Thanks, @Michael Leigh. You’re definitely correct about this. I have to say, aside from the general increase in my base tone (as if that wasn’t bad enough), it seems my reactive tinnitus is back—or at least what I call an increase in tinnitus that competes with exterior constant noises. I...

I think you’re right, and I’m struggling to come to terms with that. It’s been about a week and a half, and my tinnitus still hasn’t returned to the baseline I’ve maintained for at least the past year. I’m stunned that my headphone usage during this time could have permanently worsened it. Even...

I appreciate the response. During the first month, using headphones at a low volume wasn’t much of an issue. However, I’m now wondering if bone conduction could be a viable option. I’ve come across mixed opinions on it. My main concern is that the incoming call quality isn’t great, which forces...

Has anyone used a bone conduction headset for business calls and found it helpful in avoiding the need to increase the volume on a regular headset to hear people? Would this be a good alternative?

Hello all, As my tinnitus has been relatively stable for the last year or so (though I’ve had ups and downs over the past 10 years), I’m having a hard time coming to terms with my current situation. I recently put in time and training to transition into a new position. During that time, I...

My worst fear has come true, I've been hit with an M-800 firecracker while I was near my open window. The M-800 wrapper was about 20 feet from my window. I had the windows wide open, and I was near it at my desk. Does anyone know how loud these things are once they go off at the source? I've...

Yes, it was close to full bilateral hearing completely gone. If 10/10 is a baseline for perfect hearing, I went to 1/10 within a matter of seconds after waking up. I could barely hear anything, and it was muffled what little I was hearing. Some have claimed here from what I've read, that there...

Especially hearing loss that comes upon suddenly, in both ears. I'm hard pressed to believe it was the Amoxicillin too, but I can't really see what else it would've been. It certainly was, or a similar experience to, what is considered sudden sensorineural hearing loss. It would be strange, but...

I had an episode of bilateral sudden hearing loss the night after oral surgery using a laser to remove an infected bottom wisdom tooth that might have been attributed to Amoxicillin. I took Amoxicillin at the office around 10 am, then about 6 hours later a second one. I took a nap right after...

I ended up on the 13th going in to a periodontist. He used a laser on the bottom wisdom tooth, then was able to elevate it out. It was pretty long and very stressful, but I made it out and thankfully no nerve damage. What was terrifying though, was what occurred that night. SUDDEN hearing loss...

I held off as long as I could, but during then and now I got my top wisdom teeth out which was an easy pull, and did some cavities with laser (saved my ears). Now, the bottom tooth which is the big issue, is in bad shape right now. I have no choice now, as the pain is too much. Looking at two...

Thankfully, yes. I also switched to nano-hydroxyapatite toothpaste from Boka which doesn't spike my tinnitus as much after brushing like normal Fluoride did, go figure. Sadly, I let my teeth go during COVID-19. I hadn't been to the dentist in a while and needed some cavities filled. I luckily...

Wondering if anyone has had this new tech used with tinnitus? The device claims: "the high-tech irrigation process of the GentleWave System harnesses optimized procedure fluids, vertical flow and broad-spectrum acoustic energies to debride and disinfect the root canal system—even the...

I've been attempting to find an endodontist who can use laser to clear the decay/remove tooth portions instead of a drill, but not having a lot of luck. Seems far and few in-between that are using the tech. Supposedly laser can take care of decay, cut the teeth and used in root canals. Just...

Thank you. I've been trying to find someone that does this, but it's been challenging. Most oral surgeons seem to be doing the same thing. No issue with their conventional drills for cutting jaw bone so why change, I guess is the thought process here. I'm seeking alternatives like a root canal...

Has anyone had an electric handpiece used to split a wisdom tooth? Is it typically fast? I can't find an oral surgeon that will do it without splitting, as the root curve and closeness to nerve makes it impossible to use a manual tool. I feel like I have no options here.

I have an upper right wisdom tooth that broke from decay at end of 2019. I started actually having pain recently, which just so happens to align with the fact my BOTTOM left also broke off, a side/center piece of it. From decay as well. Idiocy on my part for allowing this to happen and not going...

Hey, I have some wisdom teeth I have to get out due to a cavity that snuck up on me and caused decay. Did you ever have any long-term problems from your removal? Did they have to drill or did they just remove the tooth without drilling? I saw you posted originally you regretted doing it, so was...

So sorry you're also in the same boat. I'm pretty confident it's MEM and/or TTTS. There's a doctor in California that has apparently done many surgeries in the ear for this issue, but it's a drastic step I haven't had in me to confront yet. I will say there has been improvement over time. A lot...

Thank you very much. Can't believe he's in my own state. Now that I'm settled back and home I will be reaching out and hopefully this can spark some positivity for me. Tinnitus and hyperacusis was bad enough, this was an entirely different beast. So glad I found your post and thank you from the...

Lately it's just doing it for no apparent reason. I can always trigger it badly by using earplugs (the original catalyst that set it off after an intense night of crying) or lying on the ear. The car low hum vibration from engine will trigger it (only hearing it after the car is off). Going...

When you're back, please let us know who you went to. I am currently suffering beyond belief, my noise-induced tinnitus is nothing compared to this hell of a deep modulating vibrating hum that comes and goes if I'm lucky, or just sits there and oscillates (and I feel the muscle twitching)...

I'm in a bit of a panic, as I'm having some type of ear event on the left side that I thought I've had in the past, but on a minor scale. All of a sudden tonight, my left ear just changed. It felt like a bit of pressure and deafness. Sound does not sound the same in the ear, and it's very...

I'm usually very anti-SSRI, but I'm curious on whether or not Fluvoxamine is different in any way to the other mainstream SSRIs you hear about, generally badly, on this website. Is the mechanism of Fluvoxamine different in any way?

A person got worse, yet some others got better. What to make of it, I'm not sure. I'd generally say SSRIs are bad as well, at least in the long run where taper off has to occur. People who are noise induced tinnitus may not have issues like medicine induced tinnitus. Does that affect this...

False. The data suggests long term issues are from NO treatment and the hyper activity of the autoimmune system essentially going into overdrive. With early treatment protocols, symptoms are reduced, hospitals avoided and long term systems reported by those critically ill, are close to nowhere...

Casedemic panic is just that, panic. Delta is less deadly, the IFR has proven this. Mutations and variants are typically GOOD. Viruses typically get LESS impactful. A virus only does its job by a host living and spreading. Which is why delta, according to Yale Medicine and other accredited...

None of what you posted is conclusive. Especially the first link in your other post, which was just opinion and piggy backing on the fact viruses can make tinnitus worse. It's just not COVID-19 that can make tinnitus worse. Viruses in general, like the flu, can make tinnitus worse. Survey...

Thanks for the information. Supposedly this is a top brand of broad spectrum CBD, and has no trace of THC. Of course online, if you search cannabinoid and tinnitus there's a massive amount of sites all copying and pasting the same script about how cannabinoids can worsen tinnitus and/or start...

Is anyone here knowledgeable on CBD and the mechanism behind what the cannabinoids are doing? Is there anything inherently risky about CBD causing any type of permanent damage, whether in the brain or in the ear, making tinnitus worse? My pure tone tinnitus is the same, but my second static...

Did it go back to baseline? What dosage did you start with? I really wish I knew whether CBD is more of an antagonist and not something that harms or damages to cause a permanent increase. My tinnitus has shifted to a more of a high pitched, sharp oscillation that I recall years ago when it was...

@BuzzyBee, is it generally the case that CBD oil only causes a temporary tinnitus increase? Although I recently had a brief issue with loud sound from a maxed out volume on iPad during a Zoom meeting, I'm starting to think it was rather the CBD oil I started 4 days prior and that I'm still...

I hope every one of these corrupt, demonic scum in the FDA who did this burn in hell. They are in the business of making sure you're not healthy, that's it. May they all rot.

Hello, did you ever get your wisdom tooth out. I'm in the same boat. Curious on what/how they did it, and what was used. Concerned about affecting my regular T of course so I've been putting it off.

Did the balloon solve the low frequency vibrating hum/ spasm you talked about? I think I have something similar.

I have exactly what you have @pony with the same symptoms. Talking stops it, shaking the head stops it, earmuffs stop it, all these things stop it until the second you stop and then it kicks back up. When it's bad, low frequency noises resonate more in the ear and loud bass music, vibrating...

Hello, Can you provide an update on your T from Wellbutrin? My Dad has gone up to 300mg and I'm worried. Did yours ever improve?

Well, my vibrating hum's worse form of not breaks and just constantly and violently going off came back yesterday night. Seems all progress and improvement has been lost if it can come back like this. I stayed up all night Wednesday and into morning yesterday working on paperwork for my dads...

As long as the plugs themselves (or muffs) are not triggering it (as in directly after taking off) then no reason to avoid it. Just avoid the triggers that can create pressure, crying, blowing nose etc., with those in. I've battled reactive tinnitus as well for years, assuming we're describing...

Very similar to how I tried to describe it. I used the example of a loud idling truck outside and hearing that low type of rumbling deep in the ear but in an oscillating type of form. If it got real bad, it would be more intense in sound and feeling, other times it was slightly there in the...

Exactly how I put it, it's a different kind of hell for sure. I'd take bad tinnitus over it any day. It sounds like you found your possible trigger for it, and it makes sense to me. Built up pressure/strain, for some, can certainly cause a problem in the middle ear muscles in my opinion. This...

Have the same thing, I believe it's Middle Ear Myclonus or a type of tensor tympani syndrome. ENT's know nothing about this 99.9% of the time, and are generally morons outside of the normal scope of issues they cover. I want to emphasize this is NOT traditional Tinnitus. Shouldn't even be...

I've gone through a lot of stuff online, from heat hives to cholinergic urticaria, and I'm assuming I have it or something similar, but I don't know what to do about it. I got it around 19, and still have it 10 years later. I thought with time it would go away, it didn't. Made life miserable...

Is there any difference from what dentist use? Did your T go back to baseline after?

Bill since I have to get my wisdom tooth removed, none of those links work. Were they discussing issues with laughing gas dentists use with tinnitus increases?

So as I've been following this, it does seem to be the case thus for that tinnitus is not a "main" symptom of COVID-19, but it CAN be for the group being categorized as "long haulers". That is, people who are months past their initial infection and sickness, still having a plethora of symptoms...

There's really no evidence there and a lot of speculation (and talking about treatments that could be ototoxic). If people were losing their hearing and had tinnitus, we'd know by now. It's depressing. Political power and hatred for Trump infects everything, even the sciences.

Think about this: There's decades of research that shows masks don't stop viruses. We have influenza studies on this. There's literally been zero controlled studies in an environment to show COVID and masks working, let alone that asymptomatic people are spreading it (which all actual data shows...

The exact opposite happened, and all it did was delay the ability to acquire herd immunity while simultaneously crippling the economy. For something considered "flu like" for basically everyone under 50, with an extremely LOW death rate, like a bad flu season, it seems insane we did anything but...

Ultimately up to you, but prednisone has its negatives when taking it too from what I've read. Since you said you had earmuffs on you were protected enough(in my opinion) to minimize anything from a loud bike. Your ear is hurt from your tinnitus you got in May, and possibly more sensitive to...

Tensing up from noises you think are loud, will affect the jaws and your ears. Since your tinnitus is so new, it's trying to heal, there's a lot of flux going on. The muscles designed to close your ears to help you naturally stop loud noises can become weaken and more sensitive, mine have. This...

Stay safe, hope your whole family recovers. Be sure to get tested once available, a lot of tests are being brought in and going to be made available over the next few weeks. There's been some concerning news that COVID-19 can remain in your system even after you feel better. What it's still...

I've been having the same problem since May of last year. Same symptoms, same way to stop it. I can aggravate it sometimes just by driving in the car (due to the vibration) and even movies/games with low sounds can set it off. Talking stops it until it starts right back up, shaking the head...

While my noise induced T isn't from headphones, I'm curious on the reasoning for many to say not to use even at low volumes. Does not the db level matter all around, regardless if the source originated form less than an inch from your ear, or 10 feet away? If something is entering your ear...

Any idea what caused it? Did it come upon suddenly, and come and go and then moved to more 24/7? Mine was somehow triggered from intense crying/sadness after my grandfather died. Happened the morning after, awoke to it slightly there. It stopped then I used new earplugs called Decibulz...

Do you just swish around with either SJW or Sesame then spit out, and for about how long? Terrifying. I can't believe I've done this to myself. I just really can't deal with this increase. Espsecially if you recall I'm still dealing with that MEM/vibrating condition in right ear. It's already...

I definitely did not swallow it. I used a good amount though as it wanted a inch strip and brushed for about 4 and half minutes. I also wonder if my wisdom tooth that had a piece break off, perhaps this sesondyne went into it and affected the nerves in such a way that radiated into the inner...

Interesting point. My back wisdom tooth up top, part cracked off from decay. It's not painful or hurting, but dentist said sooner or later it will need to be removed. Could this nerve agent then be going through that wisdom tooth much more because the top side broke off and exposed, and it then...

Not everyone at least. If you've used it with no issue, then you're probably fine. It must be something that reacted very badly with my system/ears. Pretty stunning. I'm still in shock, as toothpaste would never be an issue to me. But I should of been more careful, obviously with some type of...

Thanks. I recall my cholesterol being within good range from a few months back, but will double check. What I don't seem to understand, is that is it possible through the mouth that it got absorbed into the bloodstream and made it's way to the inner ear to cause havoc? That seems absurd to me...
