    Tinnitus from Noisy Van — I'm Thankful for the Many Sincere Posts Here

    I think it depends on what stages of the tinnitus you are in. In the onset acute stages, where you are in the fight/flight mode, I don't think it's good to listen to your tinnitus, it will likely make it seem louder; during the habituation phase, I would only listen to it if it's not threatening...

    if you don't believe us, just look at the stock price of BNTX and MODERNA, that should say something about the efficacy and safety of their vaccines.

    Should I Use White Noise to Mask My Buzz/Ring? Or Continue Listening to My Tinnitus?

    Mask in the acute stages during the onset months. Once you have no issue with sleeping, slowly ween off it by turning down the volume until you get to silence and can sleep in silence with your tinnitus.

    Should I Use White Noise to Mask My Buzz/Ring? Or Continue Listening to My Tinnitus?

    bsolutely not, do not mask low tinnitus. The brain will get used to it and it will help you heal/habituate quicker. Masking is only gonna make it worse in your case.

    Desperate: I Can Influence My Tinnitus Pitch and Volume by Certain Movements

    If I turn my head to the left, the noise in my ears would go up temporarily and go down once my neck position is back to the neutral position. I don't know what this all means, maybe neck issues is causing the tinnitus and hyperacusis?

    Will You Get Vaccinated for Coronavirus (COVID-19)? Can It Make Tinnitus or Hyperacusis Worse?

    If you want to nitpick, 1/100000000000 cases of people dying or suffering some rare adverse effects from the vaccine, I would strongly urge you to never go out, eat or drink or even breathe. Because there are higher risks of you dying from a fluke event.

    Really Bad Headaches with Tinnitus and Hyperacusis

    Nausea can be caused by many things, chiro might make things worse, so you should be careful about it. Usually nausea has its origins in the gastrointestinal system, so I would go to a specialist in that area and get things checked out.

    The difference is that in the west you get to pick your political leaders every few years. The FED and ECB are bound by laws and are not controlled by the ruling party.

So if it helps the CCP to have fewer kids, they will mandate 1 child policy, and if it does not it will mandate 3 child policy. If CCP wants people to die en masse, they starve...

    Tinnitus After 2nd Pfizer COVID-19 Vaccine — Now Getting Better

    Tinnitus Spike After Two Glass Bottles Smacked Together and Made a Loud Sound

    I think people who have severe hyperacusis that does not improve over time is due to over protection. The brain somehow is thinking that the lower sound threshold is dangerous, hence giving you the pain signals. You have to actively experience sound to show your brain that sound at these levels...

    Because so many people are taking this vaccine at roughly the same time, you simply can't say it's the vaccine or not. The only way you can know is to have a double-blind trial. Which I think the drugs have already gone through. So without any evidence, anecdotal evidence is just that...

    Tabletop Fountain for Masking Tinnitus While Working

    This is a great idea, I thought about getting one myself. I would actually get something that is quiet enough you can still hear your tinnitus, so you can practice habituation with it. I don't think masking all of your tinnitus is a good idea.

    Sleep Deprivation — How to Mask High Pitched Electrical/Static Tinnitus?

    There are currently two schools of thought on this, some say you should sleep with noise and some say you should sleep with silence/your tinnitus. Lately I am more in favor of sleeping with sound, since I tried sleeping in silence/my tinnitus, and my tinnitus didn't get better because of it.
