Let's remember that the reason the border and immigration problem continued is because the Republicans wouldn't pass a bipartisan negotiated border deal, combined or later even stand-alone. They were set to do it until Trump requested they drop it so that he could use the issue as a campaign...

America will take better care of its citizens when the border is closed and the illegals are deported. 85% of voters agree that the border problems must be addressed. Kamala Harris said that everything the Biden administration has done is fine. Is it any surprise that she lost? Wealth is not...

Don't worry, your billionaire heroes are going to get all the tax cuts and deregulation they need. You can sleep soundly.

@DaveG, do you have any hearing loss?

I used those supplied by the radiologist. Better call beforehand, as I'm not sure whether every radiologist offers them.

Finally got my device from NYU Langone! It was custom-made to position the anode and cathode over the appropriate brain region. I did my first session with them this morning, which lasted 20 minutes. They suggested that I play my tinnitus tone at a low volume during the treatment. This isn't...

Thanks for asking. There's no research news yet, because we need time to raise enough funds to start giving out grants. So the progress so far is kind of boring organizational stuff -- which nevertheless are very exciting for us, as all of it brings us closer to our goal of silencing tinnitus...

I am now in week 4 of the Neuromed program, and I have a few thoughts to share. Currently, I am in a state where they cannot prescribe me any type of medication. For now, I'm focusing primarily on the nutraceuticals, diet, exercise, and CBT components of the program. I haven't seen any...

What you’re describing captures the typical emotions that accompany the onset of tinnitus. I became familiar with this feeling myself back in 2019. Anxiety undeniably plays a significant role in how one copes with it—something easier said than done, I know, as I am currently experiencing a spike...

Would increased intake of sugar and caffeine also increase the sound your tinnitus? Had a sweet tooth the last couple of weeks and have noticed a heightened volume. Curious if people had the same.

@Petey04, it depends on the approach your sister chooses to take. The condition has recently been recognized by a leading ENT surgeon and tinnitus researcher, and @Cmspgran has provided a link. This condition often presents with hyperacusis, though not always. It's frequently noise-induced...

I am not discounting anyone's experience, and I understand that some of you have endured horrible years and are still suffering. My heart goes out to each and every one of you. I am just as invested in finding a cure and supporting effective care, and I have deep respect for each of you and...

The size of the country doesn't mean we can't take care of our own citizens. Right now, we have distribution of wealth to the richest, and people don't want that in America. I don't normally watch it, but I saw on a late night show them interviewing some Trump supporters. It was amazing how...

Hey @Hazel, I know you're likely busy with life and everything, but I was wondering if you could share a sentence or two about any promising news that might be coming from Tinnitus Quest in the near future?

Oh, we know all about that!

I'd like to share my experience with tinnitus, especially since one of my biggest struggles when I first developed it was the fear of never being able to have (more) children. My tinnitus is moderate, and I also experience TTTS with pain and mild loudness hyperacusis. Here's how my experience...

I'm new to this forum. I've had constant ringing in my ears for over ten years now, and I've always been told, "You just have to deal with it!" I'm always looking for some kind of relief, but I'm extremely skeptical about the solutions advertised, as most seem likely to be scams. On that note...

Elon Musk is a genius, and he supported Trump & Vance. People who voted for low-IQ Harris & Walz and their dumb policies can't be too smart. Most Americans wanted a change from the status quo and preferred traditional American values. There will always be sore losers after the Presidential...

Hello all, I wanted to share my experience in case it helps others. I started experiencing tinnitus about three years ago, and after six to nine months, it became almost a non-issue. I still hear it 24/7, but I can go weeks without even remembering I have it—only noticing when someone asks me...

I’m sorry to hear about your hearing loss, tinnitus, and hyperacusis. I have also lost hearing in my left ear, and I’ve experienced hyperacusis twice, along with loud tinnitus. I have deep empathy for what you’re going through. If there’s anything I can say to offer comfort, it’s that...

Earplugs keep falling out of my ears :/ idk if this is even viable, I might have to try different tip sizes. Kinda nervous to do that though since last time I went one size higher and it felt uncomfortable but might be because I didn't insert it correctly idk. This is annoying.

Hi everyone, I wanted to introduce myself and, if possible, get some support with what I have been dealing with. Seven weeks ago, I flew with a cold and landed with a blocked ear. That night, I managed to pop it (though now I worry I should not have) and was in a lot of pain overnight. The...

Hi @MindOverMatter, I wanted to get your opinion on something. I know everyone's experiences are different, but I am asking out of concern. I developed hyperacusis and reactive tinnitus after a DJ party, and then had a second setback when my house alarm went off. That was two months ago. Since...

@MiaVIL, how are you getting on?

@Wellbutrin_Case, may I ask how things are going for you after three years? I’ve been struggling with Wellbutrin-induced tinnitus for about a month now. I used it along with 5-HTP, though I’m not sure if that played a role or not.

Waking up with burning ears and going to sleep with even more intens burning ears. It's a constant torture. Really wouldn't mind not waking up.

As a long time tinnitus sufferer since an acoustic trauma in 2015, I can only hope to help by telling you that it does get better with time. I was where you are now at six months in. My marriage broke down, I faced full depression, and had suicidal thoughts. Believe me, it gets better; how long...

Carbamazepine can help suppress the symptoms and is the only antiepileptic drug known to be effective for this. However, please make sure to consult your neurologist. It may either alleviate your symptoms or cause serious side effects, which might require you to stop taking it. I took 400 mg...

It's been louder for me for a few days now. I'm grateful that the anxiety isn't here towards it anymore - but it's still annoying to sit through and can be hard reminding myself to try and tune it out over and over again. I'm getting there.

Norway is a small country that has different requirements to handle the needs of the population than a country the size of the United States. Redistribution of wealth is Socialism, and we do not want that in America. I would suggest that you Google "Racism in Norway."

What MRI-safe earmuffs did you use?

From that whole post about reducing the FDA's protectorate remit and opening people like us up to conmen, your whole stance is, "I must protect Trump." Oh, apologies, he said, "inject disinfectant," which is worlds apart from injecting bleach. I'm relieved the medical doctors didn't listen to...

No. Immunity from the judicial process is the priority. You fell for the con.

We have an extremely uninformed electorate, generally speaking. Truth doesn't matter, and facts don't mean anything. It's as simple as that. Watching interviews, exit polls, and these post election discussions, it's honestly troubling. You have Muslims in Dearborn, Michigan, voting for the...

Can you elaborate more on this? For me, tinnitus and hyperacusis (now recovered) turned me into a light sleeper. I sleep with earplugs every day as a result now, and that has helped me sleep better. I don't wake up from any startling noise (outdoor noise) thanks to the earplugs.

You DO know he never actually said that, right? He was rather uneducated on the subject and was rambling in his musings. But liberals jumped on a quick, abridged version—much like how most rumors start. Liberals, being liberals, tend to believe what other liberals say without fact-checking. His...

I’d say (hope) that that’s maybe a bit pessimistic.

2026 seems realistic.

Inner ear problems have ruined my life. I'll never be the same again. They've made my life worse than death. I wish I had died instead. It's been six months, but it still feels like it was just yesterday. Time has stopped for me, and I'm in the middle of an endless torture. When the time comes...

Anyway, @Markku previously mentioned that the timelines discussed here on Tinnitus Talk for the potential launch of Susan Shore’s device are unrealistic. I don’t think the device will be available on the market before 2030, and it likely won’t be accessible outside the United States before...

I don't have typewriter tinnitus.

Why do you think that the smaller population makes it hard to compare Norway to the US with respect to the policies I mentioned? Nah. I believe it's more likely that he simply forgot the word "Caucasians" but remembered that he shouldn't say "Aryans." I doubt that he'd have any such inhibitions...

Did Carbamazepine work for you?

Thank you for the response, @Henry Orlando FL. I’m very interested to hear if anyone with constant, unmaskable tinnitus has used this method successfully. If so, how did you approach noting your response to tinnitus that doesn’t come and go but is instead constant? Did you make just one note...

Hi @t_scot randal, Thank you so much for reading my story and sharing yours. I hope things are going well on your side! I must admit that addressing this health issue has taken considerable work, research, and preparation, especially in convincing medical professionals to try various treatments...

Precisely.

You are correct. Democrats are now saying that their entire presidential campaign was handled wrong. There was no primary, Harris made many mistakes, and Trump did a far better job of connecting with voters. If the Democratic Party wishes to survive, it must address working and middle-class...

I don't think anyone said that "all" Trump voters were idiots, but it's true that the low IQ, low information voter was more likely to vote for Trump. Polls showed college graduates voted more for Harris. States with fewer college graduates went for Trump. Trump voters think Trump will lower...

Putting partisan considerations aside, if the FDA undergoes any major structural changes, I would expect delays. What will happen to the review teams? Will they lose or gain members in the process? New members will need to be hired and brought up to speed. Will there be new regulatory policies...

I’m not sure if MiraLAX is causing my tinnitus to spike or if it’s just a coincidence. There have been a few times when I’ve taken it without any issues, but lately, that hasn’t been the case. Then again, there might be other factors involved, like stress. Have you taken MiraLAX again? What are...

Tom Homan, Trump's new Border Czar:
