Hi all, I did some searching and found threads on both of these but nothing that compared them. I did note one that someone took them together. I started taking Magnesium and L-Theanine (100 mg) about 2 weeks ago. Tinnitus has been up and down but there was a period of calm. I do have the GABA...

Hi all, I've had tinnitus and hyperacusis for many years. The hyperacusis is from MS, that's been over 15 years. The tinnitus has been about 3-4 years now. What have you tried that has helped quieten it? I can find all sorts of ideas but would love to have responses on one thread if possible...

I feel like an idiot for not even thinking about the type of antibiotic when it was prescribed. I have a swollen uvula (look that one up lol) and they put me on Clarithromycin. I have taken 3 doses and my tinnitus has spiked like crazy. Kept me up all night and I still didn't link it until after...

Hi all, I do hope some of you are getting ready for the holidays and not being bothered by your tinnitus. Mine has been quite noticeable for 2 1/2 years now. I also have hyperacusis which has been linked to my MS. I do pretty well with it now and rarely have issues. The biggest issue is I...

This one is loud and there is nothing that will mask it. Generally at least when I'm in the shower it will mask it but not anymore. It's high pitched, loud, and no amount of external noise helps at all. I feel like I'm losing my mind. The holidays are awful to start with and all kinds of...

Hi all, I'm pretty shocked but I started the magnesium chelate yesterday at 400 mg and my T is there but quieter today. I took it at night as I read through the forums and people mentioned it was a sleep aid. I did sleep for 4-5 hours so that's a start :) When looking at dosing it looks like...

I read through an older thread on magnesium and based on that I went to buy some. The choices were seriously overwhelming, and the clerk at the store wasn't much help. I ended up buying chelated magnesium I read through an older thread on magnesium and based on that I went to buy some. The...

You mentioned these in your response to me earlier today. I do not have any hearing loss, I actually hear too well with the hyperacusis. It appears all the the devices I've been shown so far are also hearing aids. I did a search on the internet but only found hearing aids with sound...

Hi Dr Nagler, I met with Dr Hebert today and we discussed starting me on devices. She was considering the Oticon but settled on the ReSound Linx as a better choice for me. She was and still is slightly hesitant about me getting them now, 2 weeks before I leave for Mexico for 3 months. Her...

Wow - I have to admit to being a little surprised at the price tag of almost $3000.00. I guess with hearing aids the 30 day return is fine but with TRT therapy I've been told it takes many months so once you buy them you pretty much own them. Insurance won't cover any of it from what I've been...

Hi all, I've had hyperacusis for 15 years due to M.S. but the loud T just started about 3 months ago. It's very high pitched and reactive so nothing seems to mask it. This week it has been awful - sounds like cicadas in my ear (right only) and I'm so edgy. I try to ignore it but I'm just...

Hi, I purchased this recently online. It contains the following: Vitamin C - 300 mg (ascorbic acid) Vitamin B1 - 1 mg (thiamin mononitrate) Vitamin B2 - 3 mg (riboflavin) Niacin - 10mg (niacinamide) Vitamin B6 - 1 mg (pyridoxine) Vitamin B12 - 5 mg (cyanocobalamin) Pantothenic Acid - 5 mg (d...

Hi, I recently had an appointment with a specialist who recommended that I get Bose in ear headphones and use the Oticon Pink Noise app (after testing she decided that was a good one for me). She said that my Hyperacusis is still quite an issue (although it rarely bothers me after 15 years)...

Hi, I was able to see an excellent Dr today at LSU - very lucky to get in because of a cancellation. I can tell she will be good to work with. We went through various TRT and masking options as well as doing audiology tests. Here are my "numbers" - not entirely sure what they mean but I do...

Hi Dr Nagler, I had a sudden opportunity to meet with Dr Laurie Hebert of LSU tomorrow. I thought I would not meet with her until June but she had a cancellation. She was recommended to me by the head of the tinnitus support group in New Orleans as she has been working with some of the...

My T is high pitched and loud in my right ear. I have white noise in my bedroom (lots of it, sounds like a jet engine in there ;-) and that doesn't mask it. I sat right in front of my white noise machine the other day and could still hear my T. The only time I don't hear it is when I am in...

I started HCTZ earlier this year for a few days and after BP drop went off it. Pretty close to the same time that my tinnitus started screaming back in February I started on a daily dose of .25mg (low dose). It has done wonders for my hard to regulate BP along with my current BP med...

Hi, I've had tinnitus for 15 years now, in conjunction with hyperacusis caused by my M.S. It was never an issue until recently, they hyperacusis was a much more difficult issue for a long time. In the last few weeks my tinnitus has become constant, loud (where I can't even mask it and it...

I was diagnosed with MS 15 years ago. At that time I also had what they assumed was a relapse that caused hyperacusis. Orignally bilateral it is now right ear only and I manage it, rarely needing earplugs. Certain noises will always be an issue for me. Along with that I've had tinnitus off/on...

Hi Dr Nagler, Thank you for taking time to help with the forum questions. I was diagnosed with MS 15 years ago. At that time I also had what they assumed was a relapse that caused hyperacusis. Orignally bilateral it is now right ear only and I manage it, rarely needing earplugs. Certain...

Hi, I checked the ATA website and called two somewhat local audiologists but neither really work with tinnitus unless it's to deal with hearing loss and hearing aids. They are both on the ATA site. Am I missing something? I feel like I don't even know where to turn to try to get help. Does...

Hi everyone, I'm glad I found this forum. I keep trying to tell others around me what's going on and they just don't get it. I was dx'd with hyperacusis in 2000. I have multiple sclerosis and they think that was what caused the hyperacusis in my right ear. I still have it, but it's become...
