It has been quite some time since I had my last MRI, but the setbacks afterward never lasted more than about six weeks with proper ear protection, if I remember correctly. I actually recommend taking a small dose of Diazepam before the MRI to calm yourself. That helped me a lot. Make sure you...

Sending you prayers, Meg 🙏 A new chapter in life is about to open. None of us can predict tomorrow, and what the future holds. But if it's one thing I've learnt throughout all these years, it's that things usually turn out better than what I fear. Let us know how it goes for you and your...

No stories like these are useless. They are important for the tinnitus community. I would also like to add that even if his case was not due to sound exposure or trauma, many of the same mechanisms are at play nevertheless.

First and foremost, I am really happy to hear that everything turned out okay with your baby. 🙏 As you said, tinnitus feeds on stress itself. I can only imagine how difficult it must be for you to navigate this while being pregnant. About Treble Health, I am familiar with them through YouTube...

People can do whatever they want, @Sonia554, but complete masking at night, like you mentioned, is not something generally recommended. It’s also not advice that professionals in this field usually give their clients. Sound therapy, or whatever you prefer to call it, should not be used as a...

Just make sure you read what I actually wrote, @Escalado, and what part I didn’t agree with 😊. Anyway, there’s no point in taking over the OP’s thread any further. This is very much a trial-and-error area, @TemporaryTHope, but the general consensus among those who actually work with this is to...

You never know the plan. You never know what's going to happen. We are not even promised tomorrow. I just try to focus on one day at a time. - Morgan Wallen -

Unfortunately, when it comes to reactive tinnitus (and many forms of tinnitus, especially given the subjective component), there are no certain answers. No two people will experience it in exactly the same way. For those of us who have lived with this for quite some time, we know, at least to...

That’s why I wrote parts of what she wrote, @object16 😊 If you look at what I said, I was referring specifically to the nighttime advice where she mentioned that it’s completely fine to mask tinnitus entirely. That’s what I was talking about. This isn’t correct, and it’s not advice I’d suggest...

A great and insightful event, really well managed and executed 👏 A shoutout and a thank you to all the people behind Tinnitus Quest. Keep up the good work!

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.

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.

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...
