That is awesome @marqualler , really happy for you! Are you finding even with the reactivity, your tinnitus calms down after an a while and is staying stable at is “calm” baseline and not worsening or spiking?

Somehow over the past two weeks my reactivity component came down quite a bit and I was left with basically "just" my baseline tinnitus which I've lived with for almost ten years. Of course today I jinxed it and woke up with my left ear stuffy and reactive as heck! It's maybe slightly better as the day has gone on so I'm hopeful it was just the more active than usual day yesterday.

@ErikaS And then today it's back to it's "lower" baseline, so I dunno. I'm hoping the migraine protocol is what is really helping. There's no real way of knowing but it doesn't hurt to try!

then my nose would be ringing, or my sense of smell would be broken.

What if our noses were in our armpits?

Hi Mia, no, my hearing test is mostly consistent in the "normal" range across the board other than a small notch at the 4-6k range on both of my ears. Only my left ear has ever been affected by tinnitus, though. My 2024 hearing test results are actually about the same as it was when I was first affected in 2014.

Thanks for sharing

Hi, man. I´m reading threads about flying. How was your experience? why do you say "not the best"? I booked a 2,20 hour flight for december. Boeing 737-800. seat row 5. Thanks in advance. Don.

Hi @Don Tinny Really just not as much fun flying on a flight when I have a harder time listening to stuff on headphones than normal, but other than that I had no real issues going up and down or anything like that. I've consistently used Earplanes to help me equalize the pressure and they have been really helpful.

@MiaVIL No, I probably could try to go on again but I am a bit skittish after that experience.

I think my sound sensitivity is decreasing slightly so just sticking to the supplement side of things and adding NAC to it. Also getting on a plane tomorrow and have manu different ear protectors.

I took 50 mg nortriptyline for months. I didn't affect my tinnitus or help me in anyway. I finally weaned off due to it not helping and causing side effects like dry mouth and higher heart rate.
