    Pre-Existing Hearing Loss/Tinnitus: Are the Ears More Delicate and Susceptible to Further Damage?

    I have a 55 dB hearing loss notch at 4000 Hz and a tinnitus tone to match it. I've had it for years, and for the last couple of years, I have been mostly habituated. I recently fell out of habituation because I went to a couple of loud social events. Of course, I wore good-quality earplugs, but...

    Can You Recommend Some More Affordable Hearing Aids?

    I've got a 60 dB hearing loss at 4000 Hz that causes my tinnitus. Although I've been mostly adapted to my tinnitus for the last year, I am having a bit of a spike right now, so I just got back from a hearing aid specialist and tried on some hearing aids. They really do seem to help my tinnitus...

    Arcoxia and Hearing Damage / Tinnitus

    I recently was prescribed 7 days of anti-inflammatory painkiller pills for a pulled shoulder that wasn't healing on it's own. I researched the painkiller --Arcoxia-- and it appeared to be like Ibuprofen but with less known ototoxic effects. I take hearing tests all the time using my noise...

    Hurricane Induced Tinnitus...

    The hurricanes in the Caribbean have missed my island, but if you are in their path and have tinnitus beware! Even if you are sheltering in a secure building, apparently when they pass it can sound like standing next to a freight train or jet engine for 12 hours... so make sure you have...

    New Record

    I was outside watching my kids sports day today and when I got home I realized that I hadn't thought of or noticed my T for 5 hours! That's a new record! Hurray! Of course, now that I've noticed not noticing it, it is blazing loud again :)

    Prednisone Just Improved My Hearing 8 Months After Onset

    Ok here's the story. I injured my ears with loud noise back in April... 8 months ago and have had tinnitus ever since, especially in my right ear. I've got the standard noise damage dip at 4000hz (right ear has lost about 45db, left 35). Last week I was coping... the T was there all the time...

    A Close Call?

    I have had hearing loss at 4k and tinnitus to match it since I was exposed to loud white noise while sleeping bad in April. It took a while to start habituating but since the AM101 trial failed and I lost hope of a near term cure it has accelerated quite a lot. I have gone from thinking about...

    Things to Do After New Sound Exposure?

    So I went to a very loud show last night. I took all the precautions I could... wax earplugs first and then an external, over the ear sound blocking headset. It was not enough. My T has gotten quite a bit louder this morning. I can hope it is only a temporary spike but I want to do whatever...
