I found this old post while searching for "sunlight". At this point I can definitely state that exposure to sunlight positively affect my tinnitus. I have a lot of pre/post exposure data point that I can even normalize by other dimensions (street level, physical activity, diet etc).
If I...
I recently received a shot of Lidocaine next to the left ear as part of a root canal procedure, and it completely silenced my tinnitus for several hours and lowered the intensity for several more. It took more than 24 hours to go back to baseline.
I'd definitely take a hyper-target shit of...
Hello Tinnitus Talk community!
I recently underwent surgery and my doctor prescribed Vicodin to mitigate the pain (which is really bothering me right now, making it difficult to sleep and operate functionally). The course should only last for 5-6 days (until the pain become more manageable) but...
@kuromi that's great to hear!
Sometimes when I get frustrated in the evening I remind myself that my current worst is better than the older best. That thought keeps me hoping I am on a path of further recovery.
Best of luck!
same here! I wake up with near to no tinnitus and to a much smoother tone too. As time goes by throughout the day it start to get louder and it usually peaks at around bed time.
I still see it as an improvement since until only a few months ago the volume was pretty much the same morning...
I'm on the same boat: 20 dB dip at 4 kHz from using earphones. I didn't have any acoustic trauma and had stopped using earphones a few months prior to the sudden offset (happened during the lockdown and didn't go out much in that period.). My ENT however attributed my tinnitus onset to that dip...
This is just based on my intuition, but I think that once they got the molecule right, improving the delivery mechanism - as hard as it can be - will either be a problem of lower magnitude, or one that they will be extremely motivated in solving.
I did an MRI a couple months ago. I was wearing earplugs + earmuffs that they provided which made the experience manageable (although still stressful).
Personally I find loud high-frequency sounds to be the worst for my tinnitus, while the sounds in the MRI seemed to mostly be lower...
Just tried micronized Kava root by Kalm with Kava for the first time. Mixed it with almond milk and drank it on an empty stomach.
It didn't do much for my tinnitus but it made me feel more relaxed and a tiny bit high, which is quite the accomplishment in and on itself since THC is not an...
I tried it last night and had a terrible experience with it! I ended up experiencing sleep paralysis (which was really terrorizing) and barely caught any sleep.
Dayvigo is definitely a hard pass for me.
FX-322 has shown results in word recognition scores. Isn't that a function of hearing health at lower frequencies, and already proof that FX-322 can be beneficial also for the lower frequencies?
I have mild hearing loss in the 4 kHz - 5 kHz range so I really hope that is in fact the case...
I am in a fast-forwarded position relative to yours: I accepted that super stressful, high-paying and highly gratifying job around a year ago but I am currently wondering how long I will be able to keep it.
My tinnitus started 6 months ago during a period of extremely high stress at work. I...
I am considering testing it myself as I have responded incredibly well to benzos the handful of times I've tried.
@GBB what time of the day do you usually take it? Does it affect your sleep at all? Thanks!
Just found myself in the barber/hairdresser situation yesterday. I put my earbuds on after he washed my hair and told him I was really sensitive to even slightly loud high-pitched sounds so I had to wear them to protect ears, but that I could still hear them talk just fine. He took it quite well!
Hi everyone!
I wasn't able to join the investor company unfortunately, and the recording is not available yet. Anyone on this forum had a chance to attend it live? Any highlights from the presentation and the Q&A?
Thanks!
I have been taking Ambien shortly after the sudden onset of my tinnitus last July that made it extremely difficult for me to fall asleep.
It's worked really well for me and have not built any tolerance to it just yet but my psychiatrist (based in California) mentioned I could potentially...
Magnesium on an empty stomach reliably relaxes me and makes my tinnitus less intrusive. It's the one supplement that I can say for sure has a positive impact on tinnitus perception based on several pre-post observations.
