Hello All, I usually post tinnitus updates in my other thread about my circumstances, My Quasi Diary, but I realize this place is probably more suitable. To summarize my scattered thoughts over the years: I have had tinnitus for nearly five years. My right ear produces a tonal sound, while my...

Hello All, Here’s an update in this quasi-diary of sorts. Once again, my periods of absence from the forum are not out of ill will but rather a result of trying to leave a troubled past behind. Incidentally, I believe that’s the ultimate goal for anyone with trauma: to forget the circumstances...

Hello there, @RunningMan. I do use custom earplugs when I'm out and about, and as I say, I avoid loud places. However, I do know my soul; I do know myself. The most risk-averse approach would be to isolate 100% of the time. But I wonder if that's a life worth living for the rest of my long...

Interesting. I'm on Taurine and Magnesium myself, but that's more to build hearing protection. I might experiment with this. Thanks for sharing.

Hello, everyone (if anyone is even reading this). A minor update since June 2023 (time flies!). I've been trying to stay off Tinnitus Talk for recovery reasons. It's nothing personal, but I seem to get stuck reading the suicidal threads, which ultimately makes me worse. Things have been...

Going to try taurine, for the GAINS but apparently good for ears too...

I'm afraid you've got to ride it out, Ernie. We've all been there and it sucks. However, just look after yourself and it should pass. Have hope. If you are in the US, getting Prednisolone isn't a bad idea, however some people find it makes their tinnitus worse. If you have used Prednisolone...

I still play acoustic guitar and sing, and I'm actually not too bad if I say so myself. Suck on that, tinnitus!

I've been dealing with hissing and static in my left ear for 3 years now. I did experience brain fog badly for the first year but over time it went away. I did Lenire, which made it worse (bastards). I'm habituated to mine, but there are days where it bothers me or where it gets too much. I...

Hi Everyone, So I am generally a strange tinnitus case, I have somatic tinnitus in my left ear (a 3-4/10 usually) and I have non-somatic, or tonal tinnitus in my right ear (usually a 2-3/10). However, I am a big believer in us trying to enjoy our lives even with this condition, whilst trying...
