It caused my ear issues and also other people’s - there’s enough evidence on this forum as well, so I’m just warning people based off my first hand experience. It’s the same as telling people not to go to rock concerts or clubs, which is often debated on this forum as well. It has the potential...

I suggest seeing a knowledgeable urologist. There are many people who can’t take these meds for other reasons than ears (strokes, heart etc.) and they still find their way to “pound town”. The meds are only one of the solutions out there. If you take it, you risk your tinnitus getting worse, no...

True, I may have used the term ototoxic not in the medically correct way, but as you mention, I am referring to the potential damage it can cause to the ears due to such vascular events.

Lol, yeah, when I looked into the use of these devices, I was a bit surprised how common it was and that it actually has benefits when used appropriately (and dangers when it is not). So, I was not shying away from suggesting these things to @ErnieMassri :D

No I wasn’t taking anything and hadn’t been prior to that, so the pill and excessive use of headphones are the only two culprits. In the meantime I managed to fix my problems naturally by addressing the psychological problems at first. I totally understand that it’s very tempting to take the...

Without going into debates (I did this before but I’m not doing this anymore to protect my mental health), I wanted to say a huge thank you to @GeorgeLG for his valuable contribution. It definitely does not go unnoticed and many people who silently read it, are definitely being helped by this. I...

@MatthijsDJ, thanks for sharing your personal experience and congrats on getting all these health issues under control. We all have our unique ways to deal with them and you have found yours and restored your life, which is great. Goed gedaan man!

Michael is right, it’s a natural thought to assume that doctors are the authority, but in case of tinnitus, and, other conditions for that matter they are not. So, always double check what they say. I cut out all use of headphones, no matter the volume and it helps. I truly don’t understand why...

4 months is very early days. Most people need at least 1.5 to 2 years to start improving. So, you need to hang in there.

@GeorgeLG, thank you for your posts, I have always been very appreciative of them and totally agree with what you say.

I recommend invisible in-ear hearing aids. You can wear them every time you’re outside and they are cutting off harmful frequencies. If the environment noise is too loud, you can quickly switch them off from your smartphone or adjust the volume, so they act like earplugs. It’s like wearing...

To protect yourself from such encounters, I recommend using in-ear hearing aids that can filter out harmful noises. With tinnitus you just really never know when you can get ambushed by ambulances, motorbikes, dogs etc. I never leave my house without them and on a few occasions (drunk moron...

No effect on tinnitus as such, but definitely helped me with anxiety and to wean off Mirtazapine.

Hi @makeyourownluck, I don’t know directly which supplements you’d need for your inflammation treatment, but if you tell me what exact your issue is, I can consult with my herbalist to get some guidelines.
