When my girlfriend's daughter (17 years old) had COVID-19 in April, she was getting an ear pain in one ear and had very sensitive ears. She...

Okay, explain to me how this is nonsense. Disprove what they found (78 out of 100 people with something on their heart). These were also...

Stats in my area show this is 5 times deadlier than the flu. Hardly just marginal. I also know people who work in hospitals. It was God awful...

Surprised to see so many people on this forum in particular still equating this with the flu or a cold or some kind of conspiracy. I know several...

I wore ear plugs and headphones for several abdominal MRIs over a few yr period. Never had an issue with my ears or my T.

https://nypost.com/2020/07/31/covid-19-survivors-may-lose-hearing-sense-of-smell-and-taste/ That is concerning. When I visited Dr. Jastreboff...

I'm not sure if you would only want to use the masker in one ear or not - I would think both ears still as you're attempting introduce a new sound...

I've been doing TRT since March 2017 (met with Dr. J). I feel it has only increased my habituation very slightly. My entire problem is on "loud...

You seem to want to argue. I've had lots of louder exposures in my life (music, home theater, etc.) It was an odd combination of somewhat loud...

4-5 days a week my T is so loud that I can hear it in the shower. The other 2-3 days a week it's very quiet that I barely can hear it. Ear noise...

They The Headphones were the trigger for sure. I visited Dr. Jastreboff and he said based on tests, my hearing loss was not typical of that...

Digital doc, I actually got my Tinnitus from poor quality headphones (in Nov 2014). I was doing some online training at my job - borrowed a...

Thanks. So do you listen to music with these as they do the canceling? Totally unfamiliar with them.

Are noise cancelling headphones where you can listen to music? I have just basic ear protection headphones such as when mowing the lawn.

I had my upper right molar extracted a couple of days ago (#3 tooth) as I will be getting an implant. He did have to use the drill for several...

I've had T for about 2.5 years. I had my teeth cleaned early this afternoon- mostly manually done, but the hygienist used a device that had a...

How are they working for you? Did they help you habituate? And do you use a hearing aid at all?

What's a fair price for just custom in-ear maskers (non hearing aid)? I'm in the U.S. and my audiologist quoted me $2400 for both ears. Is that...

My T started two years ago this month. I'm 44. I developed an anxiety issue a year before my T started as well as some occasional insomnia...

I guess I am going to try a hearing aid or rather "test" one out. I want to get TRT therapy, but have been told by a couple of TRT experts that...

TJeff, I had the initial test done by a reputable pro. I just meant I took the iphone one and it seemed to basically correlate. That $6000-7000...

What does it sound like wearing a hearing aid? I mean does it sound as natural as when you're not wearing one? Also, is anyone wearing the...

Thanks, Richard. Some hearing aids also produce some white noise as an option too, correct? So can it be a bit like "TRT-lite"? My T is up and...

Do the hearing aids still allow one to habituate? And do you at all find an issue when you take them out at night to sleep?

Have you tried TRT with someone trained under Dr. Jastreboff? I am considering a hearing aid, or perhaps just TRT but I would have to go out of...

I've been on the same dose of Valium the last two years (I stay between 5 mg to 7.5 mg 30 minutes before bedtime). You just have to remained...

Often Valium is used to wean someone off a benzo - especially such a short acting one such as Xanax. Valium has a very long half-life and a very...

It depends on what kind of splint. There are different kinds, but they can run that high. I would still get at least one more opinion as there...

I read a lot of medical information and studies. Most recent research has shown that Omega 3 from actual fish (i.e. Salmon, etc.) is much more...

My T started in Nov 2014. I'm a 44 yr old male. I already had some bad anxiety issues from the year before (my father passed away, etc.). I was...

I wasn't aware that Benzos could cause T. Several doctors I saw said it was highly unlikely. My T started about 7 months after being on Klonopin...

I've had Tinnitus for about a year now. I also have some hearing loss (I'm 43, male). 4-5 days per weeks its what I consider fairly low...2-3...

Buspar can cause ear ringing too. My Tinnitus started when I was taking it, but I don't think it was the cause...I think it was a weird, louder...

I've been on 5 mg to 10 mg nightly of Valium for the last year. I vary the dose to keep the body from fully adapting while getting the anxiety...

I've tried three different SSRIs because I do have some anxiety issues - I tried Paxil, Lexapro, and Zoloft. After about 3-4 days, each of them...

Trazodone is an antidepressant, but under 150 mg it doesn't really work as one as there is not enough chemical in it to stimulate serotonin which...

I take a relatively low dose valium, but am starting to wean off it. This is what I have found effective for sleep. I've had insomnia issues in...

Thank you, sir. Does this go for all "-mycin" antibiotics? I am allergic to Penicillin (got hives last time I took it as a kid - although no...

Dr. Nagler, I have taken Zithromax a number of times in the past when I had no Tinnitus. No issues then, However, now that I have Tinnitus,...

Just thought I would give an update on my Tinnitus. It's been just over five months since it started and I created this thread. The condition is...

I have TMJ issues and my ENT doctor said it's possibly playing a role in my T, but wasn't sure as I do have some hearing loss. But I do get jaw...

Having had T for 5 weeks now, but the last couple of days I have been getting a new T sound that gets very loud and almost sounds like an echo'ing...

Nor did I imply that's all you would have to do. Taking an SSRI doesn't change the fact the vast majority of Serotonin is found in the gut. ADs...

You might want to try Trazodone for sleep. It also has a short-half life so less daytime grogginess. I found it to be the best "sleep" med and I...

With Remeron, you might find smaller dosages more sedating than larger ones.

If I recall correctly, 95% of Seratonin is produced in the gut.

Lynn, If your doctor wants the MRI done, get it done. Just wear good earplugs. Don't let your fear/emotions interfere with the business of...

That's not true. If you are referring to priapism, that has only been documented in a handful of cases and is extraordinarily rare. I'm a male...

Dr. Charlie, Suicidal cases have never been directly related to ADs and any association is very, very fringe at best. Many people with severe...

With any anti-depressant, you're really not going to know how you respond to it until you try it and it usually takes several weeks and in some...

The reason I ask is there are saliva tests for cortisol, but the blood test you had is more accurate.

Which method/test did you use to measure your cortisol?

I could see the drowsiness wearing off a bit in time...it's just getting through that initial dreadful period that is the big challenge (for me).

I tried it for several days on a couple of occasions for insomnia and anxety issues. It made me VERY groggy, but didn't help me sleep. I felt so...

There really isn't any difference between ADs in which one might help more so with anxiety over depression and vice versa. The same area of the...

My T started within two weeks after being on Buspar. Coincidence? Maybe, but the drug was giving me bad dizziness too.

My T started when I was already on Klonopin although I don't believe it caused it and I switched to Valium and there was no change still. I don't...
