If Trump wins, there might be some riots, looting, and other violence but the country seems pretty calm despite the close polls. Harris and Walz each have substantial track records of supporting those who riot.

Mine started after COVID-19 too, and I thought I was going to die around Christmas; my COVID-19 was that bad. Now I’m dealing with severe tinnitus and extreme sensitivity to high-frequency noises. It’s hell.

I wasn't sure whether to start a new thread or add to this one, as my experience relates to two specific points: At least twice a week, I actually hear my tinnitus during my dreams. It's "wonderful" (ironically) to realize that even in sleep, tinnitus can still bother me. In these dreams, I...

A quick reflection on recent history: remember the “Arab Spring” a few years back? That’s how democracy operates in places like Tunisia and Afghanistan. It started when a fruit vendor, denied a permit renewal in an arrogant manner, tragically took his own life. The population, fed up, erupted in...

Although I am French, I am committed to keeping Tinnitus Talk in English for the benefit of everyone. However, I wanted to share information specifically for French speakers: Höra, an app that offers a sound level meter and a speech-in-noise test. This app is supported by the French Foundation...

Acquired, however so.

See my ancient post. To be more precise: I had been taking 8 drops of Clonazepam for over a year, following the advice of my oto-neurologist, without any noticeable effect. So, with my oto-neurologist’s approval, I decided to gradually increase the dosage. At 21 drops, I began to experience...

Hello how is your distortions

Has anyone experienced fleeting tinnitus along with muffled hearing that lasted for several hours? Yesterday, I had a pretty terrifying experience while out for dinner. I suddenly went completely deaf in my left ear, accompanied by a loud, intense tinnitus. I almost took 60mg of Prednisone...

I’m not entirely sure I understand this. Hypothetically, if someone has hearing loss where 50% is attributed to genetics and the other 50% to noise exposure, and assuming the drug works perfectly, does that mean it can only restore 50% of the lost hearing capability? What other types of...

This is incorrect. It appears that this refers not to the ongoing trial but rather to a previous one focused on preclinical aspects.

That video is from seven years ago; it was not for this campaign. In his debate with Kamala, he made his current policy toward Obamacare clear, but she chose to ignore it. "What we will do is we're looking at different plans," Trump said at September's debate, noting that he had "concepts of a...

is morse code gone?

Symptoms of noise exposure often appear with a delay and can change over the following six months. Hyperacusis may initially worsen, then lessen, and possibly worsen again as the brain adjusts to a temporary or permanent change in hearing thresholds. Tinnitus, while often perceived as sounds in...

my morse code nonstop in right ear

how is your distortions?

Huuuge mold issue in my room. It explains why my nose felt stuffed. Might have something to do with the slightly increased tinnitus of those past 2 days. At least I hope.

The charity Tinnitus UK is facing financial trouble, but it’s difficult for me to feel sympathetic. They have put out an urgent appeal for donations. However, after 50 years, we still have no treatments, and their 2022 offer to engage with other support and patient groups was brushed aside...

I think I’m in the same boat as you. Just a few minutes of exposure to loud music (when I should have been wearing earplugs) has, one week later, left me with bad tinnitus, reduced hearing (even though my test results are similar to previous ones), and the fear that it may never go away...

Missed you, my friend! I hope you’re doing well in all aspects of your life. I’ve stopped weighing in on this thread but still keep up with U.S. and international news. I often find myself perplexed or still forming my stance on some of the big issues, wars, and more. I’m still listening to my...

My tinnitus worsened overnight after October 25th for no apparent reason. I was never exposed to loud sounds. I was sleeping when fleeting tinnitus occurred, and I went deaf for a moment; this happened twice, also on October 27th. Now my right ear has severe tinnitus and moderate dysacusis.

Hello, @Elmer B Fuddled, I was thinking about you today and just wanted you to know that you’re important, valued, and loved by me and everyone else here with “screeching ears” on this forum. You’re blessed to have a wonderful, supportive partner to help you through this. Sending you warm...

Hello hopefully you are ok are you Turkish?

Completely different. Tone matching is just an outcome. This directly stimulates the auditory nerve using only electrical stimulation. No sound is involved. Yes, I thought so, too.

There are no guarantees. Read the literature on the cochlear implant thread. What I think is irrelevant, as I’m not an ENT surgeon. Speak to one. What does your audiogram look like? Introduce yourself in the relevant category and provide some background.

The trial at Mayo Clinic has been amended. Patient enrollment 21 (previously 9). The end date has been brought forward from 12/2026 to 06/2025. The trial was suspended due to financial and resource issues. ➡ ClinicalTrials.gov: Cochlear Promontory Stimulation for Treatment of Tinnitus

Are you alive h ello i ruined my life aswell

I don’t want to die, but a week ago, while I was sleeping, my moderate tinnitus suddenly became severe for no apparent reason. I used to be able to ignore it when I was outside, but now it’s audible everywhere. It’s such a high-pitched tone, around 14,000 or 15,000 kHz, that I feel devastated...

Hey dude how loud is your tinnitus mine is 14.000 khz very high pitch unmaskable since 1 week can this get better?

Please, advise me.

Would you kindly explain how "I never even THOUGHT about ending the Affordable Care Act" and the fact that he's been parroting "We're going to repeal and replace Obamacare" a million times adds up coherently in your mind? Are you unable to see the contradiction, or do you simply not care? Do you...

Normal sounds are amplified. What can go wrong...

I’m not really sure, but I started experiencing symptoms as soon as I switched. I also began tapering almost immediately, so maybe I should have held steady first. I didn’t have any experience with the liquid form, and since then, I’ve read that switching can feel like a dosage cut for some...

Are there hearing aids with amplification up to 10-12 kHz to compensate for the loss at these frequencies?

CBS has lawyers; let them handle it. The networks did everything they could to spread lies, vilify, ignore him, and support his opponents unconditionally. In October, Trump's total assets rose to over 8 billion dollars (American), so he's not doing it for the money. The dishonest tactics of the...

Good evening, and thank you for having me. I have been following this forum daily for almost two years. Like many here, my story is similar, but I hope to ask a few questions that haven't been raised repeatedly (I have used the search function consistently over the last two years!). My story...

Trump sues CBS for 10 billion dollars for election interference. Because why not? Seems a bit desperate. I wonder if CBS is going to counter-sue for 2.5 decillion dollars.

It appears that the electrode never enters the cochlea, which would prevent any residual hearing loss. It seems similar to the stimulation method that Dr. Carlson used in his initial trial here: https://translational-medicine.biomedcentral.com/articles/10.1186/s12967-022-03271-4

Hello, everyone, Like many of us, I've been dealing with a high pitched beep in my ears for about two months now. It all began a few hours after a reenactment weekend. Even after walking through a quiet museum with no issues following musket fire, a particularly loud cannon went off...

I’m certain that anxiety is a major factor in causing tinnitus spikes for me. So, focusing on reducing anxiety is key, though it can be challenging. I have some beliefs that might resonate with others—one being that my tinnitus worsens with excessive use of digital devices. Since my tinnitus...

I also experience those electrical overhead power line sounds in my head. Sometimes I can ignore them by focusing intently on my work, but other times, especially when I’m alone, those noises become incredibly annoying. Please keep us updated on your progress. Good luck!

Thank you, @Nick47!

Hi Erika - nice to meet you! Wondering if I could ask you some questions about your lumomed experience? I just finished 20 sessions myself and like you, it really spiked the worst / reactive tone I have and hasn’t gone back down. Wanted to see if that ended up levelling out for you (and how long...

I drive many hours a day for work. For years I was doing it with earplugs in the majority of the day but nowadays I'll drive most of a 12 hour day without them in and it doesn't effect me at all 👍

Yup. That's how it's done.

They play a low sound that completely masks the tinnitus. Then, they turn it off, allowing you to hear your tinnitus in full detail. Over time, you get used to it, and it no longer seems like such a big deal. It’s similar to going to the beach and then getting into a car. On the beach, you hear...

So, you don’t think a cochlear implant could make reactive tinnitus worse? Some people report that they can’t hear their regular tinnitus when the processors are on. Would the same effect apply to reactive tinnitus?

I don’t think it pinpoints the location of the tinnitus; it only indicates whether it’s present and if it’s mild or severe.

Hi, I’m remixedcat. I’ve had reactive tinnitus since I got COVID-19 around Christmas 2023, and it’s been driving me up the wall. As a musician, this has been especially challenging. I’m extremely sensitive to high frequencies, like clanging, AC noise, hissing, rustling papers, fridge hum...

And remember, Trump doesn’t have any real plans for healthcare, only ’concepts of a plan.“ Imagine scrapping a federal law that has been in place for 14+ years (which has benefited many Americans also) with nothing solid to replace it. What a joke.

My tinnitus becomes severe and overwhelming at times, and I also experience distortions. Love from Turkey.
