    35 Years Old — I'm Starting to Feel Like an Old Man

    You are your thoughts. So, what you have/don't have in life and what other people say about you mean nothing unless you assign them meaning. Basically, instead of thinking "I'm too old to do karate" you should replace it with a more realistic thought "I am never too old to learn anything...

    Hyperacusis without the Pain

    I don't think this is the only kind of pain that come with H. I too feel TTTS in my left ear when it is quit loud and before I could feel it every day in class. Maybe it's different with other people but for me the pain that comes from this is easily bearable and easy to ignore. But sometimes...

    A Chinese Medical Report Shows Cutting Cochlear Nerve Cured Tinnitus

    ...on those nerves and see if we can isolate one of them precisely. When I have some more time left I'll search for some articles on this, perhaps we can do some facial stimulus tests and record a change in the auditory potentials. I'll ask someone to slap me in the face and compare ABR's haha.

    Botox 70% Success Rate as a Tinnitus Treatment!?

    No not at all for Autifony, My understanding is that they are working off a similar theory that is the communication from the auditory nerve and the brain so makes allot of sense that botox would work if it does indeed calm the activity in the auditory nerve! Rich

    Ear Rings Like After Hearing a Gunshot — Anyone Else?

    Sorry this is happening to you. Your post caught my eye because I have a couple of doctors who want me to get an MRI, for a matter not necessarily related to the tinnitus. Since you had a bad result from yours, I was wondering, did they not offer you hearing protection when you had yours done?
