I’m late to this but I started browsing MPP from page 1. It’s like a crazy novel. Some really great stuff back there for some good laughs.

Whatever happened to seeing Jastreboff get a Stone Cold stunner in 2K? I was rather looking forward to that.

For sure. And the music was blaring as it does at weddings. Plugs, and took the odd break to give my ears a rest I still have the big tinnitus but in any case it didn’t get worse so I am grateful.

It went good. Wore earplugs. No spikes or worsened tinnitus.

What does it mean if coffee/sugar etc. DOESN'T affect my tinnitus? It's just... there, always! Only moving my jaw left to right, and pressing on my temporal muscle increases the noise differently. I suspected TMD/TMJ, had a mouth guard splint done, but my significant other accidentally busted...

I haven't been here in awhile. T is still bad. May have mild H but I think I'm also anxious. Handling it ALOT better, but still very sad.

You see a doctor and request a blood test. Specifically ask for Vitamin B12 and I would say Vitamin D blood test.

There is some truly brilliant stuff on this thread

I can do the same thing. No idea though...

Still have T but I think I am habituated.

I got married a few months ago. I was very scared and anxious about it making my tinnitus worse. We had hired a DJ. I did not use earplugs. I danced on the dance floor with loud music (I couldn't resist Electric Feel by MGMT). I got buzzed with booze and even a little pot. And... I'm fine...

So past my one year tinnitus anniversary, I have been experiencing dizziness or what I am assuming is to be vertigo, right before falling asleep. This is actually infrequent, it happens occasionally, and it "jolts" me awake, but it is unmistakably the feeling of the room spinning. It only...

Oh I just meant more the dumb "you shouldn't ask these questions" stuff. I absolutely agree with you about playing Devil's advocate no argument from me there.

Nobody should be writing anything negative on this particular thread. This could be a major step forward and there is important work being done that we should all be extremely grateful for.

It's been one year since onset. Zero improvement. And no doctors will or can help me. I have been depressed everyday and hate being alive

No improvement. No hearing loss. Maybe I have this so-called "hidden hearing loss" I read about. I brought this up with my ENT and he said he had never heard of it. According to 3 audiologists and 1 ENT I have no hearing loss. Whenever I'm in a social setting with lots of people I hear just...

They make you listen to classical music at a certain frequency. That's all the treatment is. I met with a hearing specialist about it as his clinic sold Sound Options.

I tried but only got a temporary leave from nights. It sucks.

@Tata How did you find out that your tinnitus was coming from the neck

@Sonic17 Hey, I went regularly, for a good solid 3 months, no change to tinnitus.

My ear fullness did go away on its own

Apologies for late replies. I try to limit my visits here, I check up on the Research news (hoping and praying for a cure however unlikely), that's about it. As you can all imagine, it's been crunch time lately. The big day is this Saturday. I appreciate all thoughtful messages and advice...

I think... we just don't know. It may or it may not. I think reduction is possible, a good point made by Rubenslash regarding hearing aids. A reduction may just be enough for some of us.

Frequency, Decibel, and Susan Shore's signal timing device

Well there is research ongoing to hopefully accomplish just that (Frequency Therapeutics for example). It just might happen.

@Shera Reading through your reply to the OP's post I have found a lot of good info for some of my issues as well. This forum is pretty wicked sometimes. I hear a bunch of weird cracking noises in my right ear, which is where most of my tinnitus resides as well. I hear this cracking stuff if I...

Never. Every old post I've read always says soon or ten years or whatever. Same old. And being told to adapt to it depresses me even more. So yeah.

I use NatureScape

There are a few examples of some people's tinnitus either disappearing or at least improving with TMJ treatments like splints, physio, chiro, etc.. There are some I've read not only here but on various different forums. It's a strictly 50/50 chance from the sounds of it though so it's one of...

I'm praying, PRAYING this can be applied to our affliction somehow... still some amazing news I must say.

@object16 Fascinating post, though when I quit for an extended period of time my tinnitus didn't decrease at all. Imm back to vaping it, mostly indicas... it definitely helps me sleep.

@nmackintosh There's many dispensaries in Vancouver, not sure which you are in but I'd look up dispensaries in your local area. Canna Clinic has CBD

@nmackintosh Where in Canada are you

@Carlyi No a lot of that does make sense. I'm hoping the night guard does help but I'm not terribly optimistic without an official diagnosis which has been eluding me. I have been going to an Upper Cervical chiropractor who has been adjusting my atlas, no T reduction unfortunately but it is...

@Carlyi Not sure at all to be frank. At a complete loss, same with my doctor. The quick facts: 1. Tinnitus suddenly appeared out of the blue. No acoustic trauma. I bumped my forehead two weeks prior to tinnitus onset. Very light bump, so a potential cause. Tinnitus primarily in right...

The only thing medical science can explain is anything textbook and obvious. Tinnitus is neither.

@PaulBe I had quit for 6 months. The second I got my tinnitus, which randomly came out of nowhere, I quit cigarettes, coffee, booze, kicked up exercise, drank loads of water. Despite the smoking I was a very fit guy already who ran marathons and led a complete stress free lifestyle and slept 8...

@Telis Absolutely no change at all to my tinnitus. Exact same noise, pitch, and I very randomly get that spontaneous fleeting tinnitus, you knownwhen it suddenly gets really loud for like five seconds then fades away.

@Telis My attitude towards it improved. Might be a very slight decrease in either the noise or my anxiety levels. Not sure.

@Lisacb Hey Lisa, not so much. I have only just recently looked into jaw therapy. Unfortunately my benefits ran out this year with all of the chiropractor stuff I tried earlier. I will be looking into that avenue. I am getting my dental orthotic in a couple of weeks. Thank you for looking out :)

No need to argue y'all, I'm very happy with a lot of the suggestions and perspective here, and taking them all to account (and thanks @Sean for saving me from throwing $ away). It's why I asked in the 1st place :) And don't worry, I still intend on having a fun and memorable evening...

@Jake007 I really appreciate that, thank you very much and I will. Tinnitus sucks, it really sucks, but come hell or high water I will not let that ruin what will be me and my future wife's happiest day. Thanks again dude!

@Sean I can assure you, I genuinely appreciate and look into all advice (it's why I wrote here in the first place!), so absolutely no need to be sorry. I actually cancelled my order and am conducting more research. As much as I want to go foam (and I just might!), I'm bearing in mind photos...

@Jomo I just ordered these: https://www.amazon.com/Earasers-HEM001-Musicians-Plugs-Medium/dp/B00E2D9HAA/ref=sr_1_2_a_it?ie=UTF8&qid=1501467357&sr=8-2&keywords=earasers+musicians+plugs I'll definitely tell him to make sure the bass is low

@Sean Pretty much my plan. I don't think I'll be hanging around the dance floor, and if I am I'll have my plugs in and keep it short. Thankfully, I viewed a layout of the place just now and I figured out a good place to put the DJ booth/speakers so I'll be at a decent distance from the...

I've been looking forward to it for a long, long time. In fact, I really wish now I did it sooner. I can't believe tinnitus infected my life just as I felt like life was in the palm of my and my incredibly understanding fiance's hands Funny how life screws with you. I appreciate your message.

@Sean I actually paid for him last year. Before tinnitus, and signed a contract, so cancelling means I lose money, and result in a very pissed off bride. @Bill Bauer Good suggestions, but unfortunately I have well over 200 guests coming from all over the world (USA, parts of Europe, parts of...

So I'm getting married in t minus 4 weeks. This has been a taxing year, mentally and physically, since my lovely tinnitus decided to show up back in February. I was excited to be marrying the love of my life, and yet I am frightened beyond belief because we all know how loud these things get...

Hey man, I've never written to you personally, but I just wanted to let you know, alot of your information and writings have helped immensely in these past few months. Thank you for all you do.

I have never been given a concrete answer on this. My ears crackle at the time, especially when I flex my ear. I was told this was eustachian tube dysfunction but that was ruled out. I've had it for almost a year now.

Nice little article: https://techcrunch.com/2017/07/28/a-race-is-underway-to-repair-our-hearing-with-medicine/

What kind of tinnitus did you have? How did you acquire it?

In Canada, at least Ontario for me: We get free emergency care, meaning break your arm, need a cast, fluids taken in, medications administered in the ER, x rays, pharmacy, doctor diagnosis, stitches, giving birth, etc all covered. Wait times are abysmal and brutally long. Doctors not very...

Great info, minus going to see health care provider. That was a waste of time... Ugh... Well it's good if you want pills.

@mathewfromcanada Where you located in Canada?

@Fabrikat Well most audiologists still consider the 8khz hearing test as sacrosanct... despite it being out of date and only being useful to sell hearing aids :p How can those audiologists and hearing aid salespeople still be taken seriously...

@NatureHiker Man I sincerely hope you're correct Well hopefully if the theory proves true, the dead hair cells. Hopefully. Not like there's an imaging diagnostic available at the moment. One can dream...

@Sonic17 I'm in Mississauga, just outside of Toronto. Never been to Manitoba but will be going soon, friends of mine who live out in Winnipeg say the same thing about the weather. I've only heard about the Montreal Tinnitus Clinic from a recent post on the reddit tinnitus page. I sent them an...
