My tinnitus started almost ten years ago due to noise trauma. Just ten minutes of loud live music triggered it, after years of abusing headphones and playing music at maximum volume most of the time. Since the first day, my tinnitus has been very unstable. I can go months without being bothered...

I have had noise-induced tinnitus for almost 10 years now, with many spikes over the years—some lasting for weeks at a time. My tinnitus is severe and can be heard anywhere, although my mind has somehow learned to ignore it for long periods. The last four months have been really smooth, and I've...

Something that has always haunted me since I developed tinnitus has been the idea of having to go through the passing of my beloved ones, having this noise in my head. I've just lost a really beloved uncle and the depressing feeling of loss plus a more acute sense of how fragile and futile our...

Dear buzzing comrades, I would like to start by emphasizing my utmost encouragement to you all who have not done it yet, to immediately take on a sport. I'm 100% convinced that it helps making this condition easier to deal with. My sport of choice is boxing, the silliest in the menu for a...

So, for five days now I've been dealing with a rather heavy cold. General weakness, running nose, cough, dizziness, lots of sweating when sleeping and yes, of course, tinnitus is OFF THE HOOK. Thing is I don't feel my ears clogged at all and my crystal clear hearing (despite having minor...

Hi there, tinnitus folks. For the last seven months I've been extra picky choosing my green tea. I've always drank plenty of it not being very exigent about its quality. Drank gunpowder mainly. Then I jumped to the astonishing world of high quality Japanese ones. Gyokuro, Kabusecha, Sencha... I...

Last Wednesday I participated in a pacific protest. 200 people. Not any noisy device like sirens, whistles, drums, etc... Everyone was shouting. Outdoors. I didn't find it loud enough to be worried as I was somewhat careful not to be placed in the "eye of the shouts hurricane". My tinnitus...

After almost 5 years in, I can firmly say I am not habituated at all. My tinnitus is severe. Dental drill sound. Just the shower can mask it and it barely does it. On a good day I can forget about it for hours but it always bothers me A LOT at some point. I don't see myself alive next Christmas...

Hello Dr. Nagler. First of all show you all my gratitude for your guidance and advice in here. My doctor prescribed me with Escitalopram (half a 15mg tablet a day during the first week before jumping to the whole tablet) and Lorazepam 1mg in the morning and before going to bed. I know...

I am a big boxing fan myself and anyone familiar with Tyson Fury would know what the guy has been through. Besides being a media showman, a terrific athlete and an excentric character, the guy is a beautiful soul. Watch this video:

I've never asked myself about this but... I abuse hot sauce. And I mean HOT. High concentrations of capsaicin. Habanero, scotch bonnet, trinidad scorpion... Could this addiction be hurting my hearing? Please, don't tell me to quit!

A group of friends affected by tinnitus in different forms and from different causes have decided to give a go to this supplement. We've chosen this brand by recommendation of someone who has seen certain level of improvement after taking it. We will track each other's experiences. We are...

Here I am again. After one and a half month of being able to completely ignore my tinnitus (and it is a really severe one) it has spiked again. It seems to do it randomly from time to time, then go back to its baseline. Spikes tend to last a week, two or even a month. They leave me guessing...

My tinnitus has been really loud for two weeks now. Spike, permanent worsening... I don't know. I have spent this two weeks really worried about it. I use an app (Resound Gn) to mask it at night for 30 minutes before falling asleep. It perfectly masks my tinnitus at a relatively low volume with...

Very interesting article about a finding made by Andalusian doctors after removing brain tumour of a patient. It is worth the translation. https://www.20minutos.es/noticia/3606055/0/curan-epilepsia-trasladando-area-lenguaje-hemisferio-cerebral/

Hi guys and gals! El BUZZ from south Spain in here. Tinnitus since 3.5 years now. All life listening to loud music. Walkman, minidisc, discman, mp3 and then mobile phones have been my companion full blasting everything from experimental jazz to electro minimal. Then one night, 10 minutes at a...
