Hey Juan, I found I'm able to ride my bike without spiking from wind noise for about 25-30 km. I prefer MTV because it's a better workout, has a lower average speed than road and in the woods there's less chance of strong winds. Do you do anything in particular to be able to ride? Thanks!

Whoa! That was literally something I asked a long time ago, but related to road cycling! I haven't found any conclusive answers but in the end you have to listen to what your body is telling you. I stopped riding for fun. I still run and MTB, but for commuting I use the car. It's a shame.

How old are you?

I've been to Antwerp in the past, way back when De Ridder was still there with Brai2n. Then habituation happened and I sort of stopped looking for a cure. Now I'm unfortunately back in the game with severe tinnitus since 2 years. I have not gone to Brai3n at this point because of a lack of...

I don't know anyone that had this apart from the 2 cases I met in the ENT waiting room.

It's only because it came out at a moment where there wasn't anything else, and it could claim a certain improvement in the majority of sufferers that may very well have been the result of the time that had passed. As such, it's as much an observation of a naturally occurring phenomenon...

The limbic system is what attaches meaning to the sound. But this is not the same as saying it originates from there. Not even scientists are sure at this point in time.

That's the fishy part about it. When I take a painkiller, I don't have to think happy thoughts to make it work. It just works. And that's why, to me, the success of TRT can largely (fully?) be ascribed to the occurrence of habituation, fading of tinnitus or other events that occur in the same...

Must have something to do with the Eustachian tubes or sinuses IMO. On my MRI they saw one grey area where a sinal cavity is located at the back of my head, indicating it's filled with fluid instead of being clear. They didn't think it was the cause of my tinnitus and honestly I wouldn't know...

No, when I heelstrike it's less obvious than when I strike with the forefoot. Also, it depends on whether my nose is stuffed. Wonder if it could cause damage...

Thinking of how bad others may have it has never helped me...

So the headphones in the audiology booth were able to emit a more powerful signal?

Could be residual inhibition. The loud internal sound of the snap saturates the auditory system and your tinnitus is being driven into the background. But 2 hours is extremely long for residual inhibition... Just my 2 cents. Then again if I could get two hours of relief from snacking on a...

Won't you agree they're doing a lousy job faking the pandemic if they let you in the hospital to check? Or can we hereby assume you're basing your "facts" on hearsay and shady internet sources?

I haven't found counseling helpful in a CBT context. I don't know about a TRT context, but they were basically pulling out printouts from the neurophysiological model by Jastreboff. It's kind of tough to hear a counselor who hasn't got tinnitus talk you through the whole TRT-doctrine over and...
