That would make sense, it's just confusing when you google and get two different "brand names" with the same technology and stuff. And as you know the MRI business is not very easy to navigate anyways when it comes to "silent machines" as that is not a priority for manufacturers or hospitals. I...

Is Canon/Toshiba the same "thing"?

Is this method dead for tinnitus and hyperacusis?

What MRI should I choose for brain scan to LIMIT DAMAGE of worsening tinnitus, hyperacusis and ear pain? --- With sound levels ranging from 85-130 dB I am terrified beyond words. I had an open MRI brain done in 2003 and it was a trainwreck and I aborted the scan after aprox 60%. And I was in...

http://www.audiologyonline.com/articles/extra-protection-wearing-earmuffs-and-1218 "No empirical or theoretically derived equations are available that can predict the attenuation of an earplug and earmuff combination with sufficient accuracy to be useful" What the hell?

How do you calculate the noise reduction rate when using earplugs and earmuffs at the same time? If you have earplugs with a NRR of 33 dB and ear muffs with a NRR of 30 dB. What would the correct total NRR be? Please also explain your calculation :) I tried googling this, but did not find...

I had a 8000$ laser at home for treatment, it did nothing for me at all. My brother also has tinnitus and did not work for him either. I borrowed it from another tinnitus sufferer who claimed to have been better by using it.

No reason you can not play soccer. If your tinnitus is not affected by physical activity, then go for it! I played soccer for many years with tinnitus, never had any problems from it.

I was only 11, youngest here thus far by a mile. How did you all stay away from firecrackers your entire childhood etc? :)

Thanks. Obviously I think the key is to find out if "rebound disinhibition" means going back to baseline level of tinnitus OR if it makes it WORSE. Thats incredible important to know about. Personally I would find it very hard to believe it would make it permanetly worse, but I am no expert of...

October 2011 – 4 years of rehab down the drain I have had the following priorities with my rehab: 1.To avoid constant ear pain 2.To avoid permanently worsened tinnitus 3.To slowly come back to a normal life. To understand how much the situation has gone worse during the last weeks I need...

Hi Bee and thanks for your post! When you came down with hyperacusis and tinnitus a few months ago, was it the first time for you? Inositol seems mainly to be used against panic attacks etc which I am not suffering from. I take Mirtazapin, Zopiclone, Zyprexa and Melatonin to help me sleep...

Thanks alot for your thoughts. I understand that tolerance is the key factor for long term use, its not an option it seems. Do you still take Clonazepam from time to time or have you quit completely? If you have quit completely and your tinnitus continue to worsen anyway, would you...

The MRI used by the clinic in switzeraland is a standard GE Discovery MR750 3.0 Tesla. With sound level of at least 110 dB according the GE. With a LDL of 40 dB myself, putting myself in for at least 80 dB for several hours is impossible. It would kill me. I had a bad experience in 2004 with...

My doctor point blank denied my clonazepam (Klonopin) request. He said it was one of the most highly addicting benzos available and only gave temporarily relief. I said I was only going to take it maybe once a week or when I am really stressed/freaked out with extremly high anxiety. Sort of...
