Hi everybody, it's been a while since I've posted here. Just to give an update where I'm currently at: I've been using the laser for about 5 months. My hearing didn't improve significantly while using the laser. I'll try to get meeting audiogram in next months. My tinnitus, while it's still...

1. Based on your numbers you're far from needing a hearing aid. And you shouldn't even noticed it that much. I bet that in a year or two, you won't see the difference from normal. In terms of enjoying music there aren't that many instruments that have frequency higher than 4k in any case. I...

@jdjd09 I'm actually quite curious why you think you have hearing issue, since from what I remember your audiogram loss is not even in a speaking range.. ? I think that in your case you're still in shock from incident and you somehow convinced yourself that you're broken.

I think I'm the same age as you. So 28 at the moment. The only issue hearing I have, is around noisy, closed spaced, restaurants when people are yelling across each other. As well when I'm driving, if my girl is speaking to silent on the damaged site. In that case I just remind her that she...

This is my audiogram, and I don't need hearing aid and hear just fine in most of the occasions.

Hi, I was totally busy last couple of months. If what Tinnitus helped me to be more focused on my business, so this is a plus. And although it's really loud it fades in the background when I'm totally focused on something else. Anyway, I've used the laser maybe once a week for half an hour...

Regular hospital ENT. He says that the time to see any recovery is about 1 year. After that the recovery stops. I think this is standard opinion in medicine, and it originates from some long term study which measured hearing improvements on soldiers or something for 5 years or so.. It's...

Well, I had some improvements. Not sure if they were from laser or not.. I'll keep trying laser this year or maybe two and I'll track the audiogram improvements. Doctors said that it should stabile for me now and additional improvements are highly unlikely. So if there is audiogram change...

26.8.2015 Update: Laser treatment every 4-5 days for about half an hour: No change. T and hearing loss feels at the same level. Best, Luka

Vincent, :)))) you really made me laugh..Yes, those "octupus" looking eyes were already before I started with LLLT :)

Update 1.8.2015 Hi everybody, just to give you a new update. MRI: My MRI scan turned out okay. No tumors or something. I've also received some nice images of my head. :) It's now almost a year from the accident the doctor said that there is highly unlikely that I'll regain any hearing...

@jdren I don't want to scare you but go to the ENT as soon as possible (tommorow): - ask him to put you on steroids, - go buy and eat a lot of vitamin b, and e oil. - as well as magnesium. - It would also be good if you can go into the hyperbaric chamber If you're having what It's possible...

Hi Everbody, Sorry for a late response, I was totally occupied with work and after that with holidays. :) Anyway: Update : 9.7.2015 Not much noticeable improvement regarding hearing threshold through youtube test. Tinnitus level seams more or less same as before. I've used the laser every 3...

Hi guys, nothing new to this date. I had an MRI which was loud as hell(but was manageable with plugs), I'm having a doctors appointment next week, I'll let you know more. Best, Luka

Nope, just look at my audiogram in LLLT thread where I have a 60 db lose on 1500 hz but perfect hearing up from 8k on.

Update 2.6.2015 I've complained yesterday about the numbness around my ear, and I took a day off to visit ENT in the hospital. Anyway: I'll get MRI this week and after that ENT will check for acustic neuron. We've done a hearing test though, to check if the numbness had an impact on my hearing...

Treatment: 1.6.2015 I used the laser only twice this week. For about half an hour per season. Last couple of days I'm feeling numbness in my ear. My hearing threshold is a bit worse than before. Maybe it's because of usage of wax earplugs and my ear drum got a bit plugged or got something else...

Treatment: 24.5.2015 Both probes at the same power as before for one hour. 3 Times a week. Results: -No change. Hearing threshold and tinnitus sound level and frequency is the same. best, Luka

Sorry for slow response, I'm really occupied at work. Anyway: 20.5.2015 treatment: I've done 3 treatments for one hour with both probes. At the same level as previous week. I don't notice any changes regarding hearing threshold and as far am I concern the Tinnitus pitch and volume is still...

I don't know @NiNyu.. I really don't want to do any word fighting or heavy debating, but if you read my post above you'll find, that I was advocating my believe that majority of people put themselves in the too-severe-to-help-tinnitus group precisely out of depression, fear and anxiety, which is...

and So congrats, :) I wish you as much as possible those happy moments that happen even while T is roaring. :)

Maybe, but while there is nothing much to be done regarding Tinnitus loudness and pitch, there can a lot be done regarding anxiety, depression and fear.. That is why I believe that saying to yourself that your case of Tinnitus is so severe that cannot be helped is not the right way.

I don't know @Vincent R. Maybe I'm mistaken, but for me habituation and adaptation is more or less the same thing.. If achieved, it can drastically reduces the impact that Tinnitus has on your life. (Even if you have really loud T) I'm hearing T as I'm writing this and although I can hear it...

For me it's pretty obvious that people on this board have besides Tinnitus also problems with anxiety, depression and fear. I believe that combination of those things amplifies the severity of Tinnitus a lot and I would say that because of those factors a lot of people put themself into "I have...

OK, from my point habituation is not so much about not noticing tinnitus but is more about to not be emotional to it. I had a period of my life when I was writing my thesis in a loud bar. It was fun, I was busy writing and sipping bear. Fun times. The noise which was really loud didn't bothered...

10.5.2015 - Treatment I've used the laser 3 times for an hour this week. Overall I believe that I understand speech better than couple of months before, but testing with online hearing test it's the same result as before. I don't know to what should I attribute that: Habituation, laser, pills...

I must say that it's always amusing to read all those heated debates. It's kind of like watching some sort of weird debate club. Fun :) I've got my T companion through acoustic trauma accompanied with huge single sided hearing loss. I guess I'm more or less habituated now and I've habituated...

2.5.2015- Treatment I've had a bit of pause. I've used laser only two times this week for about an hour a day. Results: Don't notice any specific change. Best, Luka

25.4.2015 - Treatment: Lucky Laser every couple of days for 1 hour in the morning. I've increases a bit the power lvl for 808 wavelenght. Now it's 480 mW Results: No notable change for hearing loss and Tinnitus for now. See you next week, Luka

I was misdiagnosed. The doctor did not think that the shout can do so much damage. She said that I should wait couple of days and I believed her. I've received the steroids 6 days from the accident. I've combined them with Hyperbaric chamber therapy, but I guess it was to late than. Anyway what...

12.4.2015 - treatment Hi Guys just to give you update. The treatment this week I've reduced a dose a bit. 1 Hour per day. in the morning with both probes simultaneously. I had a discussion with @FERNANDO GIL and he had some concerns about me using earphones. I've used them trough the day...

Hi @LaDawg What are Zeolite drops + MegaDefense Mushrooms ? Do you have maybe Amazon link ? As for smoking yeah, I believe it makes harder to regenerate, since it narrows the vains. I don't smoke, but I do though every weekend pop a couple of beers, and it does not really make any difference...

Hi, @felinefine Cool you received the laser. I hope it'll improve your condition a bit :)

Cmon :) Get used to it, it's not that bad. You can use the wax ones which can nicely adjust your ears. :) When I buy a new shoes they always give me some pains for a couple of days, after that all goes smooth :) It' s the same with the plugs.

No it's not. Get a ear plugs and you'll be okay.

@rtwombly with Cink I've meant Zinc. As for the supplement regimen I've kind of do that by myself. Normally the acoustic trauma triggered just by human shout, could not do that much damage, but in my case it seams it did. I try to take as much as supplements as possible to give my hearing cells...

Hi Everybody, I've received a Lucky Laser couple of days ago and I'll start to document the treatment starting with 17.2.2015 A short background about me: I suffered acoustic trauma exactly 6 months ago (16.8.2014) by going to concert, where a friend shouted something directly in my right...

Hello Dr. Nagler, I've had a acute acoustic trauma 4 months ago. I was on concert and someone shouted really loudly into my ear. I've had big hearing loss and tinnitus. (I've put audigram in the attachment) 1 Year ago I developed an ear infection on both ears due to an ear wax and see water...

Hey felinefine, yeah I still have hearing loss in the speech frequencies, it got a bit better though. I haven't taken an audiogram for a while, but from my guess trough testing, (youtube hearing test) it got better to around 50db. I've developed ear infection while on holidays, due to a mix of...

felinefine I have exactly the same problem. Had accustic trauma 4 months ago. Whenever I blow by nose or perform the maneuver, my healthy ear properly responds while my damaged ear blows up like a balloon. I don't really see the correlations between damaged hair cells and popping sounds ...

Hi MichaelM, drox pretty much summarized it up. I did have some ear infections last year, which probably made my hearing more vulnerable. I do believe that the human shouts can be capable of toping 100 db, especially if its in loud environment and directly to the ear.

Hi Everybody, My name is Luka, I'm 27 and I'm a tinnitus sufferer (like most of you) since august 2014. I'd like to kind of make a bit of introductory to my tinnitus story, how I'm coping with it, and what I'm up to :) Reason for my tinnitus: is acute acoustic trauma. I was on concert and a...
