    Tinnitus Spiking/Worsened by ENT Examinations?

    You should consult an attorney. That sounds like a medical fuckup.

    Supplements (Ginkgo Biloba, Lipo-Flavonoids, Turmeric) Has Made My Tinnitus More Bearable

    It might just be natural healing. Tinnitus tends to go down in the 2-6 month quite substantially in a lot of people as your body heals and re-wires. However if you are improving and you think it might be due to the supplements by all means keep it up.

    Basically the screen is black and it lights up with him waking and the tone starts and he's staring at his fan, and he talks to his wife and tries to go about his daily activities and at night he tosses an turns while staring at his ceiling fan. Anyone know where this video is? It was great...

    Need Help: Can't Forgive Myself for Being So Stupid (Failing to Take Steroids)

    A lot of people that suffer a single event acoustic trauma recover a lot but it can take 2 years. Just live a healthy life and hopefully you body will heal. A lot of people like you have no improvement for months and then lots of improvement from 6 months to 2 years. For some reason ears...

    I Need Some Advice or Guidance — Possible TMJ? Upper Cervical Chiropractor Experiences?

    I always tell people here that massage therapists and physiotherapists use a lot more proven scientific things, but chiropractory doesn't have much science backing it up and be wary and is bordering on quackery. Someone I knew's GF had a stroke after a session and got a 50-100k settlement...

    The Five D’s for Those Who Can’t Sleep

    Funny that you say that. Talk Radio is my trance. The deep bassy voices, the conversation topics distract me, and the hiss and crackle of the radio mimics my tinnitus a bit so I can almost convince myself the noise in my brain is actually the radio (I occasionally turn off the radio to double...

    Poll: In the Past 7 Days, What % of Your Waking Hours Was Spent Thinking About Tinnitus?

    In January I was an 80% for a couple weeks (loudness of 7 or 8 out of 10). Sound got quieter and then it was like 20% for a few months (goes between 4-6/10). Nowadays not sure if I habituated or it got quieter, I think my brain is just tuning it out. (I think I'm consistently at like a...

    Tinnitus in the Brain? Not Always...

    Lidocaine but it's short acting and chronic use causes health problems so no doctor will prescribe it.

    Noisy Restaurant with Earplugs Causing a Big Spike

    You should take NAC and Magnesium every day permanently if you are so sensitive to spikes. They might be able to prevent an increase in tinnitus. I say this because when they give them to soldiers and club goers before loud events it prevents hearing damage. No guarantees though but they are...

    Chiropractic/Upper Cervical Work

    No, I don't think mine is related to the neck but who knows. I was just getting some pain but with some stretches and exercises and a bit of massage and adjusting the height of my computer screen (it was a bit too low) it went away in a couple weeks. Try a physio if you aren't satisfied with...

    Chiropractic/Upper Cervical Work

    What has a regular doctor and physiotherapist said? Chiros are notoriously dubious. I am worried you are getting scammed. They don't have legit medical credentials. The fact he signed you up for a 33 session play for big bucks while you are vulnerable should set off your Bullshit meter. A...

    BEWARE of the ECoG Test! Made My Tinnitus Much Worse

    You should consult a medical malpractice lawyer. You have a lot of documentation. Even these posts can be used as evidence. You might be able to find one that will take your case for free but they get 30% of the winnings. My friend had a case for something else and they took it on commission...
