I am sick and tired of these flu induced ear and hearing issues. My left ear has been clogged for two weeks now making me feel like I cant hear with that ear. I feel pressure in my ears. I mostly hear tinnitus.

Is it a class-action suit that’s being considered? I know a lot of people here jumped in during the boom period. My opinion? I’d leave it to the American lawyers. Many of these cases are settled out of court, and the legal environment in the U.S. is entirely different. Just keep in mind that...

I would say no. It's got no evidence at all.

Dear @LulaLula, I understand your struggle, and I hope the attached article provides some guidance. I had my first sessions of HBOT in 1996, starting 77 days after an acoustic trauma when I was 32 years old. It wasn’t a complete cure, but I’d say it helped by about 40%. My hypothesis is that...

@UKBloke, hello PAL, I wanted to get your thoughts on this. It seems that the surgical approach is similar to that of a cochlear implant, but I’m having trouble understanding where exactly the electrode is placed. It mentions the promontory bone, but when I look at the anatomy of the inner ear...

Only a damn fool would vote for Harris-Walz IMO.

Okay, thanks. I think I might be able to reach 7-8 sessions in a week, maybe about 4 months after the acoustic trauma. I’m debating whether or not I should go through with it.

Good luck, America!

The safest option is not to use either. Before you know it, you might find yourself lurking on this forum every day, with nothing else you feel you can do, wishing you had never used headphones or IEMs.

After reading the work of Megan Beers Wood and reflecting on my own experiences, I would say yes. Why take the risk?

I’m sorry things haven’t improved to the level you’d hoped by now. That said, try to keep reminding yourself that you’ve been on an upward trajectory. From what I’ve seen in many cases, it often takes longer than a few months for things to heal and for the volume to settle down. If it helps...

Yes, that’s possible, but I’ve seen a scientific paper (I don’t remember the authors) that concluded it’s not effective. According to Dr. Jason Sonners, you should use at least 2.0 ATA.

Any type of vibration, even just driving down the road, instantly spikes my tinnitus. However, I haven’t yet determined how harmful intense vibrations might be in the long term. After all, sound itself is just vibrations, and intense vibrations can feel incredibly loud, so I figure it might...

Maybe try going without the earmuffs to see if it helps. I realize this isn’t ideal for overall noise, but in my experience, hard plastic earmuffs can make low-frequency rumbling even louder unless they’re fitted uncomfortably tight. For me, they only seem effective against sharp, higher-pitched...

Yes, ear protection can feel like a never-ending challenge and is often difficult to get just right. Hard plastic-covered earmuffs are convenient, but they come with drawbacks. Bumping them can be loud and irritating, and unless they’re uncomfortably tight against your head, low-frequency...

Hello i also developed dycasusis after steroid injections from my arm are you any better? and tininitus

@Cmspgran New routines would be getting some part time work in again. I'm self employed and had been working this yr upto September. Then back in the gym. I have asked GP about 10mg Nortriptyline and waiting to hear back. Other than that crack on with house jobs I was doing. I had to suspend...

Is it possible to do two HBOT sessions per day? I’m currently 3.5 months into having tinnitus after an acoustic trauma.

Joe Rogan, recently referred to by Bloomberg as "widely accepted as the most popular podcaster on Earth," has endorsed Donald Trump for president. He credits Elon Musk for influencing his decision, calling him "the great and powerful Elon Musk." Rogan said, on X, that Musk "makes what I think...

Can anyone tell me whether you have to listen to ACRN for six hours straight or can it be a total time of six hours IE, three in the morning and three in the evening. Thanks

Making my prediction. This is my current map for the 2024 elections: Kamala Harris wins. It's going to be a bit similar to 2020. Key takeaways for me. — At this point, I’m pretty confident Harris has the blue wall states—specifically Pennsylvania, Wisconsin, and Michigan—locked in. The...

Thank you for your response. You seem very knowledgeable about tinnitus and spikes. I do have somewhat significant hearing loss in my tinnitus-affected ear, which was diagnosed years ago. I have always had a slight hereditary loss in that ear since birth, confirmed by many hearing tests as a...

Six months since my tinnitus worsening, plus ten years since joining Tinnitus Talk. Grateful that my tinnitus has become less intrusive since worsening, and grateful for the wonderful people and great community here!

After moving to this new apartment I understood that you can't escape dogs at 6 am. Not possible.

We need to let it go. Unfortunately, those who questioned the initial results and choice of outcome measures as “fishy” were shouted down. In the future, we need to ensure that people can freely challenge such claims and point out potential issues to those who may be overly trusting. Any...

We should all collectively join forces and sue David Lucchino for the false hype and misleading claims. There have only been two trials against him, and the court keeps siding with him. We need to create more noise. Such a greedy Ashkenazi Italian. I had high hopes for FX-322 and lost...

I have this or something very similar.

That’s my understanding as well.

Month 4 Update: No improvements. Things have stayed about the same since the beginning. Each day is a small struggle to make it to the evening and go to sleep, only to start over again the next day. The slight improvement I noticed in month 3 turned out to be due to Clonazepam, which is known...

She would not be in the White House today if she did not trade her body for political jobs at the taxpayer's expense. I don't know how else to describe it. Forget the gallantry; she's not worth it. She's had her chance for four years, never spoke to the border guards once, and she failed to...

The common sense party, you say? Do you mean the folks who believe the Democrats can control the weather and are out there engineering hurricanes to destroy red states? Honestly, you might want to consider rebranding to the Conspiracy Party.

stay strong people

My appointment was rescheduled from that October date since I didn't have a ride. I since arranged a ride - and it's this week. I read over a few links, including this one: https://www.tinnitustalk.com/threads/ent-appointment-what-to-do-what-tests-not-to-do.27124/ I’m uncertain about what to do...

Do you mean like last time? So, you regard them as your "judge and jury"? Why don't you just say no?

@Tim Moore, the study you linked focused on cochlear implants. From my understanding, this intervention does not actually go into the cochlea itself.

You’re comparing hearing loss to a leg fracture, but these are not the same. The hearing system isn’t like a bone breaking. I don’t think it’s as straightforward as you suggest, and I believe people should remain open-minded to the possibility that they can continue living as they did before a...

Hi @JohanR, On reflection, do you think it was the medication that caused the symptoms (the tripling of your tinnitus), or could it have been your body monitoring for any changes after taking the tablet? I ask because one tablet is a very small dose, and I believe that SSRIs can be an...

My tinnitus is very loud these days too, so you are not alone in dealing with this horrid condition. I understand your concern about driving and the possibility of airbags deploying in an accident. Try to hold on to the positive hearing test results, even with the airbags having gone off. This...

Hi @Smartone202, Experiencing baseline days is really positive, and I am sure these will become more frequent as you adjust to this latest episode. Have you considered a hearing test to rule out any potential hearing loss after the loud night out you had? It is more likely that the increased...

I’ve always thought of tinnitus as something that adjusts in response to our level of hearing loss—the greater the hearing loss, the more prominent the tinnitus. Did you experience any specific incident in gym class that might have triggered this reaction? I believe my tinnitus developed as a...

You expressed it much better than I did in my somewhat clumsy attempt a few posts back. Democracy, respect, and tolerance; they are all interconnected and are what made America, Europe, and the West prosperous. Out there in the more remote regions, they have only dictators and emperors. Every...

Seems cliche af. But Mondays are always hell on my tinnitus. It's definitely my work schedule adjusting back to graveyard shift after the weekend I assume. But dammit it's like slowely acclimating all week just to go back to square one. *sigh*

You can still get Clonazepam if you find the right neurologist. Of course, it may take consulting with several doctors before one prescribes Clonazepam specifically for tinnitus.

Hi @Jon P, I just saw your note about how you quieted your tinnitus. Has the supplement mixture continued to work? Kind regards, Andrew

Trump losing will be perfectly acceptable, as long as it is not due to cheating by the Democrats. If foul play is discovered, Elon Musk and Vivek Ramaswamy will not idly stand by and neither should others.

It appears that this clinical trial builds on previous studies they’ve conducted involving an implant and electrical stimulation. I did a search on Google Scholar under the name Kelly Assouly, and there are quite a few studies. One published in 2024 showed particularly good results! So, this...
