    Reactive Tinnitus and Flying on an Airplane

    I have had the same experiences as others. I have awful, reactive tinnitus going on, but flying (even long flights in Economy as I have to do) has never caused major problems. HOWEVER, I do always wear both earplugs and earmuffs. I'm surprised people are getting such low numbers; I've often...

    How Do You Manage Restaurants with Tinnitus and Hyperacusis?

    I go, but always wear earmuffs. If I didn't, it would be a disaster as my tinnitus is extremely reactive, but so far this works (everyone knows my situation and even meeting new people isn't a problem, once I explain I'm not just rudely listening to music!) I find earplugs make it impossible to...

    Chronic Ear Infections After Tinnitus Onset

    Has anyone here had to deal with reoccurring ear infections, or knows any other adult who has? Anyone struggling with this on top of their tinnitus at times? And any "success stories" of them eventually coming to an end? Apart from the crazy long term auditory phenomena we in this group have to...

    How Bad of an Idea Is It to Just Stop Caring and Pretend I Don’t Have Tinnitus Anymore?

    This is an interesting thread, and I've been helped by reading the discussion. I understand what @CompostInTraining means, both becuause the tinnitus I have going on got worse after unavoidable sound accidents even though I tried to be as careful as possible, and because "not caring" works...

    Quieten — App by Julian Cowan Hill — Scam? Reviews?

    Thanks for this. I especially resonated with the last paragraph. A while after tinnitus onset, I had some ear wax issues for the first time - and knew instinctively microsuction or syringing would not be a good idea. A highly recommended, expensive ENT seemed extremely visibly irritated when I...

    Lenire — User Experiences and Reviews

    I have been using Lenire since October 8th, and unfortunately it has done very little for me. Having said that, I don't think it literally does nothing; on three or four occasions it seemed to "soften" the harsh tinnitus somewhat for a period. And while using it, I feel unusually sleepy, which...

    Quieten — App by Julian Cowan Hill — Scam? Reviews?

    It is good people are bringing up ENTs, and I can see what @Ed209 is saying. I have spent far more on "fully qualified" ENTs, audiologists, and doctors, and have been far worse treated by them than any less-scientific "tinnitus therapists" or whatnot. Wish I had read this forum beforehand...

    Positive Things Resulting from Tinnitus?

    This is a great thread. I actually felt like asking a similar question myself. You put it well, and it is a positive human trait to find the good in order to get through immense difficulty - to re-frame things. The initial, "milder" tinnitus I had going on from February 2020 did result in some...

    Necessary Evil to Combat Severe Tinnitus — Long-Term Ambien (Zolpidem) Use

    Thank you so much for all your responses. Very helpful. There is much to ponder here, and I have taken on board what has been said. I actually had a strong sense that simply accepting a lack of sleep might actually be an option (for however long that will be), but because of the emphasis that we...

    Necessary Evil to Combat Severe Tinnitus — Long-Term Ambien (Zolpidem) Use

    Hello. I really apologise for bumping my own thread, but I would love it if anyone could answer. All I hear online and from doctors I talk to is horrific warnings about long-term Ambien use. But severe sleep deprivation long term can't be good either. Has anyone here had to work out strategies...

    Necessary Evil to Combat Severe Tinnitus — Long-Term Ambien (Zolpidem) Use

    Hi everyone, Thanks for being such a great community! Most of what one will read online about long term sleeping pill use is very negative. However, since my tinnitus got worse four months ago, on many nights it seems to either be a choice not to sleep, or to take an Ambien and sleep. If I...

    Both Ears Completely Blocked by Earwax — What's the Safest Earwax Removal Method?

    Thank you all so much for your replies. I'm sorry to hear of what has happened to you both, and can already relate (to a lesser degree) as the irrigation done before I knew any better already shifted the tinnitus tone in a not-great way (though not crazily so.) I really do NOT want this tinnitus...

    Both Ears Completely Blocked by Earwax — What's the Safest Earwax Removal Method?

    Hello everyone, I've really enjoyed reading some of the wisdom and helpful insights on this forum. I take everyone's experiences seriously and can relate to many of the tinnitus phenomena reported. One area I know that has come up a number of times is microsuction. I believe what others have...

    Frequency Therapeutics — Hearing Loss Regeneration

    What do people imagine the cost of FX-322 will be? I'm blessed to have lived in the UK and have usually relied on the NHS, so while I have contributed to some drugs, I have no sense about these things. I looked into private tinnitus treatments here, but those measures amounted to around the...

    Frequency Therapeutics — Hearing Loss Regeneration

    Sorry for another probably very daft / obvious question (it is inspiring how “clued-up” so many of you are the various aspects of this, from science to business)... What are the chances of FX-322 entirely falling through at this stage? I don’t mean arriving later than hoped for, or being less...

    Frequency Therapeutics — Hearing Loss Regeneration

    Thank you very much for the warm welcome! And thanks to the posters who answered my question above. I will endeavour to stick to issues around the drug or the associated science should I ask/discuss more here. :-) All the best!

    Frequency Therapeutics — Hearing Loss Regeneration

    Hello everyone. I have been lurking on this forum (and following the development of FX-322) for a year now. I hope posting in this thread first thing is not bad etiquette! I will be watching the presentation and am optimistic about the drug. I just read, however, that the CEO sold 10% of his...
