In one month I made great progress! I'm able to go out with just my ear muffs, and not double protection, again. Most every day noises are tolerable again. It's still not great, but it's progress. My tinnitus however is still pretty reactive and can get VERY loud after just simple conversations. A bit at a loss on whether I should push or not.

Half a decade later... still going. How's the family?

Hey y'all, I'm still here — unfortunately for my ears
Tinnitus has gotten extreme, and some days it takes everything in me just to get out of bed. But I do it. I'm working part-time at the university again while running my own business, and I push through on the rough days.


My love life… well, that went downhill too. I'm lonely sometimes because not many people really get what I'm going through. My partner left — honestly, he wasn't a good person, so maybe that's a blessing in disguise.


But here's the thing: my bills are paid, my needs are covered, and if I need to rest when my ears get bad, I can. I'm grateful for that. I can't imagine dealing with this struggle and worrying about surviving at the same time. So I'm hanging in there, thankful where it counts.

Also, does anyone used a Tinnitus Clinic and if so, what were the therapies and did they work at all? Mine is so bad right now that I need to try something : (

Does anyone else's tinnitus get really bad when they are ill? Just did a week of the flu and my head is still screaming - yikes!

i got stockholm syndrome with ear plugs

had like 4-5 weeks that i "didnt stress out" about sounds making my TT worse. Now i for some reason get stressed out and freaking out all over again over sounds that it might have damage my tinnitus (like the incident under) or when i took a walk today and some hunter fired a rifle when 10-15 times somewhere in the woods.

death is tempting but so hard to achieve

My left ear static is back. Annoying as hell. At least it doesn't hurt accept when I blow air up my left Eustachian tube with my EarPopper.

I am just bitter at this point. Bitter and numb.

ur not real person imo

starting a clomipramine who gives a fuck after this point. first i need to taper my clonazepam my psych already agreed to give me clomipramine. and i bet i know it will fuck my tinnitus and visual snow even more since i am the unluckiest piece of shit in the entire planet

Hey Kerry. I messaged you on another forum. I do hope the prednisone has helped you at least be able to sleep better?

Been doing pretty decent for a couple of weeks! Didnt get any spike from below accident with the grinder. Today i sat next to someone that had a OBNOXIOUS loud ringtone close to me today for about 20 Second (it was ringing and he had to "finish talking" before he aswered it.) He sat right next to me so i was probably 40-50 CM away in a meeting. Did a quick search and our "work phones" can reach 105 DB at 10 CM away. Hopefully i will be okay

otoscopy

What the heck did I found in my ear?

So, I have a choice. Be nauseous 24/7 and feel like my head has been hit like a baseball bat OR feel somewhat normal, but be tired. I did some major damage to myself 6 months ago, and I've been slightly nauseous and had balance issues since then. Luckily Betaserc medication helps, but makes me tired.

Anxiety has been killing me. T doesn't even seem that much worse. More bothersome than usual? Sure. But the way that my ears FEEL is getting to me. I can't help but to feel like I'm on borrowed time.

Soon planning my end i don't want to exist anymore. Sorry fam

Hi Jack, I saw you are from Czechia, can you please tell me which otoneurologist have you visited here or do you know any good doctor that can help with Tinnitus?

Had all the nasty parts, reactive, hyperacusis and not even close to maskable. No pain though…

Hi, am not here that often because I consider myself cured. Let me know if I can help in any way

I'm thinking to get steroid shot in my ear to recover hearing loss, since I lost since last Friday, I done it 9 years ago before, now I'm thinking do the same, what do you guys think?

Hi @Christiaan

Wondering if you're still around and if you still follow the microdosing protocol, if not hoping you can advise how long you were on it for and how long you've been off it

Thanks

hi @alanisnotadj

I see back in 2023 you talk about gabapentin helping with your hyperacusis and nox, but then I see your response in the linre thread about Duloxetine & Mirtazapine helping these. I'm hoping you can provide more insight into what helped more or was it more of a compounding effect? Also for the D and M, did you start at 30mg or work your way up?

If you read my intro I'm very much where you were regarding contacting agencies.

Thank you

Audiologist appointment next week and I guess the gist is to avoid every test besides the standard hearing test correct?

Hit my first T birthday on Friday. It feels so unreal. Still 4 days in Rehab. Met so many sufferers...

I am starting clomipramine soon i dont care. I need something for my pain.

I want to get better. I will have to get better for my family, for my brother and for my girlfriend. I am a good human being and i know it. I have a pure heart. I never harmed anyone else besides myself. I have to be better. I have to heal. Even if not physhically but mentally. This shit gotta hardened me i want to live i want to be a good person again. Make people laugh again even if i stay depressed my whole life. I want to make my mom happy.

New here. Found this site while reviewing Quietum Plus. Does anyone know if this supplement really works?

Hi Albert, I have might similar exploding head syndrom in my ear/head. How can I contact you here? Best
