Hi @Dr Nick, Thank you so much for your response. It has been really difficult to find others who have the same “phenotype” of tinnitus, for lack of a better word. I just had some follow-up questions for you, and I would really appreciate your input if possible. 1. Regarding your hum, you...

Hi Dr Nick. Just wondering if your low pitch hum ever went away? And how are you coping with it? Mine is similar to yours in that it is spiked by car trips. Having a terrible time currently and would love your insight. Thank you

Hi, I recently read your posts about the low pitch hum, and I’m really struggling with it. I was wondering if yours has improved at all. Does yours come in bursts, like a hummm every few seconds, or is it constant? I’ve also noticed an increase when driving, even for short distances. I believe...

I had a noise trauma in my other ear about four months earlier and had some leftover Prednisone. I developed a new tone in my left ear, a deep subwoofer-like noise, which we had no explanation for, and it was unbearable. I still have it now, but it is probably the second worst compared to the...

Hi all, I recently had an intratympanic steroid injection after experiencing a reduction in my initial tinnitus while taking oral Prednisone—though only while I was on it. Two days after the injection, a new sound emerged. This new sound resembles an old kettle whistling, but I do not hear it...

Thank you for your support. I really appreciate it. Unfortunately, I haven’t had anything to suggest a spike and noise has never affected my tinnitus. May I ask how long have you had tinnitus? Do you have a family? Are you truly able to be happy, relax and enjoy life? I sincerely hope that you...

Hi there, I developed tinnitus after taking Bupropion in 2022 for approximately 10 days. I discontinued immediately and was left with tinnitus. I started to slowly habituate, still ups and downs and lots of meltdowns - more due to my reaction to the tinnitus rather than the actual loudness...

Hey you mentioned that nortriptyline exacerbated your tinnitus. What dose were you on and once you ceased the medication, did it return to your baseline tinnitus? Thank you!

Please go to the Tinnitus Association Victoria website. They have good information. They do free phone counceling 7 days per week. There are several numbers on their website of tinnitus councillors who live with tinnitus happily. I have found them incredibly helpful.
