Randomly logged into TT for the first time in months and saw these posts. Definitely recommend dropping the vape!! Propylene glycol is ototoxic!! (Don't trust the 'All VG' blends. Their flavors are typically mixed with PG) Where I'm at now, I suspect that the vape damaged the tissue and cilia...

Hang in there Glynis! We're all rooting for you. Wishing you a quick recovery!

If you used MDMA two times in one week every once in a while I doubt there would be any major complications. If you were to use MDMA two times a week for an extended period of time, it wouldn't take long at all before significant side effects and complications would start to arise. The euphoric...

Hey Ian, so sorry for the delay getting back to you, been a very busy couple of weeks on my end scrambling to find a new place, get a job, and get ready for my first semester at an actual university in the fall. What are you getting an MRI on? Your brain? Or maybe jaw? I got an MRI of my jaw a...

Hey @Cityjohn , absolutely thrilled to see the research and thought you are putting into LLLT. I hope this question isn't out of place, I've just seen different answers to this question on TinnitusTalk and I'm curious what your take on it is.... How long is the "window of opportunity" for...

@Ian81 To answer your question, I've never quite pinpointed my T frequency. If I had to guess, I'd put it right around 12-14khz. Over the first couple of weeks it dropped in volume quite a bit (once I quit vaping) but it's still there. The only thing that is absolutely certain to increase my T...

Hey Ian, NO worries whatsoever about not noticing my post above. It was over a year ago and please trust me when I say that I TOTALLY understand any kind of anxiety or stress you're currently dealing with as a result of this tinnitus. I am SO sorry you're dealing with this horrid affliction from...

@Flyka70 @josesativa Feel free to message me about any of this. My tinnitus was also caused by vaping and I've been dealing with it for over a year now. Maybe I'm crazy, but I think there may be some value to comparing notes/things that work or don't for our unique tinnitus. @Ian81 feel free to...

Sorry to hear man.....Still dealing with tinnitus and Hyperacusis from vaping to this day. Feel free to message me if you'd like man....I know how much this condition sucks, and I understand how incredibly frustrating it is to get it from vaping of all things....Stay strong buddy. You're not...

Hi all, just a quick question for you guys. I recently visited a Pulmonologist who diagnosed me with exercise induced asthma. Not at all surprising as I had asthma as a kid and I nearly watched my Dad die of an asthma attack skiing in Colorado a few years ago (exercise induced as well) Long...

Needed that. Thank you!

I thought that was what happened, but the doctor didn't seem to think so. They gave me a syringe like contraption to flush my wounds out with that I wasn't good about using. It may have been a minor infection, but God almighty it was awful. Regardless of what I did I would wake up every two...

Hey @Marie79 , I can't say this with total certainty, but I don't think there is anything to worry about in regards to taking a prescribed course of Vicodin. For what it's worth, when my T was still extremely mild, I got two impacted wisdom teeth removed. In addition, my recovery was extremely...

What awesome news!! Congrats @Jamie m , that's so exciting! Very happy for you! In addition to that, I think this post is important simply because it shows new T sufferers that T does not have to be the end of enjoying life. Your photos are excellent, glad you had a great trip and congrats again!

Hey bud, totally understand your concern here, but I highly suspect that you'll be totally fine. Now that the pollen is out at its worst, I wake up with full and stuffed ears almost every morning. The two things I've found that help the best are inhaling steamy water through the nose and going...

I'm sorry to hear about your rides @LeQuack , I deal with the exact same thing when I go for my daily runs. Without my run, I'm absolutely miserable and anxious, but sometimes it's just brutal when a mototcycle drives by. It's funny that this thread got resurrected. I stumbled on it literally...

@Jamie m and @zombiechick thank you both for the responses. I'm in a similar boat as you zombie, when the weather fluctuates rapidly, my ear pain in particular is at its absolute worst. It's just very strange that this all seems to have happened overnight. One day I'm close to habituation to my...

Thanks @Aaron123 , I did go through a lot of those threads previously, most of them speak of T increases, but not necessarily H increases. My primary issue over the past 4 weeks or so has been a sudden reappearance of moderate/severe H along with serious congestion, ear pain, sporadically...

Is there really no one at all here who has any insight what so ever into this? I don't understand, this is the third question in a row that has gone completely unanswered on this forum. Do I not sound desperate and distraught enough? Someone makes their 15th post about how they won't try...

Hey @bill 112 , been seeing your posts on here lately and I'm sorry to see you're having such a hard time lately. My H has increased quite a bit over the last month for unknown reasons after being virtually gone for 6 months....it sucks to say the least. Right before finals too....sigh. Anyway...

Hey guys, just a quick question. My T and H have been increased lately for no apparent reason. I am experiencing allergy issues for the first time in my life this year though, today on my run I could barely breathe after only a mile (I run 25-30 miles a week.) My nose has been completely...

@Karen I hope you don't mind me asking, but what dietary changes did you make that you feel had an impact on your T? I am currently debating trying to go gluten free for a month to see what that does, but my T is totally unaffected by food 99% of the time. (Or at least I don't have any "spikes"...

Hey @Jamie m , I'm really sorry to see that you're having a hard time right now. In all honesty, I could've written the above post.....I know how tough it is to deal with T, let alone the emotions that go along with it. I've had T for well over a year now, probably closer to two years. I...

Hey again Marie, to answer your question, this type of Tinnitus could be caused by stress/anxiety and the subsequent tension/inflammation that it causes, but it is typically a multi-faceted issue. What I mean by that is that while inflammation may be causing your T, that inflammation is likely...

@Marie79 And just to add to what I've already said, a specific symptom of "Somatosensory Pulsatile Tinnitus" is having a high-pitched, cardiac synchronous tone, NOT the "wooshing" sound that is typical of regular Pulsatile tinnitus..... Just a thought... -Steve

@Marie79 Please hang in there. In my personal unprofessional opinion the fact that your T is cardiac synchronous but does NOT sound like a "wooshing" noise may signify that you have inflammation based tinnitus. I could go into detail here, but I don't think that's what you need right now. You'll...

Does anyone else experience an increase in Hyperacusis due to pollen and allergies? Last summer was my first real summer with T and H, and it royally sucked but I made it through. Once it got to be November or so, my H/Ear Pain went away at least 80%, but the last month my H has been steadily...

No one has any info on this? I realize that Google is a click away, but I'm more looking for personal experiences from people already dealing with ear issues. Anyone?

Hello all, been a little while since I've posted but a full college class load had kept me more than busy.... I have a quick question....Recently I was prescribed a generic form of Robinul (Glycopyrrolate) for my severe palmar, plantar, and axillary hyperhidrosis (continuous, uncontrollable...

*If you don't like sweat, I highly reccomend you skip this thread. Just a heads up!* Hi all, been a while since I've posted but I hope everyone has been well as always. I'm here with what may be a stupid question, but I want to cover all the bases before I move forward using a prescription...

No. Not at all. ATEOS has documented and proven all of his treatments with Markku (who started this forum.) Not only that, but given the amount of advocacy work he does, it would be very strange for him to pointlessly lie about something like that....

For a while I thought that my T my be attributable to neuromuscular inflammation of some kind. I did a lot of research on "Somatosensory Pulsatile Tinnitus" in particular. If you don't mind me asking, what in particular makes you believe your T is caused by muscular interference of the DCN? Any...

Hey guys, just wondering if I could get your opinion again maybe..... My T is really spiking higher than its ever been right now in my full ear. It wasn't too this bad yesterday or earlier today that I remember, but this is almost definitely the loudest my T has ever been, and my T is typically...

This was the third time I had flown since getting T. I had no issues what so ever the first two times, and the only reason I had trouble this time was because of my congestion. If you are congested, take a decongestant and maybe use some nasal spray. As long as your ears are popping correctly...

Wow, not quite sure why my entire message got included in that quote. My mistake....ears and computers are definitely my downfalls....

Hey Jon, good to hear from you. Yes, the flight was definitely to blame. When the middle ear can't equalize pressure due to a Eustachian tube blockage the huge differences in pressure, (inside of the ear is still at 8000ft elevation pressure, while the rest of the cabin in descent is at 2000ft...

Well I went through my first day of Steroids and antibiotics yesterday, and while I can say that I do feel more "action" in my Eustachian tube, I can't say that my ear has drained too much. It seemed that my Doc really wanted my ear to clear last night (since he was telling me to use the...

@LadyDi @just1morething @linearb Thank you all so much for the info and responses! I'm honestly kind of blown away, three of my favorite posters responded to my post, couldn't have asked for a better lineup! I have picked up my prescriptions now, and taken the initial dose of both. I'm...

Hey LadyDi, thanks so much for taking the time to respond to my post. Greatly appreciated! As much as tinnitus sucks, I'm so grateful to have such a useful database of sorts.... I'm back from my appointment. ENT did say that there was blood/fluid behind my ear drum. He prescribed me Augmentin...

Thanks Linearb, really appreciate the response. I'm worried because of course I already had T and I was steps if not inches from habituation.....I know there are members on this forum who have had catastrophic T stem from Barotrauma, and that obviously scares me more than a little. I didn't...

Hey guys, pretty bummed to be posting here again.....I just got back last night from one of the best ski trips of my life. While driving out of the Colorado mountains I was having mild ear pain and a hard time clearing my ears. Then, on the flight home the descent was absolutely brutal. Intense...

Hang in there @Kelsie. I know this is a painfully difficult and exhausting thing to deal with sometimes, but things DO get better. I'm just about one year into my tinnitus and not only has it improved, but my feelings towards it and my view of life have changed too. For the better! I agree...

Please keep us up to date with your progress! Thanks for letting us all know you're doing this. Excited to hear your results! Good luck!!

Very tactfully said Nills, well done! (I do greatly value both of your inputs on the forum, but Nills is correct here. In terms of the benefits of psychedelics, if you know you know, if you don't you don't....)

Hey FF, long time no talk! I'm sorry to hear you're having a tough time with things again, but I assure you'll get through this. While I'm not certain of the chemicals you're using at work, unless you're intentionally huffing the fumes I find it very unlikely that you'll experience Ototoxicity...

Hi @Gio Makyo , sorry to hear you're dealing with T and H in addition to Trigeminal Neuralgia.....I can only imagine. I'm no doctor, but I can try and give some halfway decent answers here. A quick google search does indicate that morphine may have Ototoxic effect in a small percentage of the...

Please keep us updated with your experience bud. Definitely interested in your progress. You've probably said this already but do you have any hearing loss?

The static steam hiss is the only T noise I hear most of the time. Occasionally I'll get a low frequency rumble, but that's more a sensation than a noise (although I do hear the rumble.) My T started in both ears and has slowly moved into primarily my right ear. On bad days, my left will hiss a...

I can't really comment on whether your T will be permanent or not, but I can say with certainty that damaged hair cells does NOT always lead to tinnitus. My father can't hear a thing above 7000 hz and has a loss of at least 30db from 125hz - 7000 hz and he has no tinnitus at all....hearing loss...

Liked and shared. There are people here who support your efforts and hard work @attheedgeofscience , even if it doesn't seem like it at times!

Is this drug currently in clinical trials? I see that this thread was created a year ago and I just wonder if there's been any progress. I personally don't know what to think about intratympanic application of drugs to treat chronic tinnitus, but I assume Auris Medical wouldn't spend a...

Retigabine is a broad spectrum Kv3 potassium channel modulator I believe. It's primary pharmacological application is in the treatment of epilepsy, not tinnitus. However, since epilepsy and tinnitus are both caused by hyperactive neurons, a cure/effective treatment for one may very well lead to...

You are absolutely right friend, time heals all. I'll be honest....Do I still have moments where I sit down, hear my T, and get upset about it? Yes. Absolutely. BUT, that used to be an all day, everyday thing. Now when it happens, I sit down, I have my moment, and then all of the sudden, before...

Wow.....some people are just awful..... I'm so sorry to hear this Rimes. Not a lot that I can say, but that guy clearly sucks. I think that everyone here on the forum feels for you. It truly angers me how incredibly inconsiderate some people can be.... Have you explained to this person that...

Hey Falconfox (cool name by the way) I'm sorry to hear that you're having a hard time with things right now. It takes me back to where I was in April, May, June, and July......Not fun at all. I was seriously considering anti-anxiety meds or anti-depressants at that time, something I would...

I speak from personal experience that THC doesn't spike T in all people. Not only do I smoke regular cannabis with no issues, but I also smoke cannabis extracts that are near pure THC with little to no impact on my T. I will say though that if I smoke Sativa dominant strains (more alert...

Hey Midnight, I think you're right to treat this as a transient spike. I've had T for 10 months now, and about 3 months ago, I came home from work and PANICKED because suddenly there was a very distinct cricket sound deep in my ear. It truly felt and sounded like a cricket was deep in my ear...

Hi Ashlee, sorry to hear you're having a hard time right now. Congestion in the sinuses/head in general is bad enough, but it can really be hell with T. I've seen similar posts asking about congestion here on TT, and I'd say about 95% of the cases I've seen have cleared up after the cold. I...

I really don't have any medical backing to support this idea, but it almost seems to me that you may have middle ear pressure problems. This is again a wild guess, but thought I would comment. I think I already know the answer to this, but was your T caused by hearing loss? Have a great day...
