Here's what we have to look forward to: Mass deportations Economy ruining tariffs Dismantling of the administrative state Dismantling of the regulatory state Food, water, and air will be more poisoned and polluted than ever before Dismantling of the Affordable Care Act Dismantling of Medicaid...

I'm desperately trying to find a way out of here. I can't lose health insurance. I went many years without any insurance back before the Affordable Care Act because I was always denied due to pre-existing conditions. I can't go back to that with even more health problems now. If Dems win the...

I'm really struggling the fight desire to kill myself. The world is so fucked up. I won't want to endure it any longer. I'm just so tired, and it's only going to get more difficult from here.

Get ready for round two of repealing the Affordable Care Act. They tried last time but couldn't come to an in-party agreement. I'm sure they have a plan now. Good luck with your health insurance while having severe tinnitus and hyperacusis. You'll be denied insurance left and right. Enjoy...

Well, evidence suggests that fusiform cells in the dorsal cochlear nucleus become more active and exhibit altered properties in individuals with tinnitus. This makes it quite different from simply having hearing loss without tinnitus. I believe that tinnitus can worsen without any additional...

Could it help with chronic tinnitus that has worsened through a sound exposure?

You can't really boost your immune system beyond vaccination and antibiotics - at least there hasn't been any science-based evidence on it as of yet. What you have is what you've got. Vitamin deficiencies can weaken your immune system, though. If you live in a colder climate, there is a good...

Somatic tinnitus was one of the prerequisites of the trials.

I'm back with a couple more things I've noticed: The navigation dropdowns on desktop (Forums and Members) open onMouseOver while the notification dropdown activates on onClick. I think the Forum and Members should also be onClick. Then you can add additional menu items for the main Forum and...

Seriously. Lives are on the line here. I'm willing to take whatever risks the FDA are trying to mitigate. I'll sign a waiver. Just give us the help we desperately need.

Hey I'm also homeless. Trying to figure out how to get accepted for an apartment lease without income as well.

At least you used hearing protection - though maybe not as much as you would have liked. Things could have ended up a lot worse if you hadn't.

Here are a few things I've noticed (forgive me if they seem nitpicky). If this is better suited in a private message rather than a forum post, please let me know. In dark mode, anchor text is difficult to read and doesn't meet the WCAG 2.1 AA standard of at least 4.5:1 contrast. I haven't...

Liking the redesign and especially the dark mode. No more Dark Reader extension necessary here. Everything looks crisp. Page-load seems snappier as well.

I’ve always been able to make my ears click, even before the tinnitus started. I think it’s just from opening the Eustachian tubes. I didn’t realize the sound could be heard externally until I recorded it with my phone. It was kind of gross hearing it played back—I really hope other people...

The real cure to tinnitus:

I wish I had the guts. My existence is such a waste.

I think you should get a printout of your LDLs from that test. At least your sacrifice won't be in vain, knowing your current tolerance levels.

Hold on a minute. I'm gonna go grab my jumper cables real quick.

What were the results of your LDL test? Audiology tests are somewhat like twisting a broken arm to see if it's broken. While they might be useful to audiologists—though this is debatable—they are often detrimental to the patient.

Acoustic Reflex Test is a killer. I managed tympanometry and otoacoustic emissions tests okay.

I'm scheduled to undergo penile Doppler imaging due to chronic pain I've been experiencing for a couple of years, which has worsened. I believe they will be injecting sildenafil citrate directly into my penis. I'm concerned about potentially worsening my tinnitus, but I'm also in constant pain...

Not abandoned. Just moving through the halls of bureaucracy at a snail's pace.

I switched from an old 2015 MacBook Pro to an M2 Pro Mac Mini, and the difference is huge. The new computer runs completely silent. I hadn't realized how small the Sound Oasis was. I thought it was just a typical box like other sound machines I’ve seen, but the fact that it can fit under a...

Nepotism.

Hi @Michael Leigh, what are your thoughts on using a little tabletop fountain like the one pictured below instead of a speaker?

I’ve been registering my car online through NeedTags to have everything sent here. It’s pretty expensive, with both their fee and the cost of California registration. Last year, I even flew to California to renew my driver’s license because I wasn’t eligible to renew online. I guess every few...

Taking a hard look at my situation lately, it feels impossible to climb out of the hole I’m in. I went from having six figures in the bank to nothing but credit card debt. There’s no job in sight, and I’m homeless. My health has deteriorated. I’m greying and balding, whereas I used to have...

Sorry, I was referring to using hearing aids as hearing aids, not as earphones. That's probably fine as long as the volume is low enough.

I also wonder what shooting amplified sound waves into the cochlea is doing to the undamaged hair cells. We've already observed low-frequency sounds damaging both low and high-frequency hair cells as well as higher frequencies damaging adjacent hair cells.

An ENT I saw at the Cleveland Clinic main campus also suggested this.
