    I sometimes feel like certain everyday sounds are too loud, but I do not feel pain or anything. It's just paranoia, I guess. Do you have hyperacusis on top of tinnitus??

    Hi Jane! Of course we can talk. I just need a little patience from you because I am in the middle of a few stressful days, but I will get back to you right after the weekend. I hope you are holding up ok, I am sending good energy your way!

    Hola! The test was just up to 8 kHz, but I do not think I have any hidden hearing loss. I am always the first one noticing the slightest sounds around :) Did you get tested up to 16 kHz?

    Can Propiomazine Make Tinnitus Worse? Is It Ototoxic?

    I do not know this drug... but you said antihistamines are bad for tinnitus? Or is it just some of them? I am taking a small dose of Hydroxyzine three or four times per week, for sleep. I thought it was a safe drug and not ototoxic... Am I wrong? It does not spike me the next day or anything...

    My Multiple Tinnitus Sounds Make Me Scared: What If They Keep Getting Worse?

    Hi Guenguer, How are you doing? I read a couple of posts you wrote elsewhere about the sounds you hear, they made me sad. For you but also for me. I relate to the tinnitus part, even though mine is "only" 8 months old. Unfortunately, things did keep getting worse and I have no clue why. I got...

    Thiamine Pyrophosphate (TPP) Stopped My Tinnitus!

    Thank you for the explanation! I already ordered Thiamine (now I realize it is Thiamine Mononitrate), so I am going to mega-dose this thing starting Friday! I will report back if I notice something. I find very interesting that you do not need to be deficient in this vitamin to suffer from...

    Kava Kava for Tinnitus — Post Your Experience!

    This is the one I tried... I did 3 tablespoons in about 450 ml of water, and I drank half of that. The other half is still sitting in my fridge, in case you want to try it, haha. Hope it works for you if you go for it, @Quiet please!

    Please Provide Perspective on Tinnitus Spiking Easily — Pivotal Job Decision

    My tinnitus does not spike easily, but I am going to give you my opinion anyways. You are saying you could do your dream job at least until June... and maybe then your tinnitus will not be as bad, or you find you can take on projects that does not require to travel (no idea if this is...

    Kava Kava for Tinnitus — Post Your Experience!

    Unfortunately, Kava Kava did not work for me. I felt tired and then dizzy. And I felt like I was inside my own head... My tinnitus was everywhere, my ears, my head, my eyes, around me... It was weird. Maybe cool if there were no noise, but that is not the case. Hope it works better for other...

    Tinnitus Disappears When I Lie Down — Does Anyone Else Experience This?

    Hi @Steph1710, Did you ever find out why your tinnitus disappeared when you would lie down? Does it still happen? How are you doing now? I can't say mine goes away entirely, but I get something like a "dirty silence" when lying down. I read that you also had multiple sounds like me... Did...

    Kava Kava for Tinnitus — Post Your Experience!

    I got the Loa Waka Kava root (the one you have to prepare with the strainer) and tried it yesterday. It did not seem to have an impact on my tinnitus. To the ones who are making the drink: how many tablespoons of Kava and how much water are you using?

    Anyone Else with a “Chaotic Symphony” Tinnitus?

    I am happy to hear that! I have been reading your posts, since you are very active on the forum and you share your experiences and the things you try to get better. My tinnitus is most of the time also a changing "chaotic symphony" as you called it, reactive... and reading your posts make me...

    Thiamine Pyrophosphate (TPP) Stopped My Tinnitus!

    Thanks for sharing the article, @Flyingsheep! I find it very interesting and I want to try this supplement too. I am a bit confused between the terms Thiamine and TPP. According to the article: "most people are required to consume one hundred to one thousand times the daily recommended intake...
