Supersix

I have that app. I keep forgetting to use it though.

I guess it really doesn't matter that much. It's not like you're going to lose your hearing from eating at a restaurant. If you're sensitive to the noise, wear earplugs and eat in silence.

Nice to read some other good updates. @Supersix hope you recover even more.

I've been dealing with this for nine years. I have managed to limit my stress, and now I'm sleeping for 4-5 hours without waking up to the ringing. Additionally, I can fall back asleep for another hour or two. I have been meditating and drinking hydrogen water every day. I believe all of these have contributed to reducing my symptoms, especially during the rough patch I went through in the last three years.

I've been trying hydrogen water and noticed a positive effect on my brain. I've been drinking it for three weeks, and I've seen a big difference in my mood and energy. I believe it's had a positive effect on my tinnitus as well. For the best results, you need to buy a high-end bottle. I use the Echo-Go.

Thank you for the info!

I have been drinking 32oz of hydrogen water daily for the past two days. I have noticed a reduction in inflammation, which has resulted in a decreased frequency of my hissing. Although it may be too early to make any definitive claims, I can feel positive changes in my body. The hydrogen water has also positively impacted my mood and energy levels. I highly recommend giving it a try.

@RunningMan I'm sleeping better, have tons of energy, and my anxiety has calmed down and Tinnitus; I'm telling you, you need to try it. There's a 30-day money-back guarantee. I purchased it on Amazon.

Hydrogen can slow down age-related cognitive decline. Many legitimate studies indicate that hydrogen has a positive effect on the brain.

I hope so. I feel like at the rate we are moving, I'll be dead lol

No cures likely, just some partially effective treatments eventually. It takes a long time. Hopefully some of us will gt some relief with the Shore device in the next year or two.

Lol, military is a joke. I don't think so. They will sooner build better weapons causing T.

He knows everything there is to know about his T , he don't know everything about others T cause it's different for everybody. Don't believe everything you hear about doctors n audiologists etc. The medical field is a business before anything and they will tell people they have T as a business tactic to lure the Tinnitus patients there .

He is completely trustworthy. I have no doubt in my mind that he is being entirely honest with me. He explicitly stated that there is a push for audiologists to treat tinnitus patients and emphasized the importance of their education on the matter. He made it clear that ENTs may not have the necessary time or expertise. It's important to note that he never tried to sell me anything,

@gameover He works at a business complex outside the hospital, which the hospital leases, and supervises about 8 employees.

you, too!

I tried taking 100mg once, but it made me feel mellow. I have GERD, and it triggered it, so I can't take it. My advice to anyone out there: don't be afraid to try anything. It can't be any worse than what you're going through now, and it might improve your quality of life. And if it does spike, it will come down. I'll try anything now; in the past, I was terrified, to.

Yeah, I'm grateful too I'm financially stable. I had a minor tbi 6 months prior to tinnitus and STD coverage kicked in. I was later granted SSDI and the medical coverage is the best I've ever had. It's a huge relief having support through this.

I was financially stable, but after 3 years of being unemployed and too distraught to make competent financial decisions, everything I spent 20 years working for is gone. Was always just behind housing prices, could never quite catch up. By the time I saved to afford a ~$300k house, the average price rose to $800-900k. And that would have been a house way out in Redlands, CA with a looong commute to LA/OC

@kingsfan You need to move to Central California. Your money will go further.

@Varda - when I was in university I was like that … could sleep for days. Needed to alarm clocks to get up. Now I can’t stay in bed. Going insane. I wish I could.

Two alarm

I slept fine in college at a university. My sleep did get worse when I had mild tinnitus but went to hell went it got severe. I had some nights with zero sleep, even back to back. Now I might get 5 to 6 hours broken sleep with meds before bedtime plus overnight.

I'm unfortunately not sure its that intense.

i believe it, the japanese research capabilities . they are much more focused and less profit-centered than US

there are too many secrets in this world. Real information is hard to get

That's ossiculoplasty. Nothing exactly "new", I believe.

I'd agree with you on that one @Utdmad89

I was habituated to mild tinnitus. Then it turned severe suddenly well over two years ago, and has actually worsened, so I'm further removed from habituation than ever, although some days are worse than others.

I have ADHD and A little OCD.

@kingsfan Have you tried the Azelastine?

Not yet. Actually forgot to pick it up last time I was at the store. Maybe next time

The pollen levels are decreasing. I'll use it if I get irritated by my pets or if bad air quality affects my ETD.

I suffer from allergies and ETD, and when they flare up, everything seems to go wrong. Recently, I decided to use a prescription nasal spray that I had been sitting on for a year. However, I finally decided to try it. I told myself it couldn't make my T any louder than it was, which was a good decision. The spray dried me out. I love the results so far and am curious to see how I feel over the next few days.

Azelastine HC is the prescription that helped alleviate my tinnitus and dry me out. Let's see how tomorrow goes.

I wasn't clear earlier. I meant that I think the new sleep med is making me feel worse since upping the dose. Sadly, I'm not sleeping any better, yet, either. I'm hoping I adjust and it improves.

I concur. Highly recommended.
