I've had tinnitus for probably 6 years now. The majority of it was caused by a -mycin antibiotic. And in one ear a portion of it was caused by taking a puck to the ear over my helmet 2 years ago (loud). Lucky me. The -mycin aftermath also included some hyperacusis that lasted a few weeks but...

Ya, I generally do when I do things like cut the grass, snowblow, movies, etc. Wearing the extra plug for driving and what not right now. Bertman has a good recommendation for earplugs that I want to get asap.

I hope so. Its been a week. Still hanging around. If not, its only one ear, and its not worse than my other T (just a different tone). Seems to have settled on a volume for now so that's good. Starts out barely noticeable in the am, but ramps up during the day. Using an earplug for noisy...

Pm'ed you. Be interested to know what you've found out Bertman

Thx, ya I have moments of anxiety (mostly because it increased volume so dramatically over a few days ... hopefully no more) but I have learned a lot from the first go around. So I'm throwing an ear plug in when i do noisy stuff, but otherwise I'm ok. I'm just trying to educate myself around...

Well.... bummer. I first got mild Tinnitus years ago, but it was the sort of tinnitus that you would barely hear in a quiet room. Very easy to live with. Unknown how ( I think noise ). Then came 2016, when I received oxotoxic antibiotics. I'm sure you know how that goes ...... Anyways, a...

Happy to see it hit media. Link: https://www.ctvnews.ca/mobile/health/experimental-treatment-could-help-reduce-constant-ringing-of-tinnitus-1.3746819#_gus&_gucid=&_gup=Facebook&_gsc=gu9mGJf " Researchers may have made the first steps in developing an effective treatment for the common and...

I actually somehow sleep better. I think because I'm a little ADHD and I tend to think to much in bed and that keeps me awake. Actually focusing in on the noise helps me sleep better. Weird right? Bugs me most in the evening, kids go to bed, I'm trying to think but can't have noise on...

Biaxin? not I.

thanks for adding. Interesting enough I am on a low sugar diet myself to help with my grossly high Cholesterol because I was put on a Statin and bad things happened. Anyways, I was also in a bad state when I took mine. I had whopping cough, and it took almost 4 months to get rid of, and for at...

ah yes, Biaxin strikes again. Took it for 7 days, a year later its still around in force. I wish I knew about ototoxicity !

I had mine from exactly this mixed with pain killers for a period of 7 days (out of the 10 I suppose to take). Mines bad, and has probably gotten worse more than better. You'd be suprised what's ototoxic out there. Hell, any over the counter pain relief is also ototoxic too! Anyways, learn from...

So update, I've decided to stop taking it I started getting really bad dizzy spells along with gross level of nausea. It was like I was walking around 3 or 4 beers deep. Pressure on the top of my head and down around my ears (like headphones). To add, my T has spiked, not a little either...

Tylenol tends to spike mine ... for a few days.

Thanks for your input. I also believe that Statins are bad for you, but I also feel that I don't have much choice. The only other options that are available are the new injectable types like Rapatha (1x a month). They are inhibitors ... but not a ton of knowledge around long term effects since...

Developed bad tinnitus after a round of Antiboitics for 5 days. Anyways, long story short I'm 37 and my cholesterol isn't great (genetic, both parents had it high, both fit/eat well/exercise/slim. Dad had an attack at 55) and the last 6 months of being on a Fenofibrate hasn't worked well enough...

ok :)

Ok, what would you do? I've got a little anxiety over what to take. My T came about over combining to many meds. Namely a Antiboitic (clarithromycin), Motrin (at max dosage per day), over the counter sleeping pills, and steroid inhaler over a 7 day period. Turned out I had whooping cough for...

Yes, I'm aware, I just mean for the odd 1 day headaches and what not. I can't find any information out there.

Of all the common pain killers out there, which one is the safest for us tinnitus sufferers, maybe by rank? I've been using Tylenol, but I was curious.

Holy cow guys! For the last 3 days my T has suddenly dropped quite a bit. I can't hear it for the most part during the regular day. Its wonderful. Now this is all on very weak ground, but I noticed a few weeks back after eating some pumpkin soup that I experienced a small drop in T for about 3...

I disagree, and I know that's what others have said, BUT the sensation was very notable. Warm toes, ears, fingers, etc, and a pressure behind the ears, and a raised T level. I wasn't imagining it. As soon as I stopped, 24 hours later things started feeling a lot better.

Ginkgold, for 1 week, 60mg Day 6, 7 .... noticed T increase notably, while also experiencing hot fingers, toes, ears, etc, and increased pressure behind ears. Stopped taking it, and T returned to baseline after 1-2 days. Going to say, Fail (for me)

Little update. Tried Complex B, noticed nothing, but it was a short test period. Outside of super yellow Pee that is. Stopped taking it. Ordered Ginkgold from Amazon, started small, took 60mg, once a day, and on day 6 and 7. Had negative effects. T got louder. The pressure behind the ears was...

Ya, I took a massive hit from BIAXIN as well. Lesson learned, and it didn't even fix the problem. Ended up being adult whooping cough that took 3-4 months to get over. Thanks Doc's. Mine is like putting my head next to an old school crt tv, with a pitchy sound tacked to the end of it. Hard to...

I find it very hard to record. There are just to many factors. I too have thought, "oh, its worse" then later in the day "Oh, its better" but there is just to many inputs during the day to make those micro assessments. I think you can take something like going to bed every night and judge...

I've been looking at lot into different things. What I noticed with Ginko is that people seem to say the regular cheap stuff in stores doesn't work, but people have suggested looking into ebs 761 versions of it. I've ordered the Nature's Way stuff, reviews also seem really high on Amazon (4.5/5...

Well, its not really a matter of getting it, but rather a top up from 13 years ago. Bummer, but ya I'm certain it was a combination of ototoxic med's.

It was 7 days. I had enough for 10 days but decided it wasn't having an effect so stopped. Luckily it seems. Biaxin, which from what I understand isn't suppose to be all that bad.

So, no real change for me. Getting somewhat used to it at least. Been taking a B complex my wife had sitting around. About 3 weeks, but no real difference there. Well, maybe. Its hard to draw the line between habitation and any meaningful difference. I actually don't hear it anymore when I'm...

ya, I first got T when I was 22, noise induced, but it was super minor and I could only hear it in bed. I'd call it a 2/10. Fast forward to now, 38 and a round of antibiotics along with a full course of Advil, and my T has tripled. Now I can hear it in a noisy room, sometimes driving, etc. Maybe...

Hello! So I've had a rough year haha. Started with a eye injury so bad I questioned normal use, but thankfully after 6 months its 95%. Got married (I'm 36), went on a trip and on our way back I had some pretty solid stomach/digestive issues that lasted a couple months. Best guess I might have...
