I highly doubt that the vibration caused your tinnitus. Recently, I had some drilling done on an upper molar to replace a filling. Hearing the noise and feeling the vibration in my tooth was quite terrifying. I thought it might make my tinnitus worse, but it didn’t. Now I have to go in for a...

Staying calm is essential when dealing with tinnitus. While it can be quite bothersome, it’s important to remember that it’s not life-threatening. Focusing on relaxation techniques and seeking support for anxiety can make a significant difference. I used to have a deep fear of medication, but I...

Hey ECP! I hope you're having a fantastic day! How's everything on your end?

I haven't posted in a while How is everything in T Land?

I had a septoplasty six months after I started experiencing tinnitus, which was nine years ago. Since the surgery, I can breathe much better and no longer get frequent ear infections as I used to. Additionally, I no longer have post-nasal drip. The procedure did not worsen my tinnitus.

I assume you’re not sleeping well. First, it’s essential to take something to help with sleep and manage anxiety. You need to give it time; there’s nothing you can do right now except wait for things to settle down. Hang in there. You’re in the early stages, and things will get better.

Just checking in for an update. I hope all is well.

I have chronic tinnitus and GERD, and it’s very challenging for me. I take 20 mg of Omeprazole daily for maintenance. Over the years, and especially recently, I’ve learned that stress and anxiety can make things worse. I occasionally take Pepcid, and it doesn’t interfere with the Omeprazole...

Yes, I prefer hand-scaling all of my teeth because I think it does a better job. You can choose to polish them if you like, but I prefer not to. Since my teeth aren’t stained, I don’t feel the need for polishing.

Tell them you want them to hand scale your teeth when they clean them. I do that, and I also skip the teeth polishing.

Deaf individuals with tinnitus can't mask the ringing, making their experience particularly challenging.

Adjusting takes time, so in the meantime, try to find sleep aids that help you get 6-7 hours of rest, as this is crucial. Also, consider reducing your sodium intake and cutting back on caffeine a bit—no need to give it up entirely. You might also want to download an app for meditation and...

Drink hydrogen water because it reduces inflammation. Buy high-end bottles for better results, as cheap ones produce little hydrogen. Research backs its positive effects on the brain and many other conditions. I drink it every day and use the Echo-Go.

Please don't get an ear tube; it could worsen your tinnitus. Flonase can spike tinnitus, and so can saline rinse. You need to be careful and try it in moderation. You want to do the Valsalva as little as possible; you're popping your eardrum in and out, so it's okay to do it a few times, but you...

It takes time to adjust. You mentioned you were taking Trazodone. I didn't like Trazodone. Everyone responds differently. A 1/4 of 0.5 mg of Klonopin, with 1 mg of Remeron, can help you sleep well. You can gradually back off and take it only when needed. It is the perfect cocktail for me, and...

Would you rather have terminal cancer or tinnitus? Minimum security prison sounds like a country club. People with terminal cancer would trade without hesitation. I tell myself this all the time and to people I know.

I received one dose of the Moderna COVID-19 vaccine and experienced a major tinnitus spike for three days. It was a challenging experience. Unfortunately, I later caught COVID-19 and the flu, which was even worse than COVID-19. I've decided not to get another vaccine and have never had a flu...

Flonase and Afrin spike my tinnitus. To each their own. I have a hissing sound, and they seem to ramp it up.

Turn off all the lights an hour before bed, take 2 mg of Melatonin, do breathing exercises, and meditate. This will relax you and help you sleep. Having the same daily routine of turning everything off would help. If you can get Klonopin, it will help you sleep better.

I understand what you're going through. I use an app for guided breathing exercises at night, and it has been a lifesaver for me when I wake up in the middle of the night or before bed, as well as throughout the day. Meditation is also essential to me. When I have my teeth cleaned, I ask them to...

When I wear my ReSound hearing aid, it helps to reduce the ringing in my ear. I always use white noise and meditation apps with the hearing aid, and they have been a lifesaver for me. I have profound hearing loss in my right ear, so I only need one hearing aid for my left ear. It's important to...

Be careful when doing the Valsalva maneuver as it can cause your eardrum to flutter, popping it in and out, possibly leading to a spike in your tinnitus. It's okay to do it a few times a day. If you can tolerate a Sudafed, I would take a small dose, 10 mg daily. It will dry you out and...

The beginning is always stressful. I advise you to start meditating, learn breathing exercises, and lower your salt intake. You have time for it to go away. It could disappear. Please stay away from nasal sprays unless you really need them. I would ask for a CT scan of the skull to make sure...

I've been living with this nightmare for nine years. Every night for nine years, I've woken up to a deep ringing that never seems to go away. It's been a constant presence, and I've even experienced loud hissing throughout the day for multiple days. At first, I thought every little noise was...

The rinse may have triggered your Eustachian Tube Dysfunction, causing tinnitus. What kind of sound are you experiencing? Also, do you hear it at night while sleeping, and does it calm down during the day?

There's a place in Oregon that helps people with hyperacusis. The chief audiologist where I go sent one of his patients there, who locked herself in the room with earplugs and noise reduction headsets. He told me the worst thing to do is plug your ears and that masking sounds (TRT) is the way to...

I empathize with you. Consider exploring a treatment center in Portland, Oregon.

Try drinking Hydrogen water. To get the best results, buy a top-of-the-line bottle; the cheap Chinese ones are garbage. I have an Echo Go.

I take Omeprazole every day for GERD. I have chronic tinnitus. I notice that Omeprazole helps my tinnitus by reducing inflammation in my gut, which affects the central nervous system and can cause tinnitus to spike. It sucks dealing with both chronic conditions.

I experienced two consecutive days of complete silence. It feels strange; I still have ringing in my ears at night, when I wake up it calms.

That's great news!

I bought an Echo Go Hydrogen water bottle. It was a little pricey but well worth it. It has 4.5PPM (ORP) of mV or higher. BPA-free, I]

COVID-19 infection spiked my tinnitus for a few days, and so did the vaccine. I was one and done with the vaccine.

I understand what you're going through. It sounds like you have a mild case, and the sudden increase scared you, making you think it would never go back down. I can reassure you that 99% of spikes always come down. It would be best to remind yourself of that so you don't panic. Learning...
