    ...because the banks couldn’t cover it. They’ve been rigging the Forex and precious metals markets for years and nothing is ever done about it. A slap on the wrist and a small fine is about all that ever happens because they control too much and have too much power. In 1933, there was an...

    Lenire — Bimodal Stimulation Treatment by Neuromod

    Tinnitus from Conjunctivitis

    ...well. I use a CPAP machine as a result. Last night the filter went bad and caused a weird issue. It was making the one ventilation flap noisy. SLAP SLAP SLAP. Ugh. Fixed it but only near midnight. So I saw my Audiologist yesterday and he was incredible. He said due to my symptoms and what...

    Can Tinnitus Spikes Subside After Months?

    The spike can certainly last this long, and still has plenty of potential to go away or at least diminish over time. Be sure to take precautions to not have any additional noise expsoure, or else it can certainly respike or worsen as well. Feel better soon!

    Setback After Daughter Slapped Me on My Ear Twice!

    AM-101 TACTT1 Results Released

    Noise induced T is not brain issue. Hard slap on ear can make 170+ Db, this is enough to start T. Its more than gunshot (155-160Db) Its logical, that is more activity in hearing part of the brain, because damaged inner ear nonstop sends phantom signals to this center and that is why it is...

    Dentist Claims Dental Work Cannot Make Tinnitus Worse

    Hi, I went to the dentist on the 25 June 2019, had a check up and a clean, unfortunately I had never heard of a ultrasonic cleaner before. The hygienist asked if I had any medical conditions and I told them I suffer from tinnitus, however she still went ahead with the clean which took about...

This lasted for ~48hrs, when I stopped taking the Ciprodex the whole head ringing stopped. Makes sense then right? The Ciprodex...
