I want to second this post. I think there is a great chance that you did absolutely no harm to your ears due to those custom plugs. Think about all of the musicians with tinnitus (Neil Young, Anthony Kiedis, Chris Martin, Grimes, the list goes on) that play night in and night out. These people...

This is ridiculous. Your "risk" going to this event with custom made musicians ear plugs is very close to 0. Countless musicians have tinnitus (Anthony Kiedis, Neil Young, Steve Aoki, Chris Martin, Eric Clapton, the list goes on), and they continue playing loud concerts DAILY without their T...

I don't know why you're so against therapists. A large percentage of the people on this forum have some kind of anxiety issues or depression that predated their tinnitus. Most people that have this disorder don't really care about it. People that have decided that life is not going to be good...

Get some musicians ear plugs and go clubbing. There are countless DJ's with tinnitus (Grimes, Steve Aoki, Eddy Temple Morris) and they're totally fine with the custom plugs. Can you ever be 100% sure that you will never get a permanent spike? No. But the odds of damaging hearing in a club with...

I'm sorry but if you were unsafe with earplugs I think the entire young music industry would be getting T. They aren't because we now have awareness about how important protection is. And moreover, the elder music industry, who has T, is all still playing, just with the plugs. In fact, I've...

Pete Townshend seems to have reduced volume significantly with homeopathic methods? Anyone know what the heck he's doing?

This thread is ridiculous! If you have musicians plugs at 31db (meaning you KNOW you're getting 31db reduction), the chances of your T worsening after a concert are essentially 0. Don't stand by the speakers, go to concerts. Young, Clapton, Bono, Chris Martin all these guys have T and they play...

@dfl Can we get an update on how you're doing with the TRT? Hoping for a positive response!

If you read the article, the only restaurants that get as loud as a rock concert are for a very brief period due to coffee machines being on. It's pretty doubtful that anyone--T or no T--attending these restaurants is getting any kind of serious damage being there for an hour or two, as they're...

It doesn't matter what your T originally comes from--ear infection, noise trauma, cold, TMJ, drugs--noise above 85db (8 hours at 85db, 4 hours at 88db, 2 hours at 91db and so on...) can always make it worse. Hoping your T comes back to baseline, though! We understand the relationship between...

If you watch the Dr. Sedley interview I posted, he talks about cutting the auditory nerve. In some people, the tinnitus actually does go away completely. However, there is no way to know whether or not this will be the case, and it's therefore not even worth the attempt. This condition is just...

@Markku If you could permanently get rid of either the floaters or the tinnitus, which would you choose?

Question... if this drug really does anything (which I would like to think all the testimony on TT proves it does), why aren't all the epileptics on Trobalt that also happen to have T (which is 20% of them) going to their doctors and raving about their T levels lowering?

Really interesting stuff. The future is bright!

Hi Joseph. I admire your persistence with this diet, but would caution you in advising other members to try it. This diet is anything other than an extreme long shot to reduce or cure tinnitus. The Ketogenic diet is not healthy to be on, and is only recommended in severe cases of epilepsy when...
