@bill 112 Your story is horrible! Why did they refuse you steroids?

@Blake it's a very good question! Maybe these old people you are referring to were perhaps birds in an anterior life! I don't think that hearing loss is genetic, but I do think that there are more vulnerable ears than others, and I can refer to my own story, I have an accident 4 months ago with...

@Markku, why sleep with a real fan when you can have the same sound through your mp3? Just asking! :cool: :p

Thank you @Louise for this thread, I was asking myself the same question and as I read the following posts, especially those of @Karl I understood that hearing aids can really make a huge difference on reducing the perception of tinnitus. But the question I also ask myself is what is exactly the...

I was just wondering if the wind and water that I hear right now through my mp3 (as white noise I'm still alas afraid of my T) can damage my hearing after 3 months, the volume is of course very very low, but I was just questioning myself if earphone could be bad for the hair cells, it' not music...

I have read that recently in a french documentation, they don't give cortisone and vasodilatator easily in the UK, for recent T sufferers it's not really a good protocole, acoustic trauma is an emergency and only cortisone and vasodilatator can save your precious hair cells, can restore a part...

@Louise I don't know if you are still active on the forum, but if it's the case can you give me the link of the thread of @mock turtle?

I know this not the thread for Rivotril, (sorry!), but I am just wondering if there is not a kind of " natural Rivotril" now on the market with exacltly the same effects without the addiction effects?

Thank you @undecided for your answer, when you say 3-4 weeks do you mean with Rivotril? What is your own experience with that drug? If it's the case how long did you take it and what kind of improvement did you feel?

Jack I think in "as good as it gets" for this line he got an Oscar!! :woot::rockingbanana:

I don't know if homeopathic remedy works or not, apparently it works pretty well for @coolbeer, I did some quick research on homeopathic treatments for T and tihs is what I found: # Chininum sulfuricum 9CH or 15CH # Natrum Salicylicum 9CH or 30CH # Ignatia Amara 5CH # Arnica 15CH # Colocynthis...

A lot of information here @coolbeer, but why do you not mention CHINIMUM SULFURICUM? I thought it was the main homeopathic remedy for tinnitus :)

@Markku, are you still taking clonazepam? My belgium ENT prescribed me Rivotril last december but I was so afraid of the side effects and the withdrawal effects that I didn't dare to take it, (as I have understood it's very hard/painful to stop this kind of drug). I'm still on xanax but now I am...

Hi @Sebastians, for me it was a combination of whiplash and the airbags deployment :( It was a brand new car and before my car accident I didn't know that airbags could be so dangerous for our hearing, If only I had known this before buying our car, I would have asked my husband to deactivate...

Why did you try antibiotics? I thought it was ototoxic for the ears! Strange that your doc gave you antibiotic, I think that prednisolone helped you the most. When I was on prednisolone (alas 3 weeks after the onset of my T which was far too late to save some of my precious hair cells :() I woke...

It's really, really IRONIC, isn't it? Sometimes I wonder if the brain is so SMART!! Because it's our lovely brain that produces this horrible horrible sound but at the same time another part of our smart brain is literally afraid of this sound! :nailbiting:

Hi Glynis, what do you mean by sound enrichment exactly? I wanted to start a new thread and ask you all a specific question about masking, but I found this thread. Since the onset of my T, I had a lot of anxiety and panic attacks at the beginning it lasted about 1 month, until my man bought me...

I just want to tell you something @jazz You are an amazing and wonderful human being! Great post!

Hi @Louise, if Rivotril has so much "rebond effects" and is highly addictive, maybe the solution is to take " a natural Rivotril" As I have understood Rivotril is a combination of 2 different molecules an anxiolytic and an anti-epileptic, I was just wondering if a natural product having the same...

Thanks @Lisa88 it's exactly what I want to hear! :woot: by the way french actor Anthony Delon had bad T for 2 years, it happened after the death of his nanny (his mother was french actress Nathalie Delon who traveled a lot abroad because of her work), he said in his autobiography that he...

Thanks @Alue that's what I thought too, were you also in the same AM trial?

Hi Brian, thank you for this post, it gives me hope for the future :) I have T since last december, habituation is certainly the key, but it's still very hard for me to achieve that. It's a mourning/grieving process of our hearing lost, very very hard to accept. When you said you've done the AM...

Thanks @AlexSongitus for your quick answer, I read your other posts and also those who went through the trial, I send this evening an application to the UZA in belgium, but as I have understood they don't accept patients who are taking AD so I guess I will be turned down because of this. I am...

Hi Alex, I didn't read yet all your post, ( I was in vacation for 10 days), but I do understand that you have had good results with the AM-101. How is it now since you take it? I understood that you took prednisolone first, when did you have the treatment, right after your acoustic trauma or...

Yes, you are definitly a pessimistic, chronic after a week? You should read the autobiography of Anthony Delon, his Tinnitus disappeared after 2 years, we don't need your pessimistic thoughts on this forum....

Can you properly READ FRENCH?? Did you really understand the story of alexandre Thomas?? Do you know who is responsible of the worsening of his T&H?? Alexandre (and I know him) had a manageable/medium H&T untill he met the great Philippe Peinard who told him not to protect his ears anymore and...

As I can see people can be MEAN without saying any insults! I was not TEXTING, My man was calling me because he was under great STRESS and I know he wanted me to take the phone because he was depressed by the recent death of his father, it was dark and my only mistake was to want to take the...

Who the fuck are you ? How can you dare to say I was texting when I was driving???? where do you read this???? Do you know what happened this particular night???? where you with me and my daughter in the car???? Your are not a tinnitus sufferer for me your are just a hidden ENT with your...

Yes, you're right the world is full of surprise like my car accident :(:banghead:

Thank you for the link @attheedgeofscience English is not my mother language so I had to use a lot of my energy and concentration to read your very technical article, but it's OK I'm still alive :bored: :wacky: A few things I quoted from this intelligent piece of work: " Fowler (1942), noted...

I have read that also in an article recently, they were calling that " hidden hearing loss" or something like that, that explains why so many of us have tinnitus with a " normal audiogram " but I thought that nerve fibers unlike hair cells could regenerate after a couple of months which is not...

A lot of informations here thank you so much @Cyberdrink I didn't know that T was considered permanent after 2 years, I thought it was only after 6 months! Great news! :woot:

another success story here, Anthony Delon the son of famous french actor Alain Delon had Tinnitus for 2 years, the cause was a big depression after the death of his second mother (his nanny, because her mother was an actrice who traveled a lot), his Tinnitus disappeard after 2 years! you can...

What are the things according to you that improves or worsens the perception of your Tinnitus? (I exclude of course all the noisy places without hearing protection!) As fas as I'm concerned the few things I have noticed that improves the perception of my tinnitus were: a) A good night's sleep...

Yes you're right @eldudebro it's my big fear too! :( How can you possibly habituate when the T become worst over the years? And the worst part is that you have to protect your ears all the time in noisy places and you cannot do the things you used to love (I took singing lessons that I had to...

Hi @I who love music, I have read your success story on the thread, congratualtion! It was due to an acoustic trauma when you were very young am I right? Can I ask you If you had the usual "emergency treatment " back then in the 70,s for noise trauma? If you went immediatly to an ENT did they...

@attheedgeofscience Sorry to say, but it's really drives me mad when I read so much stupidity coming from a Tinnitus sufferer:mad: what is your next step on this matter, are you gonna tell me that all the people on this forum have exactly the same intensity/level of tinnitus that is to say no...

Thank you for the explanattion @ResonanceCEO I am very impressed by your research, in fact you have become an expert to the subject of Meniere disease! :rockingbanana: But I have a question that bothers me a lot since the onset of my T, how is it possible that some people have great hearing loss...

Waow, thank you so much @gary for your kind words and for sharing the story of your masseuse! :LOL: My mood was very low today and your story really cheer me up! I know that whiplash can give you also Tinnitus, ( my neighbour had multiple whiplash), Did she tell you what kind of treatment she...

Hi @noisebox, I don't know if it's possibe to remove the airbag in UK, first I thought it was not possible but in fact you can! I had always driven old car without airbags before our new car and I've never had an accident, it had to be a brand new car with the horrible airbags for I know the "...

Thank you so much @seal for your kind words! And yes I had cortisone (Medrol) and also a vasodilatator (piracetam), but this treatment was given to me very late (2week after my accident) that's why I feel still so angry and despair about the onset of my Tinnitus because nobody told me the day of...

@LeQuack it's really horrible! :mad: and it reminds me my own accident :banghead: I am still so angry about that, and also nobody told me ( the guys from the emergency) that I should run to see an ENT for my ears :arghh: Next friday our airbags will be for good removed from our car, but frankly...

Thank you @Alue for your answer :) So what you are saying to me it's even if I had been treated within 24/48h it would have changed nothing regarding the hair cells? I always thought that with the emergency treatment we could recover some part of hearing loss and therefore avoid the onset oh...

Hi Billie, maybe I am going to say something stupid, but I think that people who have a high level of anxiety or sensitivity are the people who love life the most and maybe can cope better at the end than "normal people" even with horrible illness ( T & H) just because they love life so much! I...

Hi Marie, my tinnitus started last december, it was indeed very scary at the beginning, and had a lot of panic attacks, but I begun to have less fear/anxiety early in March, but it comes and goes, it depends if I had a good sleep or not, it depends my state of mind or if my mind is busy to do...

I think that Kurt Gödel the great mathematician your are speaking to must have suffered more from OCD than " a survival instinct from the past", like the great Howards Hugh ( who was brilliantly played by Leo Di Caprio in the film "the Aviator") In fact poor Howards was so scared to be...

Mikey, I'm sorry to hear about your experience with the AM-101 trial, I don't know if your are still active on this forum, but I would like to know if you feel better now after 1 year? I didn't read all the post yet about the AM, that's what I am doing right now (56 pages! :eek:,) but there is...

Hi @Reinier, concerning the airbag, you can ask to deactivate the airbag on the driver side. I thought first it was not possible but in fact it is. My husband called our Renault garage last week and they agreed to do it. But legally, we have to sign a contract in order to discharge the garage in...

Sorry but I don't get you, this forum is a support forum, we all need support and hope, sorry to say but I don't want to give up HOPE! Maybe you have succeeded to cope with your T very fast, but believe me it's not the case for everyone, and mine by the way is very recent, plus I had anxiety...

Hi everyone, Genevieve here, I have a question I'd like to ask. As I said in my introduction story I had a car accident 3 months ago with airbag deployment. I didn't know before my car accident that airbag could be so dangerous for the hearing. It was a brand new car (4 months), and if I had...

Hi Reinier, I just read your story, I am also from the Nederlands ( but I was born in france originally) so my english is not as good as yours! Congrat for that. I have a question: when your accident happened did you see/or go to the emergency immediatly? I said that because you didn't mention...

Hi Cornelius, I just read your story and what you said is true. Since my car accident I have made a lot of research and I have surffed to a lot of french/ Dutch forum. Actually there are still a lot of doctors/ ENT who still believed that T is more "psy" than a real illness, shame on them...

The side effects of the trobalt are so scary, why coudn't they find a good treatment for T without so many irreversible side effects? Scientists can send men to the moon, but no one has found yet a cure for Tinnitus who has always existed, it's so unfair:(

Hilarious! We can suffer and still have a lot of humor! :thankyousign:

Thank you very much Billie for the link, this interview was really great to watch, I knew that William Shatner had Tinnitus, but I din't know that David Letterman had Tinnitus too! It's a relief to see them both so funny in this interview despite their suffering!

Aspirin is known to be in some cases ototoxic for the inner ear, hope it's not the case for you, your are not alone, this site is really wonderful and can give you a lot of support, take care, genevieve

Hi everyone, I bought ear tone one week ago (I live in the Netherlands), the one I bought, compared to the English/French product has no ginkgo biloba in it. Tone was highly recommended to me by my neighbour who had a very positive effect with that product. After one week it's too soon for me to...

Hi Max, I'm very happy to hear that your tinnitus has gone from 9 to 1-3! It gives me so much hope for the future! Did you have a lot of hearing loss 5 months ago? Mine ENT told me that when the tinnitus is due to hearing trauma the loss is at about the 4000hz frequency. Mine 5th hearing test...

Hallo everyone, I wouldn' t have thought 2 months ago that I will join the tinnitus talk club, I surfed on the website since 2 months now, and I have read many of your stories about this horrible disease, some very poignant to read, but because of my horrible English I didn' t dare to post my...
