@Viridiana that helps, for sure!

@Juliane thank you, Juliane. Hope if the T isn't improving that your tolerance is. My tolerance has been good again the past week.

@SarahMLFlemmer, i believe the difference is pain. Hyperacusis is everything being loud and some sounds uncomfortable. And Nox is feeling pain from sounds that usually wouldn't cauae pain in others. I might be qrong though lol.

I used Xanax everyday to get me out of panic mode for 3 weeks straight. I don't want to take medication if I don't have to, and I'm already taking some for sleep.

I quit taking trazadone for anxiety, but I feel like I need something for it. I’m just scared because it seems like everything makes mine worse. I have also cut way back on smoking only a few cigs a day, so that is hard for me also. Sarah Xanax didn’t make your tinnitus worse? Is that a benzodiazepine?

@SharonBell I don't think it made it worse. I really don't know. All I know is I was struggling very badly when it all began and I needed to do something to get better.

@Joe Cuber constant head noise and electric zaps in my ears. I have a build up of mucous in my middle ear spaces and tubes in. After the mucous comes out they want to remove the tubes and patch up my ear drums so my hearing goes back to normal and the T calms down but who knows if it will ever go… I’m hoping for the Susan Shore device.

@Joe Cuber I have no idea where my T is from since I have a conductive hearing loss on an audiogram and CT scan shows the mucous. The tubes also are most likely not helping the T at all but have to have them in for this fluid to drain.

@Joe Cuber I sleep fine now but didn’t at the beginning. I’d rather sleep since it reminds me of death.

I have to do that too, even though I hate doing it, but I have to sleep. -.-

I think so!

I went to the Tinnitus clinic and they do a high frequency test up to 20,000. They said, my right ear was severe-profound ultra high frequency hearing loss @ 10,000 and up and left ear was mild at 16k. They said, I have sensorineural hearing loss and tinnitus. Sensorineural tinnitus results from damage ti hair cells.

HearingHell yeah I hear very good. My hearing is in the ultra high frequency which we really don’t use. Not sure if I could use it if it has to go in or on my ear. I can’t wear earplugs they will make my head sizzle and that might also, but I might would give it a chance if it really works.

@SharonBell they also said I had mild hearing loss at 16k but I think that happens as you age anyways?? She also said she tested my ear hairs and they were fine??

@cjbhab well you can't obtain or have the masters tuned properly without a audiologist selling it to you. Maybe prescription isn't the right word, but in a way you can't just ask for it.

@SarahMLFlemmer are you considering using them?

@Tryn2BHopeful i don’t think it will be hard to get an audiologist to take your money, just tell them what you want. most places will give you a trial pair for free.

Everything is "normal" except ultra high frequency hearing loss at 16kHz.

@SarahMLFlemmer your T is very high pitched then I imagine

@Tryn2BHopeful Yes, I is. Probably 16kHz, just like what I "can't hear."

Good luck!

Good luck. Can’t wait to get an update.

Good luck!!

@SarahMLFlemmer - I’m giving it everything I got but I often feel like I am hanging on by a very very thin string. Everyone tells me … always hang on to hope for a better day.

@SarahMLFlemmer, I hope you can get to a better place. I fall asleep a lot. I’m worst when I wake up…just left ear. I tried taking Tylenol extra strength rapid relief gelgaps again and seem good as long as I don’t nap. You are so young to get this nasty affliction.

No easy answers... sorry.. am just trying to go day by.. for me, it helps that at least i have good night's rest nowadays. During the day... trying to go easy.. it's pffft.. but the believe things can get better.. trying to do things which you enjoy & are healthy.. and just sometimes distractions (for me that's gaming).. go easy on yourself, hug

I can't help but feel like there must be something that we can do to resolve this.

@Utdmad89 you would think, huh? This is inbearable.

What @L along the way said. Sleep and the daily long shower. (Water conservation be damned! Lol) take each day in stride.

@L along the way and @BrOKeN_1 I hear you and I thank you.

I'm sorry :( It feels like I'm running (more like crawling) on two hp

@Kain Your prayers are carrying me through! Thank you, Jesus!

My dad passed away on Wednesday. The grief and sorrow is indescribable. I know how much T hurts but I also know how painful it is when your parents are no longer able to be your anchor. Please, your children need you and they will need you for many years to come. My T may go away but I will never get my dad back.

@Anomalous I am sorry to hear about your Dad. =(

@Joshua Macleod I am sorry for you too.

My goodness. This is crazy. :(

@4Grace it's too much.

@Juliane thank you so much! You are strong too, my friend.

@SarahMLFlemmer - I’d like to second that motion from @Juliane

@4Grace you guys are too kind. Hard day today.

@SarahMLFlemmer I admire your positivity and faith in God. I really do. You deal with so much. It’s awesome that you can keep doing things. Do you think exposure to sound causes any of your ear pain or burning for you?

@4Grace I push myself everyday. God is good as to keep me from falling back into depression over this. It's hard, but we keep going. Exposure to loud sounds may be contributing to my ear pain, I wouldn't know cause I haven't tried to stay away from sound.

@4Grace I've been around loud noise and suffered no consequences. But I have had H yesterday and today, with no known cause so IDK anything. I just try to live as normal as possible with as many rest breaks as I need in between.

Same <3

I hope you are doing well despite the T!

@Tryn2BHopeful despite the T and all that goes with it, life is good. ❤️ How are you?

It's still loud during the day, but hopefully I am habituating...

And YOU ARE NEVER BOTHERING ME! ❤️

You seem to be heading in the right direction! If others before us have done it, we can too!

I'm curious, what made them want to try this garlic trick?

@Marina Moon her friend told her to try it, some kinda Mexican wives tale I think her husband told me. Unfortunately, her T is back though now.

@SarahMLFlemmer In one sense, garlic does have medicinal properties and has been used in traditional medicine for hundreds of years. It would be awesome if it did work in this specific case :(

Thanks!

How do I find him?

Dana White had Tinnitus. Gary Brecka talks to Joe Rogan about working with Dana White.

I watched some episode on YouTube. He's pretty much talking about nutrient deficiency. Not sure my western med doc would know what to test for and my Naturo doc I'm not sure I trust anymore either, plus she can't do online calls only. What do you suggest?

I thought Dana white has meniere's not tinnitus?

@Anthony2019 Hi!

This is in response to my "Neurotec" post, right?

What was the treatment?
