Winner of last night's debate: Dogs of Springfield Ohio.

I'm gettin' déjà vu.

Reactivity is...noticeably lower today? Weird. Wonder if it has anything to do with the obscene humidity.

I'm in a similar situation to you. The variability now seems to be more on an hourly basis rather than daily. I'm sorry to hear about your situation as well. Since you joined, you've been a great support and have provided valuable insight and perspective on research topics. My condition worsened...

I second @ellees's question and would love to hear an update from you @Cmspgran. Your story resonates with me, especially given how sharp a decline my own situation has taken. Reactivity is a whole 'nother hell. Have you found any success with time or medications? I wish all of us a brighter...

Looking at old posts up to a few years back and seeing a lot of inactive users who used to be regulars. I hope they're all coping better.

I can't say for sure if this is precisely something like dysacusis, but if it is, you have a good chance of it clearing up over time. Stay the course, and don't subject yourself to any harmful levels of noise. Do you suffer from acid reflux regularly? Even if you don't notice it (silent...

@Brian Newman, I haven't seen you post in a while, so I'm checking in to see how you're doing, my guy. I hope you're still fighting the good fight. Hang tough.

It sounds like what you're describing could potentially be a reactive form of tinnitus or dysacusis! The metal-like ring you experience, do you find it's something you can hear in your ears/head, or is it mixed in with the noise that's triggering it? If it's the former, it's more likely reactive...

Things have taken a drastic turn for the worst. Not sure why. Not having answers makes dealing with this so much harder.

A while ago, Trumpers were apparently insulting Biden for wearing diapers. I guess you could say they... ...turned the other cheek.

Only 974 years? No problem. Just ask the mice.

Ahhh hell. Here we go again.

At this rate we're going to make mice immortal with all the testing we do on them. Oh wait...

Not sure if this one was posted yet, but it was making rounds for a while about one year back on social media. Still too good.

Long story short, it progressively got worse over the course of 2022. It seems to have finally 'stabilized' and hasn't changed significantly (for better or worse) since February of this year. Guess I fell into the unlucky camp of people who don't really see improvement from dysacusis, but most...

I was thinking that I'd be content with just leaving your post a like and maybe that's what I would have done in a past life but y'know what? Right here right now I am challenging fate. I'm choosing to reply this time. This response is the lone catalyst that will alter the course of our future...

Bit off-topic, but a short story by Stephen King called "Afterlife" tells of a tale exactly like this. A man, finding himself in something of a purgatory after his death, is offered the chance to 're-live' his life, or choose eternal rest. What the man doesn't know is that he's already made the...

Nice Metroid Dread stickers @ZFire.

I'm thinkin' a little bit of column A, a little bit of column B.

Me: *trying to explain the slowly but constant worsening, despite taking precautions, and the fear of how bad it could potentially get before a viable treatment hits the market* Mum: *condescending and ignorant about severity of the condition, tries to brush it off like it's something anyone...

"Fuck does Cuno care?" Yeah Disco Elysium is pretty amazing. Shame what the studio did. The devs and writers being pushed out of their own company by investors is too on the nose, given the themes of the game. Has a great OST too. Loved to listen to some of the tracks pretty regularly...

To borrow a quote from one of the most famous scientists in human history:

Yesterday (July 31st) Treble Health sent out a newsletter outlining a few 'promising' avenues of research, and this is what was listed. Just impeccable timing:

(Just want to go out on a limb and say I've got nothing against anything in here. I'm something of a weeb myself lol)

Your situation is pretty similar to mine @Guilty, in that I used brown noise/loud fans as a noise blocker to drown out noisy tenants above me. For months I put up with thumping, dragging, banging, and whatever else, and it caused me no end of distress. It had a significantly negative impact on...

@AxEars, really well articulated post. I needed to read that. In a bad spot at the moment, and I need any shred of optimism I can get. Thanks for taking the time to type it out.

@Jerad, I agree with your post in that tinnitus and its surrounding ailments are grossly misunderstood and underplayed; an unfortunate reality we know all too well. But I think we can confidently dismiss the notion that treating tinnitus isn't commercially viable, taking even mild cases into...

Just shove that chip in me brain, I don't care if the thought police know what I'm thinking.

Hey @Tasty. I noticed that you've already been active in the community, specifically with providing information and data in Research News! Your input has already been very helpful and enlightening. Really looking forward to what else you might have to share in the future. Sorry if this seems...

Really took the words right out of my mouth. How can I take this thing and use it as a force for positive change? Before tinnitus I was already dealing with major depression and anxiety issues. The tinnitus is just the tip of the iceberg (granted, it's a BIG piece of that berg). The hump that...

Hi @willowretreat! I don't have much to advise in the way of acupuncture or any other 'unorthodox' methods of treatment; I just wanted to say that, like you, I'm also from Nova Scotia. Born and raised, lived here my whole life. I have a morse code-esque tinnitus as well. Moreso the rhythm than...

@Chinmoku, you're an absolute beast for making the trip. The courage required to see this through is beyond anything I'd ever be able to conjure for myself. Especially factoring in the severity of your case. Respect. Fingers crossed that you're rewarded with some degree of relief.

Not to go off-topic or anything, but reading this immediately made me think of adults from the Peanuts/Charlie Brown cartoon. Had a good chuckle.

I might not be holding out for a CURE any time soon, but viable treatment options that can return a modicum of former normalcy that was robbed from someone doesn't seem like such a high ask. Until then, we press on. For better or for worse.

Immensely relieved to report that it did indeed pass. Took about 9-10 days from onset before noises started subsiding. Been hum free now for about a week. Only thing I can guess that caused this was sleeping in relatively close proximity to a refrigerator that would periodically buzz. No idea...

My distortions have come back with a vengeance over the past couple of days... including the wine glass humming that I thought I had under control. No idea what could have caused it to resurface, haven't done anything that would have obviously caused this. No sudden exposure to any particularly...

@imaginElizabeth, I have yet to contract COVID-19, and no ear infection either, although my symptoms occurred about two weeks after recovering from a particularly nasty cold. Maybe sooner, and I just hadn't noticed them. I'm still not 100% on what the catalyst was that sparked the onset of my...

I started suffering from distortions as well. Back in October 2021, and while they worsened through my own complacence in February, I am relieved to say there has been a slow, but noticeable improvement since then. My symptoms may not have been as severe as yours, but like you I took it upon...

Small update. Good news and bad news. Good news is my tinnitus (the constant tones) have subsided a bit. Wondering if the magnesium is helping? Might have habituated a little as well. Either way, I haven't been hearing them as frequently or as intensely in recent days. They aren't as bad in pure...

Bit of an update. I developed a new tone in my left ear about a week ago and it's been progressively getting louder. Especially at night. Last night, my usual masking methods (that don't trigger reactions) didn't help much. So lost as to how this popped up. I've been at home almost...

Yeah, one thing that has given me a sliver of hope is that there are a lot of anecdotes from people online that distortions have healed with time. And I very much appreciate you reinforcing that, @ZFire. If nothing else, it does help to keep my mindset elevated. I'll try to keep this thread...
