Hm, that doesn't sound right.

I'll google as much as I want and need, thanks bud! Those are the most ototoxic meds yes, but there are others. You're just showing off your ignorance here. No idea who Neil Bauman is. No idea what Prochlorperazine is, it hasn't been mentioned in the thread. As for antihistamines, I only...

So relatable. I'm a wreck when it comes to these things: my heart starts beating fast and I feel fearful just to hear my neighbour stomp around above me at night. It's like I have PTSD of some sort.

Reading through this thread again. It’s insane how specific some of these symptoms are, like it stopping and starting rapidly when talking or when other sounds of moderate level are heard. Exactly like mine to an eerie degree. Mine came in these insanely loud attacks though, like someone pushed...

Doctors love to say that, don't they.

Benzos, and probably Z-drugs as well, are basically a temporary cure for tinnitus. This is well known among tinnitus researchers. However, it's mostly considered a non-viable treatment because of the massive potential for side effects and addiction.

Your "tinnitus specialist" might be right, I also suspect tinnitus can be caused by psychedelics if there's already a predisposition or existing hair cell or synapse damage. Maybe even by some other mechanism entirely. But without further motivation your specialist may just as well have been...

Two weeks isn't a long time. My tinnitus varies a lot but every time a new sound that later became permanent first appeared, it was much much worse in the beginning and after 1-6 months they all decreased significantly in volume to the point of being so low I can barely hear it over my "usual"...

749 million people have tinnitus worldwide, says new study

They seem to be different, though I don't understand exactly how. J&J is a vector based vaccine that, similar to Pfizer, instructs cells to start making the antibodies or spike proteins, but Novavax is just straight up spike proteins ready to go. The effects of Novavax on tinnitus remains to be...

Source?

Available starting today (in Stockholm).

I did for a while. Now, I don't. 2 new intrusive sounds out of nowhere and 5 years of chronic pain without known cause. Wish I was sleeping every minute I'm awake because I can't die yet. Sleep is the next best thing.

It's not really controversial at this point, but still rare. Which brand of the vaccine did you take? 5 weeks is still new. There is still hope that it will fade away, especially since it's not a classic case of noise induced hearing loss related tinnitus which is more of a done deal once it...

I used silicone earplugs + earmuffs in a 110 dB SPL MRI twice. I made sure to request extra pillows since the vibrations readily enter the inner ear via bone conduction otherwise. I did get a new tinnitus sound during the same 2-3 months as this, but I have no idea if it's related. I didn't...

Could be, but I have TTTS and it doesn't sound like a Geiger counter/typewriter. It's a much lower frequency sound and I can feel the muscles contract (same sound as when you yawn deeply, which contracts the tensor tympani). It's possible TTTS can produce other sounds or not be felt as a...

This type of tinnitus usually isn't caused by hair cell damage from noise, ototoxic medication and so on which is good news since that type of tinnitus usually sticks around. So far I agree with your doctor, although MEM is one of several possible causes (ENTs usually want give a definitive...

This latest worsening came randomly it seems. Got the new tone previously, but it went away, then came back and seems to be persistent this time.

The real double whammy is living with chronic pain and tinnitus: can't treat the pain because meds makes tinnitus worse.

Can I ask why you think your tinnitus increased? My tinnitus has always been unmaskable simply because the frequency and "amplitude" is so high. My "solution" is to focus on other sounds (always podcasts at night), not try to mask the tinnitus. I'll say this: my tinnitus has seen better and...

You probably know this, but Tolle has tinnitus as well.

I'm also Swedish, the restrictions were lifted shockingly fast huh? So starting Monday, I will have to commute and see people every day. In 1 month, I will have to be in close contact with mostly elderly patients every weekday for 3 weeks which is far from ideal for them. I'll get Novavax as...

I do see the advantage of a small bone conduction device, but only for practical reasons: small and discreet (hearing aid type sound enrichers are a hassle to use). Can be used at the same time as earplugs. Apart from that, white noise is still just white noise so nothing groundbreaking...

Yes. There's something comforting about this: the best thing for the virus is to kill less and infect more people.

Not disagreeing with you in the slightest. One thing to keep in mind though: the sheer amount of people who have taken the vaccines worldwide makes the relatively small influx of people who report they got tinnitus from it on this forum negligible (but not for them, on a personal level). And...

It's a bit of a long story. I had very mild tinnitus at first, it either went away or was so silent I forgot about it. During a very strong mushroom experience I was meditating towards the end of it and noticed my tinnitus again. It went very fast from there: it ramped up in volume during the...

I mean, if you don't think you can tolerate the tram then stay in your apartment. This isn't really something anyone here can answer I think. For me personally: I could never live in that apartment. Not being able to use earplugs because of tinnitus rules out that option as well. People have...

Maybe try this: No headphones. Get soft dome monitors known to work on low levels. Work in a very quiet environment. If your ears can tolerate 80 dB, fine. I'd still stick to around 70 dB. If you don't have hyperacusis then you should be able to keep on trucking like this with ease (as...

I see. Well, after having looked at the site and with my extensive knowledge about the subject, not many alarm bells go off. Still, since his cause of tinnitus is very rare I don't think it's a good idea to recommend mushrooms to people with tinnitus. I'd have to try his technique to really...

What's your point?

It's also a gathering place for people who are very sad and disappointed with their life. So don't take it too personally when people sometimes lash out in different ways (not saying that's what happened in this case). Even for me, it can be hard to read people being able to "mask" their...

Take any given supplement, herb or drug: it will affect people's tinnitus differently.

So I'm yet unvaccinated (tinnitus fears + hereditary heart dysfunction which may or may not matter). Novavax should be just around the corner in Sweden, I'll get it as soon as it's released. However, I'm pretty sure I'll catch Omicron before then since Sweden lifted all restrictions and I have...

I don't think any mammals have the ability to regenerate hair cells, but birds and fish do.

Your audiologist should be able to tell you this, but if the bone conduction thresholds and air conduction thresholds line up, that points to sensorineural hearing loss, not conductive.

Permanently?

So she got a shot, then got COVID-19 shortly after, and still thinks the vaccine was responsible? Am I missing something here? Kind of a similar situation with my SO. Got sick just after she got the vaccine (I as well, I'm unvaccinated still). That was 6 months ago and she got a bad...

Hi! Tea and ceramic maniac here... Mostly, almost only, drinking Sheng Puerh these days. My first teapot was a Tokoname pot by Hokujo, never gonna sell that one although I haven't had much Japanese tea lately.

My tinnitus has improved in general. These 2 new tones are much lower than when they first appeared, much lower than my "main" tinnitus that came first. I've gotten used to my "main" tinnitus at this point. And I hope this cicada sound will follow suit if it's here to stay. The biggest thing...

I was asymptomatic when I got COVID-19, it was a year ago. I only got 2 new tones. Would not have known I had COVID-19 if my partner didn't test herself. I am living a happy life. Not compared to before tinnitus, but compared to the first years after onset. Life will never be as good as before...

COVID-19 seems to cause temporary or permanent worsening of tinnitus. Myself, I got 2 new permanent tones.

Microsuction can cause acoustic trauma. This is known. No need to draw any further conclusions about nerve damage etc. I can almost assure you that you didn't get acoustic shock syndrome from microsuction. Since your hearing was attenuated when the earwax was in there, what you describe as...

The hard ones last way way longer, but if money isn't an issue go for a soft one.

Living a happy life in spite of my tinnitus, never thought I'd see the day. In 1,5 years I'll be a certified audiologist.

No. I find Ashwagandha helps against stress and anxiety, but I eat so many different herbs it's impossible to really say if that's just an expectation or not.

Would this be better for people with tinnitus?

Everyone experiences fleeting tinnitus and it's normal, I don't know where you got the somatic angle from.

I see what you mean. I could never take my own life because people depend on me, love me and so on. Getting cancer would take the "blame" away from me. Still, my aim is to survive this horrible condition until old age. But let's just say most of the time, the fact that death will at some point...
