    NAC May Have Helped My Hearing Loss, Although It Definitely Gave Me High-Frequency Tinnitus

    I have to speak up when parts of your last post simply aren’t true and when the advice isn’t good. If that annoys you, so be it.

    NAC May Have Helped My Hearing Loss, Although It Definitely Gave Me High-Frequency Tinnitus

    Did you get this from ChatGPT as well? You should be a bit cautious about what you read and write, as some of the sources might be completely inaccurate. This could actually make people worse off, especially when it comes to masking at night. Who said this was a general rule? How did you come...

    Looking forward to it, @Nick47 👍 I signed up a long time ago, and I encourage everyone who’s curious about Auricle, the technology, and the people behind it to sign up as well.

    Sound Annoyance and Worse Tinnitus After Out in a Loud Venue (Measured at 97 dB) for One Hour

    Yes, I completely agree with the idea that many cases transition over time from being ear-based to more centralized, including my own after the worsening I experienced in 2019. It’s great to hear about your work with Tinnitus Quest. They’re on such an important mission. I’ve been in touch...

    Sound Annoyance and Worse Tinnitus After Out in a Loud Venue (Measured at 97 dB) for One Hour

    I won’t deny that it’s difficult to navigate these setbacks, Nick. It’s mentally draining when they happen and while you’re in the middle of them. Feeling lonely with it, even around friends and family, certainly doesn’t make it easier. We both know there’s no way to truly understand this...

    How a Furnace Gave Me Severe Tinnitus and What the Last 7 Months Have Been Like

    I agree about the comfort and positivity that come from reading success stories. Whatever supports healing is worthwhile. But many answers generated by AI bots are not always accurate. As a helpful tool, I’d say it’s perfectly fine to use. However, the part you mentioned about these symptoms...

    Worsening Tinnitus and Withdrawal Symptoms After Quitting Mirtazapine

    To my personal knowledge, no. It’s actually very common for many people with bothersome tinnitus to experience the sensations you describe, along with Eustachian tube dysfunction. I’ve had this too during several periods. It’s much better these days.

    How a Furnace Gave Me Severe Tinnitus and What the Last 7 Months Have Been Like

    I’m glad you’re doing better, great to hear! Fingers crossed it stays that way. I believe, however, that you rely too much on ChatGPT. It also collects answers from many unreliable sources online, so using it as guidance for everything won’t necessarily give you precise answers. Are muscles...

    Sound Annoyance and Worse Tinnitus After Out in a Loud Venue (Measured at 97 dB) for One Hour

    Sorry to hear about your recent accident @Nick47. I know that “back to square one” feeling — everything coming back with full force. At least it feels and seems that way. It’s often especially difficult to deal with when you replay the situation over and over, wondering why on earth you did it...

    Struggling with Noxacusis After Head Injury: Pain, Fear, and Unsure Where to Go or What to Do

    Since you’ve had a head injury, I suspect that vestibular and vertigo issues might be the main cause here. If these problems are properly examined and treated, you might see significant improvement in your other symptoms. You should seek help from an experienced neurochiropractor, preferably...

    Struggling with Noxacusis After Head Injury: Pain, Fear, and Unsure Where to Go or What to Do

    Sorry to hear about your struggles. You should see a specialist as soon as possible. You mentioned that it all started after a head injury. I assume you’ve had an MRI of your head and possibly your neck? What other symptoms have you experienced since then?

    Great to hear @weehiru Nothing's better than that 😊 A year is not a long time with this though, and hopefully you'll be able to improve the tolerance so that you can tolerate sound levels above 70db+. Wasn't my intention to throw around with unnecessary comments, sorry if it bugged you. All the...

    I hear you, but it is what it is. You won't get the answers needed, and you certainly won't feel any better, by asking yourself these questions (in frustration and agony) over and over again. There is no point in comparing yourself with others. It is human to do so, I know, but its possible to...

    How a Furnace Gave Me Severe Tinnitus and What the Last 7 Months Have Been Like

    Awful attitude by this guy. I’m sure, though, that it will calm down eventually. I’ve mentioned this in numerous posts on Tinnitus Talk before: healing of chronic or bothersome tinnitus is not linear, and it never will be. There will be ups and downs, spikes and setbacks. There will be tears...
