    NeuroMed Tinnitus Program — Founded by Dr. Hamid Djalilian

    I saw Dr. Djalilian two months after the onset of my symptoms and was greatly disappointed. He diagnosed me with silent migraines and handed me a pamphlet for more information. However, when I read it later, none of the symptoms described applied to me. Curious, I looked up his research and...

    Suicidal

    That’s just shitty. I’m sorry. As for the employment situation, don’t beat yourself up. I’m not sure what field you’re in or if you're working remotely, but finding a job in California is incredibly challenging. Even with a PhD, it's common to never hear back from employers. Have you considered...

    Suicidal

    Sorry to hear that life has really taken a downturn in a few areas for you. It's not easy going through it alone, but having your parents around is a great support. Maybe you can keep your car registered in California if that helps with your job search. Why can't you register it online? If it's...

    You can wear double ear protection. Had one years before I got T. It makes whirring machine movement noise but not very loud. Its nothing like an MRI.

    Hyperacusis and Tinnitus Following Acoustic Shock: How Can I Continue My Life?

    Hi there. Like @Utdmad89 said, @IYIiKe is busy posting bullshit just to read it back to himself. Don't give it any thought. The best you can do is figure out the users on here who state unfounded opinions and simply brush them off or place on ignore. The reality is yes, there is a condition...

    A solid nights rest is the best thing for this battle. Slow breathing exercises also greatly help me when sleep is low. Glad you are rested and feeling better. Good job.

    Hyperacusis and Tinnitus Following Acoustic Shock: How Can I Continue My Life?

    What you are saying is nonsensical and not true, as most tinnitus sufferers are not studied. Don't make up statements. Post research or say 'in my opinion' because that is all you say here.

    Full Circuit: Finding Hope and Coping with Tinnitus — My Journey and Advice

    I'm very glad to hear that you're feeling much better and able to reflect on your progress. It's important to recognize and appreciate how far you've come. Regarding SSRIs, it's true that they can sometimes cause tinnitus or ear damage, though this is rare. If you're struggling with sleep and...

    New University of Michigan Tinnitus Discovery — Signal Timing

    You are the only person who read it right. Damn, one of the few times it would be nice to be wrong? This device has no real-world application claim to work, and the further it's delayed, the more we wait to see if it works at all. I struggle to see any ENT solving or even treating tinnitus...

    @RunningMan I dont think it will help my tinnitus at all..Ive got too many sounds and too severe. It just sucks to see its not yet been used by anyone who it might help. No idea if it works. I dont believe the self-reporting data in the paper.

    Sound Distortion When I Speak, Hyperacusis & Tinnitus — Unusual Case: A Plea for Advice

    Hi @TheCapybara! How are you coping today? Yes, the sound left completely. I whisper talked the first few months and barely left the house so I think my eardrum inflammation or whatever that was hurt, healed up. My tones still worsened though, and then again to a horrible level (what I have...

    Sound Distortion When I Speak, Hyperacusis & Tinnitus — Unusual Case: A Plea for Advice

    Hey there. Type in "metallic sound" in the search box and you will see the other people with it. I had it. It's in my old posts. It was in the right ear only and was obviously more pronounced when I used earplugs. It was at the onset of my tinnitus. Yes, with loud talking it happened. It was...

    If you see this post and your T isnt at my level - be very careful to avoid this. Protect your ears when its loud or can be at any moment. Get sleep, support and practice self-care. Best wishes.

    Lord, when you have umaskable T! The static is so loud that putting on ear muffs only slightly heightens the sound. However, putting in foam plug makes it pure torture. Combining the two is insanity and only do this for the gardeners.
