love your budgie! had a very similar one ;) for 13 years...these birds are so much joy

I'm very sorry for your suffering... To answer the either or game I have to say I'd pick tinnitus in almost all cases if not all...maybe 400lbs would not be thaaat bad because one can always get thin again...but if it only counts like be and stay that obese then tinnitus is better... I guess i...

thank you, i hope yours will stay away too! i think that if our ears get hurt (in my case ot was an infection but i think that the cause doesn't even matter much) and all this middle ear area that such things can happen...i went through a phase when my ears were sensitive in strangest ways (not...

i have as well, mine was also in sync with my heartbeat and it happened once when i was going to sleep, it was very odd, but happened only once for a minute or so when i was 2 months in

- short term pred does not need tappering, i had 5×100 without tapering - what you took mnoths ago already left your body; what you got now is a short therapy - my tinnitus got much better about 2 days after the last pill - i don't know your story, in my case doctor wanted to treat the...

no need to worry, it is not that much what you got and your doctor prescribed it so i guess he knows about your med history, etc etc i took 100mg each day for five days and was totally fine, my t got milder, the difference was totally worth it. no side effects, the drug leaves your body soon...

i'm happy that your t has gone down a bit! i hope you'll get better and better i don't think that you caused permanent damage with this, just remember a situation like this and be careful next time; try not to worry so much, let the time heal your ears and focus on your school, activities ...

yes do buy the plugs for swimming - i use them so the water does not invade my ears ;) i don't need another infection and i swim with my head up in the swimming pool right now (again, because of the infection for as long as i have this condition). the plugs also block noises, i use ones which...

it is great that your t is fading ;) one advice- don't use headphones! i would even throw them away so you won't be tempted to do it ;) i even threw mine away- i didn't use them much, like once/month maybe or less and still got rid of them so i simply have no headphones which i could use and...

did you also grow up with the vienna's new year concert at the 1st of january? my parents/grandparents always/almost always have it on playing in the background on this day if they are at home ;) i have a priviledge that i live near such events (in germany) and they are really cheap to visit...

am I the only one who found out that sleeping with a fan is even a thing since I got tinnitus and read about it on forums/...? i really didn't know people do sleep/study/...with these white noises, either real or from youtube etc... since i have tinnitus i checked them out on youtube and some...

your doctor is right. well, i think he is, i did not study medicine but as far as i understand it it is ok- also from my experience: i took 100mg for 5 days (each day early in the morning 100mg), no tapering and everything was fine.

are you sick/have cold/maybe an ear infection? maybe check that out with your ent? do you have allergies? it was my first t sound, but i was sick and had an ear infection when it happened and had allergies too...it went away after 2 months or so...now i still have t in one ear only, but it is...

I've been taking ginkgo (the proper more expensive one like Tebonin etc) for almost 2 months... or maybe rather 1.5 months and noticed a lot of improvement, my tinnitus in one ear even went away for most of time. I take ginkgo in the morning and in the evening, the recommended dose for tinnitus...
