You may want to consider getting tested for sleep apnea. Just a suggestion!

I have sleep apnea, so at night I use an APAP machine. I never wake up with my T being worse from a night's sleep. In fact, I wake up not really noticing my T. However, if I fall asleep on the sofa or someplace else without my APAP, I always seem to wake up with almost deafening T (a high...

I've been on and off various SSRIs (in low doses) for about 20 years for mild depression. I'm certain that they have contributed to my T. However, I need to take them. I tried natural supplements of all sorts but only the SSRIs actually helped me feel normal and happy. When I weaned myself off...

Hey, I was wondering if any of you have had positive ANA tests? I've have Hashimoto's Thyroiditis for more than 20 years, so of course I have antibodies. My ear doctor wanted me to get an ANA test, and the results came back 1:160 with speckled pattern. She was concerned that I might have Lupus...

I tried a 1:1 tincture and it made the tinnitus much louder. I think it was the THC. When I've had a tincture with a higher CBD to THC ratio (like 15:1) that doesn't happen. Of course, as they say, your mileage may vary! I was using it for back pain and muscle spasms in my back.

Interesting evening.....it was my husband's birthday. I was a little tired this morning and had some weak green tea (made it at home, steeped it for only one minute). I felt the caffeine kick in about 45 minutes later. I'm very sensitive to any sort of stimulant and treat caffeine like a drug...

Thank you for the info! I was under the impression that if you had extra fluid in you inner ear region, an MRI would show that.

Yes, if I had an alarm that made noise like that, I'm sure that I would continue to "hear" it after it was really finished! I've had that experience with the fan in my bathroom, which I usually only use when I shower to keep the steam at bay. I've been making sure to keep the fan off for that...

http://hearinglosshelp.com/blog/do-i-have-tonic-tensor-tympani-syndrome-ttts/ This is very interesting. I have Mis0phonia (as do my daughters). In fact, I didn't know that there was a name for this "proclivity" until one of my daughters began getting cognitive behavior therapy for her anxiety...

In the past few days, my T has improved quite a bit. I've been taking the diuretic every other day and trying to watch my salt intake. I am not cooking with salt (my family can put their own on afterward, if they want). I got some salt-free pretzels and don't put any salt on my popcorn. The...

I also did two little experiments this week. First experiment: The other day, the low pitch humming T was very loud and really getting to me, almost feeling like it was vibrating the side of my face. I inserted one of those blue foam earplugs into my right ear (where the humming seems to be...

Here's something interesting. When I insert a blue foam earplug into my ear (rated at I think 33 Db), within 5 minutes the sound gets much quieter. I can still hear it, but it's nowhere as loud. Right now I'm the only one home and my house is very quiet. Has anyone else had this sort of...

Celexa 15 mg

Tonight the T is very loud on the right side (where I have a little more hearing loss). And I swear that my ear and the right side of my have are vibrating! I have been poking around the web to find a sound that is similar. Listen to the attached sound. That's pretty much what I hear 24/7...

As a matter of fact, my psychiatrist had mentioned Deplin to me last year, but we decided not to change my meds at the time. Do you have any idea whether switching away from Celexa might make the tinnitus go away? You have an interesting theory about Celexa starting to poop out, therefore...

Regarding your situation, DanielUK, I looked up the parotid glands, and I think it's very interesting that they're in front of the ears. If one of them is swollen, it seems to me that it might affect your hearing. Have you ever addressed this -- why are they swollen and what can you do about it...

Thank you, that is very encouraging to read !!!

I have been doing a lot of thinking about my situation. It's a long shot, but....about a year ago I began taking Biotin to make my nails stronger. It worked very well for that, but it screwed up part of my TSH test. I have Hashimoto's (Hypothyroid) that has been well-controlled by Synthroid for...

I don't know. The doctor didn't say anything about an air-bone gap. I didn't see anything about that on the audiogram report. Did they need to do an MRI or CAT Scan to diagnose your condition? I read that it can be hereditary. Does it run in your family? I've been on the diuretic for a few...

Anybody????

I'm a 56 year-old woman. I've had tinnitus for about 10 years (high pitched buzzing). But within the past year, I additionally developed a humming (sounds like a truck idling in the distance, or a washing machine in the spin cycle in the next room). I found the hum disturbing, so I went to my...

I know this is an older thread, but I want to add something. I watched the PBS series The Brain recently. They showed with an MRI scan that even when you are thinking about doing something (or watching someone do something, like play tennis), your brain lights up as if you were actually doing...

Hmmm....just saw this in another thread on this forum: "However, as people age, the amount of aldosterone produced in the body decreases, because the adrenal glands do not work as well as they should." Well, being on prednisone messes with your adrenal glands, so I wonder whether that is the...

I've had T for at least the past 5 years (high pitched buzzing, like cicadas). But recently I have developed a low-pitched mechanical sound mainly in the right ear (like a car engine idling very fast or a piece of equipment). Sometimes it gets louder for no apparent reason. My head also sort of...

I’m a 55 year old woman. I’ve had high-pitched tinnitus for several years now and I’d gotten used to it. But just recently, I developed a low-frequency “engine idling” sound in my right ear. It is much louder when it is quiet in the room. It is there all the time, even when I put earplugs in my...

I know that this is an older thread, but I wanted to post my experience. First of all, I have noticed that when I'm sick or have a headache (usually a sinus-type headache), the ringing in my ears gets worse. Have any of you noticed that? I've been on and off SSRIs since the birth of my...
