I don’t mind who anyone votes for, but I have a question for the Trump supporters here: if he loses, will you accept the results of the election? Apologies if this has already been asked. My sincere hope is that over the next four years, we can begin to make meaningful changes that improve life...

This thread is nuts, lol. I don't know whether to laugh or cry. I'll likely do both.

The only advice I can give is to continue protecting your ears and allow them time to heal. Be patient with yourself, as the recovery process can be unpredictable. Once you start feeling a bit better, you might consider introducing some white noise to help you get used to sounds again. I do this...

Hi there, I'm really sorry to hear about what you're going through. Noise trauma can be incredibly distressing, especially when you're usually so diligent about protecting your ears. In my experience, I sometimes get fleeting tinnitus up to ten times a day, lasting 30 seconds or more. I've...

I'm sorry to hear about your concerns. I have been taking Gabapentin along with SSRI/SNRIs for many years, and it has not affected my tinnitus. Just to let you know, my tinnitus was not caused by medication. I understand the fear of starting a new medication while worrying about the impact on...

I don't know you, but you are obviously a person who feels deeply in a world that seems to have lost its depth and ability to distinguish what matters from mere spectacle. You are suffering, and the universe doesn't care. But I do, and people on here do. I don't know you, but if you do this, I...

I just want to say this thread is very entertaining for me; thank you to all the participants.

Hey, I'm really sorry to hear you're experiencing this uncertainty about your health. It sounds like you're facing a lot of questions about what's causing your tinnitus, whether it's related to Prozac or something else entirely. It's natural to wonder about all the factors that might be at play...

I am 34 now and generally doing well. I did not do much when I was suffering from hyperacusis. My hyperacusis very rarely acts up anymore, luckily. Still, when I have hyperacusis flare-ups, I don't do much besides try to rest and slowly build tolerance to sounds/frequencies that make me...

When I first got tinnitus, I clung to the "fake it till you make it" mantra. I tried to convince myself that things would turn around, that someday, the constant ringing in my ears would just fade into the background because no one could live this way. I was so desperate that I even volunteered...

Thanks for sharing what you're going through — it really does take guts to open up about these struggles. I've been there, dealing with a mix of sound sensitivity and the discomfort of tinnitus that made leaving home feel like running into a bee hive. The constant ringing in my ears, along with...

Hello @IYIiKe, your message resonates with me, as I've walked a similar path with my tinnitus. Those early days were incredibly tough — I remember feeling constantly on edge, locked in a battle with that relentless ringing, to the point where I feared I might lose my mind. Reflecting back, my...

@GoatSheep hello I have completed probably 2 or 3 Benzo tapers and I’ve never had any issues. I can’t remeber all of them but my longest period of time I was on Xanax was probably over a year. Where I was taking between 3-4 mgs daily. Also I’ve stopped using Benzos which I understand is not a...

Most here don't know me, I was an active member a while ago. I like to check in but I usually don't get involved in any of the threads. I felt I had to for this. I have always had great experiences with @Markku on here. When I was still active on here we had a fair share of issues and drama...

@Tom Cnyc @Ed209 I was active on this forum some time ago, and from what I have read (I haven't read every post in this thread - I think when I started there may have been 2,000 members here) I agree with much of what you two have wrote. I think they're are many reasons which explain the sort...

That's what I assumed. I was hoping mine was a temporary spike. But I've had an increase as well unfortunately. @Louise

@Louise im actually in the same position. But I do know members we have had on here who have gotten better after spikes. I don't know how active they are on tt at this point.

I think most people just match their t to the actual tone. So I payed different tones on you tube and found that it most closely resemebeled something in the 16khz range. The decibels I actually had a test done by an audiologist years ago where you match the sound with your t. I can't remember...

hi xenia, I have been a numerous flights since my tinnitus started. The changes in air pressure cause the ear to feel full, which will cause the tinnitus to sound louder for some time. In some instances it has taken me several weeks for the ear pressure to release even when I thought it was...

Merry Christmas to the TT community!! It's been a long time since I have posted but I won't ever forget TT, without it I don't know where'd I'd be. Hoping 2017 brings peace and joy to us all.

Happy turkey day all. I don't really comment much any more but I do check on the site often. To all my old friends your all still in my thoughts. To newer members if your feeling down and need someone to talk to feel free to pm me anytime.

@RichL Thats great to hear man, i cant tell you how happy i am for you. Good luck and take care!

I would give it some time. It's very early yet for you to try anything drastic. It could just go away on its own but maybe try some of the things in the link I gave. Hope things get better man.

@Jokko how long have you had these symptoms? Check out this thread. I am not cured but I'm doing better then I was. https://www.tinnitustalk.com/threads/myoclonus-of-the-middle-ear-stapedius-muscle-and-tensor-tympani-surgery.3924/#post-98624

Good thread Lilly, I think these kind of things which make your mind really think is great. It helps you to learn to concentrate again and let the tinnitus fall to the background. I used to have a rubix cube don't use it much anymore, but I do a lot of LSAT practice tests which have a lot of...

I think we once you get get rested and get home. You'll see that you're okay. And when it's over it might have been a positive experience. You might find that you can go on trips like this where your t might spike from sleep or stress or whatever else. And find that it's something you can...

Idon't write any poetry myself but I do like reading it. thanks for sharing all.

I'm sure some people took my postings as an attack on religion, it wasn't. There were simply some things posted here that were not true and i wanted to clear them up. For anyone who finds that god gives them meaning and purpose in life i'm happy for you. Dealing with T is hard enough so i can...

@geg1992 Many girls might. But many won't. It's a very small perrcentage of long term relationships that actually come from going out that is nightclubs and bars etc .You obviously still have feelings for her and putting yourself out there can be scary. Not to get into to much detail but since...

@geg1992 you don't have to apologize for ranting. I think almost all of us on here have ranted about something or another. it's important to recognize when you feel bad about something, seems to be like the first step for getting over any issue really.I also dodon't go out to loud bars anymore...

@Brianna I thought It would be more clear if I didn't explain to much of what qm is but looking over it I think what I wrote is misleading. when I said the wave function is not testable I meant that it is not when we expand it passed quantum levels. So it's not testable as we link this wave...

Yeah theaters get quite loud. I haven't been to a theater since my t started. I waited till it was out on DVD. You should be fine at home you can set the volume as low you need.

Hey Lynn I hope things work out. Keep us pposted it's something I'm thinking about getting injections as well.

http://www.worldhunger.org/articles/Learn/world hunger facts 2002.htm In every part of the world it seems like people have more access to food, and undernourishment is declining. There doesn't seem to be an escalation in famine. There is a huge ttp://www.joshuagoldstein.com/jgbio.htm. "Joshua...

No worries at all. Got it, i thought you might mean something like this but i didn't want make any assumption. Thank you for clarifying. I wont get to into this because this quantum mechanics is extremely confusing, like said before entanglement was something even Einstein couldn't wrap his...

I agree with your perspective on false hope, I just don't think hoping for a cure to tinnitus is a false hope. Its something, to me that seems much less complicated than some of the crazy things we have discovered to this point. There is a something called quantum entalgement in science which...

Do you mean that it would be easier to deal with tinnitus if we had hope for a cure? I think just by examining what goes on around us, in the world and the universe, I cant help but to think that hope is a byproduct of us being human and alive. We have made so many discoveries, both intended...

My first line where it says subjective subjective should be subjective truth

WHose truth are you referring to, I have no problems when people have differing opinions, but to present "SUBJECTIVE SUBJECTIVE", as objective truths is a problem. So i researched the author of this book, John Eidsmoe, he has a M.A. from Dallas Theological Seminary, and Masters in Divinity from...

Hey Shaun hope all is well, so i do think its String theory your talking about, i don't know of any other scientific theory which describes so many dimensions. ST happens to be something of great interest to me, so the 11 dimensions is just one aspect of string theory. The goal of ST is to...

I think your referring to string theory, which is not even testable at this point so there is no proof of it, and if it turns out to be true, it wont be good news for any of the organized religions.

@RichL Well said, just to add a thought, i think the fact that we can debate freely means we should as much as possible. Many people have gone to war to have the freedom to have these types of discussions, the arab spring comes to mind in recent history. Personally whatever decision or idea i...

They just said this is how the procedure is, the did the incision, the ents words, and then injected the am101 through the hole. Never actually explained why they did it this way from what i remember. Thanks @sakrt, I will admit i had high hoped for the trial but i am doing better then i was...

@physics13 As long your comfortable with you decision thats all that matters. I really hope things get better for you soon. The below is not me trying to debate you, i just thought you might offer some clarification. As far as im aware, Pubmed are not the ones who do the actual research maybe...

Not stupid at all. It was my biggest problem for a while. It seems like you are on the right path. There will be lots of up and downs, at least there was for me but I think you will be fine.

So the ratification clause you are referring to is this. Article. VII. The Ratification of the Conventions of nine States, shall be sufficient for the Establishment of this Constitution between the States so ratifying the Same. The Word, "the," being interlined between the seventh and eighth...

Except that the US constitution does not mention god even once, nor does it mention Christianity or Jesus Christ. The first amendment states. Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of...

Not that you asked me but like you said science deals with things that can be tested. Morality seems like such an abstract idea. Also who decides what's moral. From this thread it's obvious that something I wouldnt consider immoral others would. Also in the Bieber analogy whose to say the...

@Shaun I do wish i could believe but it has nothing to do with my ego. I wish i believed in a god and that there would be life after this but i just don't know. I believe in what can be proven, unfortunately science doesn't care about what i wish.

Im not sure how incision qualifies "as a new one". The chemical is esketamine I believe. I had it three times over three days. The AM101 thread has more then a few people who underwent the procedure and none have had the world ending side effects mentioned in the thread. Unfortunately i did...

I dont think is true, of course it would be ideal to avoid these unexpected noises but ive been hit with a ton, and so have many others but it doesn't mean that you have done any permeant damage to yourself. Some people believe that the ears are damaged and more susceptible to damage, im not...

Hey @chamferman thanks for the reply. They actually don't travel faster than light. Christopher Nolan and Kip Thorne argued about this for a while but Thorne didn't want it in the film because its not possible. High gravity probably wouldn't literally crush you, but im sure it could present...
