Separate names with a comma.
An interesting argument and I agree with a lot of what you say (though not everything). Interestingly, the BTA a long time ago had a discussion...
Hi, I managed to habituate to tinnitus quite some time ago. It wasn't easy and took quite some time. However, I would say absolutely the most...
Look at it this way - in terms of deciding whether to try Lenire you are in a much better position than the people three years ago who had to...
So you said: But here's some (apparent) news for you. Tinnitus is a subjective condition which means there is no objective measure of whether a...
The clue really is in my previous post which said: So if you wish to enquire further I would read through the user reviews thread (now many pages...
Yes, some of us were extremely sceptical about the Lenire device from the very beginning and questioned whether Tinnitus Talk giving it such...
£190 for some mindfulness therapy you could quite easily get online - that is if you are that keen and really think you would find it helpful - is...
I'd be very, very cautious about what you do from now on. You say that: That initial hyperacusis was a warning sign to make major changes in...
Sorry to hear of your tinnitus onset. I think you have been given good advice regarding the cause of your tinnitus. Stress can make tinnitus worse...
Sorry to hear of your bad experience with MRIs. You're right about the dangers and the frequent lack of warnings regarding the decibel levels. I...
I wouldn't claim to know what the cause of your tinnitus was. Stress on its own can very often make pre-existing tinnitus worse - but the...
In general there is quite a lot of truth to this, though it does crucially depend on the cause. With some common causes of tinnitus such as ear...
First of all sorry to hear of your tinnitus due to MRI. They can be crazily loud, I had one a couple of months ago and with double protection of...
I had the AstraZeneca vaccine yesterday. No impact on my tinnitus at all. No noticeable side effects apart from slight headache that evening which...
This is what I wrote about what was to become Lenire in December 2018 (when it was still calling itself MuteButton Two): December 2018: "The folk...
I can completely empathise with your situation as this is how I felt nine years ago. I have now fully habituated to tinnitus, no longer suffer...
But if you speak to NHS workers as I have done, you'll realise that they don't particularly want or need your sympathy. What they do want and need...
It's what that nurse said - having had quite a lot of contact with NHS workers recently, most of them incredibly stressed and overworked from the...
You do seem to be misremembering what you actually said so let me remind you. From the context you make it pretty clear that you think this...
That did make me laugh. I'm not remotely slandering you (it would be libel not slander incidentally as slander implies spoken defamation). Reading...
All the people you quote have hugely downplayed the significance and impact of COVID-19 - that makes them COVID-19 deniers in much the same way as...
No you didn't. So just to repeat what I actually said - a graduate or postgraduate level of education is a big advantage when searching for...
Reading comprehension is fairly basic here. Maybe you could reread what I actually wrote: And here, in terms of searching for specialist...
Asking questions is perfectly fine - it's what most human beings do. It's the process by which we search for information and evaluate the...
As someone living in the UK, witnessing the death of 100,000 of my fellow citizens with COVID-19, I have to stress that it's not about what one...
I've taken Paracetamol on and off over the years with absolutely no impact on my tinnitus. It's possible that if you take the maximum prescribed...
This is a really interesting point and I think it's worth analysing why this is the case. Some clinicians no doubt worry about patients picking up...
This seems like a promising idea - well done on setting it up. What I would most like to learn about is what the organisations you have mentioned...
The UK has recorded today the highest death toll from COVID-19 - over 1500 people. The actual death toll from COVID-19 in the UK now tops over...
That's good news, in which case the ATA is in sharp contrast to the BTA, whose research fund has funded little other than mindfulness studies over...
Interesting to know. The fact that someone is driven to stealing Prednisone from their place of work to treat their acoustic shock because they...
I'd just like to say I think it is really awful that you are in the position of having to buy Prednisone illegally from stores rather than being...
Being British I am certainly more aware of what tinnitus research the BTA has been funding or failing to fund over the past decade. These include...
Completely agree with you @Lucifer. One of the lessons of COVID-19 is that venues - clubs, bars, restaurants - may complain about new health and...
I agree with a lot of what you say. The key thing to realise is that the focus on "tinnitus distress" instead of loudness or curative research...
I completely agree Tanni, but I shouldn't take it to heart. The guy to whom you are referring is just an idiot. As well as the incredible...
Quote from The Benefits of Mindfulness by Marks: Now we know what the BTA will be wasting its research funds on over the next couple of years....
Someone who has been directly affected by either cancer or COVID-19, either as a patient or close relative of a patient, is going to have a much...
So just to clarify Bill. I find your belief that you understand the impact of COVID-19 so much better than the people on here who have been...
Bill Bauer's views on Covid are understandably deeply insulting to those who have suffered the bad effects of Covid themselves or seen its impact...
I've never bothered with the flu vaccine, partly because it only seems to be around 40-60% effective, but I will probably take a COVID-19 vaccine,...
I agree - far too many of these sociological studies duplicating pre-existing research in many cases. The reason there are so many of these...
All over now. The only outstanding question is whether Trump's final presidential pardons will include one for his interior decorator for crimes...
Regardless of ones political beliefs it really is sad that such misogynistic rhetoric and racist slurs are being given (limited) publicity on this...
I completely agree that it is difficult to give good quality tinnitus counselling unless you have tinnitus yourself. However, I've met quite a...
I've been avoiding contributing to this thread as I live in the UK, but wow the level of frankly poisonous, racist and libellous allegations in...
I certainly agree with you Michael on CBT. The majority of CBT therapists have very limited knowledge of tinnitus and hyperacusis and all too...
I think this is an important point and I think a good argument for giving these therapies a go. However, the counter-argument is that you can get...
UK death rate ten per cent higher than normal for this time of year as a result of COVID-19: https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/health-54785358 Sadly we...
I'd be pretty cautious about CBT for tinnitus and hyperacusis as well. It very much depends on the CBT counselling you get but often a large part...
Love Elizabeth Bowen, though not read any for a while. The House in Paris, The Death of the Heart and The Heat of the Day my personal favourites.
Hi, in terms of being in the early stages of tinnitus as a result of acoustic shock: 1. I'd be careful about any kind of white noise sound...
Headphones are a definite no, especially as you are so early into having hyperacusis, but even later on probably not a good idea. I'd be very,...
Interesting to have Neuromod's own research on Lenire's efficacy. Perhaps unsurprisingly they appear to deliver some impressive looking figures...
It seems very odd to prescribe someone with hearing aids if they don't have any significant hearing impairment - potentially that could easily...
It really all depends what you mean by "healing" and what caused your hearing problems and tinnitus in the first place. Something like an ear...
Ultimately it has to be your decision whether to take these. I have taken antibiotics in the past with no impact on my tinnitus, it's several...
I would be definitely extremely cautious about what you do from now on. It's important to remember that both tinnitus and hyperacusis can get...
Your ears are showing all the symptoms of a classic acoustic trauma. It may well have been listening to headphones that triggered it, or it may...
