It's often said that those in the industry don't do enough to spread the word about Tinnitus/Hearing Loss. Nice to see one of my favorite bands doing something to educate; "Bassist Jeff Ament said: "Don't be careless and lazy at loud rock shows or cranking tunes through an old Walkman like I...

This was a reasonably high profile case in Wales recently. James Ivor Jones had a severe case of Tinnitus/Hypercausis and took his own life. His son has set up a page to raise funds to go toward Tinnitus research in the UK. Very sad case, if anyone is feeling generous, here's the link to the...

Just wanted to post a quick experience. I hit a show last night. Modest Mouse @ the Helix in Dublin. A 1,600 capacity venue. Stood at the back where decibel level averaged 89 -92 for the bulk of the show. I had a friend measure closer to the stage, where it was in the region of 98 or so. I...

Hi All, I know there's been a few threads on concerts but I have a slightly different angle. I've decided I'm definitely going to hit a few shows over the coming months. I was however trying to find out what a typical dB level would be at an average show. The only thing I can find online...

Hello Dr. Nagler, Yet another question! I've been prescribed 9 X 50mg Voltarol tablets to calm a tooth nerve. My dentist is very understading and familiar with my situation and thinks this drug is the best option. However, these days when I am prescribed medication, I comb through the...

Hi Dr. Nagler, Just a quick one this time. I see a lot of talk on forums suggesting a lower frequency tinnitus is easier to deal with over all. In your opinion, is the frequency of an individuals tinnitus itrelevant in terms of achieving habituation? Best Regards Greg

Hi Dr. Nagler, I'll try keep this short. I've had tinnitus 8 years, I was always in bands etc. Since I noticed it first I've always done my best to protect my ears and would have considered the symptoms to be very mild, I can honestly say it never changed in pitch and tone over 8 years...

Hi Dr. Nagler, First of all, thanks for providing your time to offer advice and answer peoples questions. This is an invaluable resource. I'm trying to understand more about ototoxicity, but reliable data on the web is hard to come by. In your opinion, how likely is something like a...

Just a quick one guys, this came up at a discussion last night. What kind of doses of say Ibuprofen would you need to be taking to see an Ototoxic effect like tinnitus manifest? I'm more of the opinion that you'd need to be taking high doses regularly (i.e.>400mg), is this the consensus?

Hi All, Stumbled across the forum today as I was scouring the web looking for some advice. I've had tinnitus since I was 26 (Am 34 now). Probably caused by going to concerts for years without using any ear protection. I would've described my case as mild, since I first noticed it I've done...
