    Bifemelane/Celeport for Sensorineural Tinnitus

    Stumbled across this study. Interesting they specifically mention sensorineural tinnitus. It appears to be an MAO-I.

    Tapped My Ears While Applying Face Lotion → Tinnitus Worse → Prednisone?

    I’ve been in the middle of a tinnitus spike for the past 10 days or so... This morning I felt like it was finally going away. When I was applying some face lotion, I put too much on my hands, and so I tapped it all over the place before I spread it in. I ended up tapping both my ears. Now my...

    It appears I'll be receiving an incredible job offer with otherworldly compensation at an incredible company. Think top 100 with a long track record of success in the tech. Problem IS... travel. Given the unpredictability of this condition I'm not sure I can accept it, given it's a sales job...

    Bathroom Remodel Tinnitus in Mind

    Planning to remodel bathroom. Currently shower has plastic pan that is quite loud when water hits it. Thinking going with a tile shower floor might help quiet it down. Has anyone thought about a remodel through their "tinnitus lens?"

    Sudden Wild Longer-Lasting Fleeting Tinnitus Episode — Would Appreciate Your Thoughts

    My tinnitus has been quite manageable lately. But last night... it reminded me how erratic it can be. I was finishing up some last minute work after dinner and my right ear had a fleeting episode (as it normally does - 2-10x week). Usually it lasts 10-20 seconds. But this time it STAYED. I had...

    Tilting My Head All the Way to Left Makes My Right Ear Flutter

    Hi all, I've been having fullness in right ear for a few weeks. Not consistently, but the majority of time. When I tilt my head all the way to left (stretching the right side), I can get right ear to experience fluttering. Is this TTTS and is it caused by tight muscles like SCM or Trapezius...

    Tow Truck Horn Blast Last Night While Not Wearing Earplugs

    I was caught on the street sans plugs and a tow truck drove by and let out two damn loud blasts. I immediately went home and took 1200mg NAC + Ativan + Magnesium + Melatonin ect. I think I avoided a spike and as I JUST went through this in October, I think I'm going to pass on steroids...

    New Lower-Pitched Tone?

    Greetings everyone, After largely habituating to my high pitched (12 kHz) hissing tone over the past 9 months, earlier this week I had 2 episodes of fleeting tinnitus but this time at a new lower tone. It now almost sounds like that tone, or at least another low tone has moved in to my left...

    Toilet Lid Noise and Corticosteroids?

    Hey all, you’re reading that right. Last night was visiting friends and lifted toilet lid with too much force and boom! Super loud noise - right ear felt full a bit afterwards and now I feel like tinnitus is oscillating more in right ear? Should I seek corticosteroids ASAP?!

    Supposed to Fly and Freaked!

    6 weeks to the day with tinnitus. Am still having intermittent pain in ears and feel the need to constantly pop them - which always helps. I’m supposed to fly for 6 hours on Weds and then 6 hours back on Monday and don’t know if I can do it. Any advice?

    Why Are ENTs So Worthless When It Comes to Tinnitus?!

    With risk of sounding bitter, how can a problem so grand have so few solutions? After spending a few days scrolling this forum I feel I know just as much as an ENT (or the 3 that I’ve seen) about tinnitus.

    Over Ear Headphones and Early Stage Tinnitus

    Hi everyone just a quick question. I am still and will probably always be unsure exactly what has caused my tinnitus but I want to take uber good care of my ears especially in this early stage... Would it make sense to wear over ear noise cancelling headphones when out and about even if I am...

    Tinnitus Basically Disappeared Today

    Hey guys, My tinnitus started last week (2/26). After thinking about it I realized a few days prior I had done some heavy sunflower seed eating (cracking) as well as gum chewing which is rare for me because gum can hurt my jaw - can’t think of why I did it. Once I heard the tinnitus and felt...

    Tinnitus/TMJ

    Hey everyone, My tinnitus is new (about a week old) and in my left ear. Right ear feels clogged. Saw a Dr and they thought it was TMD/TMJ. I had hearing test and it came back normal. I cannot modulate sound by moving jaw but putting ice pack on the TMJ made it reduce drastically. Still not gone...
