5 years ago Markku suggested that it would be a good idea to have a party in Paris once a treatment that helps >50% of sufferers comes by. If MuteButton succeeds then who is down for the idea?

Don't mind me. Just my imitation of Tumblr's site visits plummeting after banning adult content.

Visual snow is a visual phenomenon that's extremely linked to tinnitus. For the most part, it kind of looks like this:

Curious what the potential price of future treatments could be.

I had an intro post (two actually) but neither really explained my journey with tinnitus. So I decided to explain my tinnitus background. Back in May 15, 2016, I woke up with loud tinnitus. I assumed it would go away overtime. I didn't know what caused it at the time, but I'm pretty sure it's...

Hey. I have a question that I can't get a good answer to. What is 2% of 90dB? I know dB is a logarithmic scale, so could anyone help me figure this out? Thanks.

This isn't a sarcastic question this time. I was actually curious. Would having tinnitus today be equally as terrible in terms of treatments as 2,000 years ago? I did a lot of thinking and research. The final answers I came up with were somehow all three. We're better off now, we're not really...

Think about that for a second. It's 2018, which means it's been 2018 years since the splitting of time in the Gregorian calendar. The earth has orbited the sun 2017 times since that splitting (Because there's no 0 A.D. So since the split; it's been: 63,658,828,800 seconds 1,060,980,480 minutes...

Usually I don't care about this stuff but I heard a guy on some other forum say it reduces his tinnitus by half. I wonder if there's truth to this. To simplify this question in a way nobody can misinterpret, does mindfulness meditation help in reducing tinnitus volume, or is it useless for that?

This TRI was pretty impressive. I thank him for his great efforts in keeping us updated. So during his time, we got to see great researchers show up and talk about repairing hidden hearing loss and hearing loss. Even though Susan Shore couldn't show up, her students did and gave an in depth...

Today was an awful tinnitus day. I though about it, and how there's a good chance I won't have it as loud for much longer because of research, but there's also a good chance that nothing happens. After today I realized that there's is no chance I will live past 2020 if my tinnitus doesn't get...

My family has three cats. We just got a new kitten last weekend. With all the people here with dog profile pictures I assume that this is mostly a dog person site. But to you other cat people, could you post pictures of your cats?

What are the decibel levels required to make every step? Like how many decibels required to mask is mild, normal, or severe?

My neighbor plays his damn stereo every day extremely loudly in his garage with the door open. Now he started a construction project and as I speak, there's a 110dB jackhammer in his house blaring int MY backyard. He blasts his terrible country music whenever I get home from school everyday...

The second worst part of tinnitus other than tinnitus itself, is always being miserable. I've always been a negative person and I'm proud of that, but I've just been much more negative since getting tinnitus. I guess I wish I didn't have tinnitus so I could be less miserable.

That this is still fact and idiotic apologists cannot refute this. Sorry not sorry.

I came back from a two week vacation, which is why I was gone so long. I couldn't access wifi there so I had to bring a ton of games anyways. Apparently there's been a large development in Signal timing, Otonomy, and some scientists have mostly figured out how to transplant stem cells into the...

Who here has TMJ besides me? I know me, Alleycat, and Carlyi are the TMJ trio of this site. But who else here has TMJ tinnitus, and what helps with it? Yesterday night I massaged my muscles near my TMJ joints, and my tinnitus went away 100% for a few minutes, and is quieter today.

I've been wondering what religions the people of tinnitustalk follow. I think we can finally put to rest the age old question of what religion is more likely to give you ear problems :^)

Well I went to the dentist earlier and they did some x-rays of my jaw, and some examination. According to the Orthodontist my jaw is definitely misaligned (already knew that but whatever), and both of my TMJ joints are dysfunctional. Also it's leading to my neck being misaligned. The good news...

I hear that zinc deficiency may exasperate tinnitus. I never thought about it, but after reading on it, it makes sense. Apparently one of the groups of people who lack Zinc the most are vegetarians, so I'm at pretty big risk for that. Aside from meat I also don't eat legumes or beans, and need...

A year ago I got tinnitus from impacted earwax. When I got it cleared earlier this year my tinnitus completely went away for a bit. On my way home from the general doctor I was hearing cars, and my hyperacusis made everything louder (from having ears plugged that long). I got tired of the noise...

My jaw goes into my right ear somewhat. As I've mentioned before, I have Jaw misalignment. I don't know if resolving this will get rid of/reduce my tinnitus, but I thought it was interesting that the jaw protrudes into my worse ear (right ear). I decided to give the best illustration of what the...

Everytime I lie down for more than a minute my tinnitus reduces by a lot. It varies between 1/3rd and 2/3rds. Any insight as to why it does this, and can I utilize this to reduce my tinnitus overall?

My tinnitus is extremely somatic. Everytime I move literally any part of my body it gets slightly louder. Unless I move my jaw, which it gets much louder (or to the right, which I can actually make it quieter). My tinnitus gets much quieter when I lie down for a minute or two. Why does it do this?

Hey. I am taking a small break from the site to try to distance myself from tinnitus. I decided to give an update before I disappear back into the woodworks. Lately I've been on a journey of self discovery (of my tinnitus). I decided to take a long break and try to listen to it in pure silence...

I officially get to see an ENT in a month. That's good. I am hoping I can get some answers that can help me reduce my tinnitus. In the meantime I have a dentist appointment and will look at TMJ. I've noticed that when I bite down for a long time, my tinnitus spikes (according to a doctor here...

I mean, yeah I know I have ETD. Non-diagnosed but all the symptoms are there. Today I was driving on the freeway (my car is quiet so it wouldn't cause tinnitus, it's 70 dB inside the cabin), and I went down a small 15 meter decline at 110 km/h, and my ears plugged up right away, wasn't painful...

I know my case is unusual and probably caused by at least mostly an external force. When I'm in a quiet room though my tinnitus fluctuates wildly in matters of minutes. Yesterday during a midterm I noticed I couldn't hear it whatsoever (convenient timing, I know). I put in some 32 dB earplugs...

I'm sure a lot of people around my age here are into anime and cartoons. It's talked about all over the internet, but what kinds of stuff do you guys like?

Every year me and my parents fly back to China to visit my grandparents. This year I can't because of my Eustachian problems and I don't want to cause permanent barotrauma. I know I will get to visit them again hopefully but it sucks that I can't go this time. I'm staying home to take care of...

I'm sorry to post another problem but this one is bad. Twenty minutes ago I was swinging and suddenly I felt something going up and down in my right ear (my bad one). My hearing is worse in that ear but not much more impaired. I'd say 80% hearing compared to my left. It tickles behind my...

I am going to see an ENT in a few days and I think I may have an ear infection. What drops aren't ototoxic so I can ask just in case?

Some people here like me and others hate me. What is the overall opinion?

The medical community has been working very hard to find a cure for tinnitus. They have been focusing like a laser on finding a working treatment for this ailment. Overall tinnitus research has received very generous funding from every grant, and tinnitus is recognized as the massive problem it...

Recently, a few days ago, I started getting a random blaring tone in my left ear when I'm home for no reason. I think it's exacerbated by my light bulbs. When I wear earplugs it completely goes away, and it's bad to the point where it's so much quieter with earplugs. Could it go away or get...

I cannot be quenched.

So I was browsing the site and found a poll that showed that a vast majority of the community has forward head posture. The fact that so many have it and tinnitus is probably not a coincidence. If you have somatic tinnitus try standing up against a wall with your head, ass, and heels against it...

I had my ear syringed recently. It got rid of all the wax and luckily it was soft. But ever since (happened a day ago) I have had louder tinnitus. Will it go back down? I don't want a permanent spike from this...

So this morning I went to a general doctor (I can get it for free so whatever) to see if I had an Eustachian tube issue. They did a double check on my ears, and in my bad ear, the left one, there was a ton of wax. Again. 4 months ago I got my ears cleaned out for this very problem so I guess I...

So it began one night three days ago when I was sick and my tinnitus was praticularly worse than normal, and I couldn't sleep. So I was watching stuff on my phone and was paying attention to that. Suddenly I have a massive pop in my left ear, and it feels much more "open", but my right ear...

Last night I couldn't sleep and was watching some stuff on my phone. During that time my left ear has a weird loud a pop, and the entire left side of my face felt "relieved" for some reason. My right side did not feel painful or bad but my left side felt really good. It could hear a little...

Did ACRN (Acoustic Coordinated Reset Neuromodulation) help your tinnitus? If so, how, and for how long was it helpful if not permanently. If it "helped you live with it", then it didn't help you and please don't comment it; just say no. Oh and if you haven't done it don't vote.

Hey it's me threefirefour. I had an intro post a while ago and it ended up badly because some members derailed it. I'm thinking of starting over my time on TT and trying again with a new intro. I'm not new here but for once, I want to start over.

If you're confused as to what this is, here's an explanation: I like the site, and what it stands for, but I don't always care for wha'ts posted and who's posting. They also don't care for my posting either. So I've decided that it makes sense to do them and me a favor and make my own thread...

What kind of tinnitus would you rather have? Let's say the first option is your tinnitus at current volume, but in only one ear. The second one is in both ears but at half the volume your tinnitus is right now. In both it's the same sound.

TRT is just a glorified scam that sells a natural process. What pisses me off about it is not that people waste their money, a fool is easily parted with their money. It's that our government (US) chooses to fund TRT for vets instead of actually funding research for a cure. It's been around for...

Tinnitus: it's extremely common, somewhat debilitating, we know what is causing it, and we understand the issue behind it. Seems like the stars are aligned; and a cure/treatment is around the corner, but there's two problems. The community and the lack of awareness. If we can fix these two...

One of the things people say around here and in other tinnitus communities is that it's not the tinnitus that makes people sad, but their reactions. I feel like this is completely wrong and deflecting the actual problem. Just because we can't fix the problem doesn't mean it's not the problem...

Hello, I am a new member. I've had tinnitus for a while but just started posting here. Nice to meet you.

My tinnitus varies multiple times a day. When I wake up it's at its loudest for an hour or so, then at 2:00pm it's at its quietest, and other than that it's normal with the occasional dip in volume? Could it eventually go down to the lower volume?
