    As I'm working with AI lately and it amazes me every day I'm building hope scientific research using AI might help solving tinnitus and hyperacusis sooner than expected. 🤞

    Seems i'm sentenced to take gabapentine on a daily basis. If I don't T is much more electrical/static and my ear channels burn. Resulting in a permanent headache. It sucks

    A Tinnitus-Free Day: Why Is Tinnitus Regarded as a Biomechanical or Neurological Issue?

    Does a tinnitus-free day mean you woke up without tinnitus and went to sleep without it? And then the next day, your tinnitus returned to its ‘normal’ level?

    Because T is on the edge of the damaged frequenties (possible interaction inner and outer HC's?) my hope is eventually T will reduce because more HC's die due to aging. Maybe I'm at peak T. At least I still have hope.

    I avoid speaking because it elevates my T. My voice isn't used to speaking anymore, it starts cracking after a conversation of 15' at normal levels. Yesterday I had a 45' conversation one to one and T is blasting so loud it hurts, left side of my head feels numb.

    Waking up with burning ears and going to sleep with even more intens burning ears. It's a constant torture. Really wouldn't mind not waking up.

    Seeking Support for Severe Tinnitus Spike After Very Loud Restaurant with DJ Playing Music

    Good sleep is essential. I try to improve my sleep with Gabapentin (I take 150 mg, cutting a 300 mg tablet in half) and Melatonin (3 mg). Most of the time, this helps me sleep through the night, though not always.

    Headphones vs. In-Ear Monitors (IEMs): The Safest Option with Pre-Existing Tinnitus?

    The safest option is not to use either. Before you know it, you might find yourself lurking on this forum every day, with nothing else you feel you can do, wishing you had never used headphones or IEMs.

    Am I More Susceptible to Further Hearing Damage Compared to Someone without Hearing Loss?

    After reading the work of Megan Beers Wood and reflecting on my own experiences, I would say yes. Why take the risk?
