    Introducing Tinnitus Quest

    I’ve been sharing this around and have asked a few people with some social reach to help, but I’ve noticed it is actually quite difficult to find on the main Tinnitus Quest webpage. It would be really great if we could raise that last $5,000 with a strong final push.

    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...

    Structural Brain Pattern Abnormalities in Tinnitus with and without Hearing Loss

    So, what is the takeaway from this for us as patients? Does it open up any potential new avenues?

    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.

    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...

    Rinri Therapeutics

    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...

    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...

    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...

    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...

    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...

    Rinri Therapeutics

    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...

    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.

    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...
