    Hm, that doesn't sound right.

    Can Propiomazine Make Tinnitus Worse? Is It Ototoxic?

    I'll google as much as I want and need, thanks bud! Those are the most ototoxic meds yes, but there are others. You're just showing off your ignorance here. No idea who Neil Bauman is. No idea what Prochlorperazine is, it hasn't been mentioned in the thread. As for antihistamines, I only...

    Suicidal

    So relatable. I'm a wreck when it comes to these things: my heart starts beating fast and I feel fearful just to hear my neighbour stomp around above me at night. It's like I have PTSD of some sort.

    Low Frequency Tinnitus

    Reading through this thread again. It’s insane how specific some of these symptoms are, like it stopping and starting rapidly when talking or when other sounds of moderate level are heard. Exactly like mine to an eerie degree. Mine came in these insanely loud attacks though, like someone pushed...

    Doctors love to say that, don't they.

    Since it's impossible to block out, I listen to nature sounds and birdsong and try to focus on those sounds instead of my tinnitus.

    I Took Some Zopiclone and the Tinnitus Stopped

    Benzos, and probably Z-drugs as well, are basically a temporary cure for tinnitus. This is well known among tinnitus researchers. However, it's mostly considered a non-viable treatment because of the massive potential for side effects and addiction.

    Basically Cured with Psilocybin

    Your "tinnitus specialist" might be right, I also suspect tinnitus can be caused by psychedelics if there's already a predisposition or existing hair cell or synapse damage. Maybe even by some other mechanism entirely. But without further motivation your specialist may just as well have been...

    Catastrophic Tinnitus Worsening After 7 Years — Caused by a Kiss on the Ear

    Two weeks isn't a long time. My tinnitus varies a lot but every time a new sound that later became permanent first appeared, it was much much worse in the beginning and after 1-6 months they all decreased significantly in volume to the point of being so low I can barely hear it over my "usual"...

    Well, do you have hearing loss? The only reason to use HAs with T is if you have significant hearing loss, in those cases the experience of having T can feel easier since you can now hear more sounds and focus less on T. Be skeptical, ask yourself if they want to help you or just sell hearing...

    Yes, it's fascinating. Some people who experience a severe vertigo event lose the ability to maintain balance if a strong fear response is involved. In fact, bipedal balance should technically not be possible in humans. That's what a Phd lecturer told us anyway.

    Will You Get Vaccinated for Coronavirus (COVID-19)? Can It Make Tinnitus or Hyperacusis Worse?

    They seem to be different, though I don't understand exactly how. J&J is a vector based vaccine that, similar to Pfizer, instructs cells to start making the antibodies or spike proteins, but Novavax is just straight up spike proteins ready to go. The effects of Novavax on tinnitus remains to be...
