There's no cure best bet is the KCC2 drugs which are ten fifteen years off.

@BB23 how the hell is anything 10-15 years off? lmao. just such a joke.

if something is 15 years away it’s on the back burner and not something anyone really cares about

It's amazing. I don't know how T works. My dad is 62 and he uses power tools without ear protection and complete silence. And here I got my current T not even from a concert. Lame.

Cure? A treatment is many more times likely to come along before any cures (if ever).

@RunningMan just want something that improves my T enough that it’s not on my mind every second of every day.

There is plenty of us. But not enough.

As Tobias Funke on "Arrested Development" used to say, "There are dozens of us! Dozens!"

Sry 2 hear that @cjbhab it will most likely settle some but I know how you feel. All you can do is hope and search for distraction. Its all very exhausting...

maybe from the day before?

@streifzug maybe a bit of noise 4 days ago. but really? spike 4 days later ? crazy SBUTTS. i wonder what is happening scientifically in your brain when a spike happens. something different is happening and something has to cause it. lots of times it’s seemingly random.

I drink diet caffeine-free pop just occasionally, not as much as I used to in part because of years of massive inflation.

@RunningMan oh man. i spend way too much on soda. gotta cut down lol.

Yes and coffee. These things have kept me from lighting up cigarettes the past 12 years.

Wtf.

Almost feels like home....

heard it like 4 times during the hockey game it got me riled

I don't think it'll make it worse.

If it makes you feel any better, the ENT said to me, "Maybe your hearing is just really, really good." He also said he can hear his own heartbeat on his pillow too.

I think the real question is whether the ability to hear your heartbeat on a pillow predisposes you to T or H or is more likely to occur after you get T or H. I betcha science doesn't know the answer to that.

Do you have any idea as to why you can hear it on your left side but not on your right? Anecdotally, it seems like most people hear it on both sides or not at all.

@ECP science doesn’t know the answer to much about T.
i always assumed it was because the heart is on your left side.. that’s probably super over simplifying it though.

Good question. Everything about people is fucking too loud. Somehow nature does not seem to...

Absolutely agree with you. Cars, motorbikes, music in grocery stores, microwaves, blenders, people, everything and everyone is so loud

i honestly don't know how more people are not deaf with how loud this world is.

I think that's factoring in a poorly fit or inserted earplug as well, which is easy to do with foam plugs. So their standard is erring on the side of caution.

@RunningMan i would not say i have a poor fit when im using mack’s 33 dB foam earplugs. they expand perfectly and block the whole ear when i put them on properly. most people i see wearing earplugs do not put them in right though.

Mine is not stable, but you would probably call it mild. It is loudest right before bed, and first thing in the am.

To audio stimulus or spontaneous? I get the fluttering to voices a lot (left ear) and thumps spontaneously sometimes in right ear that go on for a while (or sometimes in response to stretching / touching / moving).

@RunningMan spontaneously . yesterday i was having an issue too where my left ear was clicking in response to my own voice. so annoying.

I was about 220 lb. in early 2020 and dropped to as low as 176 that fall. I have maintained closer to 180 since.

@crescentsky Yes exactly. That is why I don't hesitate to call tinnitus one of the worst conditions a human being can get :-(

Trauma.

i would not have a single real problem. I have finally accomplished a lot in life and i’m in a good spot but T is clouding it.

I wish I was Alice in Wonderland
