    Tinnitus from Hearing Test at Audiologist's?

    Doctor Using the Flush System Irrigation / Syringing to Remove My Excess Ear Wax — Is It Safe?

    I Don't Know How to Cope Anymore — All I Do Is Cry and Cry

    If you think you got T after you "had your neck adjusted", then how could that damage your hearing i'm wondering? And if that's actually the case, then there may be hope for your situation because maybe all you have is a pinched Vagus nerve or something and just have to figure out a way to...

    Greetings from Holland

    I think @Dginobile has been taking tumeric and omega3 and that seems to have helped her inflamation and T, but it spikes my T, so tumeric may be a way of reducing your sinus condition and inflamation. However tumeric is a salicylate and if it doesn't seem to spike your T after several hours...

    Finally Habituated to My Tinnitus, but Now It's Bothering Me Again!

    you said "My hearing is always extremely sensitive after I go to the gym for a number of hours afterwards" and if the gym is playing loud music or weight machine weights are slamming together, i bet these could be triggers. Or if you changed your diet or are taking any allergy meds or other meds...

    Triamterene aka Dyrenium

    wiki says Triamterene directly blocks the epithelial sodium channel and small amounts are naturally contained in folic acid and salt is what creates spikes for me, so maybe i will try some folic acid, thanks for the info!
