I am still on minoxidil almost daily (topical form) cuz I do forget it some days; I'm also on finasteride 1.25mg (5 cut in quarters) 3-4 times a week. Started both in late medications late September. Effect on tinnitus seems negligible.

I am almost a week into topical minoxidil. Finasteride gives people periods of shedding that can last months, losing more hair, before growing back. I think minoxidil does that less...? For now I am using minoxidil and covering my losses with hair makeup. Because I can't afford the shedding now...

If I was in your shoes maybe I would think the same, so fair enough.

Comparing yourself to others is the kill of all joy. Even if you were completely healthy, you may have still envied him for his girlfriend. The attitude is flawed. Life may kick him in the nuts later, but you shouldn't care about that either.

Hello. I do wear double protection on the street. I do hear my tinnitus more loudly with protection on. You are not spiking your tinnitus because you are using protection. If what you feel now is that you prefer staying at home, then do that. You will decide one day on your own when to go out...

Sorry for the late answer. I have truly been inactive here. My "solution" is driving to university with double protection. X4A earmuffs and 3m foam earplugs on the street too. When I go inside buildings, I switch one of the foam plugs for a silicon 25db plug. Otherwise I very rarely hang out and...

I am doing fine, thanks for aksing. If things continue the way they are now, I will be able to finish my studies and not die homeless. How are you doing?

Update: I do think I got a small permanent increase in my left ear. Well....that's how life will probably go until I die :/

I am on day 3 after incident. Didn't feel any pain, just hearing the increased ringing in my left ear that was towards the bike.

My area was quieter this year compared to last year. But what's annoying is you'll still occasionally hear fireworks for 1-2 weeks AFTER the new year.

Heyy. Happy Birthday! In spite of tinnitus, we go on.

I didn't spike after that incident, after all.

Try using Firefox on android, since it allows browser extensions. I tried dark reader on TT for a bit and it seems serviceable.

Oh man. Today I had to brake hard cuz a bus was trying to turn right into a narrow street, cutting me off. My brakes screeched for about 2 seconds, but no accident. You got more unlucky than me. I'll be even more careful from now on. Also, hoping you'll recover.

Right ear stayed at the same level since last update. Been really busy though.

Haven't really improved since last update. I'm starting to think my right ear will not go back to the previous baseline.

It's not dangerous. What is the cause of your tinnitus?

If I end up in a loud event I say I took the best decisions with the knowledge I had at the time or that the situation was out of my control. Because it's one of these 2. It helps actually not being very reckless with your hearing as if you're healthy.

The spike in my right ear has come down a little bit. Still hoping for more improvement.

I see, fast food instead of a fast :)

Tinnitus and hyperacusis are a heavy burden on us 24/7. It can be hard for close ones to always be supportive towards us because of their own hardships / not understanding our suffering. I know people around me will get tired if I always complain to them.

Spike could be temporary. It has to go down to some extent. You'll feel better as time passes.

I also think about that. I don't think it's crazy to think ahead if you might suffer more. It makes you take precautions. Plus, normal people literally don't understand the struggle of tinnitus.

I think it's normal to hear a low rumble.
