Just wanted to check in and thank @MindOverMatter and @Nick47 for the tip on trying Magnesium Glycinate instead. I switched from Citrate a few weeks back and my tinnitus has gone way down, so this appears to be working! My tinnitus is still slightly higher than baseline when on no Magnesium at...

Thanks for the tip, I bought some yesterday. I will try it out and hope my spike quiets down. Thanks. I've started taking Glycinate now, let's see how it works for me!

Has anyone whose tinnitus gets severely spiked by Magnesium Citrate found a form of Magnesium that doesn't spike their tinnitus? Which one has worked best while still being effective for calming nerves, relaxing muscle spasms etc.? I need to take Magnesium for other issues but it spikes my...

Was hit with a major life crisis 2 weeks ago, have since been struggling to sleep, eat, exist and obviously T has gone through the roof.

Had to have an mri today. Had them before without issues but this one was WAY louder and a few hours after the mri my T has spiked, freaked.

I have this same problem. I've tested it multiple times, stopping and starting Magnesium, and it never fails. It spikes my tinnitus within 24 hours, and it's no small spike either. I'm in one at the moment since I restarted Magnesium a few days ago again. I really need to take Magnesium for...

Anyone else with peripheral neuropathy? Have you found anything that helps? I'm weary of going on drugs like gabapentin etc.

I didn't actually suffer any hearing loss, most with SCDS have it but not all of us. For me it started with vertigo. I was hit with a bout of vertigo that lasted more than 3 months straight. At first they thought I had BPPV and tried Epley manoeuvres etc. I couldn't walk straight and it was just...

I read your post, thanks for the comforting words.

I have a slight Chiari malformation, however I am not under any more investigations or care for it, it was just visible on an MRI. I do have an inkling myself it's the reason for my frequent neck pains and cervicogenic migraines/headaches I've had my entire life. But I've also got SCDS on both...

I have been thinking about this a lot. I have noticed I am rather bad at this, the making peace part, not just with tinnitus, with all ailments I have started getting with age, bad genes etc. Pains, symptoms that are not lethal or 'dangerous' but that affect my quality of life, that need to be...

Really struggling today, T been going crazy this past week without any clear reason and it's freaking me out.

Just wanted to share some good news and hope in this thread for those of you that got worsened tinnitus after COVID-19. I had 2 vaccination doses with zero impact on my tinnitus. In April this year I got Omicron and was quite sick for many weeks. Sinusitis, congested lungs, coughed until I...

This is what happened to me as well. I was totally habituated for years, tinnitus didn't much bother me anymore even though it was ever present. Got COVID-19 in February 2022 and with it a huge spike that hasn't settled down several months later, struggling to cope once again.

Hi Rhea! I totally relate to your struggle. I too was what I considered completely habituated for many years. I would wear earplugs for louder events such as a bar, louder party, movies etc but not even temporary spikes freaked me out. Until now. A few months back I got COVID-19 and a huge...

I have this exact same thing. Crinkling sounds, cutlery and such are the worst. I have SCDS on both ears so I think it might be what's causing it. I have the same thumbing /vibrating feel from doing certain things with my hands, the noise travels via my bones into my inner ear (this is typical...

We just have to cling to the fact that we survived the first onset of tinnitus, so we should be able to manage a spike as well. I've been doing a tiny bit better the last couple of days, so I'm hoping better days are coming now. How are you doing @emmalee?

Both :/ I used to have it only in one ear the first couple of years but then it started in the other one as well. It's not exactly the same in both ears though. And the first one affected is still way worse than the other, although the other also has pulsatile tinnitus on top of the tonal one. I...

Omicron infection (had two Pfizer shots without any issue) brought me back to these forums and right back down the rabbit hole for the first time again since I first got t years ago. Two months in I'm still struggling without any relief, having a super hard time re-habituating, panicky...

No one? Can it really be that no one on here has SCDS (or similar dehiscence issues) as the underlying reason to their tinnitus ans hyperacusis? I'm in a support group for SCDS sufferers and every single person on there has both tinnitus and hyperacusis + many other symptoms, so I'm thinking...

I did take them as I was in such a bad shape, broken rib and all. It did not make my already worsened tinnitus (from the COVID-19) even worse, thank God. Didn't make it better either (not that I ever thought it would but a girl can dream). The antibiotics finally helped me kick the bug and I am...

I've suffered from tinnitus about the same amount of time as you have @Forever hopeful and I'm in pretty much the same sport as you are, struggling with a new worse tinnitus as of recently after years of what I considered full habituation. My tinnitus never went away, I've heard it every single...

Been a member for years since I first developed tinnitus in 2016 (Tinnitus Talk pretty much kept me sane that first year), but as of lately I'm back as a frequent visitor again so thought I'd introduce myself. I first developed one-sided tinnitus, a single tone that woke me in the middle of the...

I got a pretty serious COVID-19 infection almost a month back. After the initial infection passed I developed a sinus infection. My doctor managed to treat me for it without any antibiotics per my request although it took over 10 days to clear up with the help of other medications...

Sorry to hear this happened to you, I'm in a similar situation trying to rehabituate for a second time. Been away from these forums for years now. I was completely habituated to my tinnitus. Yes, I still noticed it every single day bit it had stopped bothering me, no stress response whatsoever...

I try not to think about the daunting forever at all. Instead I concentrate on thinking 'can I survive this moment just now with my T? Yes? how about an hour? fine.' So I do that hour, moment, day, week. And I figure the rest of my life is just gonna be moments like that stacked on each other...

Hi Michael, sorry to hear your having a rough time. I am as well for the same reason, sinuses been bothering me lately so my T has ramped up and the anxiety reared it's ugly head at me once again. I'm about 1,5 years in and yes I have had a cold induced spikes earlier that went back down. But...

I have three kids, three really LOUD kids at that, actually I think having had them around me screaming and being super noisy for more than ten years is partly what has caused my T. We used to live in a house with horrible acoustics up until a year ago so it really made all sounds super loud...

So I've been having a really bad spike for about two weeks after having had a much better period for a few weeks prior to that where my T seemed to go way down in volume and I was feeling really hopeful. I think it might be due to my having visited a physiotherapist several times and been doing...

Thanks all for your comments. I have already booked an appointment with my therapist back from when I first developed anxiety many years ago, I figure I need to go either to deal with any possible bad news (hopefully not) or to deal with this past years events and hopefully get rid of this...

So, as many of us in here I've always been pretty highly strung so to speak, super attentive to my surroundings as well as my own body. Developed generalised anxiety disorder many years ago, so getting T an H a year ago hit me really hard, but I've been coping somewhat and am pretty ok on a day...

I've always had some floaters, but very very light mild ones, past year since onset of tinnitus they are getting worse and worse, more and more. it's not that I've just started noticing I know this for sure as I've always been sensitive to noticing any slight symptom of any kind my whole life...

I feel like there is. I got T and floaters (never had any before and yes I was always hypervigilant and anxiety prone also before T) around the same time.

Hope you feel better soon @glynis.

I often think about that stuff @Mentos , maybe not about moving there myself although I have at times entertained the thought of living beachside with wave sounds 24/7 to keep my T at bay. But more that when I feel panicky about never living in silence again I remind myself that living in...

Definite increase in my T half the month. Freaks me out each and every time until I check my calendar. Makes complete habituation difficult i find.

So I thought I'd let you all know how it went! It went really well! Way over expectation. I even survived it without any type of sedating medicine which I never thought would have been possible. Yes I freaked out a bit for a while and felt like I was about to pass out at one point but they took...

So I've been putting it off for a whole year now since I got my T but tuesday I've got an appointment to pull my wisdom tooth on my T side and I'm freaking out. I'm dead scared of the dentist to begin with but this T thing has made it ten times worse as I'm so scared it'll get worse. The tooth...

So what's the theory on artificial sweetener induced T then? Is the damage permanent or should a spike caused by it go back down once your body has cleared it all out ?

Hey all. It's been one year since I first got my T in august last year. I was totally habituated, getting along nicely after the first 4-5 months of pure agony/anxiety trough the roof, panicking over my life as I'd known it being over etc. I was feeling triumphant even, that I'd survived my...

Hi all. Haven´t been in the forums for a while (as I don´t need them anymore, never thought I´d get to that point) but I thought I´d drop by just to share my success story and offer some hope. So I got hit with T last august out of nowhere, my best guess is it was connected to a severe sinuitis...

Hi @Rosalinda, fellow finn here too. I sleep with my laptop on my bedside table on the side of my bad ear, I use this page as a masker for sleep: asoftmurmur.com You can choose what sounds you prefer and mask your T best, ramp them up and down as you need. When my T is ramped up the cricket...

Hey, new on forums, introduced myself a couple of weeks back in introduction forums. Basically got hit with tinnitus a few months back, suffered like hell at first, threw me into total despair. Have suffered from anxiety for years and easily catastrophize so tinnitus hit me like a disaster and I...

Thanks @Lorenzo74 and @billie48 for the support. Glad to say I'm doing much better now than when I posted. My bad spike a few weeks back that made me panicky calmed back down and haven't had a bad one since, thank god, fingers crossed it won't come back. Trying not to think about the future too...

Hi all. Been lurking around here looking for advice and support for a while now so thought I'd introduce myself. Have been experiencing hyperacussis for quite some time. Slowly growing over a couple of years I'd say, connected to having my kids always being REALLY loud and our house having...
