    Stem Cell Secretome Treatment

    If it does, and you report back any positive news (I REALLY HOPE SO), count me in. I want my visual snow helped and even a slight reduction in tinnitus and sensitivity and any one of my countless health problems being helped... I sure as hell will sign up.

    Pregabalin (Lyrica)

    I wouldn't take Pregabalin. I continue to blame it for my tinnitus. And even if I were to get tinnitus later in life, at least I'd just have that. Pregabalin also ruined my memory, vision, gave me terrible side effects and intrusive thoughts... terrible stuff.

    Will My Tinnitus Get Worse?

    No apparent reason for many days. Some events like car horns, 2 dentist visits, loud exhausts on street (would cover ears), etc. normal activities but these would be rare events. Many times I'd wear earplugs or noise cancelling headphones on the street. I sit a lot at home. Maybe high blood...

    Will My Tinnitus Get Worse?

    Mine keeps getting worse. I can't take it anymore. I think I have hyperacusis. I wear protection, try to avoid loud places, don't listen to music... I think one of my biggest setbacks was the dentist. I also worsened my tinnitus from an earwax cleaning. It was water as the doctor said she...

    Warning for People with Noxacusis: For the Love of God, Protect Your Ears!

    I feel your pain. I'm 23 too, had this for 1,019 days now. These past few months, it's gotten very bad. This year in general my tinnitus has soared to new levels. Sometimes without any reason. Sometimes for reasons I couldn't really avoid.. like going to the dentist (2x this year and now will...

    Stem Cell Secretome Treatment

    I'm currently saving up money for stem cells. I was inspired by @attheedgeofscience's posts last year. My tinnitus is getting worse, but mentally I'm okay I guess... Working hard to try stem cells in 2023-2024. The $20k cost is not great, hopefully it gets cheaper in the future.

    Pregabalin Changed My Life Forever (Negatively)

    I'm now engaged, we won't have kids for the next decade that's for sure. I don't want kids ever, but we'll see. I now have a normal job in sales, it's quiet for the most part and I'm just saving up money for the future. Never know what can happen. I did get better in terms of mental health and...

    Tinnitus & Hyperacusis Make It Impossible to Find a Girlfriend!

    There's plenty of girls understanding of it, and even some who suffer from it themselves. Some people have milder tinnitus but will understand. Focus on yourself, improve what you can, distract and Tinder or quiet places pickup is the best bet since clubs, festivals, events and bars are out of...

    Can Tinnitus ACTUALLY Drive You CRAZY?

    I put off taking MDMA again (only took it a few times prior to tinnitus) before the big S on my list. It would probably dissuade me from it. Psilocybin didn't help my tinnitus much, or Ketamine the depression but time has helped after a long grind. It took a good year for me to stop thinking...

    I too have bad visual snow, floaters and light sensitivity, I basically got both T & VS from Pregabalin. My brain over time got used to VS much more than with T. I wear glasses, watch out for bad lighting and try to control my environment. VS gets bad when its dark outside for me. It gets better...

    Non-Stop Tinnitus for 3 Days — It Started After I Took Out My Earphones After Listening to Music

    White noise helps for the most part, but I stopped using my machine as for some reason later on I had a strange feeling about it. It annoyed my tinnitus, not sure if it made it temporarily worse, but some people report it helps them while others prefer silence. My belief is that it helps at...

    Frequency Therapeutics — Hearing Loss Regeneration

    I have a feeling today being July 4th, a few more people will join Tinnitus Talk over the next week. At least today, we're the closest we've ever been to a cure. And yet, so far away. I'm more than a year and a half with tinnitus so far, it's been one hell of a struggle... but I won't give up. I...

    Antidepressant (Lexapro) Induced Tinnitus

    Antidepressants can cause a variety of symptoms. One of which could be tinnitus. I believe mine was triggered also from a psychiatrist's recommendation. Doctors are wrong, these drugs help but they can also do a lot of damage to otherwise healthy individuals.
