    Autifony Therapeutics Phase II Study for AUT00063, for the Treatment of Hearing Loss and Tinnitus

    Tinnitus caused by hearing loss... I agree people with ringing in their head will have that range of hearing *masked* but no matter what you do to amp up the hearing in that range there's no fixing damaged hearing when it's not damaged. That's where the potassium drugs would come into play to...

    Autifony Therapeutics Phase II Study for AUT00063, for the Treatment of Hearing Loss and Tinnitus

    Lots of Debbie downers in here. In the medical world nothing is possible until it is. They will figure it out at some point. I understand having this trial fail really hit a nerve with a lot of people myself included I was hopeful but it is what it is and other things are in the works...

    The Workout Thread

    I've been out of lifting heavy for a few months due to my son being sick nonstop over winter, me being sick, and then the whole time thing. I can't wait to get back into it, but for now I stick with cardio. I mountain bike a lot, and tend to be very active over all. Half the battle is fought...

    Will Growing Older Worsen Tinnitus?

    Maybe stupid is the wrong word, but it's something I've done as with most everyone else and in hindsight it causes stress that only makes things worse as a whole. This is hard to say, currently I'm dealing with a whole new T that I've never dealt with before, its super high pitch and can't...

    Will Growing Older Worsen Tinnitus?

    So much to be taken from this line. From perfectly healthy people, to people with issues. I think everyone could use a little more living in the moment and less being worried about the future. I know I can. Retirement and making ends meet aside. Living in the moment is truly living...

    An Awful Experience... Just Got Back From The Dentist

    Plugging did not make it louder. It made you precive it as louder. Everyone on here most likely has a horror story or something they did that they regretted alright away. It's all good. ;)

    An Awful Experience... Just Got Back From The Dentist

    For anyone thinking about plugging at the dentist. Next time you are eating make note of how loud your chewing is. Next. Plug your ears and chew, make note of how loud it is. Or try it now by simply letting your teeth come together. With and without ears plugged. Now think of a drill!

    An Awful Experience... Just Got Back From The Dentist

    When I was at my peak, there's no way in hell that would work for me, the issue is tooth to bone, it will not go well with any type of headphones, even noise cancellation or plugs IMO. Try clapping your hands indoors, if you can't do that without holding back, you need more time to work...

    An Awful Experience... Just Got Back From The Dentist

    Exposing yourself to sounds will help, understanding that the sounds you are being exposed to WILL NOT hurt your hearing is key, if you expose yourself to 90db of sound and mentally freak out because what if what if what if... you'll never get past it and it will also most likely cause your T...

    An Awful Experience... Just Got Back From The Dentist

    Sorry to hear you had such a bad experience! What you need to do is work on desensitizing your hearing. I think everyone with T has at some point shut their ears away and kept ANY noise from them, at lot of people still do, what this does is cause your tolerance for sounds to lower and...

    Acupuncture for Tinnitus

    I can't stand blood work, however my last tattoo took 25? hours. Weird how that work. Anytime I need to have blood drawn I always tell the person doing it I need to lay down before we start... Even holding my son, if hes getting blood drawn it bothers me. So weird. so mental.

    Fish Tanks — Helps with Stress and Masking All in One! Anyone Else Have One?

    Very nice, those baby tears? came in nicely. Yes injecting, I was doing DIY co2 but got lazy. Paintball Co2 setups are awesome for smaller tanks plus dicks sporting goods refills them for $3.99 and every 5th refill is free. Not too bad for 6-8 months worth of Co2 on a single 20oz tank.

    Fish Tanks — Helps with Stress and Masking All in One! Anyone Else Have One?

    I didn't notice T until I moved out of my parents house and into an apartment. At my parents house I had a fish tank in my bedroom with an air pump so it always made a hummmmmmm. At my apartment I moved the fish tank into the living room and for the first time in many years I had a quiet...

    Being Young with Tinnitus

    I've never been big into clubs, went a handful of times and was done. My T showed up around 21 so clubbing was an after the fact thing, my ENT believes I have hearing loss due to an ear infection that went untreated as a child.

    Different places all over the world hold T as a good thing. Some people believe if you have T is is gods way of send messages and such, others think it comes with wisdom.

    Being Young with Tinnitus

    With motorcycles it is not the exhaust... It is the wind noise. Although 110db exhaust is pretty darn loud! there's a very easy fix to a very loud exhaust... however, not so much of an easy fix for wind noise. Regardless of electric or gas powered, the wind noise will always be there and...

    Being Young with Tinnitus

    Bone conduction is something I worried about with motorcycling since wind noise can get intense!

    Being Young with Tinnitus

    If you are smart about it, you shouldn't worry to much. One thing I've noticed about T over the years is when I think I was around something loud, my T spikes regardless. Key is knowing what is and isn't safe and playing by those rules of protection when needed and not thinking about if it...

    Being Young with Tinnitus

    regardless of what someone thinks or feels. Only a hearing test will show the true value of it. People shoot guns, ride motorcycles and all kinds of other things that would be listed as louder sounds than a concert. With proper protection they will not experience hearing loss unless it's...

    Being Young with Tinnitus

    If wearing plugs you shouldn't have had any hearing damage. Is your T from hearing loss or something else? People need to get over loud noises. If you are not risking damage to your ears (by wearing protection) then hearing damage related T won't change... Of course T can be caused by...

    Just Foor for Thought About Everyone's Tinnitus and Hyperacusis

    Don't stop doing stuff. It will just piss you off and make you stress about all the things you can't do and in the end will make you focus on it more causing it to become even louder. Just be safe. Ear plugs at a concert/club is a must. With ear plugs there is no reason you should have...

    ENT Appointment — What to Expect and Ask?

    No doubt there's good reasons to check for it when there's signs that point to it like hearing loss out of no where. Many people have been to ENTs for ringing from sound exposure and normally they get the tumor talk. Ask around here, it's not uncommon. Best part is the stress from that...
