    Wisdom Tooth Removal with Laser Drill to Reduce Risk of Making Tinnitus Worse?

    In the case that you can't get the laser and have to go the regular route... I was extremely nervous to get my wisdom teeth out since I did it so late (I think I was 26.) and they had to saw bone and whatnot because it was already fused to my jaw, but somehow it did not change my tinnitus...

    @Strawberryblonde Aboslute life savers for me tbh! And honestly I think I would have done very well on them years ago but that's because I have preexisting mental health issues rather than just T :)))

    @Jupiterman So i still use db readers when appropriate or if i'm nervous about a place, and i wear plugs if I feel uncomfortable with the noise level. And I still won't go to clubs or indoor concerts. I am considering outdoor music events.

    @Jupiterman that's a good question! I still protect my hearing! It just makes me more reasonable and less panicky and anxious than I used to be. I was nearly going phobic of noise and just generally WAY too anxious.

    Poll: Do You Wear Earplugs at Restaurants?

    It really depends on the particular restaurant. Local restaurants to me are usually pretty moderate volume as I live in a smaller town. When I would travel to SF, LA, etc., they were usually MUCH louder. One I was at had a lot of drunk people and it was like 90 dB (according to my phone dB...

    @kingsfan YES! I love lonesome crowded west so much. The only thing that makes me feel slightly better is that it's not like the OG lineup without judy on bass but LIKE two years ago I would have 100% been there. Plus there's 3 CA dates. I'd go twice. I seriously considered it for a milisecond...

    Hi there! To be quite honest I feel that after the first night or so of getting t the t went way down in volume and the amount of tones went down (I was hearing weird scary metallic noises) so I would say I did most of my healing in the initial aftershock. Two years later mine has remained...

    @Lurius It's been helping me mentally a lot! I feel a lot more relaxed and happy. It get fleeting moments of feeling the way I did pre t. Free. Sort of peaceful. I think it's essentially just being free of anxiety of a worsening or the obsession with it.

    Tinnitus Made Worse by Attending a Concert without Earplugs — Has Taking Zoloft Helped Anyone?

    Antidepressant use has varied results and is highly individual in nature. Some people report worsening, for some people it saves their life. It's something that I've been mulling over since getting tinnitus. I have severe anxiety and depression that has gone untreated for at least two-three...
