    IVF and Tinnitus & Hyperacusis

    Haven't seen this up till now... Well, the baby would have a father too, right? And my tinnitus & hyperacusis have got to a level where I can function for what are a child's needs. But I haven't got pregnant yet, so, be happy.

    N-Acetylcysteine (NAC)

    Glutathione, thank you, that's what I meant, not glutamate... Yes, there are studies showing NAC is good against COVID-19 virus, too.

    N-Acetylcysteine (NAC)

    NAC is one of the best supplements and helps with so many things so you can not go wrong with it. I take it for years now, like 10+. It prevents oxidative stress on cells by busting body's natural glutamate production.

    Can an Earthquake Cause or Worsen Tinnitus / Hyperacusis / Hearing Loss?

    We had an earthquake (6.2 magnitude) like a week ago, and I have been feeling dizzy ever since. Today I also have a bit of warmth in my ears and some usual clicks which I get after being exposed to loud sounds. Timing could be related to some hearing damage accruing? My question is - can an...

    Episode 8: Transforming Hyperacusis Research — Bryan Pollard

    As I understand, you are only feeling pain, but not physically damaging your ears. The pain was associated with physical damage before they discovered that an ear can actually hurt without some underlying infection etc.

    Flying & Tinnitus

    Thank you for this. Do you think I could wear earplugs before ascending, during the flight and after ascending? I am used to wearing earplugs at all times when outside, so I think it would be less stress for me than to switch between plugs and phones...

    Should I Go to the Mountains? Worried About the Altitude Worsening Tinnitus / Hyperacusis

    Thank you all. I think that living with tinnitus is a constant balance between just doing it and thinking what if. I will be looking for some lower altitude alpine house, not higher than 1000m. I guess this could be OK. Also, exploring these issues I have come to realize that airplane cabins...

    Masturbation Caused (Significant) Tinnitus

    I don't think you could damage anything that way. It could be an issue with the vein pressure. But maybe your vein is just going near your ear and when your pressure is up you can hear it. I'm no doctor, just imo...

    What Do Your Significant Others Think About Noise? Did They Get More Sensitive to Noise?

    It is not psychological, it is habitual. Like, I am most of the time in the house, when I go near the cars or smokers, the smell is so hard for me, not because I have told myself that but because I got used to not having that around and my body get used to smoke-free air. Like if you are in...

    Should I Go to the Mountains? Worried About the Altitude Worsening Tinnitus / Hyperacusis

    Thinking about a week in the mountains. I am worried about the altitude which is around 5 800 feet above sea level (1 600 meters). A few years back I was driving through some Switzerland alps and noticed my tinnitus get louder and higher in a pitch on a higher altitude. I panicked but it went...

    MIG Broke Sound Barrier While I Wasn't Wearing Hearing Protection

    If you had your windows closed you should be fine. I have recovered to a point. I do think my tinnitus is a bit louder but there are so many things going on it is hard to tell what's causing it.

    Taking Prednisone Two Weeks After the Onset of Tinnitus — Should I Risk It or Not?

    Thanks for asking @Daniel Lion My tinnitus was somewhat the same, and my hyperacusis maybe a little better. Still wearing plugs everywhere but home but my overall attitude was better. This also may be because I have developed severe anxiety caused by hyperacusis issues and then it manifested in...

    Taking Prednisone Two Weeks After the Onset of Tinnitus — Should I Risk It or Not?

    I was not offered prednisone when I first went to the doctor. Only years after I have learned that steroids can be given. They may or may not help and have side effects. From this point of view, I would like that I have had a chance to take them on time so that I know that I have tried...

    Steroids: Prednisone / Dexamethasone / Others (Oral and Intratympanic Injections)

    I have a box of pills, prednisone, expired 06/19 which I haven't used. Now I am thinking about taking it for my acoustic trauma. Is it okay still or should I go ask for a new box?

    MIG Broke Sound Barrier While I Wasn't Wearing Hearing Protection

    Burning went away so did the pain. I am a bit worried since I know that it takes about a week for cells to see how did it affect them. I took NAC and Mg. I still have some sensibility and a bit of pressure feeling. Could my tensor tympani be damaged by this sudden pressure which caused my...

    MIG Broke Sound Barrier While I Wasn't Wearing Hearing Protection

    Military plane had exercise above my city during which they broke a sound barrier and that resulted in a sonic boom that hit the ground. I felt the "explosion" in ears/head and feel my eardrums vibrated hard in both ears. I haven't had that sensation since forever since I have been wearing ear...

But I wonder - does the dental x-rays damage hair cells in a human ear? I mean, they have to get some radiation...

    What to Take for the Period Pain That Is Not Ototoxic?

    Yes, I think it does spike before my M, but it also spikes when the weather is changing etc.. I guess when ever brain chemistry changes... Paracetamol is hard for liver, yes?

    Have you considered that you might be a focusing just a little bit more on it therefor giving it a more power? I don't think that you have damaged your ears from what you wrote, airplanes also provide few decibels of protection so I think you were OK....
