I had no idea how incredibly homoerotic the music video for this song was...

Yeah I wake up with T every morning, take a look at myself in the bathroom mirror with my shirt off and thank god that I still look damn handsome. (jokes) :)

Hey man, that's a good amount of exercise. You can definitely lift heavy regardless of being skinny although I would temper the weights to a moderate weight. This is advice gleaned from some big injuries by going very big for many years. The yoga is awesome man and I want to start getting back...

I noticed a few brahs on here like Nick the Swede and Steve were gym rats. I figured we could have a thread where we talk about workouts, cultivating mass, getting swole, and such. Personally, I haven't worked out in several months after I blew out the old L4-L5. I've recently decided to get...

I've already had hissing in both ears. But I only had a tone in the left. It just strikes me as odd to develop a new tone in my right ear suddenly with no apparent reason, considering that I am under 30, did not have any loud noise exposure, do not take any kind of drugs, and do not have any...

So I've had a hissing in a both ears and a tone in my left. This started a little less than 3 months ago. Just about 30 minutes ago, I was laying in bed and all of sudden, I have a tone in my right ear as well. It's lower than the tone in my right but it's definitely there along with the...

... a quarter mile at a time. :) (couldn't resist)

My major concern has less to do with bravery and more to do with not letting fear control you. One can eliminate fear without courage or bravery. For example, one can overcome fear through logic and reason. As you said, if you choose not to do something because you don't want to open yourself...

Would you describe yourself as a Type A personality OP?

Yeah, I don't worry about these kinds of scenarios because they are too far out of one's control. If one were to worry about an airbag going off and increasing one's T. One should be even more concerned with being T-boned and having one's neck and spine irreparably damaged. I think it's...

I think Jeffie and Linearb both touch on some very interesting and valid points. I would side with Linearb in being dubious of applying OSHA guidelines as a hard and fast rule for what you can consider a safe volume. As Linearb mentioned, everyone's body is different, so we will all respond...

Agree with the above poster. The chances of an AN are very very unlikely, and even on the extremely off chance that it's present from what I'm aware most cases are benign. On top of that even in most cases where it's not benign for the vast majority, the surgery for removal is quite safe. So...

That's awesome Kathi. It's great to hear that you are doing well. At 18 months, I'm sure even brighter days are in your future. :)

I don't think it's their genes but rather ours. I have come to accept the fact that I have some little wimpy school girl ears that couldn't hang with everyone elses'. (sigh)

So an ENT gave me some drugs for my ETD several weeks ago. I was hesitant to try them because I didn't want to take drugs and end up with worse T. I figured I try biding my time and seeing if my ETD would subside on its own, but it has remained the same. So my question is, has anyone had...

That's great man. I wish you continued success.

I've mentioned it in a previous thread but I have both a high-frequency tonal T and noise(hissing) T. I could see how someone could habituate to hissing T to the point where they would not notice it unless they listened for it, but I was wondering if there is anyone who has reached this level of...

Yes, I think a lot of people use the word ringing as a default because colloquially ringing is synonymous with tinnitus. However, I think a much smaller group, if any, actually hears something that could be described as ringing (at least by definition). You also reminded me that I forgot to add...

OK so I've categorized then sub categorized some of the sounds so far. Tonal: A steady constant tone of sound in one or both ears. Tonal T is described as having a variety of different sounds depending on frequency and pitch. The sounds have been described as being similar to: the emergency...

Could you describe your tone a bit more? For example, is it like an emergency broadcast signal, dial tone, whistle?

I've been on this forum for a few months now, and I noticed that people use different terms to define the sound of their T (e.g. fluttering, buzzing, tonal, etc.). I find myself a bit confused at times because I don't know how to describe the sounds that I hear so I thought it could be helpful...

Hey Guys, Update. So I got the brain MRI today. I was very worried about the sound but I used a pair of foam ear plugs and they held my head in place with some air pillow type deal on both sides and the sounds were not bad. Interestingly enough, the spinal MRI I got done on Friday, where I wore...

Hello Dr. Nagler, First, I'd like to thank you for all your great work. Your letter helped me, and countless others, in our earliest (and worst) moments of T. I am due for a brain MRI tomorrow because I have been having some nuerological symptoms and I am a bit scared. I will be wearing a pair...

Hey you guys, I have to go in for a brain MRI on Monday. Because their machine holds the head in a small basket, I can only use earplug (can't double up with ear muffs). It sucks because I just recently started habituating pretty good too. I did a spinal MRI today with both ear plugs and ear...

Hi Everyone, I may need to go in for cervical surgery due to a disc injury pressing on a nerve (cervical myelopathy). I was wondering if anyone else has had to do this. My initial fear of course, aside from the fear of surgery, is that it would make my T worse. But I actually stumbled upon...

I have no idea. But the trapezius is related to the neck so it's possible that it could be that.

Thanks for your reply Mark. I didn't consider that. I have admittedly been under a great deal of stress over the past few months. It resulted primarily in stressful nightmares (the dream where you realize you didn't graduate from school and you have to go back and finish a test you didn't study...

Hello everyone, New to the boards. Here's my full story if you guys want more details: https://www.tinnitustalk.com/threads/so-many-possible-causes-i-dont-know.8364/. A few nights ago, I woke up to a ringing in my left ear. It has since become louder, but weirdly enough, it only happens when...

Hello everyone, Here's my story. It's a long winded version but I have so many possible causes it can't be helped. I went to a dangerously loud club about two months ago. Of course I stood too close to the speakers and stayed way too long (four or five hours). I'd only been to clubs, perhaps...
