    Suicidal

    I didn’t get a no. I received an outline of their application procedure and was encouraged to email if I had any more questions. For now, I’ve managed to push this idea to the back of my mind, though in recent months, my tinnitus hasn’t improved. I suppose I’ve just become a little more...

    Suicidal

    After over ten years of living with this condition and a dramatic worsening in 2022, plus some added hyperacusis, I did the unthinkable: I reached out to an assisted dying clinic in Switzerland. Typically, this organization quickly informs people if they can’t assist them upon first contact...

    I think it’s fairly common for it to seem worse when hungover.

    Hey there, Saw your post and although I don’t really experience what you do I hope you’re doing okay, notice we are both in the same part of the world. Feels like you can be the only one with ear issues.

    After Waking Up My Tinnitus Is Really Loud, Making Me Feel Like Hurting Myself

    When I wake up, I seem to have a few seconds where I can’t quite detect my tinnitus even though I’m looking for it, then suddenly it kicks in... ah, there you are!

    Anyone in here hyped for the Resident Evil 4 remake that’s dropping in a couple of weeks?

    Amoxicillin — Ototoxicity / Safety Profile? User Experiences?

    My tinnitus worsened in May 2022. After it had already worsened, I was on Amoxicillin for pneumonia in June 2022, and for a nasty gum infection just last week. Amoxicillin had no effect on my tinnitus.

    Back Again, Unfortunately: Tinnitus Left My Perception Twice, Returned After Using In-Ear Headphones

    In some respects yes, in others no. The constant eeeee in my left ear has gone down a bit, so that’s good. Unfortunately, I have developed this Morse code like sound in my right ear. Not particularly loud and only noticeable in silence but disheartening that it’s showed up. Tinnitus is wonderful!

    Favourite Video Games?

    It's okay I guess, very much in the Tank Control style of the older games, just a bit forgettable. Still worth playing though. Resident Evil 6 is indeed absolute nonsense. No idea why they went in that direction with it.

    No love (or even a ranking) for Resident Evil 0?

    Back Again, Unfortunately: Tinnitus Left My Perception Twice, Returned After Using In-Ear Headphones

    It has backed off in severity a little, but it's not gone back to where it was before, which is quite disheartening. However, I'm still hopeful as time goes on it will fade back or I will habituate to the point where I don't care so much. You are right, my old tinnitus seems perfect in...

    Back Again, Unfortunately: Tinnitus Left My Perception Twice, Returned After Using In-Ear Headphones

    Ah sorry, yes. Both noise induced tinnitus that I encountered in 2014 and again in 2016 faded away over the course of 6 or so months. No indication this is going to happen again though yet though, but it's only been 6 weeks. Luckily I've started to sleep a lot better in the last few weeks, so...

    Back Again, Unfortunately: Tinnitus Left My Perception Twice, Returned After Using In-Ear Headphones

    No improvement yet, though it’s coming up to just six weeks. Still early days, not giving up hope yet it’ll improve.

    Back Again, Unfortunately: Tinnitus Left My Perception Twice, Returned After Using In-Ear Headphones

    Three weeks and no improvement. I don't know what to do, I desperately want my tinnitus to go back to its previous baseline level. I'm really beginning to panic. Has anyone got any positive stories of noise-induced tinnitus being increased and going back to its previous level? I need to...
