Hello All

Hello All!

First of all say hello to all of you and you have my support and empathy for the tinnitus suffering. I hope we are getting closer to get a cure, I believe in the next years there will be more options for all of us, at least to treat the symptoms.

Said so, here is my case I would like to share with you:

My boss invited us to an outdoor shooting range the 16-7-2017; as a vegetarian and peace friendly person, I did not shoot a single shot, and I stayed at 7 meters aproximately from the shooting, after the time I spent there, my ears become all blocked and I could heared things at a lower volume.

I had 3 audiogram tests in the next following four weeks, the first ones were between the 15 db and 20 db, and the last one i was between 0 db and 10 db, I also did above 8khz to 20khz hearing test after 3 weeks and the audiologist told me that I was the highest scoring person for 12 years they had the machine. I compared my hearing tests with ones I had from 8 years ago and the third audiogram was exactly the same, slightly better. Anyway, the first two audiograms showed Eustachian Tube Dysfunction.

It was until seeing an ENT after 2nd week that asked if I had a Tone Ringing, since then I searched for them and found sensations, crickets, like a computer harware and whistling. It has been minor, and only noticeable at night, very slightly in the day during some time, but very minor. Anyway, it its disturbing to know the fact that you have something there. My personality is very perfectionist, and somehow Obsessive in a positive way.

Last week, since Monday, my sensations were completely gone, I searched for the noise, but it was gone. The same was for all the week and Saturday it came back strongly, after a very stresfull week at work.

I don't know where this will take me, I hope my T will gradually fade. Vitamin E works really well, also magnesium.

I just wanted to say hello to all of you, and give you force, I'm pretty sure the following years much of T will be understood and new symptoms management drugs will be released in the market.

I also wanted to share with you, is hyperbaric oxygen a good therapy for tinnitus with no hearing loss? Would your risk to do it?

Additionaly, someone tried Betahistine in this stage?

I don't want to mess my ears more, so i wanted to ask all of you about this two options.

Thank you for your support and best regards

Álvaro

Were you wearing hearing protection?

I think it's a great sign that you T actually goes away for some time.

I've heard a lot of mixed things about those trying hyperbaric oxygen. good and bad. If you're T is fading at times I'd treat it with B vitamins, the magnesium (especially since you know it works for you), E, and make sure you get some omega 3s. I'm not sure if I'd try anything drastic to try and cure it.

Hello All ! I just wanted to add to my note. Some years ago it was thought Spinal, Nerve and Brain cells could not re generate, now is very clear and a strong consensus among scientists it can. The body is constantly looking for homeostasis, which is to repair, eliminate the old and renew.

I believe regenerative medicine is growing fast on investment, that is great news for us, because advances in many fields of regenerative medicine will positively impact hearing issues. Additionally, In the near future the cases of T and Hearing Loss will increase fast, additionally that it has also capture the attention of Military Departments, which have a really big budget.

We have to live with love, make the tinnitus make you a more lovable and compassionate person, and make us all encouragers of science and research, lets demand more investment for hearing and ear problems!

My best regards and wishes to all

Chances are you will get better. Try to protect your ears from moderate noises like that of a vacuum cleaner or a blender.

Thank you Bill and Shera! Unfortunately, I did nothing about guns , so I was not wearing protection.

Shera, thank you for kindly answering my post, I agree with you, I dont want to mess a lot with it since there have been some good signgs, I think anti oxidants are the way to go.
