How Does Tinnitus Impact Your Relationship?
Apart from not living in an overly noisy area (although the garden is still a risk, with the neighbors seemingly always having some kind of work done), and the fact that I do not currently have to work, I am in exactly the same mental and reclusive boat. I do not enjoy anything anymore, and I... -

How Does Tinnitus Impact Your Relationship?
I don't think @Danny Boy is going to be too concerned with dating these days... https://www.tinnitustalk.com/threads/danny-boy-memorial-fund-in-loving-memory-of-danny-boy.30298/ As for my opinion on the matter, yes, but depression is likely the biggest obstacle; home-bound people with chronic... -

Can the tinnitus either shut up or can I please have a brain aneurysm and end this cleanly... Is that too much to ask.- Scruffiey

Rinri Therapeutics
I understand the idea, but my point is that I think it is more for emergency treatment. I do not think a doctor would provide it just for an everyday setback, especially as it requires an intratympanic injection. I think it will be reserved for major events, such as explosions or sudden...- Scruffiey

I agree, modern life has gotten loud. I am currently in a place that was once out of the way, yet ten years later, noise seems to be encroaching on it. I am now just waiting for the added traffic those golden arches will bring. But that was not my point. I was just saying AC102 is not for...- Scruffiey

AC102 is for acute hearing loss, not chronic. It does not generate hair cells, but instead works to protect against and reverse the effects of immediate damage. From further reading, I do not think any of the treatments that attempt to use support cells to transdifferentiate into hair...- Scruffiey

How long had you been suffering when you went on the benzo's? Unless you were years in already, given some extra time after the benzo's to settle, things might gradually improve after and you could get a good bit of your life back... You said yourself you've noticed an improvement in the nox...- Scruffiey

Tinnitus tones come and go, a week definitely doesn't mean permanent, even 6 months doesn't. You're still withdrawing, right? I think you'll just have to expect a bumpy ride until you're through the other side and then give it some time for things to settle to base line. Might even find it's...- Scruffiey

Sudden Hearing Loss, Tinnitus Shifts, and Strange Ear Sensations: A Relapse or Something New?
Today, my right ear has decided to add to my fragile mental state by beginning to lose hearing beyond what my audiogram showed just a fortnight ago. So long, hyperacusis, I guess. It feels much like the moderate hearing loss I experienced before my tinnitus began, which I had assumed was just a... -

Hopefully I will see you there! Can anyone truly be sure whether their hearing damage is due to hair cells or nerves? It is almost always likely to be a combination of both. The clinical trial requirements might focus only on age-related or degenerative disease hearing loss in an attempt to...- Scruffiey

Why do you torment me loud dial tone frequency, the times you are gone I cope so much better and then you bring physical sensations to make yourself known.- Scruffiey

Desperate for Help: My Son’s Severe Tinnitus Flare After Concert Exposure
I’m so sorry to hear about your son, Linda. This is a truly cruel condition that takes so much. Is he currently taking any medication to cope with it? Some medications are known to make it worse, which can be a difficult balance to manage given how distressing tinnitus can be. There are a... -

@kingsfan Wish I had a life to go back to! Spent the last 5 years as a carer and I lost the life I had before then. Throw in some fairly nasty tinnitus, a pinch of hyperacusis and a host of weird physical sensations with a life time of anxiety, depression and aural abuse and I think I AM one of...- Scruffiey

Does the Cause of Tinnitus Influence Its Severity, Impact, or Progression?
Interesting… I suppose I ask because I’ve been trying to figure out my tinnitus. I went to several concerts when I was younger and never experienced even a hint of it. Years ago, I was exposed to a small explosion, probably similar to a gunshot. I recovered quickly, with only about 30 seconds...
