    Dental Hygienist's Ultrasonic Tool Made My Tinnitus Much Worse and Destroyed All Progress

    Yes, I prefer hand-scaling all of my teeth because I think it does a better job. You can choose to polish them if you like, but I prefer not to. Since my teeth aren’t stained, I don’t feel the need for polishing.

    Tinnitus from a Very Loud 3-Hour Concert

    Adjusting takes time, so in the meantime, try to find sleep aids that help you get 6-7 hours of rest, as this is crucial. Also, consider reducing your sodium intake and cutting back on caffeine a bit—no need to give it up entirely. You might also want to download an app for meditation and...

    Unilateral Tinnitus Helped by Valsalva Maneuver/Finger in Ear

    Please don't get an ear tube; it could worsen your tinnitus. Flonase can spike tinnitus, and so can saline rinse. You need to be careful and try it in moderation. You want to do the Valsalva as little as possible; you're popping your eardrum in and out, so it's okay to do it a few times, but you...

    After a Decade of Habituation, My Tinnitus Is Back After Ultrasonic Dental Cleaning

    It takes time to adjust. You mentioned you were taking Trazodone. I didn't like Trazodone. Everyone responds differently. A 1/4 of 0.5 mg of Klonopin, with 1 mg of Remeron, can help you sleep well. You can gradually back off and take it only when needed. It is the perfect cocktail for me, and...

    Turn off all the lights an hour before bed, take 2 mg of Melatonin, do breathing exercises, and meditate. This will relax you and help you sleep. Having the same daily routine of turning everything off would help. If you can get Klonopin, it will help you sleep better.

    Be careful when doing the Valsalva maneuver as it can cause your eardrum to flutter, popping it in and out, possibly leading to a spike in your tinnitus. It's okay to do it a few times a day. If you can tolerate a Sudafed, I would take a small dose, 10 mg daily. It will dry you out and...
