    High Frequency Hearing Test

    Hi, I ended up having one done as part of screening me for a University trial. I cant now remember what it said. I guess the only comment I have is what do you do once you find out about the hearing loss in the higher frequencies? Would it aid in finding something to help the Tinnitus?

    Root Canal Needed — My Tinnitus Is Worsened by Noise

    I'm writing an update on this as I had the root canal treatment yesterday using LASER. It was very hard to find anyone in the UK willing to undertake the procedure using only laser but I did. And, what a find, he is excellent. I had over 1.5 hours of 'drilling' using only the laser. It was...

    Root Canal Needed — My Tinnitus Is Worsened by Noise

    Hi Lane, I'm very interested in this as I always go for natural, holistic resolutions first. I will definitely be looking into this. My problem is that the nerve inside the tooth has already died. So the pulp is dead/dying and that will lead to infection unless I do something. This is my first...

    I'm really sorry to hear that. If I find anything that helps me you'll be the first to know. So far Pregabalin for anxiety and last summer Ketogenic Diet did lessen it until someone hammered in my house and it increased. It was just one day after about 2 months Ketogenic I thought, hey that's...

    Its a good idea to have a stock of Prednisolone. What dose do you take if you think you may be exposed and after you know you have?

    Another good idea. Though if it can be done 100% with laser dentistry there may be no need as no noise?

    Root Canal Needed — My Tinnitus Is Worsened by Noise

    Hi @DebInAustralia, thanks for the lovely post. Did you manage to check my post prior to yours where I've found laser dentistry? I actually know nothing about root canals other than a quick look at the procedure on the net after a local dentist told me that's what my pain was about and he was...

    Root Canal Needed — My Tinnitus Is Worsened by Noise

    I've googled the laser dentistry. It appears there are a fair number of practices that use it in the UK. Here's a quote from one of them; "Lasers are non-invasive, quiet (so no drilling sound) and have no vibration like a conventional drill." The practice I took that from seem to do everything...

    That's a great thread actually. Consensus seems to be no plugs but do use headphones.
