And here's me no longer able to hear sounds that I could just five years ago when my tinnitus wasn't so loud. Good thing we have such studies to...

I had the same experience with the question about hearing loss. Mine is in the mid-frequencies, but the options were only for low and high...

I recently went through a bout of vertigo (also known as vestibular neuritis or labyrinthitis). According to what I read, these conditions are...

I take Tylenol frequently (migraines) and have never had a problem with it.

Still haven't had the new audiogram, and it's probably about time to do so. Thanks for the reminder!

NR gives me palpitations as well, although NMN does not. Regular exercise seems to help. I try to alternate the two supplements but on an...

Yes, many people have improved over time. It's very early days for you, so in your place I would be very hopeful. Since your tinnitus has an...

I haven't yet, I'm waiting until I think that my hearing has stopped improving. I'll definitely post the results when I have a new audiogram.

I don't think anyone is claiming there is a conspiracy. What I'm hearing from tinnitus sufferers is frustration with a certain... blindness... to...

I would hesitate to make any blanket statements about what any medication will or will not do, especially in relation to as heterogeneous a...

Alive by Nature. You can order directly from the company or from Amazon. They have sublingual tablets that are more convenient than the powder,...

I vary the dosage, and even skip several days from time to time. I started with 125 mg of NR twice a day, but I take the sublingual NMN powder...

I get NR from Amazon or from the TruNiagen web site. As someone noted, TruNiagen sells 150 mg capsules and Basis has only 125 mg. In addition,...

I've been taking the recommended doses of NR or NMN (a related compound, also a NAD precursor) for about a year and a half. I had slight hearing...

It could be an interesting group project to develop something like Tinnitus for Dummies or What Tinnitus Sufferers Wish Their Doctors Understood....

Personally I wouldn't drive with ear muffs - I want to hear what's going on around me. For example, I always hear emergency vehicles before I see...

Adding to this, have you uncovered connections between tinnitus and other neurological conditions such as migraines or restless leg syndrome? If...

Nicotinamide riboside.

Take a look at nicotinamide riboside (NR), which is a form of vitamin B3. It has been shown to prevent noise induced hearing loss in mice. I...

Losing weight can reduce inflammation, which may also help calm your tinnitus. As long as you lose weight sensibly, it can only help with all...

Acoustic neuromas are non-cancerous and pretty uncommon. The good thing about them is that they are treatable, and if your tinnitus is a result...

I've heard stories of people on low-carb diets being able to get rid of diabetes medication and lowering their glucose levels. I had a friend who...

I can understand them wanting to reassure new patients, but I think this kind of a message discourages potential researchers or investors - why...

If I were worried about metal toxicity, I'd look for an open-minded doctor who understands that such things are real and who can treat the...

Good point, although I would think that potential issues could be obscured by MS symptoms.

Yes, and I refused to use the dye. I'm allergic to a number of meds (generally the stuff that's well tolerated by others - the really dangerous...

The FDA always says that. It reflects what happens to the population as a whole - it says nothing about what happens to individuals. For some...

I've been taking NR for about 15 months now. Had complete hearing loss in a small range of frequencies in one ear - a car backfired as I walked...

I take Tylenol/acetaminophen all the time (allergic to NSAIDs) and have done so for many years. Doesn't affect my tinnitus one way or the other.

I had an audiogram in late 2013 that showed a complete loss of hearing at 7500 MHz in my right ear. (This was a surprise since I hadn't noticed...

Even though the names are similar, nicotinamide is not related to nicotine in tobacco and the two substances have very different effects on the...

All of the NR is produced by a single company (ChromaDex). ChromaDex sells the product to other companies such as LifeExtension or HPN, but they...

Yes, confirmed by audiograms. I started taking NR last year after reading reports that it protected mice from noise-induced hearing loss. My...

I'd say that, all things being equal, a counselor with tinnitus will be more effective. One of the hardest things about this condition is the...

I take 250 mg. per day, divided into 125 mg. in the morning and again in the evening. My hearing has continued to improve. It started with very...

I agree with @linearb and @Kita1. I took anti-GERD medication for only 3 weeks, and it turned a barely-noticeable condition (no heartburn ever,...

What really annoys me is that every store nowadays seems to be playing loud music for their customers' "enjoyment". I guess it's time to push...

I added a comment that the answers to the questions are dependent on the condition(s) that a person has. Things like depression and anxiety can...

I think the lack of compassion comes from the fact that others have no clue what tinnitus is like. We can sympathize with pain because we've all...

That's exactly how mine started. I developed other, minor neurological complaints around the same time, so I suspect the real problem is in my...

NR is nicotinamide riboside, related to vitamin B3 and a precursor to NAD+ which is essential for cellular metabolism and which lessens as we age....

OK, that outdoes me. :) At least mine's not reactive. On the other hand, I used to get a low-pitched humming sound in both ears when I shook...

I have multiple sounds, some tonal, some hissing/electrical, some clicks and pops, some constant and some intermittent, in varying degrees of...

I have similar symptoms. I talked to an ENT to rule out Meniere's, and he said it's migraine-associated vertigo. I get vestibular migraines, which...

Agree. The only thing that always quiets down my tinnitus is getting 10 hours of sleep. Unfortunately the only way I can force myself to get 10...

Dry eye can be really unpleasant, I'd rather listen to my noisy ears. (Can I say that on a tinnitus forum? ;)) I also discovered that the more I...

I also have dry eye. What I found to be helpful: 1) adding fish oil to my diet; 2) cutting way back on sugar; and 3) getting enough sleep (stops...

If you want a chuckle, check out the Amazon reviews by George Takei, who played Sulu on the original Star Trek series. I wonder what he'd make of...

Not sure, although I'd guess sensorineural only. I just uploaded my audiogram, hope you can make more sense of it than I can. The only thing I...

In late August I began taking this supplement. Experiments in mice show that it can prevent and even reverse noise induced hearing loss....

Oops, misread the multiplication. However, in math multiplication is always done before addition unless you put the addition operation in...

In the US, anyone can sue just about anyone else for just about anything. The bottom line is: would you win? Trying to hold someone else...

17 drink = 10 burger = 5 fries = 2 So a burger with a drink and fries = 10+5+2 = 17 (or way too many calories)

Yes, have habituated. Once in a while I catch myself listening for it, but mostly I kinda hear it and don't hear it at the same time. Weird,...

I also have high-pitched tinnitus in both ears, and I also made myself habituate. I used a combination of mindfulness meditation and sheer,...

I have vestibular migraines, and your symptoms sound a lot like what I experience. I smell things that aren't there a few days before, followed...

YES to questions 1, 2 and 3, NO to question 4 (I'm never careless about my hearing now), and YES to question 5 (although once in a while I miss...

My younger brother got a piece of soybean inside his ear, and my mother found out when the bean sprouted. The ENT said that everytime he thinks...

My tinnitus gets louder if I lie flat on my back, quiets down if I lie on my side (probably related to position of jaw). So it may not be sleep...
