Hey Katie! First off, I’m so sorry to read your post. Not because I don’t appreciate it, because I wish you didn’t have to be here or deal with Tinnitus, it’s a tough condition and I’m truly sending the biggest hug to you right now. I just want to chime in and try to answer some of your...

@Ross McLauchlan Thank you very much for the detailed reply! Maybe I ask, was your spike permanent? Thank you xxx

Hi All, Just chiming in to see if I could grab some support? I had an engagement party last night, I decided I’d have a dance and try to live normally. I danced for s good hour or so, music was loud and so was outdoor area with tables and chairs (closed in under a cover and had to yell to...

Thank you all for the support and suggestions! I can’t thank you all enough. X

@Gav Thank you so much for the immediate reply, I’ve taken 300mg of magnesium but unfortunately do not have access to the others recommendations. My ear feels a little “full” and louder, if that makes any sense. But I can take more magnetism if needed, may I ask what dose of magnesium you...

Hi All, I’ve suffered with tinnitus for over five years now, I go ok with it sometimes, sometimes some days are harder than others. You know the drill. I often browse the forum, but I haven’t been on much of late as I’ve been busy and trying to always adjust. I have a question for anyone out...

Hi All, Haven't posted in such a long long time, just been living with it. I've learnt to live (I guess) with it. General question: I've had a spike (higher additional pitch squeal) in both ears after blow drying my ear canals. Now I do this after I wash my hair to dry out any possible water...

Thank you! I took approx 400mg or so of NAC last night, should I take anymore? One ear feels slightly stuffy:(

Quick question. Walking along the beautiful country side this detention, bomb. Harley Davidson motorcycle goes past. Metres from me, no time to cover ears. Got home took x2 500mgs of magnesium. Wondering if I should add some NAC to this? Can you take NAC with such a high dose of magnesium...

Hi all, Suspected throat/ tonsil infection, docs think I've grown resistant to penicillin and they want to trial me on some "cefaclor" to see if it can get rid it. Is "cefaclor" ototoxic in anyway at all? Any answers would be greatly appreciated, I want to start stat so I can eat and drink...

Hi all, Not new to T (one year now) and not sure where I'm meant to post this question...can I take NAC whilst on Amoxil (x500mg x 3 per day) ? Not sure if they mix negatively in the system or for T x

Hi all, I'm stuck sitting at work and I've had q flu like virus the past two days, been blowing my nose like crazy (probably too rough) all days my at had spiked a fair bit and I'm nervous I've done some damage to my T from excessive blowing of my nose? I'm on amoxicillin at the moment for...

Thanks for the reply:) can I ask what your dosage is?

Hi all, I'm about to be required to start a two week course of amoxicillin (500mg tabs x2 daily, for two weeks). Usual concerns etc....is this going to be ok for my T? Is it too toxic in any shape or form and is a course that long and strong dangerous to my already exisiting T? Im also...

Thanks so much for that encouraging response:) Yeah I did not spend longer than twenty mins at s time (three times max maybe?) in the pub whilst the band was playing. I'm very nervous it won't go down and am too scared to take a lot of NAC. Thanks for the support and well words:)

Thanks for the reply:) I read somewhere that it's been linked to kidney stones if taken in too high a dose in an vitamin C lacking body. I could have read that wrong though and it was a little while ago. Thanks for the support, what exactly and how exactly does NAC work for the hearing system?

Ok thanks! Should I take vit C with it? I heard that you need to because it can cause kidney stones if not?

Thanks Danny:) yeah no more loud live bands for me! Tried to give it a go and it's s no go. Even with the 32 decibel stop foam plugs I still felt the ground move! It was a large pub so I scooted to the back and outdoors majority of the time, still big spike:( Mod you know how much NAC needs to...

Thankyou! Thankyou for the encouraging words, I'm trying to live my life and not let T rule me, I didn't want to go to this band that bad and the minute it got to loud I went outside, wearing my earplugs still:) I think that just being around that noise regardless of the earplugs is not good...

Hi all, I'm coming up to my one year T anniversary:( and tonight I went to a local pub to watch a band play- naturally I hate that stuff now so I had my foam industrial earplugs in and spent no more than 20 mins at a time inside, I sat outside most of the night or sat in the back room where the...

Thanks for the response :) He did say that it was just a gentle release of locked up joints- I asked after why they crack and he said it's the gas' releasing after the joint is moved back? I'm just concerned as the spike isn't going down, do you think it might be permanant? I haven't seen...

Thanks for the response Sandra yeah I was really worried about it, he did say it was only a gentle release of the joints and the crack was from the gas' releasing, I'm just worried this spike will be permanant...I'm getting some anxiety that's rising from this and thought it would of gone down...

Hi all, I'm not new here, I've had tinnitus almost a year now. It took such a huge toll on me, the stress of it drained me and took me on a mentally emotional roller coaster. I've recently developed a concerning bladder disease that I'm sure was highlighted from all the stress I was under...

Hi there @Sharpfire I kniw what you are going through, it's not easy being young and having this! I am the same, went out less than my friends and i ended up with the T. I know right now it feels like it's your lowest point, and over the course of time you'll have your many ups and downs...

Also, I took some NAC this morning. Is it bad to take that when your in amoxil?

Hiya all!!! Long time no speak, I joined the forum about 8 months ago and haven't been here over the past month due to some other health concerns. I was just wondering if anyone had ever experienced a spike from antis? I'm on amoxil and have been for about a month (one per day) and I woke up...

In currently trying the NAC, what is Trobalt exactly and how do you come by it?

Hi there Cindy, My name is Stacey and welcome to TT, you'll find so many supportive people here, all so kind and willing to help you. Even if it's just someone to talk too. First off, I'm a guess some what of a "freshie" to T (8 months) and up until recently I was doing quite well in that...

Hi All, Sorry I know I just posted but I just bought some NAC for my noise induced spike, just wondering if it is still effective if taken up too twelve hours after exposure? I had to run around town looking for this this morning and the time I've taken it Im not sure if it will still be...

Thanks so much for the feedback all! Just wondering, I didn't experience any TTS (muffled hearing) after, so does that mean that there was no trauma done? Thankyou

hiya all! I haven't been on here in a while due to some other health related problems, but just in the midst of a spike that is rather upsetting. I went to a carnival tonight with my fam and forgot my earplugs! so silly! It was so loud, fireworks, loud rides, speakers within metres of my...

Thank you Nina, merry Christmas

Hi @Dr. Nagler I don't mean to trouble you, but I was wondering what your thoughts are on use of olive oil to remove wax? Or what your suggestion night be? Apologies for pulling you into this thread, just wondering what your thoughts on the safest option would be? :) Many many thanks

Thanks for the reply! You have some excellent points there! It's makes me wonder, back in the cave days, what someone would so if they had a blocked ear! Lol I have an ENT apt Friday so ill get him to have a look then. Thanks for replying :)

Hey there xanaxvictum, It's nice to meet you, although under different circumstances I'm sure, would prefer us both. I'm sorry that this condition has struck you, I wish that none of us had to be here. I want you to know that as a recent sufferer I feel where your coming from, but, I hope...

@attheedgeofscience what is your opinion if you don't mind giving? :) I'd really appreciate :)

Thanks for the advice! Really helpful:) I went to the doctor and she had a look and said it is so badly impacted with wax that they can not see the ear drum. She suggested waxsol or olive oil for do e days straight. She is not a fan of syringing and doesn't recommend it, but if worst comes to...

Hey Valentin! Just went to the doc and they said its completely full of wax and can't even see the drum it's that bad, she suggested olive oil or waxsol for five days and if it hasn't come out by then ENT to possibly suction :(

Ok so I need some help T people!! I am a member here and have been since the onset of my T a few months ago, since then I haven't stuck anything (including drops as I think this was a cause of thd initial onset) in my ears to remove wax since! I've just gotten home from work and I attempted...

Hey @Rocknrory It's nice to meet you:) My name is Stacey I am am very similar to you, T started about three months ago and I'm 22 years old. I also browsed the forum for a while before posting and them decided to introduce myself. Always here to talk Rory as I'm kind of at the same stage...

Hi There Jo! Its nice to meet you, obviously we'd all rather be elsewhere than here, but its nice to meet you and I hope you find the forum helpful. Ive met some wonderfully nice people here all with a story of their own, I hope you find the support you need, even if its just in the sentence...

Tank you for your story @Max very encouraging. Thank you:)

Thank you for the well explained explanation here:) I just want to point out if a miracle happens and that's the case, can we please make sure the party has extremely low music haha:)

Hey Lynn, just checking in and seeing how your travelling along? I was exposed to a short blast of a stereo for about 3-4 secs tonight and it scares the living life out of me! I was only a foot or two away and my gosh I am nervous. How are you and have have you gone since the fire alarm? I...

Hi Lisa, I was just reading over this, I'm so sorry that you had a negative reaction:( I have been researching this treatment and wondering if it was worth a try. I'm guessing no:( I'm wondering if your spike is from the stress of the treatment and the way the practioner went about it? When...

@J Cowan Hill Hi julian! I was just wondering, would this therapy work on any type of tinnitus? Whether it be noise induced, ear infection induced, tmj, neck and stress induced? I have no idea what caused my tinnitus and I'm still trying to figure it out, but if it was caused from any one...

Hi there! Welcome to the forum! I know this is the last place any of us want to be but I know you will find the support here a real help! May I ask regarding your increase, what type of loud noise you were exposed to and the length of time? I hope the injections go well, have you seen the...

Thank you for your post Julian! I think all of us here are going to find your information extremely helpful! Do you know or have any contacts within Australia that practice as you do? Many thanks and a warm welcome!

@Street Spirit Hi Lynn, Just checking on how you are going? :)

Hi Noah! How are you? I'm new here to too the forum and ill have to say, these been my very dark days due to a recent development of T, I've found the support on here amazing! People are so kind and are willing to have a chat to help you out. Do you mind me asking whether your T fluctuates...

Thank you for your reply! Wow, you are one truly amazing person if you have managed to overcome that level of tinnitus. Do you mind if I ask does it increase with stress? How do you go about protecting your ears? Now you have T? Was yours caused from hearing loss or sudden trauma? Etc. if you...

Hi Dr Nagler. Seven weeks ago out of no where permanant tinnitus in the form of the ringing appeared on both ears (worse in left) I have been extremely depressed and my anxiety and sleep patterns are all over the place. Up until last night I was learning to live with it up until someone a a BBQ...

Hi Dr Hubbard, Seven weeks ago out of no where permanant tinnitus in the form of the ringing appeared on both ears (worse in left) I have been extremely depressed and my anxiety and sleep patterns are all over the place. Up until last night I was learning to live with it up until someone a a...

Thanks for all your help:) it's been great! Regarding the "spike" I've notices on other people on here that when they took steriods it was because their spike caused pain and muffled wars etc. mine did not happen that way (touch wood) I only felt anxious and an increase in the ringing, I also...

Thanks nana, I'm not sure if its the anxiety or not? I woke up this morning and it was definitely louder! It's just how am I supposed to love my whole life scared of noises like that. An air horn is ridiculous and shouldn't be aloud anyways, but now Im going to forever (the next 60 years) walk...

Thank you for your reply again. Regarding damaged ears, I don't have a hearing loss. Only tinnitus, I'm heading to the doctor now as it is a Sunday and no ENT's are open. Do you think the doctor would be able to provide the core t steriods if nessecary? Or trust the ENT only? Thanks for all...

Thanks for your reply @theedgeofsceince, do you think the air horn (from two metres away) is cause for steroids? What would you do in this case? I'm not sure if my tinnitus is worse, or if my anxiety has pushed it through the roof. Thanks so much

Hi All, My name is Stacey from Australia and I'm 22 years old. On the 31/08/2014 I noticed an extremely bothering ringing in both era (worse in left) after I woke up from a couple of days of using waxsol drops and also going through some built up stress etc. I've always believed I've had mild...
