Showers used to always spike my tinnitus. This went on for a long period of time. I don't think it had anything to do with the sound of the shower. It simply seemed to be my brain reacting to an outside stimulus. Think about it, the water hits you and your nerves get enervated and hence the...

Your parents most likely have "Narcissistic Personality Disorder". People who suffer from this mental disorder almost universally deny they have a problem and refuse therapy. Even the suggestion that they have a mental issue that needs addressing will cause them to freak out in spasms of...

Meditation and relaxation exercises. Give up caffeine. Take some magnesium. Beer/wine/bourbon in moderation. Shampoo, rinse, repeat.

Been there -- I know how horrible the "clank" of cutlery can be. Or even the "swish" of water coming out of the tap at the sink. Others simply can't comprehend the pain we feel from hyperaccussis. It's worse than tinnitus. I think a lot of it is tied into our reactionary "fight or flight"...

Magnesium doesn't affect the level of my tinnitus at all, but it's great stuff for relaxing muscles and combating anxiety I have found. Love the stuff. (y)

I've taken it short-term when things were at their worst. I believe it helped a lot by giving me some much needed sleep. I found the full dose to be too much so I only took half and that worked well for me. I was careful not to let it become a crutch to the point of dependence though and am...

Daredevil on Netflix is amazing! Great writing. Great production. Great choreography for fight scenes. Definitely a hidden gem as action/adventure goes. Netflix also has really good subtitles which makes watching so much better for someone like me who has hearing issues.

I know you said the test was negative for ETD but did the audiology test show any hearing loss? As for not being strong enough to deal with this, of course you are strong enough. You're just going through the anxiety and depression phase of this malady. We've all gone through it. It feels...

I went to a spate of David Bowie tribute concerts last Fall, used basic foam ear plugs that I bought at a corner store and I was fine. -- And these concerts were loud, but the cheap foam plugs worked great and I had no problems afterwards. I know this is a subjective experience and everyone...

Sure, prednisone doesn't cause visual snow but it does cause excruciating anxiety in a number of people. This crippling anxiety can last for months following a course of prednisone. Believe me, I know first hand. Turns out I'm highly allergic to the stuff. I learned the hard way just how...

I wouldn't think the supplements are responsible for the eye problems. In fact, zinc and NAC are supposedly good for the eyes. (I'm not including prednisone in this equation as it's a medication, not a supplement.) I see that you are taking C and B but what about vitamin D (and to a lesser...

Your theory of Vagus nerve stimulation is not crazy. It's a great method for helping to calm the anxiety that accompanies tinnitus. Meditation, and breathing exercises in particular, have done much to help quell the "synaptic storm" going on in my brain thanks to tinnitus. And these exercises...

At this point the question isn't whether stress causes tinnitus but rather, how you are going to deal with that stress in the here and now. For me the answer was to learn relaxation and meditation techniques. Seriously, it has helped immensely.

I can't say for certain as every supplement differs when it comes to ingredients, fillers, binders, etc. I did find a link that says you should have about 617 mgs of glycine (or more) with 200 mg Mag. The link explains it better...
