Hi everyone, It's been a while since I've posted here - primarily because I was progressing well on my habituation journey. Until I recently contracted Lyme disease. And then Epstein Barr Virus. It's been challenging to say the least but thank God I am able to have medical care for the Lyme...

Hi TheDanishGirl, I don't know if it is "better". I only know that it is not mRNA (as is the vaccine for Pfizer). Based on my understanding, Novavax is based on traditional vaccine development, which is that it injects a small amount of the virus into your body and stimulates an immune...

Hi everyone, Has anyone tried noise-cancelling earbuds (Apple or Samsung) while driving? I can get by without earplugs for short drives up to about 1 hour, but I find on longer drives, or multiple drives per day, that the road and engine noise make my tinnitus worse (I have reactive tinnitus)...

I would get the Novavax vaccine if I chose to get a second dose. I don't believe the Novavax vaccine is still pending approval in the US.

Further to my earlier post, can anyone provide guidance on how they integrate the use of earplugs with Tinnitus Retraining Therapy? My audiologist recommends using the TRT devices from the time I'm awake until going to sleep. But there are times I believe I need hearing protection when in loud...

Thanks, Mister Muso. I think I will save the headphones for air travel.

Thanks, NormySan. I will give them a try. Regards, Michael

Hi everyone, With COVID-19 starting to wind down (I'm based in NY), my employer is requiring employees to come back to the office 2-3 days per week. I was always dreading this day because I was wondering how I would manage my tinnitus while commuting back and forth to the office. By way of...

Hi, I started taking NAC (600 mg in the morning) about 2 weeks ago. I have reactive tinnitus and unless there are other factors at play (always a possibility with tinnitus), my tinnitus has gone up significantly. Mostly whooshing/hissing sounds, combined with some various tones due to the...

Hi, yes that is what I am experiencing too. Have you tried anything to bring down the spike? Sudafed takes the edge off a bit for me.

Hi, Hope those of you on Tinnitus Talk in the NE are faring well during this weekend's winter storm (or blizzard in some locations like mine on Lond Island). I have been dealing with tinnitus now for just over one year. Making some progress in my habituation journey, thanks to the posts from...

Yep. Metagenics is not cheap. I haven't really seen this impact sleep, but it does keep me calmer throughout the day.

Metagenics 300 mg/day. Made from sunflower oil.

Hello Sarah, I recognize my response to your post is very late, but I came across it when I started to look on Tinnitus Talk to see if there were others whose tinnitus increased or spiked due to wind. I live on Long Island (New York) and with the winter, comes windy weather. I have recently...

I've been taking Phosphatidylserine for nearly 2 months. The intensity of my tinnitus seems to have gone down a bit. I can't tell if this is due to an actual reduction in my tinnitus or that I am just less bothered by it. If it is the latter, I am guessing it could be due to a reduction in my...
