    In Loving Memory of Padraigh Griffin

    So incredibly sad to read this. My thoughts are with his wife and little boys. As many are saying on here, it is beyond frustrating that in 2022 we don’t have effective treatments for this dreadful life-altering condition. People have their own personal limitations that they reach and dear...

    Tinnitus Absolutely Does Get Better — Most People Just Don't Come Back to Tell About It!

    I’ve had tinnitus since 2002 - there are ups and downs. To be honest with you, getting older with tinnitus, I’ve found it to be worse than what it was 20 years ago. Changing hormones and neck issues may not be helping but am not 100% sure on that. Yes, it can ‘get better’ for some but for...

    My Tinnitus Has Significantly Changed in Character in the Past Weeks

    Given your tinnitus has just started in recent times - might it be due to the COVID-19 vaccinations? Tinnitus is a side effect and it’s not a ‘rare’ one.

    HRT (Hormone Replacement Therapy for Menopause) and Tinnitus

    Our age and hormones changing may be the cause of our worse tinnitus in recent times. It’s very frustrating - so many things can affect tinnitus! It’s like walking on egg shells.

    HRT (Hormone Replacement Therapy for Menopause) and Tinnitus

    This thread has been enlightening for me. I’m 49 years old and perimenopausal. My tinnitus has gotten worse this year and I’m now curious as to whether these hormonal changes may be the causation. I might go and get some blood tests done and also will check my B12 levels. My neck has a slight...

    Suicidal

    Friends, I am a 49-year-old woman who has lived with this condition for 20 years. It appeared to fire up after taking just a few antidepressants. Since then I have been incredibly gun shy taking any medications and also steered well clear of the COVID-19 "vaxx's" which I have no regrets about. I...

    My Experience with Manual Ear Wax Removal — A Temporary Tinnitus Spike

    I've had tinnitus for 2 decades - I'm in my late 40s now. It has changed my life and I still wait patiently for effective treatments to actually get rid of the noise. Anyway, from time to time I have an audiologist gently and quietly manually remove ear wax. Four weeks ago I had this done and...

    Will You Get Vaccinated for Coronavirus (COVID-19)? Can It Make Tinnitus or Hyperacusis Worse?

    The various Omicron variants circulating currently do not infect lung tissue like the original Wuhan strains / Delta did. It is upper respiratory - we aren’t dealing with the same situation now. The vaccines aren’t terribly effective anymore as they haven’t kept up. It appears the vaxed are the...

    Will You Get Vaccinated for Coronavirus (COVID-19)? Can It Make Tinnitus or Hyperacusis Worse?

    1%??? Not sure where you get that data from but common sense would even tell you it’s far more than that.

    Will You Get Vaccinated for Coronavirus (COVID-19)? Can It Make Tinnitus or Hyperacusis Worse?

    We are now seeing the damage these injections are doing to so many people as time moves along. Tinnitus is a known and common side effect particularly with the mRNA ones. Heart inflammation problems too. It’s everywhere but main stream media aren’t allowed to highlight this. Independent media...

    Will You Get Vaccinated for Coronavirus (COVID-19)? Can It Make Tinnitus or Hyperacusis Worse?

    What’s the word about the Novavax shot? Anyone taken it on here?

    Will You Get Vaccinated for Coronavirus (COVID-19)? Can It Make Tinnitus or Hyperacusis Worse?

    If you’ve had COVID-19, you will have a natural immunity - that’s what I am reading and that’s the best immunity there is. This mRNA stuff is risky - I reckon people will suffer long term with this in their bodies.

    Will You Get Vaccinated for Coronavirus (COVID-19)? Can It Make Tinnitus or Hyperacusis Worse?

    It’s a classic example of being caught between a rock and a hard place.

    Will You Get Vaccinated for Coronavirus (COVID-19)? Can It Make Tinnitus or Hyperacusis Worse?

    Believe it or not, I’d rather take my chances going about my life unvaccinated than risk any negative auditory changes. I believe my tinnitus journey started 19 years ago from taking just a few antidepressants - static. It has gotten worse over time probably due to the normal aging process. I...

    Will You Get Vaccinated for Coronavirus (COVID-19)? Can It Make Tinnitus or Hyperacusis Worse?

    I’ll opt out of any vaccine for this year at least - given we don’t have 1 to 5 year safety data for any of these vaccines I’m not at all confident at this time.
