And here's me no longer able to hear sounds that I could just five years ago when my tinnitus wasn't so loud. Good thing we have such studies to point out that it isn't the tinnitus that's to blame, it's... what? Aliens from outer space? Sonic weapons from hostile countries? Delusional...

I had the same experience with the question about hearing loss. Mine is in the mid-frequencies, but the options were only for low and high frequencies. I added this as a comment at the end. Another thing I noticed was that the survey only wanted to know about other conditions that had been...

I recently went through a bout of vertigo (also known as vestibular neuritis or labyrinthitis). According to what I read, these conditions are often caused by a virus that inflames and damages nerves in the inner ear, and herpes simplex 1 (ie. the cold sore virus) is a common culprit...

I take Tylenol frequently (migraines) and have never had a problem with it.

Still haven't had the new audiogram, and it's probably about time to do so. Thanks for the reminder!

NR gives me palpitations as well, although NMN does not. Regular exercise seems to help. I try to alternate the two supplements but on an irregular schedule (I like to keep my body guessing).

Yes, many people have improved over time. It's very early days for you, so in your place I would be very hopeful. Since your tinnitus has an identifiable cause (nerve damage), I suggest taking steps to promote nerve healing. For example, research diets that provide high levels of nutrients...

I haven't yet, I'm waiting until I think that my hearing has stopped improving. I'll definitely post the results when I have a new audiogram.

I don't think anyone is claiming there is a conspiracy. What I'm hearing from tinnitus sufferers is frustration with a certain... blindness... to things that fall outside one's expectations. That's not a criticism of the medical profession specifically - it's the human condition. And I'm...

I would hesitate to make any blanket statements about what any medication will or will not do, especially in relation to as heterogeneous a condition as tinnitus. There are always outliers. One of my main peeves with a good deal of the medical establishment is that when confronted with...

Very exciting discovery: Scientists have discovered a shape that blocks all sound–even your co-workers This could be a godsend for hyperacusis sufferers and all of us who have to live or work in noisy environments.

Alive by Nature. You can order directly from the company or from Amazon. They have sublingual tablets that are more convenient than the powder, but the tablets have stevia in them which I don't want or need. I think the powder tastes fine by itself. I'll check out GenEx, though.

I vary the dosage, and even skip several days from time to time. I started with 125 mg of NR twice a day, but I take the sublingual NMN powder four times a day up to around 100 mg per dose. In my experience, both seem to have similar benefits, although there are differences - for me, NMN has...

I get NR from Amazon or from the TruNiagen web site. As someone noted, TruNiagen sells 150 mg capsules and Basis has only 125 mg. In addition, Basis also contains pterostilbene (a chemical related to resveratrol), so their capsules contain even less NR. (Some studies have shown that...

I've been taking the recommended doses of NR or NMN (a related compound, also a NAD precursor) for about a year and a half. I had slight hearing loss in both ears (10 dB or so) and complete loss of a small range of frequencies in my right ear due to a car backfiring right next to me. I'm now...
