I’m back and so is the much dreaded low-frequency drone. It was sort of stable for almost a year and 6 weeks ago it came back with vengeance. I remember that afternoon there was a car idling nearby and I know that could trigger it but for a year I had no reactions so I didn’t move. Stupid...

I’m really not sure which way is better but I guess drinking water would be much quicker to dilute it and flush out. IV will keep you hydrated but it can’t have the same effect as drinking water on something you digested. When I had oral contrast put through the tube, I had first X-ray shortly...

@quietatnight, I’m not sure what was the IV contrast I got but I took a photo of the oral solution as I had to consult Dr Google for safety ;) Also glad to see you are getting better.

For all of you who question Liam’s good intentions, he now EVEN offers private Zoom sessions at $250/hour to help anyone who needs further support. If that doesn’t scream “genuinely wanting to help,” nothing will ;)

It doesn’t stop, it’s only masked temporarily by other low frequency sounds.

No I didn’t drink any water. I was in hospital for bowel obstruction so I had a tube shoved down my nose and throat to release abdominal pressure. So no drinking or food, just IV fluids which were set to 100 ml per hour. I remember 3 years ago a bit of pulsatile tinnitus after the same contrast...

24/7 for over 10 years now... any machine would be long dead but my brain is still going on strong :)

Stay strong girl! You will be fine again. I remember your story from years ago, you’ve been through some tough times.

I had an abdominal CT with IV and oral contrast in August and it spiked me only temporarily, for a few weeks. It will settle down. So far I've only heard of temporary spikes from the contrast dye. Try not to stress too much, you will be fine!

Greg thank you very much for your message and the trouble you went to to contact your friend for me. Big thank you to him too. It’s really appreciated. @Ed209 was the first to bring to my attention the effects of low frequency noise and infrasound, just after my workplace acoustic trauma, in...

Greg, is the 6 months timeframe related to my particular case or is it a general rule/finding by the sound engineer? I have just read a few of his studies and I can’t believe that so much is actually known about sound and its effect on our health yet nothing seems to be done. Studies dating...

Greg, thank you very much for your reply. I wanted to ask you about Botox injections and if there is a concern with them for tinnitus. I will need them done abdominally to prepare the abdomen for hernia to go back in. I was told if they would just do it as is it would push onto my diaphragm and...

Ed, yes I remember very well your message about infrasound. Whatever happened on that day at work has not left me, I’m still to this day ultra sensitive to aircon and any low frequency sounds. Prior to that day aircon noise was a great masker for my drone tinnitus. I’m just dead worried if...

I agree with you! While they have a purpose I don’t understand who in the right frame of mind “approves” such a loud unit as acceptable especially in a hospital setting where you can’t get away from it. And with winter here in Australia, why on earth it’s running full bore 24/7? So you think...

Deb, I honestly don’t even want to remember the horrible horrible times I had with the drone back in 2018 -2020! I have no idea how I survived that hell. It was only lately that this drone from hell settled down just enough not to feel suicidal every day but a few times a week. Now I’m back to...
