    2024 US Presidential Election

    I don’t mind who anyone votes for, but I have a question for the Trump supporters here: if he loses, will you accept the results of the election? Apologies if this has already been asked. My sincere hope is that over the next four years, we can begin to make meaningful changes that improve life...

    2024 US Presidential Election

    This thread is nuts, lol. I don't know whether to laugh or cry. I'll likely do both.

    Impressive, I just read for fun but I have read much of Camus. Deleuze is very interesting to me but I will say there is something very difficult for me to pierce with him. I sometime feel I have some idea of what he is trying to get at, but in a very superficial sense. I like your taste and I...

    I use Strattera, its a non-stimulant adhd medication. Talk to your doctor about it and see what they think. I have had some issues with it in past but never tinnitus related, and not enough to make me not take it. Good luck!

    Fleeting Tinnitus → Chronic Tinnitus?

    The only advice I can give is to continue protecting your ears and allow them time to heal. Be patient with yourself, as the recovery process can be unpredictable. Once you start feeling a bit better, you might consider introducing some white noise to help you get used to sounds again. I do this...

    Fleeting Tinnitus → Chronic Tinnitus?

    Hi there, I'm really sorry to hear about what you're going through. Noise trauma can be incredibly distressing, especially when you're usually so diligent about protecting your ears. In my experience, I sometimes get fleeting tinnitus up to ten times a day, lasting 30 seconds or more. I've...

    Will Gabapentin Worsen Tinnitus Caused by SSRI Medication (Citalopram)?

    I'm sorry to hear about your concerns. I have been taking Gabapentin along with SSRI/SNRIs for many years, and it has not affected my tinnitus. Just to let you know, my tinnitus was not caused by medication. I understand the fear of starting a new medication while worrying about the impact on...

    Suicidal

    I don't know you, but you are obviously a person who feels deeply in a world that seems to have lost its depth and ability to distinguish what matters from mere spectacle. You are suffering, and the universe doesn't care. But I do, and people on here do. I don't know you, but if you do this, I...

    Hey, I'm really sorry to hear you're experiencing this uncertainty about your health. It sounds like you're facing a lot of questions about what's causing your tinnitus, whether it's related to Prozac or something else entirely. It's natural to wonder about all the factors that might be at play...

    Be Honest. Do You Still Enjoy Life?

    I am 34 now and generally doing well. I did not do much when I was suffering from hyperacusis. My hyperacusis very rarely acts up anymore, luckily. Still, when I have hyperacusis flare-ups, I don't do much besides try to rest and slowly build tolerance to sounds/frequencies that make me...

    Be Honest. Do You Still Enjoy Life?

    When I first got tinnitus, I clung to the "fake it till you make it" mantra. I tried to convince myself that things would turn around, that someday, the constant ringing in my ears would just fade into the background because no one could live this way. I was so desperate that I even volunteered...
