    My Hyperacusis Reduced After Dietary Change

    I'm wondering though - I got Huel lying around here, the artificial meal that is supposed to be compiled of everything the body needs, without whatever the body doesn't need. It's a liquid meal, and it's possible to survive just on that. I ordered it a few months ago because I thought it'd be...

    My Hyperacusis Reduced After Dietary Change

    It could very well be. I didn't notice a significant change in my condition when I cut out dairy, or reduced my sugar intake, but hey, I've only seriously been doing it for a week and a half or so. But my deterioration kinda went hand in hand with cutting out my daily bread. Since I usually ate...

    My Hyperacusis Reduced After Dietary Change

    My own experiences with this diet seems to be giving a bit more insight (at least to my own personal condition). As the cutting down on food is giving me less energy, my hyperacusis is ramping up. Also, it has always been at its worst in the evening, and at its best in the morning. As it’s...

    My Hyperacusis Reduced After Dietary Change

    I noticed that the salads, avocado’s, eggs and blueberries instead of my pile of bread left me seriously fatigued throughout the day which is jamming up my hyperacusis, and cooking for lunch is hardly an option. So I got gluten free and low carb bread to bring back my energy, with pure peanut...

    My Hyperacusis Reduced After Dietary Change

    Hmmyeah, I was trying to move into a vegetarian lifestyle and then this came along and @another sean warned against dairy. But now that I'm seeing how restrictive my current diet has become, I'm back on biological meat. I'm currently following the Paleo diet, since that basically encompasses...

    Either way, I think all the Paleo, Keto and Carnivore diets, as well as the intermittent fasting regimes have one thing in common: minimal sugar and carbs, minimal processed foods, all nature.

    By the way, I just saw someone on Reddit who said he eliminated his tinnitus after he got on the Carnivore diet (aka The MEN! Diet For MEN! Who Love Their MEAT!), but that took at least 6 months. Not to discourage you, but the opposite: it goes to show we’re all different, and it could take a...

    Hey, I’m following whatever Sean did and told about in the hyperacusis thread. So more carbs than keto, but no sugar, no dairy, no wheat or processed foods, daily eggs and avocado, and stuff. He said he didn’t notice any difference until after 1 to 2 months, so I’m not expecting results yet. The...

    There have been multiple users by now reporting first positive effects (one on this very page), but their comments tend to get ignored or met with, “but you haven’t had tinnitus long enough!”, or, “that’s coincidence!” Some people just want to complain.

    Tinnitus, My Dear Friend

    I can actually confirm this is not the case for me, and it’s a continuous battle I had with my audiologist.

    My guess is, the most important thing is that the mind picks up on all of the sounds. I know people that can get so caught up in a book or video game that all of the world disappears around them and they won’t hear you if you yell their name. I think such activity should be avoided, because...

    Tinnitus, My Dear Friend

    Well, that’s the thing about the hundreds of reasons tinnitus can occur: there’s a part of patients in which the “cure” happens via their own training and response to sound, there’s a part that can be helped through physical therapy, those that can be helped through healing of the ear and...

    Tinnitus, My Dear Friend

    Contrast means well, but many around here should accept that not all tinnitus (or Hyperacusis, for that matter) is the same, and that sessions with TRT can actually help. Putting a taboo, or such a negative attitude towards these treatments holds off a lot of people from actually recovering. And...

    No Tinnitus When I Plug My Ears with My Fingers

    Yeah, like what Michael said. Also saw in your status you had H. The thing is, your brain (amigdala) has gotten into fight or flight mode to protect your ears (don’t know if you had an acoustic trauma, but that may have triggered it), and as a result, it’s pulling some nerves in your ears in...

    Hey, do you also have kind of a clicking sound inside your ears when you swallow? Because I might know what's happening then.

    On the other hand I’d say this overwhelming response to Neuromod would certainly promote to take this thing abroad. There’s clearly a demand, which makes it an easier sell to other countries - if not clinical medical institutions, then at the very least commercial clinics.

    Let’s be thankful the media isn’t all over it (yet).

And then that...

    Remember they’ll give you a fairly extensive assessment to make sure you’ll benefit from the treatment, for the cost of €250,-. Once you get the device and pay ‘all that money’, I’d say there’s a huge probability it will work for you. Worst case scenario, you leave with a clear referral for...

    I have no idea why it’s always only one of them, but the fact that a sound usually affects only one ear while the other one is fine is, like I said, mostly a confirmation that the physical ear itself is fine, and it’s an expression of the brain -coming from the fight or flight stimuli.

    So you had left ear pain the other night, and now right? That shows it’s not in the ear itself, but a reaction from the brain. I eliminated that By going ‘through’ it.

    Well apparently you're not supposed to take turmeric with mirtazapine, as it can lead to serotonine syndrome. Which might be why I'm still slightly dizzy, slightly nauseous, have a slight tremor, slightly sick, dull headache, and stuff. And why my tinnitus ramped up after intake, and I had a bad...
