Mine will drive me nuts some days and other days almost none. I have both the sound stimulated fluttering (left ear) and spontaneous thumps (right year), but not at the same time.

I would expect it to be available in multiple areas of the U.S. by then. Hopefully we will be hearing a lot of positive feedback in contrast to what happened with Lenire.

I’m hanging on by a thread for that..

Hopefully it will magically cure us all. Free us from this misery.

susan went over the results of their medical trials and explained the science of what is happening in the brain when you have T. She also answered several questions but could not discuss the timeline of the device or FDA process.

I once asked my acupuncturist that question, and she said "cardio." I don't agree that exercise takes the anger away, but it does keep my mind (and body) preoccupied enough to forget about the anger for a little while.

@ECP i do 90 mins cardio a day. it helps but i really just wanna smash something.

I imagine I'm stabbing the shit out of T when I exercise.

Most people have strong ears. Robust ears is something that is incomprehensible to me

im convinced we unfortunately got handed trash ear genes.

My ears were very strong all my life. The infection fucked I had during the trauma. My ears could take one thing at a time, but not two.

You know absolutely fuck all. Why are you even on here.

It's a tinnitus support forum dude. What else would we be talking about here? Seriously lol

@Lipshitz it actually is peaches and cream for most people. Severe T is extremely rare and most health problems are temporary. a small portion of the population is suffering . the rest are partying 24/7 with no issue.

Feel better

Don't know what world you live in but most health conditions aren't temporary, people in their 50s have one chronic health issue , 60s two chronic health issues, 70s three chronic health issues . None of this is temporary, health issues get worse over time through the normal aging process . So your comment on most issues are temporary is moronic .

@Lipshitz lol okay. i stand corrected everybody is being tormented 24/7 by medical conditions.

Ttts

@gameover except they don’t, they are just loud and annoying for no reason.

Right?! A colleague was talking nonstop and loud to me for about 15 mins. Afterwards I got a headache and flu like symptoms. So f.... rude!

Wish I had the nerve to just say "please stop talking. It is hurting my ears and my brain". What a way to make friends LOL

Because they either have robust ears or are like you and me before we developed T

Fire. I love the bacon egg and cheese McGriddle too.

I like the sausage, egg, and cheese McGriddle. Egg McMuffin & Bagel are pretty good also. I'm not a fan of the biscuit, though.

I agree completely. A temporary health problem is a luxury!

it is definitely a luxury. I am beginning to think even my chronic IC and my stomach issues is a luxury.

Either the stimulus ends or there is some kind of gating effect that takes place.

@Pinhead its a big fear of mine an SBUTT just won’t stop. They are extremely loud and high frequency and cause dizziness and disorientation.

dizziness and disorientation? like Menieres? My fleeting tinnitus only happens once every 2 days and mine are very pleasant and don’t last nearly as long as i’d like

Oh yes.

Yes and no. I was angry before at people's stupidity and selfishness. I am still angry, but I am also tired.

I struggle and struggle not to be angry.

@Varda its so discouraging that when you go back in the internet 15 years ago there was going to be a cure in 10 years.

@cjbhab I'm sure WW2 vets that got it were told the cure was 15 years away

SSD will only help SOME people with some types of T. Many will be fucked and die without help.

I miss festivals and raves. Hope I can return one day.

@weehiru because if everyone else had this, there would be a cure by friday. But since it’s just me and 3 guys online who cares.

@cjbhab I agree on the cure part at least. I'll go with @BlueMoon86 's take on it though, give it to the rich scumbags. Cure by Friday !

part of me feels like even if every single person has it, our healthcare system will still continue to laugh in our faces> everyone has it! no one is dead! totally normal!

We are not imaginary. But I see what you mean. You could be AI, LOL

it really just us here

I know. I have so many friends that basically live in mosh pits and when I tell them I can’t go because my ears ring, they just can’t relate. I have no idea. It just baffles me.

Can confirm. Stone deaf 87 year old grandma who can't hear shit without ultra power hearing aids: no tinnitus. Her brain gating must be elite but I sure as shit didn't inherit it.

@DimLeb i have been tracking every single SBUTT i’ve had for 6+ months. i’ve probably had 5-6 days during that time where i’ve had 0. a good day is 1-2. im trying to make a connection.

before tinnitus SBUTTs happened like the 2-3 times per year.

@cjbhab yup, very similar to me. 1-2 a day is usually my average. But I also get some split second loud tones (without the blocked sensation of the SBUTT) instead, which may or may not be a SBUTT. Crazy stuff.

People are more likely to get it from Covid honestly.

Even on internet tinnitus forums people are like "you can't get permanent T from one single dose of azithromycin" but here I am. Shocks me how everyone on the ureaplasma reddit seem to be drinking azithromycin like water 7 days a week

The question could be is if further noise is damaging your ears or damaging your tinnitus?

my “great” would still have the average human running around wondering what to do.
