My advice to anyone dealing with this is to live your life and try not to focus on it or talk about it too much. I know that’s not easy. Also, don’t chase after a miracle pill or cure. I’ve been there, done that, with zero results. In fact, I think I may have made it worse by listening to one of...

The thought occurred to me the other day: We know that there seem to be several types of tinnitus. There are different responses among tinnitus sufferers to the same treatment: some improve, some get worse, and some are even cured. Once the Bionics Institute puts its machinery on the market...

Okay, thanks for the help. My main issues are fullness and tinnitus. I think I’ll give it a try; it feels like I need to do something to improve the situation.

I have emailed the study organizer.

Dear @LulaLula, As a general rule, it’s best to undergo HBOT as soon as possible after noise trauma. Research by Körpinar et al. concluded that the earlier, the better. There’s also a YouTube video by Dr. Jason Sonners where he states the same—early treatment is preferable, although he has seen...

I contacted the study organizer, and there is an optional MRI component. Some of the hearing tests reach 85 dB, which might be an issue for me, but I’ve applied to be part of the trial.

Never thought I would need a peltor to fill the coffee machine with coffee beans. Yes, I drink coffee. Coffee is great with a Belgian waffle, at least there is still something I can enjoy.

If any Dutch speakers could help inquire, I’d be very grateful—I’m extremely curious whether the implant destroys residual hearing. The criteria for joining the study suggest it might not, but my attempt with Google Translate in Dutch seems to have been ignored.

Hi again, It’s been two years since my last update. I’ve had a good life with my tinnitus. At one point, I think it even went away for a short period. Last year, I received a promotion to a managerial position at work. It went well overall, but the job was stressful, so I looked for an easier...

The video of Trump in the garbage truck is priceless. I wonder if Biden was deliberately sabotaging Kamala's chances when he referred to half the country as "garbage." Perhaps he said it as a favor to Trump, to earn amnesty. There is great potential in a Trump presidency. With Musk in his...

Hi - I'm sorry it's been a few days since you've written this. I took Prednisolone after experiencing barotrauma two months ago. I started the course eight days after the trauma. At that time, I had ear pain, mastoid aching, and fluid buildup behind my eardrum, along with two new tinnitus...

@tomytl, I just got confirmation: it’s for acquired hearing loss caused by Cisplatin, noise exposure, and aging.

Hi buddy! Do you use hearing aids in your daily life?

@Alberte, Clonazepam reduces tinnitus in 66% of patients. For most, it takes 12–24 hours to lower the volume when taken occasionally. It also helps reduce anxiety, typically within about 2 hours.

In Kelly Assouly’s thesis, tinnitus pitch matching was performed, so this approach likely only works for tonal tinnitus—similar to bimodal neurostimulation, as promoted by Brai3n for Lenire in Ghent.

Hello everyone! I just want to make sure I understand (English is not my first language). Does Clonazepam help by calming you down, or does it actually reduce the volume of your tinnitus?

how’s it going? Seeing you have tried a lot. Can you recommend anything for fullness and tinnitus with feeling of bad hearing but good hearing test. Thanks

There’s often confusion between hearing damage and tinnitus damage. If your tinnitus is reactive, as it seems to be, you may experience worsened tinnitus from noise exposure, even if it doesn’t damage your hearing. The safest approach is to protect your ears more diligently than someone...

Thank you for sharing these updates and for being such a strong advocate for yourself. I believe your decision to seek treatment when you did may have saved your hearing and prevented a lifetime of debilitating tinnitus. Here’s why I think this: In April 2021, like so many others, I received a...

I mentioned previous times that Trump wants to get rid of the Affordable Care Act, which provides healthcare for 40 million Americans and additional healthcare protections for many millions more. Now, they are saying they want to get rid of Affordable Health Care in the first 100 days if Trump...

I can tell you, there’s a Norwegian sitting in his jail cell right now, thinking this is a good start.

I'm curious as to the reason why things went wrong here. Isn't it easier to control the dosage of the liquid version compared to cutting or shaving pills?

I’m currently on Clonazepam 0.5 mg, and my plan is to taper it slowly: first to 0.375 mg, then 0.25 mg, and finally to 0.125 mg. I hope to do this over about two weeks. Ten days ago, I had a spike and temporarily increased the dose to 2.0 mg, so getting back down to 0.5 mg feels like progress...

The decadent and dishonest are getting nervous.

Thanks guys for your responses! I’m currently experiencing extreme tinnitus, intense pressure throughout my body—especially in my head—as well as tingling, burning, and prickling sensations in my arms, legs, feet, and face. I also have insomnia and numb, tingling feet. All of these symptoms...
