Hello people, how are you! ;) If anyone happens to remember me, I am glad to say I am doing very well and tinnitus is now a bad dream from the past. However, I will probably always remain cautious... I've been prescribed amoxicilline + metronidazole to tackle helicobacter pylori. Now I know...

Hello! I go by nickname Fish, I'm from Poland and this, finally is the time to write my own "success story". I promised to do so a long, long time ago but I really couldn't bring myself to it... I don't really like going through those memories. I do however owe a lot to the kind people here so...

I go by bus to attend the morning classes at my uni. It is early, so the bus is really crowded. And there he is, a guy in his twenties, wearing huge earbuds and looking outside the window. The music he is listening to is so loud I can clearly hear repeated hi-hats going 'tss tss tss'. Probably...

Hello... The matter I would like to write about is not related to tinnitus so I chose general chat for this. I must admit that I show early first signs of balding... :) tinnitus-related stress has taken it's toll I guess haha. I don't treat it as a big deal but during a check-up with my GP I...

Vertigoheel on Amazon.com I would like to ask - has anyone of you ever tried a drug called "Vertigoheel"? It is available in liquid and a pill form. One person in polish health forums claims that it gave her a full albeit temporary relief from tinnitus symptoms. It is to be taken 8 pills in...

A success story. I wish it could be mine but not just yet unfortunately. Maybe one day :) I'd like to tell you about my doctor who had done numerous audiograms for me. A lovely lady by the way! Since it was my last audiogram, we had a longer than usual, hearty conversation. Turns out she was...

Hello again everyone, some of you who know me might remember I have been doing quite well both due to treatments and habituation process. My well-being lasted until today. Few days ago I have developed a nasty case of flu. I have spent the whole weekend in bed, having fever, coughing and even...

For certain reasons I have had doubts whether I should write about this or not, but I decided I will. I need this off my heart and I also want to tell you that there is hope, there are treatments that actually do work. After my T has started in July, for reasons unknown, I have turned the...

Some weeks ago I have joined an experimental treatment I should not write about just yet (I will when the time comes, I promise). My point is, as a part of this treatment I undergo an extensive evaluation of T including my perception of it, it's factual loudness and hearing tests. In the...

I thought I would share... Some days ago I got to know a person (kind lady in her 40s) who got rid of tinnitus. She suffers from the same condition as me (lordosis). She had T for few months until the doctors found a spine problem. She tried several therapies and massages were most effective...

I stayed in hospital for 3 days in hopes of finding the cause of my tinnitus. Among the tests I had were: - blood tests - hearing test - tympanometry - tinnitus loudness/tone matching - videonystagmography - spine RTG The last one revealed that I have lordosis. One doctor I talked with said...

I know this is ridiculous but surprisingly I think it worked for me, a bit. At the same time it's easy and can be done at home so it won't hurt to try, right? Step 1 Rest the palms of your hands alongside your head, covering your ears with the section of the palms nearest your wrist. Your...

I wanted to ask your opinion - what matters for you when masking the sound of your T, is the sound type more important or is it volume? I am back home after very long, extensive tests and one of them was measuring a level of my subjective T. Problem is, they tried to mask my T with some kind...

After a horrible week that got me really anxious and depressed, my tinnitus completely disappeared just an hour ago. I double-checked this in a silent room and it really is gone. I didn't do anything special, took my meds as usual, I have no idea what to think about this, there must be something...

If you like reading about medical science and research, let me recommend you this interesting lecture about stem cell research written by dr Christopher Centeno: The Stem Cells they Don’t Want You to Have: How the New Stem Cell Debate Will Shape the Future of Medicine The book is free to...

I decided to post this to cheer you up, but also for myself to read it whenever I'll feel down in the future. As I'm writing this, my tinnitus is (temporarily) gone. The high pitched noise turned into a low-volume hiss that is only audible when I clog my ears. I'm sure it's too early to...

Hello, As you know my tinnitus is fairly new (started one week ago) but what really makes me wonder right now is it's strong fluctuation. It seems to be louder at times, there are moments when it's barely there (yesterday evening was great and this morning was awful). Is it normal for...

I found this chart interesting. It shows the types of tinnitus, medical exams done to diagnose and possible causes to be treated: Check out the interactive flowchart: http://www.tinnitusresearch.org/index.php/for-clinicians/diagnostic-flowchart

I don't know if somebody posted this before but this really seems promising: http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/22682958 Department of Otolaryngology and Laryngological Oncology, Medical University of Lodz, Lodz 90-549, 113 Zeromskiego Street, Poland. Now the great thing about it - this...

Hello, I'm 22 and I live in Poland. I had mild symptoms of tinnitus as early as somewhere in 2007-2008 but back then the noise was really quiet, and since I had no idea about a condition known as "tinnitus" I thought it's natural, it's sound of blood flowing in my head or something. It...
