@bill 112 Your story is horrible! Why did they refuse you steroids?

@Blake it's a very good question! Maybe these old people you are referring to were perhaps birds in an anterior life! I don't think that hearing loss is genetic, but I do think that there are more vulnerable ears than others, and I can refer to my own story, I have an accident 4 months ago with...

@Markku, why sleep with a real fan when you can have the same sound through your mp3? Just asking! :cool: :p

Thank you @Louise for this thread, I was asking myself the same question and as I read the following posts, especially those of @Karl I understood that hearing aids can really make a huge difference on reducing the perception of tinnitus. But the question I also ask myself is what is exactly the...

I was just wondering if the wind and water that I hear right now through my mp3 (as white noise I'm still alas afraid of my T) can damage my hearing after 3 months, the volume is of course very very low, but I was just questioning myself if earphone could be bad for the hair cells, it' not music...

I have read that recently in a french documentation, they don't give cortisone and vasodilatator easily in the UK, for recent T sufferers it's not really a good protocole, acoustic trauma is an emergency and only cortisone and vasodilatator can save your precious hair cells, can restore a part...

@Louise I don't know if you are still active on the forum, but if it's the case can you give me the link of the thread of @mock turtle?

I know this not the thread for Rivotril, (sorry!), but I am just wondering if there is not a kind of " natural Rivotril" now on the market with exacltly the same effects without the addiction effects?

Thank you @undecided for your answer, when you say 3-4 weeks do you mean with Rivotril? What is your own experience with that drug? If it's the case how long did you take it and what kind of improvement did you feel?

Jack I think in "as good as it gets" for this line he got an Oscar!! :woot::rockingbanana:

I don't know if homeopathic remedy works or not, apparently it works pretty well for @coolbeer, I did some quick research on homeopathic treatments for T and tihs is what I found: # Chininum sulfuricum 9CH or 15CH # Natrum Salicylicum 9CH or 30CH # Ignatia Amara 5CH # Arnica 15CH # Colocynthis...

A lot of information here @coolbeer, but why do you not mention CHINIMUM SULFURICUM? I thought it was the main homeopathic remedy for tinnitus :)

@Markku, are you still taking clonazepam? My belgium ENT prescribed me Rivotril last december but I was so afraid of the side effects and the withdrawal effects that I didn't dare to take it, (as I have understood it's very hard/painful to stop this kind of drug). I'm still on xanax but now I am...

Hi @Sebastians, for me it was a combination of whiplash and the airbags deployment :( It was a brand new car and before my car accident I didn't know that airbags could be so dangerous for our hearing, If only I had known this before buying our car, I would have asked my husband to deactivate...

Why did you try antibiotics? I thought it was ototoxic for the ears! Strange that your doc gave you antibiotic, I think that prednisolone helped you the most. When I was on prednisolone (alas 3 weeks after the onset of my T which was far too late to save some of my precious hair cells :() I woke...
