    Hey Team, We're in This Together...

    Randomly logged into TT for the first time in months and saw these posts. Definitely recommend dropping the vape!! Propylene glycol is ototoxic!! (Don't trust the 'All VG' blends. Their flavors are typically mixed with PG) Where I'm at now, I suspect that the vape damaged the tissue and cilia...

    MDMA (a Component of Ecstacy) Potential for the Treatment of Tinnitus

    If you used MDMA two times in one week every once in a while I doubt there would be any major complications. If you were to use MDMA two times a week for an extended period of time, it wouldn't take long at all before significant side effects and complications would start to arise. The euphoric...

    E-Cigs and Hearing Loss

    Hey Ian, so sorry for the delay getting back to you, been a very busy couple of weeks on my end scrambling to find a new place, get a job, and get ready for my first semester at an actual university in the fall. What are you getting an MRI on? Your brain? Or maybe jaw? I got an MRI of my jaw a...

    (LLLT Efficacy) Mobilizing Mitochondria May Be Key to Regenerating Damaged Neurons, Zhou, B et. al.

    Hey @Cityjohn , absolutely thrilled to see the research and thought you are putting into LLLT. I hope this question isn't out of place, I've just seen different answers to this question on TinnitusTalk and I'm curious what your take on it is.... How long is the "window of opportunity" for...

    E-Cigs and Hearing Loss

    @Ian81 To answer your question, I've never quite pinpointed my T frequency. If I had to guess, I'd put it right around 12-14khz. Over the first couple of weeks it dropped in volume quite a bit (once I quit vaping) but it's still there. The only thing that is absolutely certain to increase my T...

    E-Cigs and Hearing Loss

    Hey Ian, NO worries whatsoever about not noticing my post above. It was over a year ago and please trust me when I say that I TOTALLY understand any kind of anxiety or stress you're currently dealing with as a result of this tinnitus. I am SO sorry you're dealing with this horrid affliction from...

    E-Cigs and Hearing Loss

    @Flyka70 @josesativa Feel free to message me about any of this. My tinnitus was also caused by vaping and I've been dealing with it for over a year now. Maybe I'm crazy, but I think there may be some value to comparing notes/things that work or don't for our unique tinnitus. @Ian81 feel free to...

    Singulair (Montelukast) — Anyone Here Use It/Have Any Experience with It?

    Hi all, just a quick question for you guys. I recently visited a Pulmonologist who diagnosed me with exercise induced asthma. Not at all surprising as I had asthma as a kid and I nearly watched my Dad die of an asthma attack skiing in Colorado a few years ago (exercise induced as well) Long...

    Does Vicodin Make Tinnitus Worse?

    I thought that was what happened, but the doctor didn't seem to think so. They gave me a syringe like contraption to flush my wounds out with that I wasn't good about using. It may have been a minor infection, but God almighty it was awful. Regardless of what I did I would wake up every two...

    Does Vicodin Make Tinnitus Worse?

    Hey @Marie79 , I can't say this with total certainty, but I don't think there is anything to worry about in regards to taking a prescribed course of Vicodin. For what it's worth, when my T was still extremely mild, I got two impacted wisdom teeth removed. In addition, my recovery was extremely...

    My Time in NYC

    What awesome news!! Congrats @Jamie m , that's so exciting! Very happy for you! In addition to that, I think this post is important simply because it shows new T sufferers that T does not have to be the end of enjoying life. Your photos are excellent, glad you had a great trip and congrats again!

    My Left Ear Is Totally Blocked Right Now

    Hey bud, totally understand your concern here, but I highly suspect that you'll be totally fine. Now that the pollen is out at its worst, I wake up with full and stuffed ears almost every morning. The two things I've found that help the best are inhaling steamy water through the nose and going...
