They are just bitter. You don’t have to apologize because your suffering—or in this case, lack thereof—is just as valid as someone who developed it suddenly. You are simply used to it. That’s the big difference. You have what they do not. Tinnitus doesn’t need a “pity Olympics.” It’s...

That would explain why my ears felt off during the first month. I can “rumble” my ears, and I think I use that same muscle to pop or click them, though it is probably not the same muscle. Some days I would have sharp pain, aching, and other discomfort. I just assumed it was from clenching my...

Thanks for the reply. I have actually been thinking about trying magnesium. It has been suggested a few times around the web. I do not think I would enjoy tea too much. I am a staunch Tetley Bold kind of guy, haha. I have never heard of lemon balm, but I will look into it. Things have still...

I am surprised Clonazepam has any effect. When I tried taking it at 0.25 mg, I did not feel any different. Maybe it is because I stopped after two days since I saw no benefit. I did not take it to reduce tinnitus. I was using it to calm anxiety at the onset of tinnitus and for sleep assistance...

That is not possible. Unfortunately, it seems to be a delusion caused by something making you believe or suggest it. The phantom noise is not real. If it were, that would actually be great news for most of us. We could simply put ourselves in a Faraday cage for some relief! Haha. If you truly...

I just hope we get some evidence that a solution is on the way. I know I am new here, and many people have been hoping for this exact thing for decades, but I truly hope something is on the horizon. Thanks for the update—it was a great read, and I hope their study leads to real, positive results.

Honestly, you might need something to help you sleep, like Melatonin or something stronger. Getting back into a good sleep rhythm is important for managing it.

What change did you make to your medication?

I didn’t take anything last night, and now I’m having a horrible spike. I’m starting to doubt myself and overthink everything. Thoughts like this is permanent or I caused this myself by not taking sleep medication keep running through my head. I avoided it because I was afraid of becoming...

I understand the desperation. There probably isn't much I can suggest that you haven't already looked into. We can't control tinnitus, but we can control how we respond to it. Maybe consider looking into Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) or Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT). They're not...

I didn’t see the questionnaire, but I signed up for the treatment trial. I was curious—do you know if someone outside of the U.S. would even be eligible to participate? How do trials typically work when it comes to recruiting participants for testing?

I can't tell the age of this page but it looks like there was an update and the study results are promising. https://www.neurosoft-bio.com/tinnitus Specifically the handicap score is very impressive.

No noticeable side effects currently. I woke up, and it’s at about a 3 or 4 compared to a 6. I can still hear it all the time, but it’s not as present. The ringing is a high-pitched chirping, like a burnt-out smoke detector, although quieter. It’s so rapid-fire that it distorts constant sounds...
