    Somatic Tinnitus

    thanks for the response. my post was moved to this thread and after reading it guess I now realize how common this thing actually is...you mention you have been able to stop the continuous sound for large portions of the day with supplements. May I ask what supplements were able to do this for...

    Somatic Tinnitus

    I hear one sound continually, a high pitch that I always describe as a "ballast going out in a fluorescent light sound". I have noticed when I bend my neck forward toward my chest, that sound gets louder. Anyone have any idea what that could mean? Or, does anyone share these same symptoms...

    Tinnitus and Feeling Spacey/Drunk for 7 Months

    PJ. I am curious how your Lyme's was diagnosed. I had a serious tick bite on my ear in 2016. It was bad, drained a lot. Anyway, I took meds during that time for like 3 weeks seems like doxicycline or something like that. U also tested positive for Lyme's but when blood was sent to another...

    Poll: When Your Tinnitus Gets Spiked, Does Your Hyperacusis Spike Too?

    most definitely! That being said, my tinnitis has not really eased up much since the onset but anything loud definitely puts it on another level and sound sensitivity spikes. For example, the music at my church is loud. When I go to church these days I wear high fidelity earplugs. Even then...

    Tinnitus and Feeling Spacey/Drunk for 7 Months

    I am close to 6 months in with tinnitus myself. Have you seen an ENT (not that I think they are so helpful in my experience)... I have seen 2. Your symptoms do not sound like mine as I don't experience dizziness. That sounds a little like Meniere's disease (you might google that and see what...

    N-Acetylcysteine (NAC)

    Quick but important question for anyone who has knowledge. I have noticed NAC supplements are being used extensively for tinnitus. I read somewhere, on another site, that it should not be used if you have amalgams. Does anyone here have any first hand knowledge about this information?

    Poll: How Often Do You Visit Tinnitus Talk?

    I got tinnitus around the same time as you. I do agree with you the more I visit here and research tinnitus or research tinnitus anywhere for that matter, the louder my tinnitus/hyperacusis becomes. It is important for me however to learn as much as I can about tinnitus, so I can learn ways to...

    Hearing Loss/Pressure After Tympanometry

    these tests were the exact reason I got this loud pitch hyperacusis/tinnitus which has never stopped since I left the ENT's office mid July 2019...it is now October 11, 2019. I went into the ent's office that day with intermittent ringing that I had first noticed in May 2019. At that point it...

    Attention Christians!

    I personally don't see this as being any worse than those of us who take anxiety meds to get thru this tinnitus hell. I can't believe that God would condemn any of us for dealing with our pain as long as we are not hurting others. There are many Christians that I know who would gladly be your...
