Coffee definitely worsened my tinnitus likely by causing inflammation. It took almost a month of not drinking it to get my tinnitus to permanently settle into a state where I don't get spikes above a 5. Other sources of caffeine like soda and tea do not have this same effect. I might get a...

Everyone has tinnitus. Did you think it was the ocean you were hearing in a sea shell? It's just a matter of making the room quiet enough and you'll hear it.

Just read this cause I don't log on here very much. Danny was one of my favorite contributors and he joined around the same time I did. It will not quite be the same here without him.

Sticking your jaw out was the most common way to change your tinnitus. It's most noticeable when my T is low. https://www.tinnitustalk.com/threads/poll-does-your-tinnitus-become-louder-when-you-move-your-jaw-forward.23317/

I've been using them the whole time I've had T. I keep them at a comfortable volume, and don't see how that causes more damage the other louder sounds I regularly experience. I think headphones are fine as long as you keep the volume in moderation.

Had to have a filling today. That was a god awful loud and high pitched scraping noise. No T spike afterwards luckily.

So I got one of those sudden T pauses right at the exact second my 3rd anniversary message was coming in. What are the odds?

Unfortunately this report suggests that the understanding of how tinnitus works is still very incomplete, with a lot of conflicting studies, and the same is true for possible treatments.

I'd actually be more interested to know if there is a rockstar who doesn't have tinnitus. If it's possible someone to spend 30 years next to 125db speakers and still hear pure silence when they go to bed, that's the person you want to study.

Almost every rockstar probably has it weather they are on the list or not.

I have ADHD and T in only one ear that didn't develop until I was in my 30s. I doubt there's a link, but T does make it harder to fucus.

I doubt my Blepharitus and tinnitus are connected. My Blepharitus started many years earlier and is mostly in my left eye while my T is mostly in my right ear.

Sounds excited, but many similar stories have failed to produce anything useful. Also this is just for hearing loss, it doesn't even mention tinnitus. People always assume a cure will fix both, but there's no reason why it has too. Plenty of evidence suggests tinnitus can exist in the brain...

Odd does this it happen when it's windy too? Might be your ear shape forms some sort of a whistle. Maybe vibration also or a combination of both.

Should pin this in the alternative treatments section.

Ho come nobody on this forum has even tried this?

Second anniversary update: Changing my diet and avoiding most sugary drinks and candy has improved both my T and IBS. I have noticed that when my stomach is bad, I am much more likely to get T spikes and jaw clicking. With a few exceptions, I am doing much better than when I started this...

Baldness, Tinnitus, Chronic Pain Cancer, Alzheimer. The list goes on, it's always 5 years away. People grossly underestimate the complexity.

Has anyone actually had surgery to correct this?

Not to mention the idea of mail order stem cells available to the general public.

I was taking some supplements that were probably worthless. I also wasn't paying attention in the weight room and the let the leg press machine slam in my ear. I am not sure either of these caused my T, but I am pretty sure the weight room incident caused my H. I am embarrassed about both.

1.5nm is in the xray part of the spectrum.

I really think Wilden audiograms are faked. LLLT definitely doesn't help with T for a lot of people. I'm pretty sure it doesn't make a big difference for a lot of people if it does work at all. Also, I don't see what advantage a laser has over the sun or a normal lamp for this purpose.

High Fructose corn syrup may have been the causing the problem though, I have been avoiding both due to digestive issues and am not sure which one is helping my ear problems.

For the past 4 months I have been on low gluten and avoiding high fructose corn syrup entirely. My T spikes have not been quite a bit better and less frequent. My H is down and my middle ear myoclonus mostly stopped. Also my T side jaw clicking stopped. I am very pleased with this...

He drank alcohol before it and it didn't help his T? Maybe there's something special in Ginbut probably just a coincidence.

I'm wondering if it's possible that acoustic trauma actually induces the TMD. Sounds far fetched but I did first noticed my jaw clicking right after my acoustic trauma.

Had an elite ultra quite T day today, then went to a loud concert tonight. For the first time in 2 years I can actual say "The Ringing in my left ear is louder than the ringing in my right ear." I'm staying up just to enjoy this for the few hours it lasts.

SOunds like me, when I first notice this, I would occasionally try to hum at just the right pitch so that the inside of my ear shook for my own amusement. Here is some info on the symptoms and the anatomy. I think I have both TTS and Stapedius Myclonus but mainly the later of the two...

You can get T from the sound the airbag makes as well as the head trauma.

If I had a nickle every time I heard the word breakthrough in the science article, I'd be well over my head in nickles.

What inspired you to read about it? Did you really get T from accidentally stumbling upon an article about it? If so you have an anxiety disorder not T. FYI: Everyone has a little bit of T, this is why you can hear the ocean in a sea shell.

Yes, only my right ear is effected by T and H. I am pretty sure my acute acoustic trauma incident only affected my right ear since the loud noise was right near it. Also have jaw popping on that side.

People need to stop using words with so many friggen S'sssssssssss in them that's my gripe.

Summary: 11 better, 6 worse, 15 same

You mean is he working for DR Wilden? Probably or he wouldn't have posted all those pics from inside the clinic.

I could probably try. I didn't get enough sleep and was having a massive T and H spike yesterday. It was much better today.

I work a job where I have to sit in a cubicle behind a desk for a lot of the day. This is the worst possible environment to be in for T sufferers. The longer I sit still in a quite room the louder my T gets and it makes it impossible to concentrate. Does anyone else experience this?

My Tinnitus fluctuates a lot too and I thought it was gone the first time it dropped to a 1 also. If we have a guide for newbies section it should mention this, don't declare your tinnitus gone. I think everyone with fluctuating tinnitus goes through this unfortunate letdown.

I have had on and off problems with dry eye pain (Blepharitus) for the last 7 years.

Never see a chiropractor. https://www.washingtonpost.com/national/health-science/how-safe-are-the-vigorous-neck-manipulations-done-by-chiropractors/2014/01/06/26870726-5cf7-11e3-bc56-c6ca94801fac_story.html

My tinnitus is better the next day if I exercise at night, unfortunately when I tried doing it two nights in a row the second wasn't helpful.

Your already get choline from your diet which your body converts to Phosphaditylcholine , I doubt taking more of something your body is already getting will make a difference.

Doxy is one of the most common antibiotics, I think they would know if it was causing a lot of T cases. I've been on it but it was nowhere near the time my T started.

Doesn't matter because NAC didn't work for most of us.

Sounds promising, hopefully it brings relief for T too.

Time to unpin this thread. Next

Yeah it's asymmetric hearing damage. However if it was symmetric hearing damage, it would not change my annoyance level.

This study suggests that people with tinnitus are at higher risk for chronic pain and visa versa. That should be testable in a survey. The article doesn't really get into the specifics of the research so I'm not sure they're identical mechanisms of action.

Has this worked for anyone besides Dannyboy?

Ever since my T started, I've also had distorted hearing. When somebody says anything with an "S" it makes a high pitched whistle that sounds too loud and stretches out too long compared to what I hear in my good ear. I get the same high pitched whistle when I breathe through my nose. Low...

I'm going to change my response to possibly. It varies, just not as much as my T.

Plug both ears, and focus hard. I have concluded I have a very faint different frequency T in my other ear.

It's probably Tensor Tympani Syndrome. You can probably make it happen at will (Not permanently) by yawning too hard. Middle ear Myoclonus is more of a popping sound.

Classic panic question: Can <insert soft noise or activity unrelated to ears> make things worse? There are lots of them on this forum. Answer: No, calm down and take your anti anxiety meds.

Krill oil has astaxanthin in it, but I have been taking it for years and it does nothing for my tinnitus.

This is mild Hyperacusis, I get this when I'm next to an AC or when somebody says something with an S in it.

I was thinking of all the people throughout history that probably had T. Here's my list, it maybe a bit exaggerated because I assume most people who experienced acoustic trauma got it. *Almost every musician *Almost every steel worker - Metal on Metal my least favorite sound. *Almost every...

When I'm having a bad T day I always tell myself "At least it's not Mariah Carrey's Christmas Album playing in my head continuously".

I'm calling it my T anniversary. first noticed the noise about a year ago, it went away and I thought nothing of it. Didn't start getting concerned until a few months later when spikes became louder and more frequent.
