Dr Nagler, I’ve read the book and papers by Jastebroff and Hazlett, the below is my understanding of TRT, please let me know what I have right/ what I have wrong, etc. The crux as I understand it is that through counseling aimed at informing a sufferer that the tinnitus signal isn’t harmful...

Hey Everyone, I just wanted to let everyone know that starting this Wednesday I'm going to be "offline" for about 3 weeks. I have a cousin who is termanally ill, but is currently in pretty good shape physically and he wants to go hiking on the Appalachian Trail (a mountain trail here in the...

Have any of you ever had a warm feeling inside the ear canal- and if so did it improve, etc. A bit of background, my tinnitus was at its lowest point ever for about 2 weeks, then I've had an unexplained spike since Monday, I started to take gingko, magnesium and zinc 2 days ago-- the warm...

Hi Dr Nagler, I know this is sort of a strange last question to ask, but here goes: you often use the term "severe intrusive tinnitus", and I was just wondering if you could define that term. I feel like my actual noise puts me in a class below yourself and some other sufferers on the board who...

Hi Dr Nagler, Starting yesterday afternoon I have been getting a buzzing sensation in my head above my left (previously silent) ear--- is this sort of phenomenon "tinnitus", and is it something you have heard of happening to other patients. Its completely different in nature than the ringing I...

I've had a buzz... It sounds like a buzz saw cutting a piece of metal, since yesterday... But the weird thing is it feels like its coming from my head about two inches above my ear, its part feeling part sound, it's definitely not coming from the ear in the same way the sound in my other ear...

I have read several different posts of people who have improved from tinnitus and they claim that their sound went from tonal to more of a soft hiss... has this been anyone else's experience?

I was going to try to listen to my tinnitus frequency for 8-9 hours a day on low volume when I'm at work because I get residual inhibition when I listen to it and I wanted to test out if listening for longer periods helps my tinnitus in general at all... has anyone else ever done this, and does...

Does anyone know of a tinnitus app that allows you to match your tinnitus tone and perhaps utilize the tone in some format, songs, etc that you can then listen to!

Dr Nagler, I realized that as bad as my tinnitus experience has been, I'm sure I would have had a harder time, and even more negative thoughts to challenge if not for masking. My tinnitus is variable, sometimes I can barely hear it, but then yesterday afternoon I could hear it while driving 70...

Hi Dr Nagler, I went to an ENT this morning for the second time since my onset. I've had tinnitus for 2 months now, if anything the noise might be worse than it originally was, but my reaction to it is better. Anyway, he said something that I don't know is really true or not. He said that even...

Hi Dr Nagler, Your previous post where you mentioned individuals getting tinnitus during high stress times: studying for the bar, etc. raised a question in my mind about my own onset. I had an infection, was on azithromycin and had just had my ears waxed, and later that night while in the...

I finally told my mom about my struggle with tinnitus a few days ago, and she told me that she has had it for a number of years—she said she can always hear it if she looks for it—even over a TV—so its not like she has a really mild case. (like the stick fingers in ears, hear sound, freak out...

Just wanted to get some responses to help us all measure our loudness in comparison with others: Can you hear your tinnitus while sitting in a silent room? Can you hear your tinnitus in an average office environment-- if you work in an office? Can you hear your tinnitus while walking outside...

Does anyone believe that the order in which a patient gets a treatment of a trial medication at a particular site influences whether they get active drug or placebo: say there are 2 patients taking part in the AM 101 trial at a certain site: do you think the site is instructed to use certain...

Hi I have had tinnitus for a little over 3 weeks now, 1 week in I took prednisone and the tinnitus completely ceased for about 5 days. It is back now. I just had an audiology appointment and I was wondering if anyone could tell me what the following phrase means: "Normal tympanometry...
