    Tinnitus and Hyperacusis from Pregabalin and Tobramycin Ear Drops

    This is just a life update after almost 1.5 years. Life is good. Things eventually worked out. I am happy for every moment I get to live. Hyperacusis is 99% gone. Tinnitus is still there, and it's kind of loud, but I don't care anymore. I don't wear hearing protection outside now, and I still...

    @MadeleineHope i would highly suggest using an Open MRI machine, they have very low noise levels compared to the new closed ones. and yes 90 was general with earplugs reducing that so it went smooth and painfree.

    Tinnitus and Hyperacusis from Pregabalin and Tobramycin Ear Drops

    Hi, my friend. I am doing much better. My tinnitus is only properly audible in quiet places like my room. It is completely fine outside. My hyperacusis is healed about 90%, I say 90% because loud car horns still make me jump, otherwise my life has returned to normal. I am in my dream job right...

    Magnesium Dramatically Reduced My Lamictal / Ibuprofen-Induced Tinnitus

    I first tried a combined Magnesium supplement of Citrate + Lactate + Aspartate. That helped a lot. Then I went on to Malate for some time, which was not so helpful but I had slight improvements. Then I switched back to the combined one and my recovery boosted again. Currently my hyperacusis is...

    Tinnitus Caused by Middle Ear Infection, Prompted by TRP Ear Drops

    Magnesium Citrate can mess up your bowels, I advise you stop taking that. Glycinate and Malate are easier on the stomach and can be very relaxing. With Glycinate, it basically depends on how your body responds to Glycine. The majority of the people report soothing effect, but a minority does...
