I must say, I’m usually a pretty positive person. But two nights ago, in the middle of the night, I seriously thought about suicide for the first time in my life. I’m scared—scared that I’ll lose this battle, that I won’t improve. I’m just scared. Since my setback or worsening a little over...

Hey @Hardwell, sorry for the very late reply. I must have missed your comment. Yes, it did resolve. The "cross-ear" tinnitus symptom lasted about two weeks, and the entire setback took roughly three months to return to the same level as before. I'm currently experiencing a new setback, which...

It has been a little over a year since my last post, so I thought I’d give you all another update! :) Since last year’s update, we had the final two months of 2023, November and December, and they were just as good as the months before! When 2024 started, my ears were doing well. Around...

Hi all, I thought it was time for an update since it has been a year since I updated here. So the last months of 2022 (November and December) my ears were pretty much trouble free. I experienced some problems with my eye(s) in November instead. One evening I suddenly got a blind spot about as...

The moon floats across the black skies No stars to be seen out tonight New life, what it feels like Snow falls, frozen tears hit the ground Winds whispering their secrets Wandering in the night, I keep them For you, I rid myself of evil Pale light gleams on my sword I cut the night as I'm...

Hey @John2000, did you ever find any supplement that worked for you? @Ben Winders, did your tinnitus come down after you stopped Xarelto? I had a micro clot in my eye (same side as my bad ear if that matters) in November and I mentioned this to my ENT recently. Now he wants me to try a low...

Hello, I have been struggling with ear-problems since 2018, for more in depth you can go to my introduction thread. But in November 2022 I also experienced eye problems. I suddenly got a blind spot in my left eye (same side as my bad ear, if that would matter). I got examined by an eye doctor...

I got my custom molded earplugs about a year ago now. If I remember correctly, the molding process didn't have much more sound than the swelling and removal of regular foam earplugs. This is of course only my personal experience and might differ from anyone else's. I have been using mine...

My cat, Freya :cat:

Not really sports, but I started walking daily (5 km average) in January 2022. In August I also bought a gym card at my local gym which I have been to 3 times a week, following the 5x5 stronglifts program. Since I started the gym, I have walked the remaining 4 days of the week. I have strictly...

Yes, well I am quite familiar with setbacks but this one was out of the blue, compared to the other setbacks where I kind of always have been exposed to loud sound. And yes, exactly like you described, as I am hearing sounds with my left ear, my right ear is making all the extra tones. And if...

Yes, it did get blocked all of a sudden. I have taken steroids before throughout my tinnitus/hyperacusis journey, I have not experienced any side effects from them either. So i might as well try. Oh I know there isn't, but I just need to let it out, talk and get advice. I'm kind of panicking...

Update: The tinnitus is now at an all time high, I've never heard it this loud :( I need some advice or encouraging words.
