Speaking as someone who has taken and taught online courses, I say go that route while you figure out how to deal with your hearing issues. The quality of education you get from an online course (as long as they are well done courses) is as good as an face to face course, IF you are the sort...

Just started on taurine 48 hours ago. I think I am getting some reprieve? I am not mega dosing like some of you though. I may try ramping up to a higher dose and see what that does.

Well it is good to hear that it went well. My biggest concern is whether I can do a bike race in early August. My Dr. Says "SURE~! why not?" While I am reading all over the place that you can't do anything that exerts yourself for 6+ weeks. That would suck more than the surgery.

I am having something called Corneal Cross Linking done. It is done to try and stop a condition called Kertaconos from worsening. What it does is strengthen the cornea and keeps it from misshaping anymore than it already has. In some cases it even improves ones eyesight from what it was pre-op...

This is just a quick vent, please ignore me. I get to have two eye surgeries in the next 5 months. On a positive note, I am sure it will take my mind off of my tinnitus for a few hours each time.

I know, right?! It is a whacky condition let me tell yah

Does anyone feel that their arthritis and tinnitus go hand in hand? Reason I ask is that a change in seasons is always a killer for my bum knee and ankles, but it would see my tinnitus is coming along for the ride this year. Thoughts? Cheers, Krispin

Just did my first Blog post since 2016. It was a popular blog at one time, but now it is time to get back at it. Have a read, hope you enjoy http://www.keithrispin.com/random-thoughts/journey-into-the-din/

Good afternoon good people of the ring, or should I say Fellowship of the Ring(ing). :D Would be interested in helping out. I love writing, but am not a medical professional. Have had tinnitus for longer than I can remember, so lets say I am experienced. I have research skills, AND I think I...

15ish mg. Give or take

CBD doesn't make my tinnitus louder, but it does improve my sleep, which is when my tinnitus bothers me the most. I am not waking up in the middle of the night and listening to it for an hour or more before falling back to sleep. I just power though the night and getting a good nights sleep.

Unfortunately, it would seem for the majority of people CBD oil does not help with the Tinnitus.

Woke up to silence... There you go. Have the Dr. Prescribe sleep and lots of it. I would be all over that.

They wander down off the mountain looking for easy pickens. Especially when the blackberries and peoples gardens have foid ready to harvest. When my kids were in elementary school they would have bear days and they were not allowed on the grounds. Usually once a year we will get a cougar...

Hell, just stop off at my place in North Van and you can see them in my back yard.

I am ashamed to say it, but... I have not seen any of Eastern Canada so I cannot say with any kind of certainty. I hear Toronto is nice if you like big cities. Montreal and Quebec city are beautiful. (I'm going to there this summer) Maritimes have a very unique Canadian culture. Prairies...

Oh! and there we go. A crack in the foundation behind where the furnace goes. Good times!

Sweet! I Am Tinnitus Talk famous. That is a little creek that is 5 minute walk from my house.

Wow! Vancouver to Houston. That must have been quite the adjustment, living in a super liberal city then moving to an uber conservative one, although the 60's 70's weren't like it is today.

My family came from England (both sides) in the 1880's to Vancouver island. My parents moved away from the coast in 1952 because my father had a job In a city called Edmonton and ended staying for 35 years. As soon as I graduated from high school I moved back to the coast and have been here ever...

I am blessed to live where I do. Not many people have what I have at my disposal.

Ok so I am a rotten no good teacher who gets waaaaaaaaay too much time off and yes, I am in the midst of one of those times. Two days before the break we have a family emergency so we cancel our spring break vacation and my wife heads off to look after her parents. Such is life, we did what we...

As helpful as this community can be, I think spending a ton of time on it can be more detrimental than helpful. Let me explain. My tinnitus was gradual onset. Truthfully, I cannot remember a time without it. Because of this, I think I have adapted well and I doesn't occupy a ton of brain space...

Looks like there is a major marketing push going on for Lipo Flavonoid right now https://lipoflavonoid.com/content/22-lipo-flavonoid-60-day-challenge I am interested but based on what I am reading here... thinking no.

I live on the side of a mountain on the outskirts of Vancouver. 5 seconds to the middle of nowhere and 20 minutes to Downtown (in good traffic) https://photos.app.goo.gl/rFRcPGMdZIyIn3PF3 https://photos.app.goo.gl/NePxNk2td2rl3Ltm1 https://photos.app.goo.gl/zqV8J3c83YDUfsZl2...

Hero... No. Sucker for punishment a definite yes

Senior kids are generally ok. Deeper voices, less energetic. Junior grades!! OMG. Grade 8's and 9's are great kids, but loud squeaky voices coupled with high energy... your head is spinning by end of class.

I work full time as a teacher and in class, the tinnitus doesnt bother me. During class it is the hypercausis that almost kills me. After class, I just want dark and quiet as my tinnitus spikes. I have 10 more years of it to go. Good times! Cheers!

I would really like to get the bose quiet comfort 35's, just to get away from environmental noise at the end of the day. When I try them in the store, my hearing aids beep like they are connecting to the headphones by bluetooth and it seems to me that the tinnitus is significantly dampened and...

Wow! You are all going hardcore. Hate to think of them having a whoopsie! While frying out some brain cells, but I can understand the desperation.

WoW! I struggle keeping under 150 grams.

It is frikin miserable here in Canada today (yes every square inch of it), but other than that, I'm pretty happy.

Yes that is some devotion Drecul has for a plant and if it gets rid of the tinnitus... That is great. As for me, CBD is definitely not getting rid of my tinnitus directly. As I said in my last post, I can only attribute any reduction I am getting from taking CBD to helping me get a better...

Day 3.5 40 mg of bcd before bed. Slept amazingly well. Tinnitus did not keep me away at any point. When I compare my Fitbit sleep measurements, I am getting a better night sleep than I have had since I have owned a Fitbit that measures sleep patterns. What has also happened is that my sinus...

Day 2.5 Before I go much further, here are my details... I have chronic Tinnitus that I have had since I can remember, chronic sinus issues, Age/occupation hearing loss runs in my family. Do not smoke weed or other, drink socially and use NSAID's for occasional joint pain. This morning 20mg...

I love the experimental spirit of the tinnitus community. I will have to add curcumin to the potpourri I am experimenting with. Will add it to the CBD I am trying in a week or two. I will have to research conflicts between the two.

So I started taking CBD yesterday... No my tinnitus has not miraculously disappeared nor can I say it has diminished, BUT at this moment, I am not getting the razors edge peak that I usually have and the ringing is more balanced between the two ears. (left is usually more dominant) I also didn't...

Depending on the day and what you are doing, it can range from 40db's to 80+. Hallways between classes, I imagine well above 80. Haven't measured there. What kills me is the constant din of a normal classroom regardless of volume. Sorting and attending to all the signals in the classroom has...

More often than not I have a handle on the kids, it is just the nature of grade 8's and 9's. They simply have a lot of energy and are very interactive with each other and the teacher. Back when I was young it just made for a busy day and I could get to the end of the day feeling I accomplished...

Unfortunately being a librarian where I am, requires a master's degree in library sciences. My master's is not in library sciences. Oh well...

Unfortunately retirement is at least 5 years away. As for teaching only senior classes... there are not enough to fill my schedule. I need to acquire an admin job or perhaps night shift with the janitorial crew.

Anyone out there have any tips on dealing with the overwhelming affects of classroom noise? My senior classes are not an issue, it is the 8's & 9's who send me for the exits. I don't think I can do these high energy grades anymore, as it takes hours afterwards for my tinnitus to calm down to a...
