Mine is 91.1. I don’t know how many points. But it is the worst case my audiologist, who specializes in the worst cases, has seen.

Not in my case. But then I am a really severe case. My tinnitus loudness has been rated a 10 on a 0-10 visual analogue scale. My tinnitus functional index is a 92.1 out of 100. And I have type IV tinnitus (which ranges from I to IV) based on Jastreboff categorization. This is characterized by...

Actually, no. My reactive tinnitus is off the roof. I went to see an otologist that specializes in hyperacusis and reactive tinnitus. I don’t know what all the fuss is about the use of the “reactive” term. Doctors are using it to describe the type of tinnitus I have. Anyway, my tinnitus is a...

I have been on intermittent fasting for years and regular fast for 15 years (when this trend was not fashionable like it is now). If I go on water fast, I risk to lose too much weight and im already thin. I always have been extremely healthy. No alcohol, no medication, no drugs, no smoking...

Hey Jackson. Actually, it did not improve. It got worse. The Reactive Tinnitus is unbearable. The Hyperacusis got a bit better, but the Dysacusis pretty well remained the same. The Reactive Tinnitus is eating me alive. I have lost all hope. My tinnitus can get so loud that I can’t hear people...

Yes. It’s very loud. Constantly high hissing that I can even feel physically in my neck and ears. And it gets worse with noises.

It is the same thing with mine. My tinnitus is caused by ototoxic medication, not by an acoustic trauma. My tinnitus is loud all the time, high pitch hissing, but it gets louder with every sound and will compete with everything to be louder to a point that it won’t let me hear anything else...

Lucky you. It doesn’t seem that your tinnitus gets worse with sounds. I wish I could say the same. Mine gets louder and competes with my environment, and the busier I am, the louder it is. Very high and loud sound. No hope. But it’s good to know that some people get some success.

Did it get better? I’m also a victim of Neomycin and suffering incredibly.

I never was a church goer so I have no clue what to do with churches. I can’t spend time on the phone when it is painful to talk on the phone. I can’t go physically to those churches or I would be able to get groceries myself. And you probably know that tinnitus is not recognized as a disability...

I’m so sorry for what you had to go through with your kitties. Both cats are doing well, even if they are sick. One has hyperthyroid that is well managed with medication. But I have to give her meds every day. The other one has pancreatitis and is well managed with the proper food. The vet...

I have no one. Not one person. I asked the people who call themselves my friends. No one. Their excuse: they work, they live too far, they don’t like to come to my neighborhood.

I wish you luck. I also hope it improves because it’s just hell.

What kind of ear drops did you get? I had the Neomycin ones (the worst of all). I wish I had never gone to that doctor who misdiagnosed me with an ear infection I didn’t have. I was fine. I would have been fine. He gave me the triple whammy. Neomycin drops, Z-Pak and Methylprednisolone. What...

Thanks. I put several requests in to get a therapist, but here in Los Angeles, it can take up to 3 months if not longer to get one. Long waiting list. I have absolutely no family. Been on my own since I was 20. I have no kids, no husband/boyfriend, no exes, nothing. I have reached out over...
