? I'm wondering what type of adjustments or techniques he/she would use. Thank you.

I was at an indoor gun range and had inadequate earmuffs. The people in the next stall were shooting, and as soon as I removed my earmuffs, my ears started ringing. I experienced vibrations during conversations that disappeared after about three days. My anxiety made the episode worse, and the...

Some considerations: 1. Hearing aids with sound therapy, fans, and white noise machines never worked for me. Widex hearing aids have different sound features that you may find relaxing. I was resistant at first, but then I realized the hearing aids gave me a sense of control. Treble Health has...

Thank you for sharing. How long after the onset of your tinnitus did you begin flying? Did you use any particular form of ear protection on those flights, and what was the longest flight in hours? I love to travel, but now my tinnitus and hyperacusis are creating new boundaries. I used to enjoy...

Saying prayers for everyone who is struggling. May you find relief from your suffering very soon, so you can live life for and with your loved ones. @PeteJ and @another_person, Is there any way to get compassionate care for your severe tinnitus? I would hope that some type of treatment...

https://soundbites.com/ Yes, Soundbites is a supplement. I have no vested interest other than to share that I’ve been taking it for three months. I pay about $33 per month on the monthly plan. I’ve noticed my tinnitus has diminished, but if you look at my previous threads, you’ll see that I’m...

My tinnitus came from an indoor gun range. I was wearing earmuffs that were inadequate for that level of noise. It has been 18 months, and this is the treatment I am currently on: 50 mg of Zoloft daily in the morning. 1 mg of Klonopin, half in the morning and half in the early evening. A daily...

What level of decibel protection do you use in church? That’s my next step, to try ear protection during the music and louder parts of the service. Should I go with foam plugs, musician’s earplugs, or the type that resembles wax? Or maybe it doesn’t really matter, as long as the ears are...

I had loud noise exposure at an indoor gun range and used inadequate hearing protection. I later found out that my earmuffs were not manufactured for range use. I experienced ringing right away. I was put on 60 mg of Prednisone for 2 weeks, which I took faithfully. Almost 18 months later, my...

I’ve been praying for a treatment for the tinnitus community for the past 16 months. The Catholic Church has designated 2025 as the Year of Hope. What better timing could there be for a treatment to be revealed this year, offering not only hope but also a deeper faith that science can provide...

I had sciatica and found success with a series of three epidural steroid injections in 2022. That was before I developed noise-induced tinnitus in April 2024. I’m concerned that this upcoming epidural injection might spike or worsen my current tinnitus. Has anyone experienced a spinal injection...

Thank you for mentioning your faith and how it sustained you during this life change. That is such an important part of managing it successfully. Many blessings to you now and in the future.

I was called today by a woman in Florida, and I explained that I had already been declined back in March at Wayne State for the drug trial (injection). She mentioned that they are having difficulty finding participants. If you live in Michigan and are interested, here are two contacts: Jamal at...

Best wishes for a full recovery. You look so relieved in the photo. I’m happy to see you’re on the path to healing. Thank you for sharing.

Congratulations on your progress! Did the Phonak Lyric device provide masking or sound therapy? If so, did you wear it all the time to help mask the tinnitus? Thank you.

Dear @myself, Please know that others care and are praying for you. I will offer my next Mass for your intentions. Have you tried hearing aids with sound masking? I have found relief through that support. Also, a good doctor can recommend medication to help with depression or anxiety, if that...

My doctor prescribed 0.5 mg, one to two times daily, since October 2024. I also take 50 mg of Zoloft. I will pray for you, @delta784. Thank you, @linearb, for your very detailed response. Klonopin tends to lessen the distress, and my tinnitus has come a long way toward quieting down. I have...

I take 1.0 mg of Klonopin daily. I am 62 years old.

Good luck, and thank you for sharing. I am also using Clonazepam to manage the anxiety associated with tinnitus. I have read research suggesting that this medication can reduce the loudness, and I have found that to be true in my case. I am curious about increasing my dose to see if it might...

In the US, most audiologists will allow you to take home demo hearing aids to try out before deciding whether to purchase them. I purchased Widex hearing aids for about $3,800. I was told they are highly rated for tinnitus relief and considered expensive because they feature some of the best...

I also purchased hearing aids for relief through sound therapy, not for amplification. If this has brought you relief, it is well worth it. Mentally, I felt stronger and had a sense of control. I also take a product called Sound Bites, a supplement that contains Magnesium and vitamins A, C, and...

This is interesting. Wayne State University in Detroit had an open enrollment in the spring to recruit candidates with tinnitus resulting from noise-induced trauma. They were planning to test the same drug, also known as Enbrel, to determine whether this treatment can reduce tinnitus distress...

It would be great if you could be seated or stand near an exit to a hallway outside the auditorium. Being near an exit or door allows you to leave or take breaks without missing your child’s moment. I would talk to the staff. Often, schools have quiet spaces, such as offices, that might provide...

Thank you, @Fra. You made my day. Bless the possibilities and the progress in tinnitus research!

I have been using Widex hearing aids for sound therapy for about one year. I have mild hearing loss. I also take Clonazepam, 0.25 mg in the morning and 0.25 mg in the evening, along with 50 mg of Zoloft. These medications are part of my daily routine. My tinnitus is a result of loud noise...
