I'm sorry to hear about your tonight is. I hope it's better now. We have to be careful about the idea of correlation versus causation. you could have simply got tinnitus by chance after using headphones. I don't think there's any physiological and medical reason that most canceling headphones...

Tinnitus is listed as a side effect of cyclobenzaprine.

No, nothing unusual. Like my other spikes, it lasted a day or less.

I already had tinnitus from noise injury. I used Afrin last night and within 10 seconds, the tinnitus got lounder. Now on day 2 and it's still louder. Ugh.

I used Afrin last night and almost immediately my tinnitus spiked. It seems a bit louder now the next day. Typing in Afrin and tinnitus in Google gets conflicting results. The first result was that Afrin isn't ototoxic and another links to a study no longer available about 37% of Afrin users...

Research shows long term use of ppi drugs is quite harmful. H2 blockers are much safer. I took zantac and it does seem to make my t louder but that goes away when I stop taking them.

The audiologist at the medical college of Wisconsin told me not to use formal sound therapy and just instead gave me a free plan to use (sounds on apps for a few hours a day for a couple month). She also told me that in time the noise will just be something I'd get used to and learn to ignore...

Tums are totally safe and with PPIs it's a very tiny percentage

From what I read they calcium in tums is not the same calcium that causes kidney stones. Kidney Stone Myths MYTH: Kick Calcium to the Curb "This is a big myth-buster here," says Kristina Penniston, PhD, registered dietician and researcher in the University of Wisconsin-Madison Department of...

From what I have read, all PPIs have tinnitus listed as a side effect. Most H2 blockers can also cause it, including cimetidine. I am not sure why people post things saying one drug is safe without knowing that for sure. A quick Google search of the drug name and tinnitus pulled up...

I have had T since last fall due to acoustic trauma. At times it is invasive, but the BEST thing you can do is NOT FEAR IT. It won't hurt you. Make friends with it. Invite it in. Talk to it. Seriously, this sounds nuts, but truly it works. It helps you habituate to it. When you get anxious about...

The MRI was certainly quieter than others I have had and there were times when the sounds were much quieter than others. I am fine post-MRI and don't think it caused any issues for me.

Did they claim it was silent scan too?

Did your spike come down?

Then it must be true :) How do I find a location with these? I wrote Canon and they said they won't tell you what provider has them. Why wouldn't a company put a list of providers on their website? They cite privacy. How stupid!

That's the exploding sounds of the MRI machine :)

Is there a possible risk of worsening tinnitus from the contrast drug?

You are incorrect. There is absolutely no radiation whatsoever with an MRI. They use magnets, not radiation, and it is harmless (except for the noise).

You're welcome. I have heard that Toshiba makes one that really, really is silent, but when I wrote them, they said they cannot provide any information on providers that have their devices. Great marketing Toshiba! WTH is wrong with these companies? Also, while I am not a doctor, I have heard...

Here is the claimed comparison on their YouTube. In their promo literature, they claim ambient room sound is 74 dB, the Silent Scan is 77 dB, and standard MRI is 108 db.

I posted on here that I had a Silent Scan using the GE MRI. The website for the Silent Scan, as well as their YouTube videos, indicate that the MRI is only a few decibels above the room ambient sounds. In the YouTube video, you can hardly hear the MRI at work. That was NOT my experience with the...

I did a so called silent scan mri by ge. It was anything but silent. Not as loud as regular ones but not much quieter. Even with ear plugs and my head packed in foam, it wa very loud. Absolute false advertising by ge.

I had a brain and neck MRI today using the silent scan. IT WAS NOT SILENT. That name is a monomer. It should be called reduced sound, but most scan sequences were well above 4 decibles over ambient sound. Some were very loud and I was wearing ear plugs along with having them pack the side of my...

I had a head and neck MRI today and drove to another state as they had silent scan. What a misnomer. It is NOT silent and certainly not only 4 decibles above ambient room noise as claimed by GE. While a little less noisy then regular, it was till VERY loud during numerous scan sequences

The side effects are much higher, even with endoscopic surgery, as this cures the nerves. It can result in dry eye, an issue I already struggle with, and much more.

Has anyone done the ClariFix procedure? It can swell the ear tubes for up to 3 months. Worried about that causing ear fullness and messing with my tinnitus.

Yes. It's a steroid and listed as a possible side effect.

According to the prescribing info, tinnitus is a side effect of otc cortisone nasal sprays for about 1% of users.

I'm going for elective surgery soon and need to take an antibiotic, cefadroxil. It's mildly ototoxic. Is there an antibiotic that is safer for the ears?

Be careful with this study. Any study with less than 50 participants is suspecr for reliability and it's only one study. When you have several well designed studies that demonstrate the same result, then you can take the finding to the bank.

What additional acoustic injury did you have to get back to hell?

One of the things they try to rule out with t is a tumor on your hearing nerve.

Any antibiotic given via IVF has a higher toxicity

While doing some research for acid reflux medications that I have to take to prevent cancer, I came across this great info. https://www.tinnitus.org.uk/drugs

She said the current, reliable research indicates that once it gets into the brain and other brain centers, repairing hair cells won't undo those connections that were made throughout the network in the brain. The studies you cited are unreliable and do not meet the requirements of a good...

Tonal, then a voice recognition at various volumes.

Hi - Everything you stated is unsupported by current scientific research. Mercury in your teeth has no effect on your body or mind. That's been proven time and again.

@PortalNaut That's what the audiologist said. Our brains have plasticity which allows new connections. This happens all the time, with new experiences and thoughts. By not perceiving t as a threat and not having a negative reaction to it, it can indeed be ignored for the most part.

@PortalNaut . Just turned 40 last week. I've done loud home remodeling work for 10 years on my home and never used ear protection and listened to loud music and podcasts v ou a earbuds for years. I am confident that's what injured me.

I don't have h, but I do have t. Periodically my left ear drum will bang from TTTS. That should go away over time. I spoke with my former supervisor today. He has t and hearing loss and had these for over 15 years. He mentioned that it has been stable over that time though at times his t is...

Saw audiologist at the tinnitus and hyperacusis clinic at Medical College of Wisconsin. They did numerous tests and found that I have hearing loss between about 15 and 20 kHz. Thankfully not at the hearing floor level, but clearly outer hairs are damaged. No loss up to about 12 kHz at all...

Church where there is singing and movies. When I attend these I use Eargasm hi-fi noise reducing ear plugs. Brings things down about 15 dbs and clear as day.

I also work in a private office where it is usually very quiet. As part of my job, I led committees and teams and do a lot of training of students and employees. However, I also do home remodeling on my own home. When I do this louder work, I wear 32 db reducing ear pluds and 28 dbs reducing...

I would not take it. The evidence of its effectiveness is very shaky and limited while the side effects, now and later (avascular hip bone) aren't really worth it.

Do you have an update - did you get surgery and did it work or did it go away?

Hi - did you ever find out what this was and if it resolved?

This is a retrospective study of 30 patients and the abstract contains errors, such as the ability to cure tinnitus. I wouldn't rely on this study.

Just found and watched this great video by Dr. Hall on how to evaluate research, part of the science-based medicine series. Here is the checklist from the video: Bausell offers a simple 4-item checklist of things to look for to judge whether a study is likely to be credible: Randomized with a...

I do... but I wanted some advice from those who've been through this already.

Ok, so I got tinnitus about a month ago from noise exposure (loud work on my home). It drove me nuts but with the help of this site and others, I learned to tune it out and about habituation. In reality, I rarely hear it most of the time and when I do it isn't really a bother. I had some outer...
