I've been reading through these threads and there is lots of speculation about what the causes are, guesses, misinformation, etc. A lot of people going in circles. Pulsatile tinnitus is not tinnitus. Pulsatile tinnitus is a rhythmical noise that is synchronous with the patient's heartbeat. Most...

Matcha green tea seems to reduce my tinnitus. Maybe due to the L-Theanine? It also has a lot of antioxidants. I'd be curious to know if this works for anyone else.

A few months ago I found the cause of my pulsatile tinnitus (not my constant tinnitus). I had a dural ateriovenous fistula. I had the surgery May 7th and am now recovering. All seemed to have gone well and the fistula is closed. It was performed endovascularly, and now I have platinum coils and...

So, exactly one year ago I had acquired constant tinnitus from an antibiotic, paromomycin, which is an aminoglycoside. I struggled initially, but found some coping mechanisms which helped a great deal. Remaining active, running, biking, and spending time with friends and people I care about...

A while ago I was sitting on the couch and my tinnitus seemed super loud. Then, after I go do something else, I come back after a few mins, and it's barely perceptible. What's up with that?

I'm no stranger to these feelings. Even before tinnitus. Trust me, I can relate and understand with complete hopelessness, lack of self worth and wanting to end suffering. I have some experience with this (I am also not religious). Right now I am suffering extreme grief from a significant loss...

Nothing. No increase in tinnitus or discomfort. Perfectly fine. I had a great time. Be safe, use prudent judgement, protect your ears, and live your life. This forum could use more positivity.

Mine was caused by a single dose of paromomycin. What I experience: It started as some balance disturbance, pressure headaches, and a constant high pitched tinnitus. It seems like the balance issues have been improving. The head pressure, I'm not sure yet what's causing that, if it's related...

After a few weeks, at times it has gone down to a low hiss. Still noticeable. Other times, a high pitched tea kettle/dog whistle that I hear over everything. Then, only in the left ear do I hear the high pitched ring, and it changes pitches back and forth. And then, that goes away for a while...

On the internet in general and on this forum. I'm trying to find some indicator of possible recovery or remission. When aminoglycosides are concerned, there's always mention of permanent and irreversible damage. But I had taken a small amount, and there isn't any measurable hearing loss...

Meaning, even if tinnitus remains, do your ears become less sensitive again? Right now I'm a little over two months in, and though at times, I feel like things are better, my ears still don't feel quite the same. I'm not sure I'm describing it well.

My tinnitus was antibiotic induced. I'm a little over 2 months in. The volume seems to have decreased. I don't know if that means it's improving or I'm habituating. It's worse on the left side. Getting to the point: it seems like any noise exposure makes my tinnitus louder. Then if I'm in a...

My tinnitus seems less intrusive lately. It's not causing me as much distress. I'm about 60 days into aminoglycoside induced tinnitus. It definitely hasn't gone away. I can't tell if it's improving, or I'm just adjusting to hearing it all the time. Any thoughts?

I had taken Milk Thistle the other day and my ringing had seemed to increase to about where it was when it had initially started. After a day or so, it died down. I tried again, and same result. I thought maybe the effect would be similar to NAC because they both increase the synthesis of...

This is weird, right? I find it diminishes the volume of T.

I had mild exposure to paromomycin. You can read my introduction for a longer description. I had taken a single 250mg capsule. I'm about 5-6 weeks into tinnitus and facial/head pressure that hasn't resolved. I feel as though my noise sensitivity may have improved, and maybe some dizziness...

I'm about 30 days into drug induced (paromomycin) tinnitus. Are there a few things I should do while still in the early stage to mitigate any long term damage? I'd taken NAC, ALA, L-Carnitine, Vitamin C, E, multivitamin, B-50 supplement, etc. Any audio therapies or anything else I should try?

I have a way of stating things in a direct, matter of fact way, so I apologize in advance if this offends anyone, that isn't at all my intention. The success stories in this forum are a great resource. It offers some hope or light at the end of the tunnel for some. And it's true that many...

About a month ago exactly I had taken one 250mg capsule of Paromomycin, which is an aminoglycoside. I sat on it for a few weeks, I knew of the risks, but I thought maybe I was being too cautious. I had taken it for a GI parasite, Blastocystis Hominis, which is turning out to be near impossible...
