    Scary Spikes in the Middle of the Night — Can You Dream Your Tinnitus Is Worse?

    It helps me relax but it’s not a miracle drug. Just enough to take the edge off at night most nights and certainly better than benzos.

    DMSO & Magnesium Oil for Tonic Tensor Tympani Syndrome (TTTS)

    Thank you. And no evidence of worsening tinnitus or hearing loss? Would Magnesium oil spray on Amazon be the same? Or should I stick with the flakes?

    DMSO & Magnesium Oil for Tonic Tensor Tympani Syndrome (TTTS)

    Bumping this as I have MEM. Do you still use this? Any adverse effects? Any reason to think applying this externally could damage hearing? Thanks.

    Omicron Infection — Did It Make Your Tinnitus Worse? Post Your Experience

    Try to keep perspective. This is a tinnitus forum so there is already strong bias. I’m not saying that increased tinnitus from vaccines and/or COVID-19 isn’t a thing to be concerned about but I think the numbers still say it’s rare although not zero. If it’s 50/50 here it’s probably...

    Scary Spikes in the Middle of the Night — Can You Dream Your Tinnitus Is Worse?

    No issues with CBD here. Doesn’t make my tinnitus any better or any worse. Helps me sleep. I used Barker Wellness Sleep Tincture. CBD and CBN plus Melatonin and Valerian root. It’s nectar of the gods. Zero THC.

    Tinnitus and Inner Ear Spasm in Response to Some Sounds

    You may be experiencing middle ear myoclonus which is when the muscles in your ear are sensitive to certain sounds. This started happening to me after my tinnitus spiked over the summer inexplicably. They can flutter or in worse cases then can cause clicking sounds. I am dealing with some sound...

    Will You Get Vaccinated for Coronavirus (COVID-19)? Can It Make Tinnitus or Hyperacusis Worse?

    Yes, I did see that. But the report went on to conclude that vaccines remain the safest and most effective way to protect against severe COVID-19.

    Will You Get Vaccinated for Coronavirus (COVID-19)? Can It Make Tinnitus or Hyperacusis Worse?

    I appreciate your willingness to reconsider and have an open mind. I agree there's so much out there it's hard to tell fact from fiction. In your defense, the answer may be a little different with Omicron since the vaccines don't target it directly. There has been speculation however, that...

    Will You Get Vaccinated for Coronavirus (COVID-19)? Can It Make Tinnitus or Hyperacusis Worse?

    This has proven to be false as well. Over and over again. Please stop spreading misinformation! COVID-19: Do vaccines protect better than infection-induced immunity?

    Will You Get Vaccinated for Coronavirus (COVID-19)? Can It Make Tinnitus or Hyperacusis Worse?

    You can’t possibly believe that vaccinated people are responsible for spreading the virus and unvaccinated people are not. If you believe that, then there is no logic or reason or hope for you. Good luck my friend. You’re going to need it. Might as well be talking to Joe Rogan.

    Will You Get Vaccinated for Coronavirus (COVID-19)? Can It Make Tinnitus or Hyperacusis Worse?

    Please. This is nonsense. Whatever his reasons, science wasn't one of them. You think his doctors have special secret information that the rest of us do not have access to?

    Will You Get Vaccinated for Coronavirus (COVID-19)? Can It Make Tinnitus or Hyperacusis Worse?

    Sorry to hear that your tinnitus has spiked. While it's easy to blame the vaccine, I would at least consider whether other factors might be at play. For me personally, stress and anxiety play a huge role in my tinnitus. While on an individual basis, your theory on Omicron may work it's not...

    Will You Get Vaccinated for Coronavirus (COVID-19)? Can It Make Tinnitus or Hyperacusis Worse?

    False: Claim vaccines increase susceptibility to omicron unfounded Perhaps you think the AP has an agenda: This is part of AP’s effort to address widely shared misinformation, including work with outside companies and organizations to add factual context to misleading content that is...

    Will You Get Vaccinated for Coronavirus (COVID-19)? Can It Make Tinnitus or Hyperacusis Worse?

    I don't group you at all. If you follow my posts, I said that those with medical reasons not to get vaxxed is completely understandable.
