Good Read: http://www.theplayerstribune.com/bryce-salvador-devils-retirement/ According to the all-star he got 5 shots in his ear and the ringing went away. What kind of shots into his ear did he get?

As it's getting hot and my unit unfortunately does not have central air I was wondering if anyone has advice for sleeping with sound sensitive tinnitus? My T unfortunately increases in volume to fans, air conditions, white noise, etc. It's a challenging one to say the least. For any other...

It has a significant impact on many of us. That said, do you consider your Tinnitus a sort of disability?

Tinnitus is damage to your hair cells in the inner or outer ear. In my opinion, and with the amount who suffer permanent T (in the millions) it is truly mind blowing that doctors and scientists cannot resolve a treatment to rejuvenate the inner ear nerve hair cells. Years and years without any...

Thought i would share how to find out if you have permanent tinnitus or not. The first test is the typical pure tone audiogram up to 8000 htz that almost every ENT will perform. If that has substantial hearing loss greater than 20 DB at one of the frequencies then that is likely to be a red...

I don't believe one bit that going to a restaurant, bar, club or lounge has any long term impact in the formation of T. The decibel reading at the loudest of these establishments is usually mid 80's. The same might not be said for concerts. Or Head injuries that impact the cochlea. Or...

Curious if anyone has normal hearing tests from 250htz all the way to 8000 and still stuck with TInnitus? Normal hearing is defined as no more than 20 DB hearing loss under normal threshold levels.

Dear Dr. Nagler- Thanks for your help on this one. Question on head trauma induced T. Recent hearing test with 0-10 DB measured hearing loss between 0-8000 htz. slight difference in hearing loss in right ear measured at -10 at 8000. mid 30's male. i hit right side of my head during a bad...

I'm 8 months through Hell suffering T from a very bad head injury and finally seeing some light ahead of the tunnel. My T the past 1 month has greatly decreased to some extent where i'm mostly attentive to it on the bathroom or just about when i go to bed. The first 3 months my T was so loud i...

how many of us were overwhelmed or had a major traumatic event occur that set off T? For those with normal audiograms I'm beginning to believe that T triggers under high stress scenarios. How we retreat from this state? some say cranial sacral therapy, massage, and just a total body shutdown...

Chronic Tinnitus that lasts more than 5 minutes a week. Of that sub-group 1-2% or 1-2M Americans suffer from persistent chronic tinnitus that is 24/7, and of that group only 100,000-200,000 find the Tinnitus bothersome.

Curious if anyone else is struggling with there T spiking to normal noise, including masking sounds? My T is quietest if i'm in a room of total silence. Meaning no sound at all. Any sort of sound will for the most part spike my T. I have great difficulty sleeping with Fan or air conditioner...

Dear Dr. Nagler- From your experience of dealing with hundreds of Tinnitus patients, some by noise and some by other causes such as head injury i'm wondering from your expert opinion how a head injury causes Tinnitus? Whether it be head injury, chin injury, minor or mild concussion i'm curious...

Tinnitus sufferers could have normal pure tone audiograms but how many T sufferers have absent DPOAE's ? It seems vast majority of chronic T sufferers have absent DPOAES in the 6-8KZ frequencies. DPOAE might be a good test to consider.

Very odd and unusual experience this weekend. The T in my right ear traveled over the top of my brain and into my left ear and then ringed very loudly in the left ear while the right ear was in complete silence. Unfortunately the peace only lasted for a few minutes however i thought it was a...

Last night for the first time i noticed that i was able to feel the T inside my right ear. It was like an ocean wave floating inside of my ear and i could feel the waves going through. My T unfortunately has been getting worse and worse and is now, more than ever aggravated by external noise...

I'm male and early mid 30's. Tests up to 8k seemed like normal hearing. Slight hearing loss of -10 to -15 at some frequencies however after 30 years on this planet who doesn't? Where i'm confused is if T is really brought on my hearing loss in even higher frequencies than 8K then why in the...

Wondering if anyone on this board had sleep issues/insomnia prior to there onset of Tinnitus? I'm seeing if there might be a link between the two. As in lack of sleep igniting Tinnitus. Thanks.

If T is from so called damaged inner ear hair cells then why does the entire population over 45 not have T? Every year a certain number of hair cells diminish as the human gets older and older. If T is truly from damaged hair cells in the high frequency range then my assumption is everyone in...

Hi Dr. Nagler- Curious if you know of any cases where one can damage the auditory nerve yet not show hearing loss up to standard measurements? If the auditory nerve was damaged from head injury then would hearing loss not be a result? I suffered a head injury in mid march, although there was...

Anyone tried Diamox to alleviate tinnitus?

I'm at the 4 month and 2 week mark and i've noticed a fair change in my level of T. The first 2-3 months are the absolute worse and then the 4 month mark things tend to improve. I have noticed that eating tons of berries (raspberries, blackberries, and strawberries) coupled with Cod Liver Oil...

First month was constant ringing (beeeeep). Second month was a constant loud rthymic squeal that amplifies with sound Finally mid way of 3rd month I now have a hiss all during the day and at night when i lay down to rest i hear fizzing/hissing with occasional squeals. Still amplifies with...

So I made a visit to my 3rd ENT here in NYC since my fall in Mid March and this ENT believes that the jaw injury from my face hitting the concrete might have altered one of the discs/ligaments in my right ear. I suffer from reactive unilateral tinnitus in my right ear which the doctors at first...

My tinnitus exacerbates/amplifies with external sound. The tinnitus greatly increases due to external sound. Is this a form of hypercusis or simply just "reactive" tinnitus? Any one else share this condition?

I'm looking at this board and i'm curious as to the time lenghts/duration of Tinnitus. It seems to be we classify tinnitus into: 1. Noise Induced 2. Ototoxic Induced 3. Head Injury Induced 4. Age-Hearing Loss Induced (which might apply to all of the above). 5. Ear Infection What i'm wondering...

Dear Dr. nagler, I am 34 years old and suffered a fall on my right side. Since that i have had a rhythmic/rice crispie squealing like flutter in my right ear. I am unable to mask the sound because it is so called reactive, thus gets louder if merged with most outside sounds. I went to the ENT...

On optimistic note ringing in the ears ended for screenwriter tom sadyak after 6 months, Oakland Athletics catcher John Jason after 5 months and NY Rangers all-star mark Staal after 11 months. http://observer.com/2014/04/tom-shadyac-had-it-all-and-gave-it-away/...

I suffered a severe concussion 10 weeks ago during a fall. Initially I had constant ringing in my right ear (unilateral tinnitus) which is now more of rhythmic pulsatile tinnitus. It is also reactive and can increase with certain sounds. I guess it's one of the symptoms of post concussion...

I'm unable to go into loud environments (bars, lounges, restaurants) at the moment as my right ear (unilateral) tinnitus greatly increases if in noisy environments. I'm wondering if any others on this board suffer from the same problems? My right ear tinnitus (now 7-8 weeks) stems from head...

I am on the 6 week mark of Tinnitus in my right ear. It's torture. Unfortunately the result of a fall that also impacted the right side of my head. Not sure it will ever go away yet i certainly hope so. On that note I'm wondering if anyone has Tinnitus in just one ear? Or both?

I had a significant fall 5 weeks ago and landed on my right side. My head also hit the concrete with a thump. Fortunately there were no fractures and i was not (to my knowledge) knocked unconscious however I have had uni-lateral tinnitus in my right ear since. I'm curious if anyone else on...

For any and all who have been struggling with Tinnitus I'm wondering if any of you might have had an audiology test, and if so did it include Otoacoustic Emissions Test? This test is VERY important as it measures the condition of your inner and outer hair cells. The condition of your outer...
