Hi all, I'm experiencing performance-anxiety-related erectile dysfunction (ED) and was recommended using ED medication (e.g. low dose of Viagra/Sildenafil) a few times to rebuild my confidence. I was wondering: is there anyone on the forum who takes Viagra/Sildenafil? Is there any change in...

Hi everyone! Does anyone have any experience with psoriasis and can maybe provide some encouragement? I have a red, scaling patch on my palm, yet to see my GP. I don't know why, but possibly developing this skin condition now, on top of tinnitus and hyperacusis, is really making me feel...

Sitting in A&E for 5 hours already. My heart realized that it's boring when it's beating regularly and is trying out some new rhythms. Also, I don't rember what the BP should be, but I'm fairly sure 170/100/110 is a tad too much

Hi guys, I've never been that much into music but I recently discovered that playing an instrument is a great relief from... all the problems really. Concentrating really hard on a pleasant task can be very relaxing :) But I was wondering if I should be wearing earplugs when practicing...

Woke up with very, very significant increase in tinnitus and MASSIVE ear fullness. Hearing might or might not be different in that ear, no idea - impossible to tell with this ear fullness. Contemplating going to ER, DIY hearing test showed nothing interesting, will repeat it in the morning.

Hi guys, Yesterday, I went to the dentist for a regular visit, quite calm and confident that there will be no problems as there was no drilling planned. However, my dentist told me that plaque/tartar removal is long overdue and we have to do it. I couldn't do it. She used that ultrasonic...

Hi guys, I have Alpine PartyPlugs that I really like. These are filtered earplugs that are transparent so they are a little more discrete. In the manual: There is this bit that suggests that you can remove the filter, shorten the earplug (so it's a little less visible) and put the...

Hi guys, Straight to the point (you can even skip the first paragraph): I'm going to grab a pint with a girl I met recently :) I chose a bar that is nice and cozy, and it is rarely ever louder than 80dB. Average around 70dB. I doubt I'll ever find a place quieter than that. Unfortunately...

Hi guys, Just wanted to know your opinion on the issue. I've seen (a completely incompetent when it comes to tinnitus) neurologist and he suggested I should get MRI. My tinnitus is noise-induced and I have no doubts about it. I know MRI is damn loud... Should I do it anyway? P.S. Dude was...

Hoping to wake up with my ears being better, not worse. They feel so damn full and I have to fly tomorrow. It's going to be tough. Hope you're all doing all right guuuys. Crap, I'd love to see a cure for this madness in the next 50 years. So I can at least die in silence. PS Past month...

Hi guys, I have a dilemma. A long time ago, before I got tinnitus, my family planned a trip to Canada (and Alaska). I have (noise-induced) mild/moderate tinnitus and moderate hyperacusis (traffic noises, cutlery, larger groups of people talking (like a room before a lecture) are problematic)...

I don't even know why I'm writing this. In the last few weeks was doing AMAZING: in all areas of my life - handling H, tinnitus, slowly getting back bits of social life I had before tinnitus. This recurring pattern: whenever things start to go GREAT, I screw it up again. I had an incident...

Bad news, bad news. I was setting up a mouse trap. Ive never done this before so I didn't know how loud this think can be. *SNAP* And my left ear exploded with tinnitus. It now became so much louder and high pitched. Like in the worst nightmare. Loud as only fleeting tinnitus ever was. But...

Hi guys, It's a long(ish) post but I would really appreciate if someone reads it... So I had a 5 "good days" last week, including 1 day of barely audible T!!! This week was a bit tougher, but I blame final exams related stress. I was getting 7-8 hours sleep, every day!!! Anyway, I really...

Hi guys, I had a terrible day today - T, H, aural fullness, anxiety, more anxiety. As bad as it was during the first days after the onset. No ability to concentrate -> no work done -> even more anxiety. Exams and deadlines coming! It's never as bad as you might think. I won't give up. Ever...

Hi guys, I'm trying to live normally, I'm trying not to let this imaginary noise control my life. I won't go to clubs or concerts anymore. That's fine, I won't miss it. But what about other situations? (all dB values measured using an Android app, so probably somewhat inaccurate) Like...

Hi guys, Negatives first, skip this part if you don't feel like reading negative stuff today: The toughest week of my life so far. I have "club-induced" T since last Friday, so it's been a full week now. I was told by my GP that in situations like mine T in most cases goes away "but it will...

Hi guys, I'm 19, I live in the UK. I went to a club last Friday to celebrate my friend's birthday. I left the club after 2 hours and my ears are ringing since then. Ringing is loud (???) as I can hear it at top of most "every day" sounds (if I listen to it). The ringing isn't so bad for me, but...
