I take 3mg every night to help me fall asleep, I'm slightly under 50 years old. It simply makes you tired within the hour after you take it. I use the Nature's Bounty brand. It works well, my audiologist actually recommended it to help with the tinnitus. I suppose if you are asleep the T...

That is correct, I went back to my doctor after two weeks for a check up on the progress of my eardrum healing and overall feeling of the ear. He recommended I go ahead and stay on the drops until they were gone, I had plenty left over. I told him I had at least two more weeks of drops left he...

Good point, I have seen many folks on here discuss the Ciprodex issue. There are some people whom are affected by that drug, for me it was 28 days for my friend it was 8 days. Very tough issue to solve and perhaps the drug is useful for most people. For those that are affected negatively by it...

It has been several months since I posted any news regarding my progress with my tinnitus. First off I will say that it has improved, no more pure tone, only a hiss that I notice for less than 12hrs per day. Sort of like when you yawn and get some head noise but a bit louder. I have noticed that...

I forgot to add that I have been taking the Lipo Flavonoid plus since March 1, 2017. During the past month I dropped down to just 4 pills (2 doses) twice for about 3 days each time. During those times the ringing picked up and when I went back to 6 pills (3 doses) the ringing improved, it didn't...

I did protect my hearing even closer then I used too. I wore double hearing protection in any loud areas whether it was called for it or not (work). If I was in an environment where I could possibly hear something loud I would tear an earplug in half and just use the half plug. That way when out...

As of today I have only a hissing tinnitus, usually quite low in the morning hours only to pickup to a louder hiss around noon every day. I'm back to working out, which does cause a slight increase then it settles out so overall it's no where near as bad as that pure tone or even the tonal hiss...

I just thought I would give an update since its been about three weeks. I have had about thirty hours of quiet time since the ringing came back March 1st 2017. It has now been two months of taking the Lipo Flavonoid vitamins and taking NAC and Magnesium on occasion. I also take Melatonin to help...

Check out what I just posted about my experience to date, more so the one today. Thanks

Good news, I did the Sudafed and Nasacort for about 6 days total. I will tell you that my GP did say that the Sudafed may increase the volume of your tinnitus, boy something made it increase. I took one Sudafed waited to see if it would get louder and it didn't, then took the nasacort and...

I realized April 4th, through online research, that Eustachian Tube Dysfunction can lead to tinnitus and or add to it. I have had no less then six surgeries (tubes) when I was younger so Eustachian issues were common with me years ago. Both Doctors, GP and my ENT, missed the fact that when my...

Good luck to you as well (Parfait), hope things work out sooner rather then later. I spoke to several Doctors about those drops being ototoxic and even the ones that say if they are the chances of them doing any real harm is very low, unless the round window in the cochlea was also opened due to...

Hi I'm in the same boat as you, glad to hear the acupuncture worked for a bit I may have to try that too. You can read my story so I won't re-hatch here. I have had this very loud ringing now for a month, this past Friday I had two hours of silence while I was up and doing things around the...

I keep investigating why I received such loud tinnitus so suddenly. Everything sort of points back to those Ciprodex drops that I used for alomst a month, under supervision from a Doctor. I went in after two weeks of start and he said everything was looking good and to continue the use. Is...

Back from the Hyperbaric consultation, we discussed at length the risks and benefits of the procedure. They also say that there isn't much benefit to going "shallow" when a good depth for healing is 40-50 ft or about 2.5 atmospheres. Doing research you start getting ear pain around 1.3 to 1.5...

I have had two hearing tests done, one at my place of employment and the other at the ENT's office. They both showed the same results within the margin of error for those tests. That is why for now I really don't think there was any substantial damage to the hair cells in the cochlea, but who...

In the middle ear, the energy of pressure waves is translated into mechanical vibrations by the three auditory ossicles. Pressure waves move the tympanic membrane which in turns moves the malleus, the first bone of the middle ear. The malleus articulates to incus which connects to the stapes...

Spoke with my GP Doctor today, also a follow up visit to ensure the patch is still there and I can try that hyperbaric chamber. We discussed the possibility of the Ciprodex drops being ototoxic, he never heard of that but didn't discount it either. Now my part in this, I did look up some of the...

I certainly hope they're not ototoxic. The GP Doctor nor the ENT ever mentioned anything of the sort. I see my GP doctor today for a follow up visit and will ask then. Thanks I did some online checking and the way it looks they might be, but now it comes down to what's worse having an ear...

Went to meet with the audiologist this morning and we decided to take a wait and see approach for the hearing aid. This may still go away or diminish on it's own. I am to keep up the sound machine routine at night to help my brain focus on that instead of the ringing. (habituation)I also...

I understand your anxiety, I was the same way. Have your hearing tests then they should determine where your losses are at from there you can figure out what frequency your tinnitus is at. Hearing aids can help or eliminate tinnitus. My father has tinnitus that is quite awful he has been wearing...

I am also new to this tinnitus thing. Mine really picked up about 5 weeks after an ear slap from a friend of mine.(unintentional) more importantly though try some Lipo Flavonoid vitamins, you end up taking 6 a day for 2 months. I'm only a 12 days in but they can't hurt. Also, just try and relax...

Thank you, I read earlier this morning about hyperbaric chambers and there use to treat tinnitus overseas with varying degrees of success. Well just happen to have a center within a reasonable drive (20) miles so I called and left a message for them to get back to me on Monday. They say going...

Thanks Jenni When I was typing that up my head was full of a 4 kHz tone probably not the most coherent writing I ever completed but it does help to write the experience out. Glad I found this forum, many great people with positive attitudes. This "T" is so incredibly odd, for a few seconds I...

I sustained an ear slap on left ear from a friend on Jan. 21, 17. Went to GP Jan. 27, ear felt full and hearing was not correct, ear drum red, swollen but not ruptured had some drainage of sinuses so was given some meds for that. After weekend and some popping noises, which relieved the pain...
