Did you have any blood work done before starting the Mirtazapine?

I can understand your frustration. I have had periods of relief from it, and I start thinking I can get my life back — and then, bam. Whatever is causing tinnitus affects so much more than just the ears. Mine ramped back up in March, and it is so loud and shrill that I cannot concentrate on...

I live not far from a railroad that is active after midnight. The horns were louder a few years ago.

Has anyone had a history of medical bone imaging that included radio contrast dye, such as a bone scan or CT scan? In my opinion, the weak response from the medical community suggests that the cause of this torture — at least in many cases — is known, or perhaps even intentional.

By 5 years in - yawning no longer caused any sound. (My ears were oddly dry too.). Looked up Eustachian tubes - knowing these tubes are normally responsible for ear pop noise when yawning. I came across and followed a video on how to clear clogged Eustachian tubes by Austin Goh. I can't praise...

Hi Erik, It's been awhile since you wrote but I have read your letter after reading elsewhere complaints of tinnitus developing after having the vaccine by J & J. My tinnitus began just after dental work--it began with severe infectious like reaction, had the pins and needles and anxiety as...

Hi Rainer, my initial downward spiral began after dental work that caused an infectious or allergic type of reaction with the work at the epicenter. I sought both dental and medical help to no avail, but was dx'd with Celiac disease. When I didn't comply being 47 years old and previously tested...

In addition to my above observation, I had another peculiar health issue aside from tinnitus and blurred vision begin after dental work. That was that I suddenly lost all body hair on my left side. Pits, other places not polite to mention, but lost only the left half, all leg hair that finally...

Interesting. I've noticed the same with vodka but, noticed an opposite reaction with inexpensive peach snaps. Perhaps the answer we are going to be forced into is to find a brand of alcohol that works and drink daily? (I guess we could turn into drunks and then claim alcohol is our tinnitus...

Mine has been horrible during this shut down. It is torture to hear a shrill high pitched noise in your ears 24-7. Is torture the point. I also live in the United States. I was born here. My ancestor fought in the revolutionary war not only for his rights but for his grandchildren's rights...

I cannot take a shower because it makes my tinnitus spike. Funny in the beginning the shower was one place I could go to find relief. But, then that changed. There is something in the water and some new sort of aural tracking device that causes this, that they apparently remedied because so...

Hi Danielle, I'm so sorry that you are going through this too. Since the shut down I've had the most dreadful problems with tinnitus. It is not that I am home more, because I was home before the shut down. I consider what is going on to be torture, some sort of surveillance, to be honest...

Hi Steph, Mine is a continuous high pitched hiss. Normal? Normal tinnitus happens like if you go to a concert or school dance that is too loud for maybe a half hour after, or like in the old days with analog headphones too loud - too long or if you had to use a high speed tool like a router or...

A day of silence sounds like - well, to be honest it wasn't the lack of screeching in my head that i noticed most. It was eye focus, having energy, thinking like I used to, without effort and quickly, feeling happy, appreciating so much, not feeling dead, useless and in perpetual torture...

While the thought is understandable, there's gotta be a better way. My tinnitus has been since the shut down, elevated, screaching, pressure in my head and spine, static shocks and more... making me feel so sick, not even hungry. It's hard to imagine having any fight left if I were to catch the...
