    Poll: Does Your Tinnitus Spike During Thunderstorms?

    Anyone find that a thunderstorm increases their tinnitus? We had one last night for about an hour and my left ear was whining like mad as if it was in competition to see who could get louder. The tinnitus calmed down after the thunderstorm passed but this got me thinking was it caused by the...

    Brain Zaps When Lying Down

    Sometimes when I lie down in bed it feels as if every little noise gives me a ‘brain zap’ (as I call it). For instance, the other night I was in bed going to sleep and my daughter (who sleeps in the room next to me) turned her light switch off, it wasn’t terribly loud but I felt what I call a...

    Are Earphones/Headphones the Devil for a Tinnitus Sufferer?

    Hi Dr. Nagler, I hope this post finds you well. Being fairly new to tinnitus (onset in August 2019), I wanted to ask if earphones/headphones exacerbate or are detrimental to tinnitus. The reason I ask is because I've worked in a contact centre for a bank for nearly 18 years with no problems...

    Broken Wisdom Tooth — Could My Tinnitus Be Caused by Inflammation from the Tooth?

    Hi, Just a thought... I have a broken wisdom tooth on the same side as my tinnitus ear and it’s always very sensitive. I also had an abscess in it although that was last year (not been to the dentist but please don’t shoot me). Now I was told by ENT consultant that they think my tinnitus is...
