    Do You Really Habituate to 24/7 Tinnitus in the Years to Come?

    Sometimes I can't help but think about it. But most of the time when it's just noise i've learned to tune it out and ignore. It spikes sometimes and there are good and bad days. The worst days are when the Tinnitus isn't just noise but it's actually accompanied by some kind of physical...

    Thought I Had Gotten to a Good Place After 2 Years

    For once something good seems to have happened. I went to the Dr anyway and they irrigated my ears, said left one was pretty clogged looking. And most if not all the hearing has come back. My anxiety has been on overload for days. I am happy I wasn't suddenly losing even more of my hearing...

    Thought I Had Gotten to a Good Place After 2 Years

    Until 2 days ago I was used to my tinnitus. Things have been good aside from the ear aches on my left side (around ear and jaw) the intermittent patulous e.tube on that side. My hearing felt good, mostly even between the two. Then Friday night I noticed things sounded slightly muffled on my...

    DIY Low-Level Laser Therapy for Tinnitus on a Budget — LLLT Under 100,-

    I started shining my light on my left TMJ out of cruiosity a week or two ago after I had a really bad bout of PET when doing cardio. (It was horrible. I had to stop exercising it was so bad. Every breath was being redirected instantly into my left middle ear). Since then I have had some...

    Does Anyone Have Low-Frequency Hearing Loss and NOT Have Meniere's Disease?

    Necro, but i've got a -3 to 5 db slope starting just under 150Hz or so in my right ear compared to the left. No balance issues or anything like MD. Came on the same time as the rest of my loss.

    Frequency Therapeutics — Hearing Loss Regeneration

    I'd take this as a win personally. I'd be super happy to have my near perfect hearing back. Assymetrical hearing loss, even only 5dB at multiple frequencies to trained ears like mine, has felt like it has destroyed what i've worked nearly half my life towards.

    DIY Low-Level Laser Therapy for Tinnitus on a Budget — LLLT Under 100,-

    Yes they are both 5W. But this actually uses a 3.7V battery compared to the 1.5v battery. And it's easy to see in the last picture that the beam is much stronger and more visible compared to the weak 1.5V light. So obviously, it more than likely has much power than the smaller one due to the...

    Ginkgo Biloba

    I took Ginkgo (The EGB 761 stuff) for what felt like almost half a year. Can safely say. No difference for me.

    DIY Low-Level Laser Therapy for Tinnitus on a Budget — LLLT Under 100,-

    I am doing 3x15 min in my right ear a week. (I have that other IR-850 that isn't the Ilauke. Was using a 1.2V NiMH rechargable. Now using a 1.5v Alkaline.) I have had a few spikes 2 days after using the light two separate times.. Not sure if related. But they have been bigger spikes than...

    Has Going to the Doctor Ever Helped with Tinnitus?

    I never had the sinus issue with the air going into my ear until I got T. Everything was pretty much 100% normal before. And what's funny about that too, is that my left ear is the least problematic when it comes to T and hearing loss. All my issues are in my right ear mainly...even though my...
