If someone had a severe leg fracture, would you really need a doctor to confirm that their leg is more susceptible to damage than someone who hasn’t broken their leg?

Ah, that’s so sweet of you to say! But didn’t you used to call her a whore? She worked the corners, didn’t she? If she wins, give her a chance. Maybe she’ll teach America how to laugh and love again. Or do you believe fear and hate are what make America great?

Over two months later, still suffering. It has now been two months since my spike began on August 31, 2024, and I am still dealing with what I can only describe as a “head buzz” noise on top of my regular, baseline tinnitus. I’ve had a few days back at baseline during all of this, which has...

She is not strong enough to run this country effectively, no matter what sex she is or what skin color she inherited from her ancestors. If her supporters can't see that now, they will soon enough if she wins.

You can’t get Clonazepam in France anymore. It’s now prescribed exclusively for epilepsy, and only neurologists are authorized to prescribe it to patients.

Why do you think that is? A strong woman, and she’s half Black. Scary stuff, huh? So un-Trumpish, right? Really? Where did you hear that? What does that say about your guy? Even his old “good-time buddy with questionable morals” describes him as pretty ignorant. Maybe you should worry about...

A leading researcher, Dr. Susan Shore, has suggested that tinnitus is often the result of cumulative noise exposure over time. I had chronic tinnitus for 6.5 years without experiencing any anxiety or depression related to it and lived my life as usual. Then, like you, my condition suddenly...

I am very happy that you've finally reached peace. Did you change your diet at all? Alcohol? Medications?

I try to stay busy and not think about the tinnitus, but it’s hard because it’s always there. Painting has helped, and I’m nearly finished with my current piece. I was considering talking to my doctor about increasing my antidepressant dosage. I don’t really want to, but it seems to help me cope.

I’m sorry to hear about your experience, and I hope better days are ahead for you. I agree that everyone should take a sensible approach to protecting their hearing. Personally, I believe that living life as I would have without tinnitus is essential. When people adopt this approach, assuming...

Why not go further? Why not have it be a county's decision? Or a city's decision? Or a neighborhood's decision? Or even better, a woman's decision.

I thought you attended Trump's MSG rally and changed your mind about the Common Sense party. Many people think Kamala Harris is the worst Presidential nominee in American history. She is a low IQ person, as you should be aware of.

I don’t mind who anyone votes for, but I have a question for the Trump supporters here: if he loses, will you accept the results of the election? Apologies if this has already been asked. My sincere hope is that over the next four years, we can begin to make meaningful changes that improve life...

Everybody already knows her position on abortion. The biggest problem with her campaign is that we do not what she is planning to do about many other important issues.

Have been coughing non stop.. wonder where will my H be by the time cough goes away. Any suggestions??

Look up @Mymlan's post in the Success Stories section. Her tinnitus began after exposure to a jackhammer in a tunnel. It took about three years, but her tinnitus has nearly faded away. Healing can be a slow process, sometimes taking years. Start embracing the TPP motto: Time, Patience...

Because it's an important issue that strikes a chord with women voters of all ages. A major demographic that could very well cost Trump the election.

Abortion policies under Roe vs. Wade were among the most permissive in the world, if not the most. Many people have religious objections to it, and others consider abortion to be a violation of the civil and human rights of the unborn. Abortion laws are best left to the individual states to...

Just checking in on you. Are you back in the gym? I'm feeling a little more miserable with it getting dark at 5pm. My pain and loudness hyperacusis has been better the last week. I now need to mentally get engaged in life a bit more again.

I still have raging T and pain H

Harris is up 3 points in Iowa. Damn, what the heck... If this is even remotely close to being true (I mean, this is a Seltzer and Co. poll we're talking about here!), then Trump's toast. If Harris manages to win IA (a state where Donald Trump has won by significant margins), then it is very...

Yes, it has improved quite a bit. I’m not sure if it has completely gone, but it’s still much better. Passing emergency vehicles near my house no longer cause lasting palinacousis.

@Notreve7766, many people here have experienced setbacks from loud noise exposure. After developing hyperacusis and tinnitus, I did my best to carry on for two and a half years. The hyperacusis had improved significantly, so I decided to go out to a few bars for my birthday, wearing hearing...

There are millions of people over the decades who have habituated to loud tinnitus and now perceive it as a minor annoyance. At the same time, there are millions with mild to moderate tinnitus who are severely distressed by it. Just because there are around 20,000 sufferers on Tinnitus Talk who...

Find the threshold of your limitations, the point you can tolerate, and live your life, because our time on earth is limited, and none of us know what tomorrow brings. For those of us with tinnitus, there’s always a worry about reaching a severe level. You mentioned that you’re already at that...

Great to hear your story, @Marin. I think I’m just starting my journey and going through a similar experience. May I ask—do you need to say the DNRS rounds out loud, or can you just recite them in your mind? Huge thanks for your detailed posts!

I'm so glad I researched Quietum Plus on Tinnitus Talk as I was about to order 3 bottles. Shame on them for this scam!

I find that they thud because they’re not tight enough to prevent that noise when I walk. Even with earplugs, I still hear the impact noise with each step. How do you avoid this? For me, they work well when sitting, but they’re not great when I’m moving, or at least I worry that the thud might...

I’ve had tinnitus since 2021, which I believe started after a gunshot incident. I’ve also had TMJ issues for years, which I think might be contributing to my tinnitus as well. For a long time, I stopped using my retainers because I was feeling fine, but a few weeks ago, I went through a lot of...

Hi @emmie, We know that tinnitus distress often feeds off attention, so it’s possible that this time of year triggers increased focus on it, leading to these challenging Octobers. I’d recommend avoiding Google searches, as that tends to increase attention on the symptoms and can make the...

Hi @Nick47, I understand that choosing this approach is a decision many people will make, and if it feels right for them, then it absolutely is the right choice. However, I sometimes wonder if our heightened tinnitus symptoms are actually a result of increased focus on them. Are we...

I remember thinking that I would never go to the cinema or attend sporting events again. In the end, it was attempting these activities and realizing I was fine afterward that allowed me to enjoy them as I did before. This is just my experience, though. We’re all different, and you should do...

It’s probably best for an expert to provide their opinion. Logically, it doesn’t feel right to me that some people would be more or less susceptible than others, but I’m not an expert.

Shock poll from the gold standard of polling in Iowa:

H got worse. Possibly due to lamotrigine. Pain all the time. Have to wear protection in quiet room. Trying to ride it out, been about a month. Struggling. Lost so many things since the first time I got nox. Again. Hard to keep the hope alive. Pray for me.

If they had, they would be in prison!

With the election just a few days away, all of us should prepare for our preferred candidates to lose because nobody has the slightest idea of what the hell will happen.

Hey, @PDodge! I remember you. We had somewhat similar stories. I’m glad to hear you’re doing better. I was doing well for years, too, but I made the mistake of risking my ears by going in front of loud music. I got cocky, and now I’m paying for it with the worst spike I’ve ever experienced. I’m...
