Hi everyone, I’d really like to ask someone with some motorcycle-experience some (possibly dumb) questions about motorcycles / tinnitus (or hearing loss in general). It’s been my dream for years to get my license, and I’ve been saving up since I was about 15 years old. Unfortunately at 19 I...

Anyone have experience with motorcycle riding + tinnitus? I really want to get my license

Still with the high pitch :’( Today I heard it (aggressively) while skating (aggressively). That hasn’t happened before

I simply don't want to have to casually explain the worst thing that’s ever happened to me. (And then be met with confusion or distrust.) My tinnitus gets structurally worse and it's a fucking punch in the throat every time. When it gets really bad I take a day off. I can't handle it 24/7, I...

10/10 would recommend cat

Did I convince myself getting a cat would get me out of depression? .. maybe. Did it? No. Is it still the best thing I ever did? 100% yes.

Am I responsible for my alcoholism or is tinnitus

Seems I posted my 'succes' experience a little too early.. horrible increase last week. High pitched t cuts through everything (!) :'(

Studying in the US is a completely different experience. Also, cicadas are LOUD!

First panic attack in almost 4 months.. back to xanax after a sudden spike. Pray for me y'all! :(

I agree! I can still hear my tinnitus above the 'masking' quite easily, though. I suppose maybe masking isn't the right word for it. For me it's a distraction from the tinnitus, not a complete masking of it.

In that case I believe hearing aids might suit you even better! Although I have little to no hearing loss, the option to raise the volume of certain sounds in my surroundings has helped me greatly. It's a more natural sounding type of masking! In your case the hearing aids 'filling in the...

(Disclaimer: I still have tinnitus, this is not a succes in terms of a literal cure) I'm hesitant to post this in success stories, as I know it's not always appreciated when the success does not entail a physical improvement or the disappearance of the tinnitus itself. But for me not being...

Got the single J&J shot yesterday and I feel like I've been yeeted off a high-rise. T seems okay so far though

Also, I'm FINALLY getting masking hearing aids.. I'm so happy

Moving to the US in August! Should I be excited or scared?

Texas Roadhouse founder Kent Taylor died by suicide after suffering from severe 'post-Covid related symptoms' Did anyone read this? So disheartening, my heart aches for him and his loved ones. To all of you out there considering similar course of action: please hang on a little longer, I have...

Thanks to MyNoise, tinnitus has not been playing a super large role in my life recently! I owe that app my life..

Also I lost the job that I got just last year. I was so proud of having accomplished something with t! Sad now

Downloaded a frequency app to make myself get used to horrible sounds. A very desperate attempt at habituation

It’s so loud guys:( I don’t care about all these frequencies anymore I just want the DB-level to be maskable, even just for a SECOND

Right ear sounds like - I want to say a fire alarm but then I might risk a lack of words when it starts sounding even more like a fire alarm

High and unstable ringing in left ear

My hearing’s gone weird. As in, apart from the tinnitus. Everything sounds weird and sounds hurt

I get fleeting tinnitus often, and when I do I’m always glad my permanent tinnitus doesn’t sound like that. Fleeting tinnitus is so loud it seems to cancel out certain hearing frequencies and in my case it always gets steadily louder as it goes on (for about 35 seconds on average). I always...

Newish symptoms: A low, pressure-like feeling. Fluttering eardrums, especially when I talk (?) & of course another good old increase

I’m on the train and I think I can hear my t through all the rumbling and mechanical sounds. (That’s what? 60db?) Help.

Now known as ‘the girl with the earphones’. But I guess that beats ‘girl in permanent state of serious mental breakdown’

So I literally haven’t stopped masking since one and a half year. There has to be permanent noise around me or I die.

I think there’s a (newish,) bilateral low humming sensation that’s almost pressure-like

There’s such a loneliness in not being able to really share your fear with other people.

Thanks for your concern, it was mostly panic as my hearing improved for a day (and is now back to muffled). I will be visiting my GP in an hour. I hope it’s not impacted because I’m not sure if there’s a safe way to remove the wax:/ perhaps it's infected and I’ll be prescribed some antibiotics...

Left ear has been completely muffled for two days now. I really hope it’s wax but it might be one-sided deafness :0

Haven’t been sleeping, and when I do tinnitus wakes me up at least five times a night. :(

Also, I’ve been tapering off xanax. There’s been a couple setbacks and I feel like crap but I’m slowly getting closer to getting clean :)

Still coping by masking. I can tolerate almost all noises except the ones in my head.

Oh hell noo

New higher frequency sound above all the others, it’s been 2 weeks, I’m worried now

Got my first decent mark since t! Still feel like they might’ve mixed up the tests :)

Ineffective is a strong word but dubious or possible placebo might unfortunately be fitting :( Still, I agree with @UKBloke, it’s only a small sample size.

Hi So this is a super long time ago but I’m taking it atm, did you end up getting any side effects from it?

So it turns out I’m severely allergic to amoxicillin :cry:

Hi everyone, I have to get antibiotics for an infection but I’m scared of taking meds in general and unsure wether there are any ‘tinnitus-friendly’ options. What are your recommendations and experiences? Thanks in advance for any feedback

Thanks for sharing your story! Glad to hear you’re doing ok. Wish you all the best:huganimation:

@Annpann Thanks for sharing your experience so far! I was starting to get quite worried about the possibility of placebo effect as the only explanation for any of the experienced improvements, but I cannot imagine being in ’complete silence’ - as you described it - possibly being part of that.

Suddenly lost hearing in left ear, it’s slowly coming back now. Quite a traumatic experience :(

Hello Dr. Nagler, First of all thank you so much for your contributions to this forum, you are a great source of expertise and your answers are always helpful. It’s so very kind of you to take time for us on here, thank you! I have been offered to consider taking part in a Deep Brain...

Hi Greg, I’m wondering, do you still ride?

I think it might (partially) have something to do with the fact that he claims to have had some form of tinnitus for as long as he can remember. He’s practically had his whole life to get used to it, it’s his ‘normal’. Aside from that I imagine he lives quite an exciting and distracting life...

https://www.google.de/amp/s/www.thesun.co.uk/tvandshowbiz/9426165/strictly-ben-cohen-tinnitus-unbearable-eyes-water/amp/ Interesting article on rugby legend Ben Cohen, who has only 46% of his hearing and suffers from (what he describes as) severe tinnitus.

It’s been two months after the spike, still no improvements

That’s very helpful, thank you for the information.

I’m not trying to be pessimistic, I don’t think all of them could be placebo but I’d like to have that thought confirmed, hence the question. Thanks for your reply!

I was wondering; are there currently any credible reasons to believe the (mediocre) positive results as reported in the Lenire User Experiences thread are not a result of placebo?

Right ear worse than left ear. Although the main sound is relatively low frequency I can now hear it practically everywhere
