    Share Your Coronavirus (COVID-19) Vaccine Experience: Any Impact on Your Tinnitus or Hyperacusis?

    Just came back to share my experience. I got my Pfizer shot #2 over a week ago and no changes to tinnitus. Considering what COVID-19 can do, I think it’s really important to get vaccinated, as it is well known to increase tinnitus and create tinnitus for some. I know it’s scary, but remember a...

    Share Your Coronavirus (COVID-19) Vaccine Experience: Any Impact on Your Tinnitus or Hyperacusis?

    I had my first dose of Pfizer 3 weeks ago. No change in tinnitus, only a sore arm. My thoughts are the chances of COVID-19 spiking your tinnitus are much higher, and lots of people got tinnitus from COVID-19. Stress and fear is a powerful thing, so I recommend just staying calm when you get...

    Tinnitus Masking: Bone Conduction Headphones (e.g., Aftershokz) — Share Your Experience

    So, I do not believe that headphones will make tinnitus worse (it's more how loud you use them), but now that I have gone 6 months without them, I really like being able to hear my environment (noises drown out my tinnitus). I found headphones that play through your cheekbone as opposed to...

    Headaches, Temple Pressure, Neck and Face Pain, Eye Floaters — Due to Stress?

    Thank you both! Yeah I figured it so because I went through this when my tinnitus started. Tight face muscles and neck pain, and all that jazz. Now that I have a good grasp on my tinnitus, the eye floaters are giving me grief. I will learn to meditate through this, and I already took advantage...

    Headaches, Temple Pressure, Neck and Face Pain, Eye Floaters — Due to Stress?

    I have actually nearly habituated to my tinnitus as of late, to a stage where it no longer affects me emotionally. It is much more in the background, and life has become normal again for a while. Recently however, I have been stressed, and now I have constant headaches, temple pressure, neck...

    Tinnitus Research Initiative (TRI) 2019 Conference

    Yeah! And I actually visit VBC often (it's about a 6 hour drive from me), so I mean in 2020 I would also most likely be interested since I am usually there anyway for vacation. I'll keep in touch about this in the future!

    Lenire — Bimodal Stimulation Treatment by Neuromod

    It is. What was said by @ageoflove is incorrect. Tonal tinnitus is a constant streamline sound. I would say static TV buzzing is that. Atonal would be multiple at once. HOWEVER, it was said tonal and atonal are ok. Atonal was just an exclusion at first.

    Lenire — Bimodal Stimulation Treatment by Neuromod

    Mixed results? The TENT-A2 trial is showing positive correlation from their initial arms. And what makes you think they have not been upfront? My God, isn't the video enough evidence that they are showing positive results? Do you need Ross O'Neill to come to your house and tell you in person...

    Lenire — Bimodal Stimulation Treatment by Neuromod

    I mean, how can you not have restored faith after that video. Even if it doesn't work for you, look at the care, time, and effort put into the science here. The tinnitus research field has exploded recently, and this device could usher in a slew of other companies wanting in on the pie. Hope is...

    What podcast? The one with Richard Tyler that isn't out yet?

    I would also like to interject and say that, although Neuromod has been relatively quiet as of late, remember that they are hard at work with this technology and we will most likely see something soon. For so many years no one has been open about trying to fix this problem, and now we have...

    Ideas and Suggestions for Future Episodes

    First off, I am truly thankful for your work as well as @Jack Straw and @Markku. The podcast is so well done, and really is a pleasure to listen to. Given the triumph we had over at STAT, I wonder if you guys have already recorded the Richard Tyler episode? Given the technology relationship...
