Unfortunately when I healed, the last place I wanted to be was on a tinnitus forum. I do wish I had called in from time to time and had seen the...

I’ve been getting an average of about 3 hours sleep for the past 5 months. Habituation is difficult for severe tinnitus but it can be done. It...

I healed completely from severe tinnitus after two years. I lived in lovely silence for 3.5 years until November 2021 when I took the Pfizer jab....

The holiday was in Malta. I am absolutely sure the vaccination caused the return of my tinnitus. I had virtually zero tinnitus for several years...

I was almost 4 years free of severe tinnitus. It had started in 2016 and ended in 2018. Then I took Pfizer in November last year. Severe tinnitus...

Nothing really other than listen to the sounds of nature intently. The sound of the sea especially. It's all about calming the nervous system as...

Be careful not to take too much medication. The body has enough to deal with without all these strange substances being thrown at it. I recovered...

Thanks Deb. I am at a very low point at the moment. To have been free of all noises for years. Then to have everything come back with additional...

That’s interesting Deb. Thanks. Hadn’t thought along those lines. Is it easy to be prescribed LDN by doctors? The low histamine diet is probably...

Hang on in there. I have been through this before. Suicidal in 2016. In 2 years or so I was back living a normal life with very low tinnitus....

Can’t say. Mine wasn’t brought on by antihistamines afaik.

Yes, that hum went away after about a year. I suspect it may have been some kind of inflammation of the mastoid as that was only thing that showed...

The hum may be your ear picking up blood flow through your blood vessels. I had that for a while some years ago. Recently due to the vaccine...

My nightmare began 8 days after my first Pfizer jab. Reading up it takes a week or 8 days for the vaccine to kick in. It seems that the vaccine...

I went a few years with extremely low tinnitus after about 4 years of severe tinnitus. I got very severe pulsatile tinnitus and tinnitus back...

My tinnitus started a week after the Pfizer vaccine in November. Before that, I had recovered completely from tinnitus for 3 years. One jab and...

Most likely your tinnitus will go away over time maybe a year or a bit more. The first months with tinnitus are horrendous but something happens...

I am reading a book at the moment by Ram Dass called ‘Still Here’. I would recommend it. He talks of our two states - our Soul Body which is...

Sounds horrific to me.

I had almost full remission after 2 and a half years with one spike a year later for a week. I almost immediately went back to my old normal....

It is weird. I think I had COVID-19 in early 2020 before anybody really knew it by name. It didn’t affect my ears in any way. No problems...

Pulsatile tinnitus can also be caused by inflammation of the vascular system and inflammation of the mastoid bone. Often this can take a while to...

I can agree with this. It took me over 2 years for me. I never liked white noises though. Eventually the noises faded away by themselves. I wish...

It is very frustrating Deb. Tinnitus had stopped being part of my life for a number of years. The sounds were barely perceptible. That all changed...

As has been said, things will improve as the months roll by. There is very little you can do until the limbic brain calms down. I’ve been...

As someone who has been through this process a couple of times. It’s natural to try and protect yourself during the first few months of onset or...

Interesting. Very sad to hear of his suffering. There are parallels with my own journey. I had recovered almost completely from both pulsatile...

I’m lucky to have an understanding partner. She has seen me through tinnitus once before. It makes getting through doubly hard when people don’t...

I believe my tinnitus journey started with a middle ear infection. It caused perforation in my left ear twice in a couple of months. My tinnitus...

To rub salt in my wounds I only got jabbed at the end of November. Now we see the pandemic is almost over. Yet myself and others will be left to...

Definitely get a test done if you fear SSHL. It sounds like you’ve got ‘normal’ tinnitus but any test that reduces fear and reduces stress is...

You’re in the very early stages when panic is at its worst. Things will probably remain that way for a few months. Its always the same with...

Thanks Werner. I’m not sure whether the pulsatile tinnitus is subjective. I haven’t gone to anyone to assess that yet. Good to hear that you...

I am not trying to defend feudal Tibet and it was basically feudal up to the mid 20th Century. I don't think the Dalai Lama had much choice where...

It took 4 years to get rid of tinnitus. You can read my posts detailing the journey by clicking on my name. Very little works except activating...

I have read some of it. Good stuff. I do think the mixing of any philosophy whether secular or religious with politics is nearly always a bad...

I think you should actually read Buddhist texts. There are no calls for eye gouging or serfdom in them. Yes feudal Tibet was not ideal but no...

I tried Saffron a few years ago and it definitely did reduce the level of my tinnitus somewhat.

Interesting post Werner. I have acquired severe pulsatile tinnitus as a result of a COVID-19 vaccine. It sounds quite similar to yours. At night...

Unfortunately ENTs are worse than useless with tinnitus. They may measure loss of hearing etc but they can’t do a darn thing about it. Their...

Money can’t buy a cure for tinnitus. Bezos would spend his billions on experimental devices or on charlatans. The only cure is within you own...

Think we’ll have to agree to disagree on this one

I’m using Zopiclone 3.5 mg at the moment. I get about 4 hours good sleep with it. I have used Promethazine 50 mg in the past. I got longer sleep...

Some people I know function on less than 4 hours per night. As we grow older we tend to need less sleep. Mind you before tinnitus I used to love...

You don’t have to talk about these things to be an atheist. What he was about was mindfulness and compassion. I don’t think he actually cared if...

On the contrary. This is a greeting. In India they would call it Namaste. I’m not sure what they call it in Vietnam. People have different ways...

Every day is a day closer to habituation, cure or death. Whatever happens your suffering will end in time. Nothing remains the same. Everything...

Because he meant a lot to me (a contributor to this thread) and I believe helped me heal my tinnitus before through mindfulness. I suppose you...

A great teacher died today in Thich Nhat Hanh. His teachings on mindful walking helped me a lot when I was first experiencing tinnitus. Even...

Today was the day I was supposed to take my second Pfizer jab - 8 weeks after the first. Hell will freeze over before I take that poison again.

I meant all the tinnitus noises disappeared. Sometimes in a very quiet room I might have heard a tone.

It may seem trite but get out into nature. Watch movements. Breathe fresh air. If you can, take a break from work and stress. Take meds if you...

Tried a faith healer once for a few sessions. Nothing much happened. I think the main benefit was getting through time hopefully. The real...

Glad to hear it has reduced in volume for you. I think I could deal with the ordinary tones I have. Its the loud thudding pulsatile tinnitus...

I’ve had tinnitus from suspected inflammation before. The first was pulsatile tinnitus. It took 10 months to dissipate. I had ordinary tinnitus...

Truth is an interesting concept. Scientifically we can never achieve 100% probability of truth about anything. Think of the ‘medical truths’...

The first few months of tinnitus are horrendous. The mind is in total overload. Your limbic system is in flight or fight mode and will not allow...

Interesting Lane. I believe my severe pulsatile tinnitus in my right ear may be caused by inflammation from the COVID-19 vaccine. Have you any...

I don’t believe in any particular God but am interested in the healing power of faith. I believe that belief can give a person hope and thus...

From my experience tinnitus can lessen over time. Mine took about two and a half years. Nothing much happens for a long time. In fact things can...
