    EarPopper Cured My Tinnitus

    For me what worked better was the Otovent. I believe it’s safer than the EarPopper. Still have tinnitus but mine is due to inflammation from Lyme disease. Congrats on yours being gone!

    Blurry, Double Vision Freaking Me Out — Could It Be a Brain Tumour?

    @Worriedguy74 I believe I acquired Lyme in the UK. Don’t be complacent, it’s a pandemic no one is talking about. It may be worth looking into.

    Seeing Double

    I’m sorry, what a scary experience @Jazzer!! I had an experience in 2017 (funnily, in England, I’m from NY) where I had a virus and it messed with my vision. I still had a few blind spots left from it but it got better over a few months! I totally don’t care about it now!! I’m hoping to get to...

    Loud Tone for a Few Seconds — Fleeting / Transient Spontaneous Tinnitus

    Does getting fleeting tinnitus mean that your tinnitus is going to get worse? Anybody have experiences with it? Or is it truly random? I just hope it doesn’t mean it’s worsening.

    Young Teens with Tinnitus?

    @Tommo5 I feel like I have a very weird situation. It was mild at first (like the day I got it, it was only in my left ear) and then I took steroids (like everyone on this site says to do if you catch it in the early days to possibly reverse it), but it made it worse and spread to my head and...

    Going on 3 Years — Tinnitus Worse as Ever with Added Symptoms

    Have you looked into Lyme or been tested for it? The numbness and memory stuff could definitely be part of that. I would be tested for it using a reputable lab (IGeneX in California is gold standard).

    Doxycycline vs Bactrim — Which Is More Ototoxic?

    Hello all, My Lyme literate doctor seems to think I have a Lyme coinfection, bartonella. He wants to treat me for a month with an antibiotic and see what happens. I have both doxycycline and bactrim as options. I know it’s not ideal but is there a better option that will (hopefully) not...

    @Jazzer I'm seeing an LLMD this upcoming Thursday. He will test and from there I guess I'll have to see. The past 3 years I have had some interesting symptoms. Tingling and numbness in extremities, intense nausea, floaters and blind spots and flashing lights, leg muscle pain, recurrent ear and...
