    I have improved mentally and learned not to fear tinnitus or medication. I'm willing to try anything that could enhance my quality of life, which has made a significant difference. I don't fear noise, either. If you have an, I dont Give an F-K attitude; it will improve your mental health. I'm not going to let Tinnitus control me im in control now.
    Has anyone tried Rejuvias for sleep? If so, does it work and do you experience any side effects?
    There is an app called SoundPrint that measures restaurant noise levels."
    kingsfan
    I have that app. I keep forgetting to use it though.
    Supersix
    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.
    For nine years, I have been dealing with constant tinnitus, which occupies my mind 24/7. Hopefully, it will disappear one day.F-K Tinnitus
    My tinnitus has improved; I experience fewer spikes during the day. I still have ringing when I sleep, but it calms down an hour after Iwake
    I believe that tinnitus may be treatable with ultrasound. It can target a specific area of the brain and reset it.It works for drug addicts
    Tonight's episode of 60 Minutes ffeatured a segment on the use of ultrasound to target specific areas in the brain and reset it. watch it
    @Supersix May I ask what is the name of the audiology practice in Oregon that treated the patient your audiologist told you about, and did they get good results?
    Supersix
    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 experienced two consecutive days of complete silence. It feels strange; I still have ringing in my ears at night, when I wake up it calms.
    I bought an Echo Go Hydrogen water bottle. It was a little pricey but well worth it. It has 4.5PPM (ORP) of mV or higher. BPA-free, I]
    Supersix
    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.
    The military will soon have a pill that can cure tinnitus. It is intended for the troops to prevent hearing loss from combat noise.
    crescentsky
    I hope so. I feel like at the rate we are moving, I'll be dead lol
    RunningMan
    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.
    gameover
    Lol, military is a joke. I don't think so. They will sooner build better weapons causing T.
    The chief audiologist at my hospital, Kaiser, has severe tinnitus. We spoke for an hour, and he knows everything there is to know about T.
    L
    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 .
    Supersix
    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,
    Supersix
    @gameover He works at a business complex outside the hospital, which the hospital leases, and supervises about 8 employees.
    The 1st online Gene Therapy and Pharmacology Conference in the U.K. is scheduled for June 28, 2024.
    May I find relief. May I find peace. May I be at ease. Say this to yourself several times a day It is good for the soul
    have you tried gabapentin? did it make your tinnitus worse?
    Supersix
    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.
    I was approved for SSDI due to my chronic tinnitus. It's challenging to prove, but you have a chance with the proper medical evidence!
    J
    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.
    kingsfan
    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.
    I had a filling today. The drilling noise was terrifying, but I think it lowered my Tinnitus,lol
    Who takes medication every night for sleep, and what do you take?

    @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.

    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.
    The search for a cure for tinnitus is becoming more intense. It's a billion-dollar industry.
    cjbhab
    I'm unfortunately not sure its that intense.
    My ENT told me that Japan is on the verge of finding a cure for tinnitus. He mentioned they have a pill, but it causes severe side effects.
    In which stage of habituation are you currently? There are four. You can find more information on the ATA website. I'm between 3 and 4.

    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.
    The wild world of tinnitus. I laugh at it now because it's so predictable. It can't hurt you, but it can make you miserable some days
    I am wishing you a fantastic Memorial Day weekend! Take advantage of the great weather and fire up the grill for delicious ribeyes!
    If you suffer from allergies and it makes your ringing/hissing louder, I suggest trying Azelastine Nasal spray. It helped lower my T.

    kingsfan
    Not yet. Actually forgot to pick it up last time I was at the store. Maybe next time
    Supersix
    The pollen levels are decreasing. I'll use it if I get irritated by my pets or if bad air quality affects my ETD.
    How's everyone doing? Hope you all are having a great weekend
    Supersix
    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.
    Supersix
    Azelastine HC is the prescription that helped alleviate my tinnitus and dry me out. Let's see how tomorrow goes.
    RunningMan
    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.
