    Liam Boehm — A Scammer or What?

    And people DO get silence. But it's not overnight, or guaranteed. Look, I don't disagree his communication needs work. His marketing needs work. But laughing all the way to the bank... you're not on the inside of this, so take it from someone who is - he puts in a lot of work, and he doesn't...

    Liam Boehm — A Scammer or What?

    So, I promised I'd check in. Here we go. First of all: Liam's not a scammer. He's an honest dude that does his absolute best to help people. Is he nuanced? No. Does he always make perfectly logical videos containing fully rational arguments? No. Can he be chaotic? Yes. Can the course be a...

    Liam Boehm — A Scammer or What?

    I'm as skeptical as the next guy, but some of the people in this thread need to take a long, hard look in the mirror. The amount of vitriol in this thread is ridiculous. Go check out all the testimonials on the website. Legit videos from people doing MUCH better. Or do you prefer to believe...

    Checking in from the Netherlands: Got Tinnitus from Using a Hammer Drill

    Over 9 weeks in. Finished my beshistine treatment, still on the nasal spray. I've been seeing a chiropractor and a physical therapist, which my ENT encouraged, and while nothing has been definitive, I feel like there's slow improvement. I tend to go asleep and wake up in virtual silence these...

    Tinnitus from Overusing Headphones at Loud Volumes: 1.5 Weeks In — Too Early to Tell?

    OK, so much to unpack in that post. :) So, let's get the bad news out of the way: if this wasn't an incident, but a consistent noise exposure, that's not good. That does mean the damage may be permanent. The good/better news: that doesn't mean all your symptoms will be permanent, or that the...

    Checking in from the Netherlands: Got Tinnitus from Using a Hammer Drill

    Hey @Midas I've always been careful with my ears. This was a freak incident for me. And while I believe you're right, many people use power tools incidentally and most walk away unscathed. My ex mentioned today she's used the same hammer drill I used while drilling a hole in my bathroom - a...

    Flare Audio Calmer — Does It Help Tinnitus?

    Been wearing today, road trip with the kids, restaurant etc. They do make things easier to manage from a sound sensitivity perspective. It's all just a little easier on the ears. As for my T, I sometimes felt better and sometimes felt worse. Eh. I'm going to keep trying them on.

    Checking in from the Netherlands: Got Tinnitus from Using a Hammer Drill

    Done with the prednisolon. That at least made the overall T better, if of course that was the real reason it got less. I don't think I can hear the constant tone at all anymore, just the oscillatory "this is likely not due to the hearing damage" noises. Next up physical therapy and a...

    Noise-Canceling Headphones Making Tinnitus Worse/Flare It Up?

    So maybe a silly question, but do you actually listen to music through these or just use them for the ANC? My ENT recommended against all headphones, and if you have to use them do it overear and low volume.

    Thanks for coming back and posting. :)

    Flare Audio Calmer — Does It Help Tinnitus?

    I think they're very clear in not actually claiming this works for tinnitus. Just that it has been the experience, and it's kind of a bi-product. I ordered a pair and since I have two buddies with tinnitus, we tried them all on. I didn't notice a difference, neither did my one friend. Both of...

    Checking in from the Netherlands: Got Tinnitus from Using a Hammer Drill

    Alright, 5 weeks in, and halfway through my prednison treatment. At this point, obviously, it's hard to pinpoint any specifics as to what's helping or isn't. However, I'm glad to say that my T has absolutely been more stable and better to handle the last couple of days. Just to give you guys...

    Checking in from the Netherlands: Got Tinnitus from Using a Hammer Drill

    Good Lord my T is all over the place. Almost silent all week late at night and morning. More active during the day. And then suddenly, still louder at night and loud in the morning... Tapering off as the morning progresses. ‍♂️

    Checking in from the Netherlands: Got Tinnitus from Using a Hammer Drill

    That sucks man. American? The one thing that made me really happy to move back to the Netherlands after living in the US: how f*cked you are in the States if you're not healthy or have money. Let alone lack both.

    Time for My Success Story (and About Time)

    I struggle to see the connection between your tinnitus and your divorce, though. Are you saying your wife left because you were suffering and depressed? I mean, that sucks balls man.
