    In Need of Support/Wisdom. New Tinnitus Sufferer.

    Update - I did 5 sessions of HBOT but stopped because I got a horrible cold. Sinuses stuffed all week. That is bad news for HBOT treatment. I'm not sure if I will continue. I can't say that my tinnitus has improved all that much. The good news is the "cricket whistling" has lessened slightly...

    Thanks, that's the plan. I felt pretty good after a lifting session yesterday and will be returning to the gym today.

    Hey all, Wanted to post an update I'm 2 weeks since the onset of my T. I started a low dose of prednisone day 6 of onset and got bumped up to a high taper starting day 11. I also started hyperbaric treatment day 10. I've done 5 sessions already, can't say if it's helping at all. I would say...

    Do you think it's worth it for me to find a clinic that offers this DPOAS test? I am not sure if it would provide some closure or just worsen my mind state if the results aren't so good. That said, could the findings lead to some sort of way to "tackle" my situation? Yep, I got my T in the...

    Yesterday was a pretty good day for me in the road to recovery. I went to the gym, the T was still there, but I felt like the Prednisone was doing it's job and felt some hope. I didn't have an issue falling asleep without a white noise generator. The weirdest thing happened to me this morning...

    I am sorry if my post sends bad vibes. I am not trying to spread that. Just been a tough time for me personally.

    Thanks Cameron. I would say my whole life has been turned upside down for now. I have been praying that this subsides. One thing that has definitely helped me has been the support from my parents. I've been spending a lot of time with them. I almost feel guilty that I have also put this burden...

    Hi all, 7 days ago I woke up with perfect hearing. I never had any hearing (or eyesight) issues my entire life. Unfortunately, later that day I exposed myself to severe acoustic trauma. Until I myself can accept what happened and move on, it's hard for me to tell the world how I acquired my...
