    Just Recently Got Tinnitus

    Hey guys so recently I've been reading about NAC (N-acetyl-L-cysteine), I was just wondering what your thoughts are about it. I initially read that some think it helps prevent any worsening of hearing or tinnitus, but I've also been reading through a few threads in which some actually say they...

    Just Recently Got Tinnitus

    @Contrast I could be wrong, but my understanding was that those who have tinnitus have certain regions of their brain, associated with sound/noise (which I thought might be or include the NMDA receptors?), active even when there is no sound present in their environment. And the NMDA antagonists...

    Just Recently Got Tinnitus

    @Contrast I've been reading a little through what some companies have been doing in search for a tinnitus treatment, and a good amount have been trying to use NMDA antagonist things, which, from what I've read, have helped lessen tinnitus in certain clinical trials. I think more attention is...

    Just Recently Got Tinnitus

    @PortalNaut I'm fairly sure it was largely caused by using earbuds and overall noise exposure. I've also read that some think stress can contribute to it, and I was a little stressed just before the onset of T, so I think that may have had something to do with it as well. I've seen two ENTs, I...

    Just Recently Got Tinnitus

    Hi guys, thanks for all your comments and advice. I'll look into getting those adjustable earplugs, I was just wondering, Michael, why don't you think taking steroids for this might be of benefit? You seem to have considerable experience and knowledge about T, I was just curious why you seemed...

    Just Recently Got Tinnitus

    Hi Michael, Thanks for the response, I'm not fully sure as to what the exact cause was, although I do suspect wearing earbuds may have caused it or at least contributed to it. But yeah I don't think I'll be wearing earbuds or headphones anytime soon if I ever do again. The tinnitus is mild...

    Hi, I'm 19 yrs old and just got mild tinnitus about 5 days ago, and it has diminished a little since then. I went to an ENT and did a hearing test, according to its results I have no hearing loss. I've read that certain steroids can help with tinnitus, and when I asked the ENT about this he...
