As some of you might know, I’ve had tinnitus for a year and a half now, and I’ve been overprotecting for at least a year. At first, wearing hearing protection most of the time really helped me, and my tinnitus improved a lot. But now I feel like I should start removing them gradually. I miss not...

This happens to me all the time. My tinnitus has never gotten worse because of it. Rarely, I experience some brief tinnitus, but that might happen only once or twice a year, even though I bump my earmuffs daily.

In one month I made great progress! I'm able to go out with just my ear muffs, and not double protection, again. Most every day noises are tolerable again. It's still not great, but it's progress. My tinnitus however is still pretty reactive and can get VERY loud after just simple conversations...

5 to 10 years IF things go well, of course, because it might also never happen 😉 Apparently it is. Although, given the very small number of participants, it might be considered an early Phase 2 or Phase 2a.

It depends. Usually, it does not change much. If I take a full nap cycle of about one to one and a half hours, it quiets down. If I nap for 40 minutes to an hour, there is no change. If I nap for less than that, it does get worse temporarily, but I avoid such short naps because I feel too tired...

I’m the exact opposite. My tinnitus is very quiet when I wake up, but it gets louder as the day goes on.

It might mean that, although more trials will certainly be needed. Ten participants with one adverse effect is not very strong evidence. More importantly, it opens the door for further research in two areas: The involvement of the GABA pathway in tinnitus The development of neurosteroids as...

I’m looking forward to the publication, and that seems like good news!

In need of a bit of advice : I'm weening off hearing protection at home, my hyperacusis is really settling down, but my tinnitus is getting worse. It gets so loud by just having simple conversations although it does not hurt my ears

Yeah, I get it. I had that a lot too. Now I’ve accepted that it’s not going away, so I might as well live my life again. It’s hard to say because my tinnitus is not constant. I have five or six different tones, and they all come and go. The volume also changes, sometimes it’s very loud, and...

I know you’ve had this condition for a while, and that you know yourself better than anyone. But is there even the slightest chance that the radiating pain comes from clenching your jaw due to the stress that sounds cause?

I got tinnitus about 1.5 years ago, and I started seeing the first signs of improvement after beginning Clonazepam, following 10 months of pure hell with loud tinnitus. Now, at 1.5 years, I still have it, but I have a lot of hope for the future, and it doesn’t bother me nearly as much anymore. I...
