Hello darkness, my old friend, I've come to talk with you again

Oh really? So why there are two hair cell rows missing on the left?:nailbiting: yeah the damage should depend on the pressure, some of them look broken, some of them look just tangled. And as for increased neural activity theory it is the most convincing to me, because damage hair cells should...

@Samir I don't freaking know :D But it looks like the bottom of the hair cell is very thin and I think they usually break at this spot (google "outer hair cell rootlet"). I just would be happy if there was a way to calm down the auditory system and lower the increased neurons spontaneous fire...

Yeah it does fade, two of my friends had ear infection for both of them it just faded away after 3~6 months, but not for me..

I would look for rTMS treatment. Repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation is used by psychiatrists to treat depression and also it is shown that it brings relief in tinnitus patients. So basically two ducks with one shot.

@Ian Mac that is interesting if it is due to poor ion balance you should also hear in a distorted, because then a hair cell is moved by the sound pressure it opens it's channel for potassium ions to enter. Afterwards the potential differences becomes an electrical signal and it travels to the...

If you @smith wanna hear something about anxiety smith? Damn my work is very stressful I had huge project deadlines on my back, working +12h a day + the ringing... But I told to my self I wont take any antidepressants and I did and still live by this rule... They are like sleeping pills once...

Sorry to hear @Lakshmi. Everybody says it will get better in time and it is true. The most important thing to do is to stay positive and try to keep yourself occupied. Also look at this video This video explains what scientists know about tinnitus up till now. I think it is very important to...

Just look at what a loud noise can do to your hair cells. I don't think that the damaged cells will generate any sound soon:/

Inner ear infection. You have fluid built up inside your ear. As your one ear has AIR and the other has FLUID the little bone which transmits sound to cochlear moves at different speed, thus it sounds like echo. Had it my self, to me it was best not to freaking move my head so less pressure...

@Michael Leigh ENT didn't gave me anything... she just told me about the increased neuron activity which is the ringing in the ears and that masking can modulate this activity. She is the only one in my country that constantly reads news about tinnitus and she also said that she gets a lot of...

@Michael Leigh Yeah last year was a roller coaster at one point I though I just got used to it but in autumn I got another ear infection and BAM can't recover from it. I talked to one ENT who also has tinnitus and reads scientific journals. She said that with masking you can modulate neurons...

I have had T for around 1 year and boy does it suck. Still reading scientific journals and learning about this condition. One of the most interesting article that I have read is published by Roland Schaette. The article is summed up by the author in this video: . Now I would like to learn...

In my opinion when the body is on a died he becomes shocked and as it goes into survive mode all of your senses becomes very amplified. Event people without tinnitus as they go on a died usually they become more jumpy/nervous. So perception of tinnitus should go off the roof.

It also interests me, because I saw a documentary on BBC about dieting and eating less, which reduces igf-1 growth hormone. That way body reduces fast growth of new cells and goes in repair mode, repairing old damaged cells.

Stay positive @Agnius your symptoms are very different from tinnitus. And the fact that hot shower eliminates the sound is a very promising sign. My guess raised body temperature expands something (like eustachian tube or nose canal) that is giving you the noise when the air flows.

Does not sound like tinnitus. My guess would be something to do with air flow. Tell me what happens if you hold your breath?

@lolkas don't worry about eye protection you should be safe as long as you won't stare at the laser or LED for a long time.. You can use normal sunglasses just to attenuate some light. It is very nice to see people trying to build budget LLLT devices @Cityjohn I feel you, those focusing lenses...

Have been using L-leucine for quite a long time as it is one of the main amino acid that goes to all BCAA supplements for those long workouts at the gym. I don't think that it gave me any effect unless you need high doses for it to work >5grams.

@Samir, I work at a laser centre myself, but not in LZH. Problem with science is that you need funding to do research and to get funding you need to do a lot of paper work, writing projects and so on :/ It is a very slow process. So from my perspective, they spent more time doing paperwork and...

This is just a tiny part that LZH made. And I don't think that it was very complicated. Sure you have to mix the right ingredients for the implant, find the right laser energy for 3d printing other than that is just adding a 3d CAD design. I bet it took 1~2 moths to do so.

In your case, I would go to the nearest hospital or health service. Just don't wait and go get some help or you may regret this for your whole life.

Yes, and it's hard to distinguish if infection is viral or bacterial. So I would go for a combo.

This is not a joke. If it's an inner ear infection you should go to ENT as fast as you can, because everybody says first week is very important. You should ask for non-ototoxic antibiotics and/or something to kill the virus and ask for any other treatments like oxygen chambers. Also you can buy...
