@Alue, what otoscope do you use? The image quality is fantastic.

How are you doing now?

Anyone come forward that has been confirmed yet? If not, the wife and I were both confirmed Wednesday this week. Houston TX

Unfortunately I find myself visiting this website once again after a major setback. I managed to pick up a pretty good routine over the past 3 years, to the point of were the tinnitus no longer bothered me or affected me. This past Monday was my 30th birthday, and I took off work to relax, and...

Has anyone noticed changes in volume, with changes in hyperacusis? For example, as my sensitivity is getting better with time, it seems that my tinnitus is getting louder. My theory is, my tinnitus remains the same level, but since things aren't as loud to me anymore it takes more to mask it...

Just wanted to give some insight to people that have not flown since tinnitus, and might be worried or are flying in the future. I recently flew last week for the first time since my onset 2 years ago, and I was a nervousness wreck. I flew on two jumper planes which are typically noisier than...

Pillow speaker and Mirtazapine " Remeron" saved my life and allowed me to get my sleep schedule normal. I'm slowly getting of Mirtazapine at the moment, as i feel like i don't need it anymore.

When I talked to the doctor on Monday, he said that this was as safety trial or phase 1.5. So im assuming they are not in phase 2 yet. He said 34 or 36 people cant remember what he said would be enrolled, and 24 would receive the drug

Damn that sucks..... I sent in my paperwork yesterday, and mine only dips to 20db at 2k hertz and then back to normal, so i guess I don't have a shot. Anyone know an ENT where we can fake an audiogram??????

I called and spoke to the the receptionist as I'm in Houston TX ,and thats only about a 2 hour drive for me to location. They want me to send my Audiogram. I have a slight 20 db dip a 2k, but most of my hearing loss is over 8K. So I probably wont qualify , but i'm going to send it anyways. Will...

Anyone fly with their custom ear plugs? I'm flying for the first time since tinnitus, and trying to decide what the best solution would be.

Anyone taper off Mirtazapine? I have been taking 15mg for about 10 months and trying to figure out the best approach to take on this.

Hey quick question for you..I have read some of your post about your ear cracking, Mine does the exact same thing. If I touch it, my voice, sudden noises and so on. Have you found anything that has helped you?

I didn't see BR 2049 so I cant really compare it, But it was like all electrical/ horn sounding and if you say "BWARRRRRRM" out loud it did sound pretty similar.

Just wanted to give everyone here a heads up about sound for anyone that want's to see Annihilation. The movie was fairly quiet, no over the top explosions or anything, mostly dialog. However, towards the end of the movie there is a scene that has extremely loud music/sounds that last about...

I would like to know why funding for research is so hard to come by? Why doesn't the US Gov chip in considering Tinnitus and Hearing loss are the number 1 disability they pay out for our military?

Wonder when this company will be publicly traded? I need to get me some stock in Frequency.

I saw this today as well, and was like really?!?! what about hearing loss!!! I would have to make the assumption that hearing is still part of the governments interest, considering it the number 1 disability our veterans face. This is huge news that the Government is showing interest, should...

Probably scared they are going to make their condition worse, but I completely agree with you.

Get custom musician plugs made. They are literally the best thing you can get, and don't effect the fidelity of sound.

So my theory is, fix the hearing loss/nerve damage, fix the Tinnitus/Hyperacusis. When I think about the brain, I compare it to a computer. If you take a program, and remove part of the code what happens? The program errors right? If you input the same code again, and re run it, the program...

Thx Guys

How do I obtain this pink noise CD? or where can I get a high quality download I can listen to?

Get you the below sound machine, and a pillow speaker Marpac Dohm-DS All-Natural Sound Machine https://www.amazon.com/Marpac-Dohm-DS-All-Natural-Sound-Machine/dp/B00HD0ELFK/ref=sr_1_1_sspa?ie=UTF8&qid=1511970516&sr=8-1-spons&keywords=sound%2Bmachine&th=1

Well Benzos suck to come off of just FYI. I was on one for 2 weeks in the beginning and got hella withdraws when I stopped. Remeron was a game changer for me, and I'm on the lowest dose they make. Are you using sound therapy to sleep? SSRI drugs like Trazodone, Remeron, Doxipin and a few...

Why don't you take the advice of your doctor and try an SSRI?

I would say things are relatively the same....Not really sure if it got better or not, but my reaction sure did. As far as doctors go, I have been to 3 ENT'S. My primary ENT that I continue to go to if I get an ear infection or something like that, I feel he's a good doctor, but like all ENT's...

Can anyone else make their ear crackle by touching their face or ear?

Are you running the sound straight through your TV or using a secondary audio source like a Soundbar or HT system?

Game 7 tonight, we got this.

Did it help you at all? I'm still debating on doing it or not. Work would be the biggest hurdle for me.

Its crazy how the guy just continues to let him do that, and get in his face like that. It put me on edge just watching it. My ass would be going to jail for assault if anyone ever did that to me.

NAC gives me the worst gas. Anyone else experience this haha? I could clear out a room if I wanted to.

Tiya, If you don't have tinnitus you don't need to be on this form, it will only make your anxiety worse. This form is filled with a lot of negativity ,and people suffering. Stop listening to music at high volumes!! This is how you get tinnitus. Please consult a doctor/therapist and get help...

So I emailed Dr. Shore asking to participate in the clinical.... I didn't realize I would have to travel to Michigan once a week for 4 months, that would be pretty rough as I live in Houston Tx. If she would have said once a month I would definitely do it, but once a week will cost a fortune in...

I have a normal audiogram and can here people talk fine with foams in. If you have hearing loss that might be a different story.... Linked are the ones I'm talking about...

Get the customs made. It took me two weeks to get them from the day of my appointment. Now this was in the US, if not in the US I don't know how long it would take. Mine were made by a company called Westone. In regards to the others I would say get the 19DB. Macs also makes foam ear plugs...

Not a problem at all. Talk to your doctor about some good nose sprays if this just turns out to be ETD, and not an infection. Take Care

You don't need to worry about Zyrtec and the other allergy pills causing ear damage. In fact, I kind of hate Tinnitus Talk due to all of the false information and people scaring other members due to Ototoxic drugs. If you think about it everything is Toxic if the dose is high enough...

If its due to fluid and its a Middle ear infection then they will give you Oral antibiotics. If its just fluid and no infection they will most likely give you nose sprays. If its an middle ear infection ask for Amoxicillin Or Augmentin which is a little more potent than just amox. If they...

Sharp ear pain, and occasional itching. Every once in a while, I also felt like something was going to drip out of my ear.

This is what they typically prescribe Cortisporin Otic Solution (neomycin and polymyxin B sulfates and hydrocortisone otic solution) I just got done with an outer ear infection and there was no increase or problem using these drops. I have had to use them twice since i got tinnitus

Ear drops are not anything to worry about, as they wont go past the ear drum. If you have a tear in your ear drum or its a middle ear infection they wont prescribe drops. They will instead give oral antibiotics.

That's good to know.

So do drugs like these only help in the acute phase?

I'm not sure which one you are on, but Remeron saved me. My biggest hurdle was sleep and it aloud me to achieve that with just 15mg. Are you sleeping okay? because that seems to be the game changer for a lot of people.

Are you taking any medication to help?

To get rid of the noise......isn't that why we are all here? I was making a point, that if this was in the US, and was aimed at hearing loss, I would in role. I understand that this test is not to fix hearing, it's just to understand how much of the drug makes it to the cochlear. I think...

I understand that, I was just making a point. How man severely deaf people are there in the world that need cochlear implants? The answer to that, Hundreds to thousands to Millions, and they cant get 15 people? Sounds like they need new recruiters

That's insane. How can you not find 13-15 people? I think there is a bigger issue here. With all the people posting on these forms, and pleading on the internet for a cure, you would think enrollment would happen very quickly. I would sign up in a heartbeat if I could, but according to doctors...

If this works it should definitely help me. My Tinnitus is noise induced, and I can modulate it by jaw movement, touching my face and tensing my neck.

Hey John, Sometimes I feel like it's improving an It will go away, and then other times I feel as if its gotten worse. I have been doing the Magnesium for a bit , but in the citrate form. I recently just ordered Magnesium Glycinate as I hear its the most absorbed form. My biggest hurdle at...

John has your tinnitus gotten any better? Like you, I got mine from a loud concert and I'm just curious if you have seen improvements.

Hey Joy, I got my tinnitus a little over 8 months ago from a rock concert. I've been to the ENT probably 10 times since then, due to ear pain and constant fluid issues. They test my hearing every time and its always normal, of course they only test up to 8ooo htz. What's weird is I never had...

Michael, I have a question for you since you have done TRT and seem to be very experienced. Does TRT help with TTS symptoms? IM having issues with hyperacusis and TTS. My own voice makes my ear click/spasm, and also touching parts of my face. I figured if i could get rid of the sensitivity it...

Sorry for the late reply. Have you visited Dr. Chang, and had a follow up with Allison audiology? Also, have you heard of this place "UTD's Callier Center"? it seems to be a place people seem to recommend

Anyone know of a specialist, or a TRT clinic in Houston Texas?

To brief of an exposure to cause any damage. I get hit with sounds like this all the time, as its completely unavoidable in the noisy world we live in. Might upset your H a little if you have that, but not going to cause any damage.

Does anybody know where I can download an ultra high quality copy of pink noise so I can work on desensitizing myself?
