As an update, I found a cool solution. I use my phone and place it under my pillow. The app for music has a timer so it doesn't play the entire playlist (I have one just for sleep). The pillow muffles the sound so it doesn't bother my partner but I can hear it just fine. This has worked very...

I typically research something to death before I buy. I came across the Loop and, with its great reviews and decent price, I just ordered a set. I'll let y'all know how they work. https://www.earplugstore.com/loop-earplugs-for-music.html I'll get a headset later. Not decided on which one to...

I went to my fave restaurant tonight and ran into friends. We sat together but the noise around me (typical Friday night crowding) was intense. I could not hear most of the conversation. I couldn't concentrate and had a few moments of spinning. Not bad, just enough to add to the frustration...

I have had an MRI which showed no neuroma. Ear tubes were clear. Nothing of note except something about blood vessels in the frontal lobe and migraines (which I have). I've been seeing a balance/vestibular PTist who is actually an MD of PT and specializes in this. - I do not have BPPV (wore...

So after much work by my GPs appt nurse, I finally got an appt with an ENT. I saw her Thursday. I also had a hearing test next door to the ENT (it was scheduled that way). - Hearing test showed stuff were good. Typical higher pitched hearing loss for my age bracket. - My eustachian (sp?) tube...

I finally have an ENT appt for next week. They're about 45mins away but I can deal with that! The ringing has been constant since it started. Except for lately. It started a few days ago. The tone gets very loud for a while then I suddenly could not hear anything as a very loud, higher pitched...

I live near Asheville NC where there are a plethora of specialists and medical facilities. Heart clinic rated one of the best in the nation. Robotic surgeries. Yet there are only 2 or 3 ENTs. One is full for the next 60 days. They do not schedule new appts beyond that 60 days. They were not...

I am a ham radio operator. I am not as active as I once was but a friend went silent key (aka she died) and I am wanting to get back into it again in her memory. I also love PC games from Homeworld to Sims to BigFish games. If I ever get around to saving up for a gaming computer, I'm never...

Paracetamol is UK/EU for acetaminophen/Tylenol.

Writer. 3 published books w/in a niche market (read: few sales). Two SF and one Romance. Before that I've done stuff from nursery school coordinator to nursery/landscape laborer to hot dog vendor at ball park (not in the stands!) to various others. I was on my way to being a potter (few months...

Tramadol - several sources say may be a side effect but not overly common Mirtazapine - is used as treatment for tinnitus Zapain - can cause hearing loss (seems to be totally random on who this hits) but I couldn't find where it caused tinnitus Your best bet is to discuss this with your...

I've looked into the pillow speakers this morning after talking with my partner. I think we can come up with a compromise. And since pillow speakers are much much much cheaper than conductive headset, I'll start with them. I once spent too much money on something called "sleep phones" that was...

Thanks! I think. LOL Sometimes it is good to hear from others that you're not alone.

Thank you for your answer. I appreciate it. No, my tinnitus is not caused by loud noise although it can cause spikes in intensity. My partner would rather I not play music or sound (pink noise makes the ringing and roar go away) aloud at night which is why I use a single ear bud. I would have...

I am looking into them as I would rather not cover my ears or put a plug in them. I like the listen to music and with the tinnitus, I am having difficulty hearing the music through speakers.

How do I know which ear the sound is coming from? It *seems* to be in the back in the middle of my skull. Leaning toward the left side I suppose. There's a roar/hum, deep-ish. That one I can't tell where it is coming from at all. It is like I'm immersed in the sound? Then there's the high...

This is what I will probably be diagnosed with, once my GP finds an ENT with an opening in their schedule! Sheesh. I am not a doctor. I have only researched my symptoms extensively and discussed this with my doc. Sudden hearing loss is more along the lines of the acoustic neuroma, isn't it...

I am a writer. I focus now on fiction but have written non-fiction in the past. I can at the least assist with editing.

Does anyone use these? How do they work with tinnitus? I wear my earbuds to listen to music so I can fall asleep (insomnia plus tinnitus) but I think they aren't helping with the moisture/wax issue I also have going on. I use Logitech gaming headset at my PC but can't wear them to bed. Not...

I take magnesium glycinate for my PVCs and it works for that. I take 100mg in AM and 200 in PM right before bed. It doesn't seem to do much for my tinnitis and if it is, I do NOT want to know what my roaring and/or tone would be like with out it!!

Sleep apnea is not just a sleep thing. It is a whole body thing. Each time you have an apnea event, your body (every organ, every cell) is deprived of oxygen. Blood gases that are usually dispelled via exhalation are instead kept in the blood stream. This happens every time. *Untreated* sleep...

So, hey. I'm Paula, a mumble yr old female from NC USA. I am a book writing lesbian crip (nutshell version). I much prefer dogs to cats (have three of one and two of the other) and live in a rural area outside of Asheville. I've always (at least it seems as if it has always happened) heard...
