    Airplane Noise Very Early in the Morning — Can You Get Used to It?

    Not sure why, but I am noticing more the airplanes taking off at 4am from an airport about 10 miles away. They have been waking me up for the past week. Before that, I barely heard them. I would hear them occasionally during the day but not at 4am. Anyone here have this kind of experience? Do...

    Does the Shower or Shower Fan Make Anyone's Tinnitus Louder?

    I'm the same way. After taking a shower, most of the time, my T is very quiet for about an hour. I am guessing that the high pitched sounds of the water echoing in the shower might be helping to fill in the high pitch sounds I can hear less of??

    Watch "Derren Brown: Miracle" on Netflix

    It is on Netflix. There will be a part where you might understand why I am suggesting you watch this. It was amazing. I can't say more because I don't want to give it away, but believe me, it is relevant to those on this forum. Be patient, it will take a while.

    Suicidal

    I find that sleep is key. You might ask yourself, how can I sleep if I have this ringing in my ears. Well, get some medication to help. Turn on some music or a talk show (I find talk shows easier to sleep to since it distracts my mind better than predictable sound waves. And, it's like you are...

    Pregabalin (Lyrica)

    Looking back now, I am thinking that Lyrica actually might be the cause of my hearing loss which has brought about my T. I'm 48 and I have been told that is too young usually for natural hearing loss. The only thing that I could think of that might have attributed to it is taking this drug. I...

    Has Anyone Found Lyrica (Pregabalin) to Cause Hearing Loss Leading to Tinnitus?

    I've been thinking back before the time I was diagnosed with mild hearing loss. They say it could be age related, but I am "only" 48. I remember taking 75 mg a day of Lyrica. I've read the official side effects, but I cannot find hearing loss as one of them. However, it seems like there is a...

    Pregabalin (Lyrica)

    In my experience, the max I took was 75mg a day and it just "numbs" you and worse it make me very confused.

    Ripoff, Snake Oil: Ian McCall's Tinnitus Remedy — 10-day 'Miracle Cure for Tinnitus'...

    Thanks. I see there is an Upsell as well, meaning they have other products to sell you along the way after you buy their first product. It did sound quite dubious when they start off saying something like this video might be taken down by the big pharma companies and you have to listen all the...

    Potential Scam, Snake Oil: TinAway

    Well, just because it was set up that way, it doesn't mean they HAVE to keep the money. What will they use it for? Not very clear and it does make it seem like they are a scam.

    Does Mild Hearing Loss "Feel Like" Your Ears Are Clogged?

    I've been told I have mild hearing loss in both ears, with the left one a bit worse. In addition to tinnitus, I feel like my left ear is a bit "clogged". Is this a symptom of hearing loss or something else? Just curious what other have experienced. Also, if it is not related to hearing loss...

    Inner Ear Hair Cell Regeneration — Maybe We Can Know More

    I am hopeful! Just a small joke....I can see it now..."Hi, I'm Tony, and not only am I a customer of the inner hair club for men, I am also the president!" We then see photos of before the inner ear started to bald and then after the hair plugs! Tony
