I'm sorry to hear about your tonight is. I hope it's better now. We have to be careful about the idea of correlation versus causation. you could have simply got tinnitus by chance after using headphones. I don't think there's any physiological and medical reason that most canceling headphones...

Tinnitus is listed as a side effect of cyclobenzaprine.

No, nothing unusual. Like my other spikes, it lasted a day or less.

I already had tinnitus from noise injury. I used Afrin last night and within 10 seconds, the tinnitus got lounder. Now on day 2 and it's still louder. Ugh.

I used Afrin last night and almost immediately my tinnitus spiked. It seems a bit louder now the next day. Typing in Afrin and tinnitus in Google gets conflicting results. The first result was that Afrin isn't ototoxic and another links to a study no longer available about 37% of Afrin users...

Research shows long term use of ppi drugs is quite harmful. H2 blockers are much safer. I took zantac and it does seem to make my t louder but that goes away when I stop taking them.

The audiologist at the medical college of Wisconsin told me not to use formal sound therapy and just instead gave me a free plan to use (sounds on apps for a few hours a day for a couple month). She also told me that in time the noise will just be something I'd get used to and learn to ignore...

Tums are totally safe and with PPIs it's a very tiny percentage

From what I read they calcium in tums is not the same calcium that causes kidney stones. Kidney Stone Myths MYTH: Kick Calcium to the Curb "This is a big myth-buster here," says Kristina Penniston, PhD, registered dietician and researcher in the University of Wisconsin-Madison Department of...

From what I have read, all PPIs have tinnitus listed as a side effect. Most H2 blockers can also cause it, including cimetidine. I am not sure why people post things saying one drug is safe without knowing that for sure. A quick Google search of the drug name and tinnitus pulled up...

I have had T since last fall due to acoustic trauma. At times it is invasive, but the BEST thing you can do is NOT FEAR IT. It won't hurt you. Make friends with it. Invite it in. Talk to it. Seriously, this sounds nuts, but truly it works. It helps you habituate to it. When you get anxious about...

The MRI was certainly quieter than others I have had and there were times when the sounds were much quieter than others. I am fine post-MRI and don't think it caused any issues for me.

Did they claim it was silent scan too?

Did your spike come down?

Then it must be true :) How do I find a location with these? I wrote Canon and they said they won't tell you what provider has them. Why wouldn't a company put a list of providers on their website? They cite privacy. How stupid!
