@Samantha R Thanks - it is so hard to be a mom of a kid with tinnitus because I can only go off of what he is telling me - I can't hear it myself. He definitely reports all day long, "it's louder" "it was softer and now it's louder" "it's louder than ever" "this morning it was quiet and now...

I couldn't agree more. My son had a firecracker explode next to his ear. We were out of town, went to two urgent cares, saw 2 docs one of which consulted with an ENT. Then I called my pediatrician at home who also consulted with an ENT. Then when back home, we saw the department head of the...

I love this post. I can't help but wonder if why you had such a dramatic response after your first tinnitus clinic visit was because you were talking to an "expert" who had conviction about his opinion about the causes. Part of my son's problem (he has T from firecracker explosion) is he can...

@Bassplayer How long were you in the panic phase and the obsession phase?

@Shera He got it July 6, 2018 - firecracker exploded next to his ear. If you click on my profile name, my original post (I think my only post), tells the full story. :-(

@Kara77 How long did you take prednisone and at what dosage? At what point during the prednisone treatment did you go silent? It sounds like because your cheeks got chubby it might have been a longer course than my son was given (7 days x 60 mg). I am curious because my son definitely has a...

@sjtinguy ... that last video I listened to and my hearing is a bit on the sensitive side but those tones really seem like they would irritate the heck out of my son's ear. They almost sound like someone is dropping forks on a tile floor. How loudly do you listen to it and how long? Also, can...

I continue to thank everyone who is responding to me- literally every single response helps me even if I don't write you a follow up note. @Lane - I hope you will keep me posted about how your home unit works. Thank you for the details on the Hbot pressure. @TomPearson it is interesting that...

There are so many thoughtful and caring replies to me, and they are all so helpful. Thank you to everyone who has taken the time to write me and share your insights, hopes and experiences. I very much appreciate you.

@Lane thank you for your links- I watched a few videos and they were uplifting and encouraging. I need to try to figure out how to get my teenager to embrace something like that, that is not so black and white. It is my speed for sure and makes sense to me. Regarding Hbot, we have a bunch of...

@cspc Holy Cow, I just looked and ALL the supplements I am giving my son for his tinnitus contain MgStearate. Where do you get supplements that don't contain that?

Sorry if this is already well known on this forum, but my son's pediatrician just told me he only takes supplements that are manufactured in Germany because there, they regulate supplements and the U.S. does not. He feels he is more likely to be getting a better quality more unadulterated...

@SugarMagnolia yes you are exactly right. Tons of crowd noise, shouting, P.A. announcements, doors slamming, whistles blowing, bells ringing and the dreaded fire drills... you all can probably feel my dread right now. (Although I am not sharing my fear with my son.) We are going to get fit...

@threefirefour one question for you... you said not to use alts... I don't know what that is, can you please explain. THanks!

@threefirefour you are right in that I am a noob. But you are wrong in that I "figured it out". In my mom of teenagers world, that smiley face in response to your comment would mean, "ain't that the truth" or "you are so right!" So you interpreted my smiley face in the exact opposite way I...

@Autumnly thank you for your insights. I think you are right, you just can't tell a teenager to think positively about something new that he hates and that is driving him crazy. I will make sure I am careful about that! :)

@RockyDoctah I see that you live in 'Murica LOL, so do we. Thank you for your reply. It is really helpful to hear from other teens dealing with this. Part of my sons problem is that he is a stubborn teen so he resists a lot of the help I try to give him especially when I tell him about the...

@TuneOut Thank you for such a thoughtful response! I hadn't thought of the fact that he is also trying to recover from an emotional and physical trauma beyond the T & A themselves, so that is helpful for me. Can I ask for you to explain more about what you mean by "not enabling him"? :-)...

Hello... I wanted to let you know I got your message but for some reason, I can't reply to messages. I need to find the tech support for this site. There is no "start conversation" button for me and there is no "reply" button. But thank you for your message!

@Davey126 and @drivera2592 thank you for your messages- I am not able to "reply to messages" for some reason- there is no reply button anywhere. Do you know how I reply to a conversation someone started with me?

Hi Davey126...if you can see this, thank you for your message. There is something wrong because for some reason, there is no way for me to reply to your conversation.... do you know how I can reply? There is no reply button....

@robHing when this happened we were in the boonies. We went to a local urgent care and he was given no treatment. We were told we just have to wait and see what happens. Since then, he has had full hearing evaluation (which came back normal) and has seen a pediatric ENT at our local...

Hello, I am writing on behalf of my 14 year old son who has had tinnitus and hyperacusis for 5 weeks following a firecracker exploding about 2 feet from his left ear. He is going through regret, depression, hopelessness and desperation and believes that since it has been 5 weeks, it will never...
