No, my tinnitus hasn’t gone away. Some days I can barely hear it, and other days it’s quite loud. But the good news is, it’s no longer much of a problem for me. In fact, I recently left my job at the hospital and took a position as a site manager in construction. I only wear ear protection...

I did not get any. I was told if I got the placebo and there was a significant hearing increase in others I could be given a real dose at a later date. So I decided to let them find out what works and doesn't.

I'll take you to dinner and won't run away after you tell me you have T!

This is wrong. I have mild hearing loss in one ear and was accepted in the trial and went for physical. I left the trial after some concerns with getting the half dose.

Exactly. Bi#:$ing at each other who has it worse or the docs don't know anything about tinnitus does nothing....zero weight. These threads mean nothing to the outside world. They rank right next to last week's paper.

My aunt is a nurse and has had roaring tinnitus since she was a teenager... she now has profound HL and wears hearing aids and still works as a RN. I had no idea she had tinnitus for 35 years until I got it 19 months ago. She is fine with it at work... as a matter of fact she doesn't even think...

Unlikely, I am phlebotomist and a Medical assistant and I have children screaming in my rooms everyday. I also have two small children screaming in my house everyday also. It's just not as loud as we perceive it to be. Life is just not worth putting on pause for tinnitus. Since this is a...

I wish there was a dating thread on here!

I have the exact same tinnitus. Your description of it is exactly like mine. No time or reason why tinnitus does what it does. I just go about my day on the loud ones and I know it will go back down soon enough. Eventually I feel like I just stop caring about the loud days.

Same here. I had it daily, now maybe once or twice a week.

My kids have been screaming at me for a year and half with acoustic trauma tinnitus. We can't hide from life with little kids....they don't understand and you just gotta not worry about it.

You lost your job?

I would definitely head to the doc asap to see if hearing is damaged and make sure the eardrum is structurally sound.

There is a lot....but rest assured you will be ok. Millions and millions of people live great lives with it, although at this point you may not have to.

Hi Aegyo, I also have variable tinnitus that goes from almost silent like yours to a loud electric hiss and tea kettle sound and some days somewhere in between. Today there is a snow front moving in at it is very loud, but there is nothing to do about it so....meh. Unlike yours I have hearing...

Extremely unlikely to cause a spike or any sort of damage.

It seems really strange to me, but some people do not care they have it. My uncle is one of them. He has heard loud crickets for 20 years and no one every new. I ask him why it doesn’t bother him and he said it just doesn’t. Some people it just doesn’t phase them.

Yeah that's true but it does suck thinking I could have been apart of history as one of the fist subjects to get their hearing restored. I hope I don't regret it down the road!

Your attempts at extreme fear mongering are for sure getting old....ignore button engaged.

This is as bad when someone on here said if they had tinnitus and a child they would find a way to get rid of them or make their death look like an accident.

This is stupid, you can't lay in the bed and stare at the ceiling all day. Get off this thread if you want rational advice from someone.

So all of the millions of people with tinnitus sit at home and don't do laundry or go out to eat? And they don't make a living as well. All of our combat veterans leave the military because of it and if they don't they get worse. Wow that is a big surprise. Where did you get stats? I guess I'll...

Some sounds seem loud out of my right ear and I get the pain sensations in that ear as well.

I think so but who knows... at least that is what they told me.

I think it has to do with the dosage...maybe they will need more to make it work or maybe it could make the signal go haywire. I don't know exactly but it just said that there was a risk of the unknown effects.Plus a hole in the eardrum which should heal.

Because most do not. The list is BS.

I'm so sure millions of people with mild tinnitus don't go to restaurants or take there kids to an arcade. They are all for sure going to worsen their tinnitus? Seriously, this is the epitomy of fear mongering. How many cops and fire fighters have tinnitus and work many years with it. I'm sure...

Or I had a good chance of getting the half dose or placebo and that is why I ultimately decided not to. That would suck to spend 4 grand traveling back and forth and only get a hole in your ear.

I think the are mostly talking about tympanic injection and just the fact that they are changing the physical structure of the inner ear I guess. That may cause more hearing problems.

Your ear is like 2 percent of your overall surface area. Tell her there is another 98 percent available...Ear is off limits.

Yes it is me. Hearing loss was a possible risk from injection and altering the mechanical parts of your inner ear might cause hearing loss as well. Also there is a bit in there about dosage. They are making an educated guess right now on what will be enough. The hair cells could start to...

Am I allowed to post some of the risks and/or timeline from the paper I signed, or would that get me in hot water or not be good?

I would like to clear things up pertaining to the timeline. I was in the FX-322 trial before bowing out after my physical and did not receive the injection due to some fears and risks brought to my attention. I was the fifth candidate back in August and I have the schedule for the patients...

Down to moderate loss on the right side... left is mild loss. They took a little time to get balanced out, but on the bad days they minimally help the tinnitus. I started with one but it is really weird.

Maybe you're right....But I can tell that the 165 dB blast from a .50 cal BMG 3 feet from my head did not leave me with a pleasantly quiet and non-intrusive noise in my head. Oh and having to learning how to use a hearing aid 38 years old has been just the light of my life.

I will just leave for today and tend to the wounds. Good luck with the next pack attack on the next prey who waltzs' In here with a different outlook on things.

How is posting on here "getting out the truth"? It's like trying to tell the world good morning with a whisper while in your bedroom closet. You caught me I was sent by the ATA to keep everyone quiet.

Well the truth isn't going to be recognized campaigning to each other on here....this is a support forum for "support" and people who are afraid and come in here and read this garbage and leave terrified. And that's the truth with these threads. No one is holding back a cure. I wish they were...

Well they are doing a lot more for their fellow man than "those" advocating fear and suicide at ever turn.

I have hearing loss on one side....and hyperacusis.

He is right. Millions of us live with it everyday and just don't care. If you can't hear it in a pub setting then you are good my man.

Because people get depressed and want to vent and seek comfort from others, and that is ok until they start advocating that everyone will end up there. That's when you CAN NOT feed into that fear. We just want to be our old selves, everyone thinks about "better times" but life is linear and...

Yes you will. Once you lose the fear of hearing it it will fade to the background and you will not care what it is doing. Your brain will work its magic over time and just not care. There is a rugby star I met in my playing days named Ben Cohen (one of the best players in the world at the...

Check out TED Talks with Rebecca Alexander... Deaf with cochlear implant and loud tinnitus...and blind! Usher's syndrome, but she is living life to the fullest!

Stethoscope is not even close to sounds of traffic. You are going to be good my man.

This....Oh and I love coffee too, and maybe you I think. I'm a sucker for red heads!

I like your optimism....but we just don't know what will happen with human subjects at this point. I was in this trial at the end of summer in San Antonio and decided to leave it after my physical and 1st consult. I was made aware that there is a risk that there could be hearing loss caused by...

You can have a happy life. You are young and A lot of people think there will be a treatment at some point soon, as do I. I was accepted into the FX-322 program this summer and spoke directly to The Dr. Administering the injections. They do believe it will help with tinnitus if all goes well...

It sucks but there is nothing to be done about it, Everyone hates it. The road of despair leaves you aimlessly wondering around in circles. Look up Rebecca Alexander on TED Talk for some inspiration. She has ushers syndrome and no hearing and loud Tinnitus after cochlear implants. Oh yeah she is...

Johnny Depp has shitty tinnitus...A tone of A in one in ear and b flat in the other. I'm pretty sure he hasn't lived a sheltered life of a 60 year old. And I know he has done LSD, although I myself probobly wouldn't. Plus Treaments are coming I suppose. I just say Fuck that noise and move on.

You're gonna make it....habituation takes time and it will happen. Notm matter what negativity creeps in by your own thoughts or others. Most people move on and live great lives. I mentioned the H word so there are going to be some fear mongering in this thread. You can and will make it!

I worked with another home inspector today who has bad tinnitus for thirty plus years from shooting a .45 into a creek bank and didn't know what it was called. He asked me why I had ear plugs in while they were pouring concrete. And I told him I had tinnitus in one ear from a gun shot...he...

Kids scream at me all the time....they seem really loud but I don't think they do damage.

I'd say it's a temporary spike

I experience loud sounds in my sleep also...it's called explosive tinnitus and is harmless.

@SugarMagnolia I had an actual explosion go off a hundred yards away from me two weeks ago and it was loud as hell....nothing happened to my T. Today I woke up and it was bothering me so I fretted and got super anxious about it again and now it's raging. In my experience anxiety is way worse...

@HSL80 I am also 37 with two children. How did your T come about?

I had tinnitus from a concussion for a few months several years ago. Back then I didn't know what it was and never thought about it....It went away. I think there is a better prognosis for tinnitus from a concussion.
