Hi Lila, what's a NUCCA Chiro and when was the last time you went to one?

Hi, I have had a few spikes riding my motorcycle and they always went down after a few weeks. You were totally protected so the risk of you having damaged your ears is really small. It's the anxiety over this event prolonging your spike. I have had this so many times. What helped me was...

I've been doing this for a long time on my motorcycle helmet and never had any problems. I use earplugs and Bluetooth system because it distracts my tinnitus when plugged up.

I understand what you mean but the sound is coming from behind you in the first place (exhaust). The moment I ride my bike faster as 50 km/h I don't hear the engine anymore, only the wind, except in a tunnel...

I ride a Triumph Thruxton. You really shouldn't be worried about the noise of your bike, I did so many tests with mine measuring the decibels with an adjusted meter with different helmets and speeds. The sound of your exhausts is nothing to worry about because it travels behind you. The problem...

And Alpha-Lipoic Acid!

I've been a skater for 25 years, the only place to watch out for is indoor skateparks, I did some measurements and they easily go up to 90 dB. I only wear earplugs in skateparks and tend to avoid them as much as possible and skate outside as much as possible. I never had any problems so go...

I've been to the same clinic in Antwerp, no real help there, maybe you could go to the Brain clinic in Ghent, they also offer Lenire I just read. Groeten

Mine got worse after one session, it lasted 2 days and went back to baseline, will never use that methode again. I found after Searching the net it's quite common to get ringing ears.

Yes there are reasons not to catch it. https://medium.com/microbial-instincts/hearing-loss-an-odd-covid-19-symptom-we-overlooked-6cdf81a5e70

It's the asymptomatic part I am worried about, if this happens to relatively young people without symptoms what can happen to our already compromised ears when we get ill with symptoms?

Hearing loss in 20 asymptomatic patients, small sample but all of them had hearing loss on their diagrams, thoughts?

I found this post about a guy who had COVID-19 and started getting ringing in his ears. He didn't have tinnitus before COVID-19. He reported a moderate / severe form of tinnitus from what I've read. I asked him if he still had the ringing now and he said yes but that it was fading in and out...

Maybe @linearb can help to answer these questions....

I'm not an expert but as far as I know occlusion effect can occur when you speak with plugs in and your speech is in certain lower frequencies amplified, I can't imagine this being the case on your motorcycle unless you were shouting the whole trip. I only once had a feeling of loud vibration...

Yes you are totally right and I met others before that always have spikes after a ride, my tinnitus was probably caused by riding my motorcycle without plugs, I had really no idea the wind noise was so damaging for my ears. None of my friends who ride motorcycle ever use plugs, I found out...

Yes I measured right beside the ear canal, I put the mic from the headphones with tape against my ear and measured it with the iOS dB pro app. It will not be 100 percent correct but if I compare it to official tests done in a wind tunnel it comes pretty close. Since you are Belgian as well...

I totally understand, I used to have the same anxiety about thinking everything wil be too loud, luckily this faded after a year and half with this condition, now I don't even think about the loudness anymore when riding my road bike or mountainbike because it will not damage your ears more...

The wind noise on a motorbike is way louder than on a road bike, on the road bike the cat ears help immensely and reduce the wind noise to max 70 -75 decibels on my top speed which is around 40 km/h since I am not a pro so no need to worry there. Now that its winter I wear a beanie under my...

Hi,can I ask what motorcycle do you ride and which helmet do you use and what speed were you driving? If you were riding with custom earplugs and a full helmet at a speed no more than 120 km/h the wind noise would be around 95 max 100 dB's so with good earplugs you should be ok normally. I am...

Thanks for the info, definitely going to try this, should I drink water with salt in it and take kalium or just a lot of water?

Thanks for the info! Will try the intermittent fasting first

We need to fast two or three weeks to get effects as in the video? How is this even possible? I think I will start eating my clothes after a week.

Apparently the only supplements that are really working are the ones from human, it's a bottle and quite expensive but it seems to be the real deal and very popular https://hvmn.com/ketone-ester

I wasnt talking about supplements but about the diet. If you follow a ketogenic diet to the letter your carb and sugar intake is almost zero, that's why you are starting to produce ketones. That's why I thought you are doing the same when you are fasting, I didn't know about the autophagy...

Ok thanks for clearing this out , that's what I wanted to know but if you read up about ketogenic diets a lot of people talk about the cognitive advantages and not only the physical ones. They sleep better and are in a better mood and have less brain fog.

Hehe, well you will have to eat one day no? If you follow a strict ketogenic diet you can stay in ketosis for... months, years? I am planning to do this in the future, I read quite a bit about the positive physical and mental effects. Much respect for you doing the fasting but it seems...

Why don't you just follow a ketogenic diet or even take the ketones from Human, it gives you the same amount of ketones as a week of fasting. Following a ketogenic diet will be cheaper though and isn't that difficult, you can even measure if you are in ketosis by using strips...

Can you just take ketone esthers and skip the fasting and have the same benefits ? There is a lot to do about ketones lately enhancing your physical fitness. Taking ketones seem to also have cognitive positive results.

I have the same audiogram and the two ENTs I went to said I had normal hearing, not even mild hearing loss... I don't feel like having hearing loss either, I hear everything clearly.

@Redknight Thank you very much for your detailed summary, I'm having some problems understanding the part about the psychiatric issues. You are saying many people have been excluded. Could this mean that people were excluded for having for example depression or an anxiety disorder or because...

Thanks but I don't need to discuss this any further and I don't want to proof anything, thanks for the detailled info.

I don't know the exact numbers but when my friend told me to check out this forum called dpselfhelp.com with thousands of members to understand what was happening to him I was totally scared by the amount of people who got it after smoking cannabis. When I read the stories these were all...

Ok, thanks for the info!

Did you get an email from them or did you ask them for information? I am living in Belgium so would like to know more about a release over here.

Well around 2 to 5 percent develop DP/DR after using drugs so it's uncommon yes but not extremely rare, but what is common is that people get panic attacks and even develop panic disorder. That's why I am against people trying certain drugs when they are in an anxious state. Can I ask how long...

You don't seem to have any hearing loss to begin with, maybe the difference in your before and after test would be more profound if you had a steeper curve. Glad you are doing well!

I can only advise not to try weed or ketamine or any hallucinogens when you are under stress and in an anxious state. Depersonalisation / derealisation disorder is a real thing and can last for years 24/7. A friend of mine got it from smoking a few joints.

Thanks for the info! Good news!

Just use the Cat ears, they work perfectly. Check my previous posts, I even tested it with a dB meter connected to my ear.

I skate and my son skates and it never spiked my tinnitus but only if I skate outside, if you go skating indoor it's definitely too loud when it's a bit crowdy and you definitely need hearing protection since a busy indoor hall is a 90 dB on average. I avoid them and only go skating outside...

Why wouldn't it be true?

Great to read that it helped you twice already. Do you have hearing loss and did you attend the loud pub with hearing protection?

Logically this would only pose a problem when the tongue tip is in direct contact with the metal as in when you have a tongue piercing. I could be wrong but if braces, retainers, bridges, fillings or implants would have been a problem I'm pretty sure they would have mentioned this as so many...

I don't think it will be a problem as they would have to exclude people with amalgam filings and tooth implants as well, I'm not sure how many but a lot of people have filings and implants. I have them as well.

I've had exactly the same a few times before tinnitus, a lot of people get visual migraine. It is what is and is scary the first time but it seems to be harmless.

I bought this on AliExpress and it works perfectly as a DIY unit for inspection and wax removal. It works on Android and iOS. If I have too much wax build up I go to the ENT for a manual removal with a curette. https://s.click.aliexpress.com/e/blkhtXDI

I can't see why it won't, it's the only reason why I would try it. My normal tinnitus is at least maskable, your tinnitus is new so the head tinnitus will get better.

Now I understand why it's SUPERWAR with CAPS LOCK.

Thank you so much for the work making this amazing video @Hazel and @Markku! I do have a question, in the video her mother stated she tried everything for her hyperacusis and tinnitus and even went to Israel. Did she also try to cut her auditory nerves? I read there is around a 50 percent...

I think that's why you should ask a psychiatrist I think but I don't know the rules in your country. Over here it is the opposite, 1 in 5 is on benzos and after the age of 75 it's even 1 in 3 people.

I don't know where you live but why don't you go to a psychiatrist and explain your situation and let him prescribe you clonazepam to take as needed, or are benzos illegal in your country?

I know at least 5 people who are or have been on the benzo route for different issues, one is on them for 20 years or more without problems. The others got off them with a steady taper. I don't think it has to do with genetics, most people do just fine on benzos, they are just not on here or...

For me taking prednisolone was the worst decision after my initial onset , I couldn't walk for a week due to pain in my joints and slept maybe 1 hour a night. The Xanax I tried in the beginning quieted my tinnitus to a 1/10 so I guess everyone is different.

It can calm your nervous system until you can cope better with your tinnitus or your other problems and taper, or you keep taking them depending on your age, everyone has to decide for himself.

Not always, if you have overwhelming anxiety on top of your tinnitus and you don't respond to antidepressants they can be very helpful even in the long run.

In tiny Belgium alone 10 percent are on benzos, meaning 1.1 million people. Of course there will be thousands who had a bad experience. I also read the horror stories and bad experiences but who will go on the internet joining BenzoBuddies or other forums searching for answers and telling what...

When I take a look at the percentages of people having a bad experience it seems to reflect that around 15 percent will develop tolerance to benzos or will have withdrawal issues. That's what my doctors told me.

Sorry I edited my post and added the reviews on clonazepam which are people who have been taken it 10 years or more for anxiety
