    Severe Two-Week Tinnitus Spike After Vacuuming Despite Wearing Earmuffs

    @Kerry151, I don’t mean to scare you, but once we have tinnitus, our auditory system seems to be weakened for life. You always need to protect your ears in noisy environments (above 80 dB). I personally use earplugs even when using the hair dryer. Spikes can last a long time. I’ve been...

    Lenire — Bimodal Stimulation Treatment by Neuromod

    Do you guys think an improved version of Lenire might be available in the near future? A version that would not only help users adapt to tinnitus but also reduce its intensity, similar to Dr. Shore’s device? Maybe I’m dreaming a bit, but since this device has been on the market for about five...

    Hold your head high, dear friend. Consider yourself lucky to have at least a woman in your life who can support you. Be strong, for yourself, for her, for your future. Do it for your mother too. I would love my parents to see me happy too. I know I'll be depressed for the rest of my life too...

    Losing Myself — Considering an Exit Because of Unbearable Tinnitus

    Hi @another_person, I’m so sorry to read your story. The way you describe your tinnitus and how it affects your mood is exactly how I would describe my own experience. I use the same words as you, so yes, everyone here understands your suffering. The first time I had tinnitus, I was 21 years...

    How This All Works for Me — My Current Status and How I've Regained a Full and Rich Life Despite Tinnitus

    Thank you for sharing your success story. However, there is still something that does not reassure me at all. Even though you practise long-term mindfulness meditation and daily yoga, there are still nights when you cannot sleep. Personally, I have finally accepted, with great difficulty, that...

    I've been taking Mirtazapine for sleep for 4 years now. The 2 first years my sleep was not so bad. So I started to resume a social life 2 years ago but my tinnitus worsen dramatically. I haven't been to any party or loud place for more than one year and a half (and I will never go back to any...

    New University of Michigan Tinnitus Discovery — Signal Timing

    I have always wondered what would happen to this device if, unfortunately, Susan Shore were to pass away before it was brought to market. Now that we have learned that more tests need to be carried out, which will take many more years, and given Shore’s advanced age, this is a legitimate...

    I want to die, my tinnitus has only gotten worse over the past six years. Now I hear something like the sound of a vacuum cleaner, and my other sounds are more intense (high-pitched sounds, electrical sounds, the sound of a dental drill, Morse code, the sound of pipes). I can't sleep at all :(...

    Artificial Intelligence — Assisted Tinnitus Support with ChatGPT-4

    Unfortunately, I agree with the previous answers: no promising treatment is expected in the short term. The only thing I can imagine appearing sooner is an improved version of Lenire. This device has been on the market for five years now. We can hope that Neuromod will use customer feedback to...

    New University of Michigan Tinnitus Discovery — Signal Timing

    I have said several times in this thread that the device will not be on the market before 2030 in the US and not before 2035 outside the US. Unfortunately, from what I can see, it seems that my prediction was quite accurate. So many more years of suffering... But I hope it will be worth it and...

    New University of Michigan Tinnitus Discovery — Signal Timing

    As a reminder, Susan Shore stated during the interview that she is unsure if the device will be effective for individuals with non-somatic tinnitus, as it was only tested on those with somatic tinnitus. However, I remember that she also said she hopes the device will help millions of tinnitus...

    Am I the Unluckiest Person on Earth When It Comes to Tinnitus? My 6-Year Tinnitus Nightmare: How One Festival Changed My Life

    Hi @trevl, thank you for asking about me. I’d love to say that I feel better, but unfortunately that’s not the case. I’ve been dealing with a terrible spike for two years now. I no longer consider it a spike, but rather a permanent worsening. What frightens me most is that I don’t know the...

    Am I the Unluckiest Person on Earth When It Comes to Tinnitus? My 6-Year Tinnitus Nightmare: How One Festival Changed My Life

    Hi @delta784, we are both terribly unlucky. You developed this cruel disease without EVER having been to a party, and I developed it despite ALWAYS wearing hearing protection, including custom-made earplugs. We lost the lottery. We must be a tiny minority who developed tinnitus undeservedly...

    My tinnitus also prevents me from gaining muscle mass at the gym because of the lack of sleep it causes me. It's so frustrating to work hard for nothing.
