    Suicidal

    I was in the same position as you, struggling to find employment as a web designer and digital marketer. Nobody would hire me, so I did the only thing I could: I started my own business. This happened around the same time my tinnitus started, about a year ago. It was a challenging year, but...

    New University of Michigan Tinnitus Discovery — Signal Timing

    On the other hand, we don't know for sure that it wasn't submitted to the FDA a while ago, possibly even last year. But I agree that preparing for the worst-case scenario is not a bad idea.

    A year ago it was. The longer this drags out, the more it becomes something of a worry.

    3-Month Tinnitus Anniversary After a Loud Concert

    That's not exactly true. In my case, my tinnitus slowly got worse for 9 months before I started to see improvements. The OP is barely 4 months in; they still have a lot of hope. Most success stories improve at the 6-month mark and also at the 1-year mark. There are plenty of success stories of...

    Considering standard inflation and the fact that the Auricle device claims to be an improvement over Lenire's product, I think it will be closer to the $4-5k range. I doubt insurance will touch it. The bigger question is if they plan on having some return or buyback policy for those. It...

    New University of Michigan Tinnitus Discovery — Signal Timing

    There's a very good chance it's already been submitted and is under FDA review as we speak. It just makes too much sense when considering the timeline of events. Which would give us an announcement anytime over the second half of 2024. Wouldn't that be nice?

    Tinnitus After Ear Syringing

    Mine is very similar: long stretches of quiet to mild days, occasional days of loud spikes. We don't know if it will go away forever. Mine got worse through nine months, but over the last three months, my loud days have become fewer and fewer for me. Maybe it's on the outs, but every loud spike...

    I’ve Managed to Quieten Down My Tinnitus After 20 Years

    This is your best friend. It also comes in handy when the landscaper is outside, when one of my neighbors fires up their motorcycle, or when a helicopter is circling overhead.

    Tinnitus from Loud Indoor Metal Concert — I Forgot My Earplugs

    My ENT uses a device to scoop out the earwax. No suction or anything like that. Personally, I wouldn't do anything like that myself, but whatever suits you. When I have trouble sleeping, I take a generic version of Unisom. It puts me to sleep in about an hour and doesn't affect my ringing at...

    It's possible it's under FDA review as we speak. It's possible it isn't. If we don't hear something by the end of this year, then it's probably time to worry.

    The most interesting part of the study is the placebo group, which consisted of test subjects who experienced a perceived reduction in tinnitus volume simply because they believed they would. That should say something about the power of the mind. Temporary or not.

    This is great. Annoying can vary, what would you say your baseline is between 1-10? And does it...

    This is great. Annoying can vary, what would you say your baseline is between 1-10? And does it spike to louder volumes?

    There's one way to find out.. But is caffeine absolutely necessary before you workout?

    Honestly, I have molded ear plugs and I still wouldn't go near any band.
