Dr. Hubbard, I read the bio section of your profile and have to say that it is very inspirational especially when you mention you were able to overcome disabling tinnitus which caused social withdrawal and get on with living your life to the fullest and establishing a successful career. I...

Just curious whether there are any of you who can sleep on the ear(s) where you have loud tinnitus and still fall asleep normally? Is there anything you do to achieve this or has it just become something you can do without trying? I'm worried if I sleep on my tinnitus ear, my brain will...

Today I woke up in the middle of the night and noticed a non-constant tone in my ear. High-pitched as always. But I'm struggling to call it pulsatile T because it isn't pulsating along with my heart rate. I hear a constant whine for a few seconds and then it lowers in volume for 1 second etc...

My hearing is definitely worse in the higher frequency than in the lower (which are within 10DB). Other than loud noise exposure, what else can cause the hearing in higher frequencies to start to get worse? I'd like to try and prevent it from getting worse if possible.

Ever since I got my tinnitus I have noticed that I can hear the high pitched noises (electricity-type sounds) from electric objects such as certain TVs, certain laptops, certain speakers. These are coming from the devices themselves. I also read some people on this forum seem to hear this as...

What do you guys think about creating a thread to share blood test results (especially hormonal ones such as cortisol, maybe adrenaline, thyroid, I'm not sure what others would be applicable yet). I was hoping that we would be able to make up a list of blood test results and try to get people...

Hi Dr. Nagler, I've noticed when I am stressed about my T, I additionally keep getting fleeting tinnitus (deafness in one ear, paired with an extremely high pitched tone which fades within a few seconds/minutes of its rapid onset). This seems different to my "regular" T-noises. It's not...

Hi Dr. Nagler, From your experience with T-patients, how common is constantly changing tinnitus in terms of ear affected and/or actual underlying sound (tonal to hiss to buzz etc... or perhaps more subtle changes)? Do you think this is something normal that again even non-T people experience if...

Hi, Would you guys be so kind to offer some help regarding which massage types you would recommend for lowering the volume or at least relieving anxiety caused by tinnitus? Deep tissue massage? Ayurvedic? Cranial osteopathy? Something else? These are all expensive in the UK so I'd like to...

Of course the best thing for ear wax (if you have a problem) is to prevent its building up by applying olive oil drops etc... but if it does build up... would you 1) go for syringing - and risk potentially a perforated eardrum (and potentially increasing tinnitus?) 2) micro-suction - quick, but...

Hi Dr. Nagler, Thank you for taking the time to help everyone by sharing your experiences, recommendations and thoughts. Your posts have reassured me many times on days when I was feeling very low. I just wanted to ask, as you advocate TRT for severe obtrusive tinnitus (as in your case), how...

If anyone has any experience with the above hospital or has heard anything, would you be able to recommend an ENT consultant and/or anyone else worth seeing? The waiting times are ridiculous though... 3 months for a random ENT not even specializing in tinnitus...

Hey all, So when my ringing started and now during my relapse, I have noticed that I keep waking up at certain times of the night (usually around 1AM, 3AM, 5AM) and sometimes, especially around the 1Am or 5AM mark, my tinnitus is much louder. But I increase the volume of my laptop and manage to...

I'm new to the forums but have been reading everyone's posts a LOT over the last 3 years since my tinnitus started. First off I wanted to thank you all for being here and some great posts - it really helped me see that I wasn't the only one with this problem and I was often comforted by just...

Hi all, I'm new to the forums so apologies that I am starting off with a question (hopefully I will write an Introduction post soon) but there is something about my tinnitus that is really bothering me lately. I have had a high pitched screeching sound in my right ear only which started 3 years...
