There are already numerous treatments that people on Tinnitus Talk can attest to. None of them work for everyone because, as we all know, every case of tinnitus is different. Yes, there are classifications and common symptoms associated with different types and causes of tinnitus, but if it were...
Riding a motorcycle might worsen tinnitus. I own a 900cc Triumph, and it's fairly loud, although I always wear a helmet. However, I don’t use earplugs. After riding, my tinnitus spikes slightly but eventually returns to what I perceive as a moderate level—not severe, but not mild either. It...
Same. Ditto. Lather, rinse, repeat. That’s what most political threads are like on most message boards. There is no engagement on issues, just lobbing grenades from behind ideological barricades.
I was recommended Prednisone, so I decided to do some research. When some people experience an inner ear infection accompanied by sudden hearing loss, treatment with Prednisone within the first three to four weeks can reduce the inflammation, and the tinnitus disappears. It was a long shot, but...
Decaf usually has about 5 mg of caffeine, whereas Diet Mt Dew has 35-40 mg per can, and brewed coffee has 135-150 mg/cup. I've done extensive studies. https://www.mayoclinic.org/healthy-lifestyle/nutrition-and-healthy-eating/in-depth/caffeine/art-20049372
I've been taking Magnesium for four months, and it seems to keep my tinnitus manageable. It may be a composite result of many other things as well: prayer, reading Psalms, quiet walks, and some masking in the middle of the night when I cannot sleep.
I agree with you. I have read dozens of cases where SSRIs have damaged people severely. The best advice I have received has to do with learning to be at peace with myself, the world, and God and not allow myself to spiral into anger or severe depression.
It would be impossible for one person on this thread to change another person's opinion. As I have read this entire thread, people are polar opposites of each other and are primarily just lobbing hate bombs.
Politics causes such division it makes me sick. And I have been involved in the...
I am so sorry that you are housebound. After reading about 5 or 6 stories here, I decided I would not be housebound, so I started doing the things that make me happy. I now take walks regularly and find places where the sound is not loud. I coached baseball for 15 years and must be very careful...
How true. She does want a Constitutional Amendment to guarantee Abortion in every state. Probably late-term abortion as well. For this, I oppose her vehemently.
I almost quit in the first 6 months, but stayed on and talked to my manager. I told him I needed time to adjust to this horrid Tinnitus. He gave it to me.
Thank you for taking the time to speak with them and report back.
It's too bad we are all kept in the dark. It gives me absolutely ZERO confidence in Auricle.
I've been on this roundabout for six months, and it is destroying every part of my life except my faith. People don't ask me how I am anymore. Most of my friends avoid me or don't answer my texts.
One guy who has had tinnitus for 20 years has checked in on me weekly. If it were not for him...
He's a joke. I am a long-time, intimately involved political Minnesotan. Walz is a blowhard who is in a state full of hard-working people. If it were not for the city dwellers in Minneapolis, he would never get elected.
Golfing is a good sport, but I only started after I was 55 years old. My wife and I do a par 3 course near our house. Handicap is not something that I have gotten good enough to determine.
I competed in Powerlifting in college and have continued it throughout my life. Of course, not using as heavy weights as I did when I was 25. It keeps me from getting fat.
My tinnitus stops for an hour or two after moderate to high-level exercise, and I love it. Then it comes back, and I do not know why. My blood pressure is normal.
It took me almost five months to make any headway at all. About two to three weeks later, I started exercising and found that it helped me sleep better. I pushed myself harder and harder. I listened to talks and sometimes music while I exercised. It made just a little difference. When I started...
I'd give it all up if my tinnitus was healed.
This statement by @Markku is saddening. The timelines that people mention here are normally one year after FDA approval, which has not happened yet. So, we're talking 2-3 years.
It has taken long years of not spending, putting money into savings, and a wife who helps me keep our budget tight. But God has also blessed me with employment that I can do from home and managers who understand tinnitus. The VP of my department has tinnitus and has made it clear that this is a...
$3,000-$4,000 is not that much. Considering how much tinnitus impacts my life, the device is worth every penny I can find. If it were $10,000, I would not blink once.
I have been in the insurance business for years and have worked for America's largest health insurance company. Medical...
He has an online business marketing to businesses that he will continue. The questions that concern taxation are: Does he continue to register his business as an American business and pay taxes here since his clients are here, or does he pay taxes in Australia?
Positive stories like yours give me hope. I just read yours, and it encouraged me. I am doing similar things: exercising, walking, and working on reducing anxiety without medication. I am afraid of anti-anxiety medications. I try to avoid reading horror stories and focus on being positive, using...
If you are still within the 2-week window, you can ask an AuD to put you on a Prednisone taper. They say it can help if you have inflammation in your inner ear.
If it is tied to your pulse, it might be a blocked carotid artery. You might have them check that out.
I always save money for contingencies, so I have about that much, but I also have a home equity line of credit, and if it costs more than I have in savings, I will pull the money out in a heartbeat.
Several people here are well-versed in clinical studies and statistical analysis of such...
