@Grambo, let us know how it is going. I am curious about what you are doing with the DMSO. I know it is very healing.

Hey Pete j, I'm 4 years into this and I am just now able not to freak the f out at every loud sound. I don't like loud sounds and they make me anxious, but I don't go into complete and utter panic every time...it took me 4years!! I've always been a little slow, what can I say? Hugs

@Matchbox, it would obviously be shitty to get a palinacousis diagnosis but I read that an anti-epilectic medication completely took away the symptoms...

@Stacken77, I know, reactive tinnitus and hyperacusis really really stink. I've been wrestling both for 4 years. A few months ago I began taking a bunch of nootropics, brain boosting supplements. I can honestly say that I feel much calmer, they are really helping me. Although earlier my mom was...

Aggravating.

@Jazzer, you were an adorable baby and I wish I could pick you up and hold you and make you feel you were cherished. I'm so sorry your mom was so incapable of love.

Jesus Brian, what a disappointment. I'm sorry you went through that. They sound like a bunch of aholes.

Hey there, glad that your tinnitus isn't affecting you too badly... as far as the turbo trainer is concerned, I hate to say it and everybody is different so it's hard to know, but I would say that 64 decibels might really be getting on the high end of your comfort zone sound wise...

@Matchbox, thank you! You may be on to something... there is a link to trauma and autistic type behavior. I don't think I have actual PTSD, but 51 years of enough shitty things happening have taken a toll, to be sure... and made me kind of a bizarre individual. Oh well.

Thanks for the update, mrbek!

Eleanor, how are you? Has your tinnitus spike calmed down? I sure hope so. Congratulations however on your benign diagnosis! It sounds like you've been through so much this past year, thank goodness now you can begin to heal...

I'm just curious. I believe that right around the same time as my noise trauma induced tinnitus and hyperacusis, I also developed photophobia, intense sensitivity to light. I hate the headlights that aren't brights but to me seem like brights... anyone else? I didn't see anything about a...

Unfortunately green tea upsets my belly. It's a mystery because I can drink black tea or coffee no problem. @El BUZZ, just wanted to compliment you on your vocabulary!!! I learned a new word, exigent!! I also very much appreciate the fker thrown in for good measure. :cool: :cool:

I actually set my alarm for 4.20 am to take my dog for a quick walk and try to avoid the loud work trucks, cars, motorcycles etc. Even with earplugs and muffs sometimes they sound like an explosion in my ears... @Kriszti, I'm so glad your motorbike neighbor was understanding. I feel like...

Hi Eleanor. I'm 51 and really really wish I would've spent more time being grateful for youth and relative health in my younger years. To answer your question, my tinnitus I guess would be maybe a 5/10 and mostly it is the crickets and cicadas gone crazy and it is in my brain, not my ears so...
