@goodmorning : sorry to give you my home-remedies so late, but I don't visit TT very often now. My recipes : - sleep, regular hours, if not possible I give myself a shot of Lorazepam (40-50mg) - swimming, scubadiving (no eardrum problem, just noise induced T) : can't hear it underwater...

I was on 30 mg a day, 10-20mg Prazepam equals 10mg Diazepam (cf. equivalence table) - please correct me if I'm wrong - and both have more or less the same half-life (time required to eliminate half of the dose). The trap is that there are few side effects until withdrawal where your condition...

Hi! Some news from South of France. I don't come a lot anymore on Tinnitus Talk, things I experience are on a long-term path. I do accept this, now. Wow. 4 years and a half since my car airbag blasted and left me with a noise trauma: an eeeee so loud I would have killed myself. It fortunately...

@New Guy : I moved from suicide attempts to resignation in 4 years... 25 to 30 years left unless fatal disease (cancer etc.) and hoping for a T relief drug in the time lapse (na****m *****b*rbi**l = emergency exit door). @RicoS : fortunately my children are students now, living in Switzerland...

Thanks for your replies. Yes living in France. Masking devices did nothing except annoyance , listening to crickets or waterfalls all day long is simply unbearable to me. I'm not talking about my T around me anymore , It's simply worthless, T = pain in the ear = consult an ENT... :mad::mad::mad...

Yep

Hi all! Well well well. Still alive! rTMS did reduce somehow my tinnitus. It's a kind of soft and sweet white noise around my ear now. Sometimes it's fulling my head and by pressing my skull behind my ear tinnitus, is coming back home. Good dog. Weird. I'll have a new round right after a face...

I have noise induced T after a car accident (airbag blast) for almost 4 years now. 1. Go to your ENT to exclude any disease (such as neurinoma), and forget him/her, since useless ("Try to cope with") from that point. 2. If T is unbearable and you feel you're in hell go to a psychatrist you know...

Sailing, scuba-diving, hi-fi music, self head massage, reading on good days, kissing and talking to the dog on bad days (tiny yorkshire "toy size")...

Lack of sleep, sugar and alcohol 10% No identified reason 90%

Tried many "nature" sounds apps but some are repetitive ad nauseam (the sounds loop again and again). Very irritating. I sleep with windows wide opened and focus on outside noises. Day sounds usually mask my T, now, and now only (after nearly 4 years).

No understanding, no help. At best considered as a headache. At worst as a depression. Try to explain what is T, good luck...

Managed to get rid of any medication on year 3. My T starts to fade during the day, when in bed, just a small hiss. On bad days (less and less) : I sleep in another room and listens Celtic/Brittanic music, very relaxing. Most important : keep the same sleeping pattern. I'm sleeping from 11 pm to...

rTMS Psychiatrist Pink Floyd, Santana, Ted Nugent : their solo guitar totally mask my T Time, sleep, no stress, reading/crosswords on good days, scuba-diving

For your records, I took Lyrica for 2 months, and 20kg... Useless and huge weight gain.

In French Murphy's law is translated by "LEM = Loi de l'Emmerdement Maximum", the time you need it, you can't find it or have forgotten it home...:cry:

@Agrajag364: this is my biggest fear, the revenge of T ! I have my survival kit always on me (with my house keys) anti-noise ear plugs, and finger in the the ear as soon as a Harley passes close to my car. Also when fire exercices are scheduled at work I go outside or leave away ASAP when not...

Hi all! Just a word to give you hope. I had a severe acoustic blast due to an airbag 3 years and a half ago on my left ear only. I told somewhere in the forum my story till the end of my Retigabine intake (16 monts ago I think). I'm having 1 rTMS session per month after an initial 1 session...

Yep 2. I couldn't have a nap the first 2 years, now it's better and can afford it, when T is here the volume remains the same before and after the nap. However, sleeping late in the WE is still difficult. T is buzzing loud at wake up and usually fades 1 or 2 hours after when I'm surrounded by...

@flobo: Nice (06), CHU Pasteur. Le caisson le plus proche de Calais est au CHRU de Lille. @jer: acoustic trauma... probably accelerates inner ear healing, I'm not sure if it is correlated to T improvement...

@tinnitube : no more sessions planned, useless after 3 year. The med team told me it could help healing (not completely) before 3 months but I don't know. Also the French health care takes the sessions in charge 100% (yep, free), so you need good reasons to go for more sessions (try to convince...

170db!!! I'm freaking out!!! Maybe because of lateral airbags in new cars... Unfortunately my windows where closed because of the rain which caused my accident, the sound reflected all over the inside.

@Bill Bauer , as I said in another post, you have to choose between possible T and (!)/or para/tetraplegia... death... I don't know about the loudness of newer airbags when they blast in "modern" cars, but mine was a 1998 VW Golf IV (250,000 km). The crash tests conducted (in 1997 before the...

3 years since my car crash and the airbag blast => very loud, intrusive noise induced tinnitus. I'm far much better, still bad days which p*ss me off, but the distress has gone away. I can read books again (crosswords soon), listening music with high quality speakers (no headphones, they kill...

You'd better not, hypoxy starts at PpO2 < 0.16 bar. I actually did HBOT (10 sessions @ 2.5 bar, 15 m equivalent), it managed to soften T (from eeeeeeeeee to ssssssssssssssh). Level was identical.

It was a simplified article in a scuba review but I think the original paper should be here: https://www.researchgate.net/publication/6915946_Recent_neurochemical_basis_of_inert_gas_narcosis_and_pressure_effects His papers can be found here (English)...

As my pseudo suggests, I'm a seasoned scuba diver, although my T is not related at all. I dive deep air in the 40-60m area (once 80m) (130/200/260 ft) with oxygen mix for decompression. (helium is too expensive here to replace a fraction of nitrogen = trimix). I noticed many times when I...

Sorry if I've been a bit harsh, but I've probably been recommended a very very very bad one (Guess what? Her specialty is "end-life support"... Yeah, good job sweetie...). Just to point out when you're said your T is related to the divorce of your parents and the fact you don't like motorbikes...

For me: total waste of time. Plus, as all charlatans say (I put sophrologists, hypnotists and so on in this category): if you don't get better it's YOUR fault. She told me it was related to my childhood bla bla bla. I ended more distressed than before consulting with suicidal ideation. She...

My experience is Trobalt helped me a lot the first year (200mg TID), decreasing my T from a 8 to a 2 and lasting. It's difficult to say if it's due to Trobalt, healing or habituation. Still, the first effects where awsome. The year after, I quitted progressively under medical supervision down to...

Hi there, for what it's worth, for my bad days (which were good days 2 years ago - once or twice every 2 weeks) I tried this combo, in one shot: Lysanxia (prazepam) 20mg -> Cl channels Lamyctal (lamotrigine) 200 mg -> Ca/Na channels Trobalt (retigabine) 200 mg -> K channels Correct me if I'm...

Absolutely, Trobalt idea came from this forum and it took me time to step into it. The first intake was like a vaccum cleaner sucking up my T in a woosh. Waow. The first month side effects were really scary: very quick blinking of my left eyelid, intense sudation, total lack of arms and legs...

Hi all! My short story ;): Tinnitus on my left ear only blowing up (8-9/10) 6 weeks after a car crash with airbag blasting (130db) in May 2014. No concussion, RMI clear, noise induced I suppose, or the accumulation of previous acoustic traumas (noisy working environment in the offshore oil...
