Thanks @Nick47, it went well in that nothing suggests Meniere’s anymore. There is no large hearing loss or significant vertigo. However, it is difficult when you learn there is no silver bullet, and that time is the best answer. The stranger, but oddly more reassuring part, is that both my ENT...

I can’t offer any advice, but I can certainly sympathize. I’ve been going through an intense spike for the last 2 weeks and haven’t got a clue what, if anything, has caused it. Normally, when my tinnitus spikes, I can pinpoint a reason. It might be a loud noise, a new medication, lack of sleep...

Hi all, I recently became the father of my second child, and all in all, my life has been very stressful over the past years. I’ve been on Mirtazapine for 6 years at 7.5 mg for sleep. I’ve had difficulty waking up early in the morning to help with the kids, so together with my doctors, I...

Did the musical tinnitus go away for you? I’ve also been dealing with musical tinnitus for the past 8 months. I think mine was caused by a combination of factors, including moderate hearing loss, spending about 3 to 4 months in silence due to hyperacusis and regular tinnitus, and being on a...

@Eric N Please update if your spike from the neck ultrasound subsides. I'm currently going through the same thing.

A federal appeals court on Wednesday upheld an almost $1 million penalty against Trump and his attorneys for "sanctionable conduct" in a racketeering lawsuit they brought against Hillary Clinton and other Democrats over the 2016 election. "Mr. Trump is a prolific and sophisticated litigant who...

Hi Please is there a update for this and a good result ? I have been going through exactly the same including bowel pee issues, chest pain neck pain arm pain, my doctors think its mental issues but i never had mental issues like anxiety or depression, please could you help me out and let me...

Caught on to the sham?

Welcome to the world of Chronic Tinnitus. It's an up-front lifetime series of "lectures" on basic science. For instance, the first line of your post says: I’m kind of gobsmacked by that sentence, and my brain immediately goes, “Whoa there!” Causation. And here we are, in the thick of life as a...

No. If I participated in a video meeting, I used the built-in computer speakers. I don't know how well subtitles work out in Zoom, but in Teams and Google Meet, it's okayish.

Great read. It addresses what those of us in the severe category already know to be true. One part of this article I'd like to highlight: Too f**king right. Time for a paradigm shift, indeed.

Notwithstanding the fact that the sham induced a placebo effect, you can't statistically validate the existing Treatment 1 loudness chart without actually having designed the entire trial as a single-arm trial. Ergo, Susan Shore's statement about how well the active treatment performed in...

Hi @Paulie87, your meeting seemed to go well. You may want to read this: Severe Tinnitus: A Brain Disorder Beyond the Ringing Sound

It's lovely to see you @Daniel Lion! You have a beautiful family!

@Vincent R, did you regularly use headphones for work prior to that?

@LivingGhost371, any TFI change within about 15 points is within the placebo range and daily variation. It is more concerning that 2 of the 3 improvers were also within this range. One person did have a very large improvement though. Taking all the studies together, the results are about 50/50.

@Wolfka, yep, preservation it looks like.

Happy Thanksgiving 😊 Daniel calling Daniel. Sculpture, but not a good photo.

Has anyone had success with NeuroMed? The protocol is $5000 and I’m not sure if it’s worth it or just another black hole for my money to fall into.

Check out the post about Neu-002 here in the forum. The researchers there called this synchronous activity a “Parasitic Oscillation Loop.” I also read your reply. The first link about tinnitus and sleep is very interesting. I recently developed chronic tinnitus after undergoing major, painful...

Shoegaze gives you a wall of sound. Reverb and delay are used to sustain notes and chords, while new notes and chords are played. The result is a wall of sound, with all frequencies present all the time. Sometimes you have to concentrate within this wall of sound just to hear the structure of...

I would really like someone to weigh in on this. I went and saw my ENT today. I was fully expecting him to give me a shot of Dexamethasone in the ears, as he has done before when the belief was that I had Ménière’s. Recent inner ear MRI scans and ongoing hearing checks have not proven that...

I am with UCLH as mentioned above, and it is pretty much just telling me to be strong and try to live my life as best I can despite tinnitus. They are being as helpful as they can, but my mindset is pretty stuck with how bad the tinnitus is. I am not sure what any ENT or Neurology can do...

Unfortunately, I had no luck with the Atlas Orthogonal. I had 10 adjustments. The chiropractor said my adjustments were not holding, which he determined was due to my uneven legs. He wanted to see me for at least 3 months. Each session was only 10 minutes long. I have been seeing a Functional...

The election-interference case in Fulton County, Georgia, against President Trump and the remaining co-defendants has been dismissed after the prosecutor who took over the case requested that it be dropped. In January 2024, Fani Willis, who started the case, was dropped after defense attorneys...

I may get flooded with responses, and I actually hope so. Do any of you have Kaiser as your health provider? If yes, I’d love to hear your experience with how well or how poorly Kaiser handles your case. I actually filed a grievance with Kaiser that they never responded to, asking what they do...

Very slowly. Remember that the spike from your daughter whispering was nowhere near enough to cause actual damage. The spikes will fade with time and normal sound exposure. But yes, I know what it’s like. It’s not fun. But there is hope. It’s going to take time, though.

Don’t worry about the Ibuprofen. Almost every medication in the world has tinnitus listed as a reported side effect. They might as well include people who were struck by lightning after taking the pill.

They figured out that they were sloppy with the electrode placement on patient 2, so their theory is that this caused the worsening. I’m going to wait for the results of a wider study before writing this off.

I'm stopping by to wish my fellow Americans a relaxing, quiet Thanksgiving tomorrow. I hope you see, smell, taste, and touch things that bring you joy.

Sorry to hear that you're going through a bad patch, @El BUZZ. My tinnitus has gone into a spike too from a succession of events. It's hard to say exactly what caused it. A smoke alarm going off in the room Getting my flu and COVID jabs for the winter Going to the dentist who wanted to clean...

Link? If you have one.

Teams and Google Meet have a function called Subtitles. Zoom should have it as well. You can have the volume on zero while reading what people are saying. (I started to use the function to avoid noise accidents during video meetings.)

+1. It would be great to get an update on this. I’m surprised it hasn’t been more widely discussed.

A little energy-bending from ATLA's Lion Turtle would surely cure my T

Hi @El BUZZ, from my own experience I know that an emotional factor plays a real role in the perception of tinnitus and in the ability to habituate. When I first got tinnitus 2.5 years ago, I became deeply depressed. I got better over time thanks to antidepressants, CBT, changing my reactions...

If I understand correctly, their research is currently focused on preserving the hearing you have, improving clarity, and adding some decibels. Outer hair cells are responsible for clarity and can enhance sound by about 40 to 60 dB by targeting those cells. If it works, it will be administered...

Hi @Paulie87, Clonazepam is well known to reduce tinnitus and hyperacusis for many. Diazepam only seems to reduce the anxiety. I woke up with mine screaming. When I went to bed it was much quieter and softer. @MindOverMatter, did you notice the same in a setback? Waking up with it screaming...

So I saw my ENT today. As many have said, they don’t have a lot to add; however, he’s a neurotologist, so he’s at the top of the field. He no longer believes Meniere’s is playing a role in my case due to all tests being negative, with no hearing loss or hydrops on the MRI. He also added that...

Hey there, @Pen Walker! How are you? It is great to hear from you and I hope you are doing fine. Yes, I saw an ENT and they did a hearing test, and it has not changed in the last 5 years. The cut in frequencies is still the same. Yes, I definitely have hyperacusis, and my tinnitus has gone from...

Bumping this, it has been 3 years. I am thinking of doing this procedure myself. Does anyone have more feedback or experiences with it? They said they do this procedure weekly for people. It is wild that only 4 or 5 people here can speak about it.

My tinnitus is through the roof after getting a neck ultrasound I don't understand how the test only lasted for 10 to 15 seconds and there was no noise

just wanna smoke weed and make music... what's stopping me? oh yea this brain piercing sound

Sorry @Nick47, you come across as very warm online and I’m sure I misread you. I appreciate you not wanting me to throw money at charlatans. For what it’s worth, I saw my trusted local dentist and he implied the same. He told me it may or may not be related, but he wants a 2nd opinion from a...

Thank you for your well-considered thoughts. As I wrote, I feel that I may have been seeing things that were not actually there. No one is to blame for any of this. I just get really hurt by the thought that I should have somehow known, after 15 years of zero noise-induced setbacks, that a...

Hi there! I developed tinnitus 10 years ago after a childhood plagued with otitis and a life of abusing loud music through headphones, along with an acoustic trauma. I have a 60 dB loss at 8 kHz. I navigated these 10 years reasonably well, with some spikes here and there that always resolved...

I'm in a similar predicament. Did yours resolve?

I noticed they still have Acou082 in the preclinical stage. It’s indicated for age-related hearing loss and chronic hearing loss. I’m getting the impression that this is meant to slow progression rather than regenerate, although I’m open to hearing otherwise. https://www.acousia.com/

@Regis, always interested in a perspective. Did you have symptoms of hyperacusis, like loudness, sound-reactive tinnitus, or pain?

Hi @Paulie87, it may be the way I come across. I’ve been desperately struggling for three weeks now, and I think it affects my compassion in strange ways. I’m also very pragmatic. I didn’t want you handing over money to charlatans, like chiropractors, masseurs, dentists, and others, believing...

I am real. It helped me.

…and when did I ever say that? In fact, I believe I've said almost the opposite. You asked for advice from someone who's actually been through the same experience. What's happened has happened. It can't be undone. There's no purpose in blaming yourself for what occurred, or blaming others as...

Thank you very much for bringing this incredible study to my attention. After reading the published paper in Nature and several success stories with ACRN, I am hoping to try it soon. In the meantime, I am wondering why this treatment is not mentioned more frequently as an option for tinnitus...
