Tinnitus is a clinically documented complication of Shingles. For example: In this FDA clinical study of the Shingrix Shingles vaccine, the following quote and reference to 2 additional studies is made: "may result in sensorineural hearing loss, tinnitus and vestibular symptoms such as vertigo...

I've had both Pfizer COVID-19 vaccine shots -- I'm 11 days after the second shot with no incremental tinnitus side effects. But then again, my tinnitus is so bad now after just the first shot of the Shingrix Shingles vaccine, I would be hard pressed to notice a worsening tinnitus if the Pfizer...

I had the opposite experience. Reactions hours after the supposedly new and improved 2-shot regime Shingrix shot are the same reactions and same intensity as my original noise-induced tinnitus. I picked up a new 3rd tone/pitch and the ~14 kHz pitch became more intense. In the past 5 months...

@Thymus, since you seek a forum dedicated to scientifically-proven discussion, may I direct you to both of Tinnitus Talk forums: Research News — "The latest on tinnitus research. Post your finds, discuss others'." Treatments — "Drugs, supplements, therapies & treatments that have at least some...

Thymus - Your posts are very misleading - they can lead a reader to believe they are not at risk of tinnitus or exacerbated tinnitus symptoms resulting from the Shingrix vaccine. As I learn more, my wording from the 158-page FDA document was in error not scientifically precise. But the fact...

Thymus - I believe your post has the effect of being misleading to readers. I recommend that you delete your post. At the beginning of your post you write to de-link tinnitus from Shringrix vaccine (i.e., "Zostavax, a live, attenuated VZV [Shingles] vaccine administered SC as a single dose.")...

Four (4) Month UPDATE since the 1st dosage of Shingrix Shingles Vaccine with pre-exisiting tinnitus & minor hyperacusis... Four (4) months after my first dosage of the Shingrix Shingles Vaccine, I can confidently say my tinnitus is consistently louder than before the Shingrix vaccine. I will...

Day 8 post-Shingrix Shingles Vaccine with per-exisiting tinnitus & hyperacusis... Overall improvement noted -- much more bearable but not entirely down to the levels of pre-Shingrix vaccine tinnitus, hyperacusis and hearing loss. Tinnitus: It is back down to its usual loud level of dual 12...

Gosh, I'm sorry to hear that but glad you posted that I'm not alone in having this aggravated Tinnitus reaction/spike after the Shingles vaccination. For me, day 4 post Shingles vaccine had major pain triggered by the slightest sounds, hearing loss and screaming tinnitus. I sought relief with a...

FYI for others future reference -- I just learned the hard way to thoroughly research vaccines for potential impact on tinnitus and hyperacusis. I received 11/15/2020 the first of two Shingles vaccinations (SHINGRIX Zoster Vaccine - Recombinant, Adjuvanted) and it has increased my noise-induced...

@Henry Orlando FL Well said! For new tinnitus sufferers who may read this in the future: For me going on 3 years with continuous sound-induced tinnitus, environmental factors have only worsened my tinnitus (so be extra careful going forward). But with with the specific don't...

Separately but related, one TT.com member a few years back wondered aloud if the reduced visitation of legacy TT.com forum members was an indication that T is fleeting or generally recoverable. I would posit: No, That the reduced visitation of legacy TT.com forum members is generally due to...

Your disagreement with me is out-of-the-original-context. Specifically your link refers to a clinical study of a particular treatment for a particular type of single/limited acoustical trauma whereas the original statements I disagreed with were "the internet is too negative about T" and "the...

No. I disagree. The internet is NOT too negative about T. The majority of sufferers do NOT recover. It is the rare exception that someone fully recovers from T. What ended happening to me was predicted by veterans with T on this board. That is after 2 years: 1) the mind learns to tune it...

Believe it. I got permanent T (14khz) almost two years ago immediately after going to the dentist for my first crown. He spent about 20-30 minutes of what seemed like non stop drilling. Prior to that, I only had an occasional ringing in my ears (and at a much much much lower frequency) like...

Some thoughts for your consideration: For me, I haven't been able to form an opinion on the effectiveness of water laser because I can not find a dentist in my metro-Chicago area of 10 million people who uses water laser on adults for hard tissue (cavities) and definitely not for existing...

Michael - You believe it is a needless worry. I believe you are wrong. For 50 years I never had tinnitus let alone really knew what was. I then went to the dentist to get a crown (my first) and came out with 14khz T that is so loud it can compete with conversations.

I recently had a metal filling removed, the hole enlarged and a composite filling installed. The dentist did it 5 seconds on and 10 seconds off. This was much shorter (may be a couple minutes with longer pauses to check progress) and a much quieter drill than the other dentist who drilled...

Done. It is a well written survey with questions to calibrate off one another. Would like to see something similar related to: 1) different food/beverage impact on tinnitus vis-a-via type of tinnitus. 2) fasting (and different intervals of fasting) impact on tinnitus. A day without eating...

I just visited as a new patient a dentist with a Biolase WaterLase laser. It was for new patient cleaning and exam - no laser usage. However, he identified a new concern not heard from my prior dentist earlier this year that I need a metal filling replaced. He says that while the WaterLase...

Wow. You are at about 19 weeks (if I'm counting weeks right) and your T volume is 10 on 10? And you are not new to T... your profile says you've had it since April 2011. I'm concerned about conventional drills to hear that a 6 year T veteran reports 10/10 after 19 weeks of conventional drill work.

Hi Greg - How are you doing now? You said you still had a spike after 5 weeks of a "little drilling" but "Most of the time a laser was used."?

Yes. To minimize confusion, I had it demonstrated in front of me. Not used on me. Still though it was remarkably quiet.

Bill - Well said and true on both accounts. I had what appeared to be new electric and air-powered drill turned on for me -- very, very quiet compared to Dremel-like sound of the drill used recently on me.

Sad news... My near 3 day reduction to 2/10 T last week stopped and I'm back to 8/10 14khz baseline T. This is all occurring during round 2 of 60mg/14 day tapering of Prednisone. Worst yet, today I spoke with a highly qualified/experienced dentist who is peer reviewer and comes highly...

Update: Looks like my original post was pre-mature and too optimistic. Day 68-72: No change... back to old 14khz 8/10 baseline. I'm in the middle of my second round of 60mg/14 tapering Prednisone treatment. I don't know why I saw a reduction to 2/10 on Day 60-62 -- I stopped keeping...

Hi @NimQ, Thanks for thinking of me! I have a POSITIVE update to report regarding my tea-kettle loud T resulting from dental work (crown install)! I'm seeing a reduction in my 14 khz T down to 2-3/10 and a 3/10 400hz T!!!! :D Here are my details and tentative success with Prednisone in my...

Perhaps this will help or encourage a future reader who is experiencing deafening tea kettle 14khz T at 8-9/10 for the first time in their life. Warning: My encouraging results could still be premature. I'm finding some partial and tentative success taking Prednisone 60 mg/day tapering off...

In the Chicago and outlying suburbs of 9.4 million people, I'm finding there are: relatively few dentists with lasers that do soft tissue (periodontal gum disease), and even fewer dentists with the type of lasers for both soft tissue (periodontal gum disease) and hard tissue (cavities, crowns...

Back to Top -- Any more T-sufferers first hand accounts of Laser dentistry? (cavities/fillings, crowns, root canals, etc.)? Especially would like to learn: 1) If the laser is quieter. 2) Sound & loudness experienced if laser also used in place of local injections to numb the nerves...

I had a crown put in. The dentist drilled and drilled and drilled... Not 5 sec on and 10 sec off. I didn't have T before, now I have chronic T at 8/10 baseline. It hasn't gotten better... But it has had occasional spikes due to restaurant pizza, beer, wine, chocolate, processed meats, etc...

I got 14 kHz T at 8/10 from dental work 6weeks ago. Predisone at day approximate 18 didn't help... But try anyway so you don't have regrets later. Sorry to hear yet another sufferer like myself from dentist.

Hi All - There are two very similar Source Naturals "GABA Calm" that are easily confused (at least I was confused): A) "GABA Calm Mind" and B) "GABA Calm" (which I think is what @Nate Croteau is using) A. GABA CALM Mind (very low GABA and not what I believe the author is using): B. GABA CALM...

@Steve - Thanks for posting this hypothesis on exercises reduction of cortisol which temporarily reduces T -- I've had a similar hypothesis on exercise or fasting's effect on reducing insulin which temporarily reduces T. I do notice that when working outside all day in the backyard (i.e...

@Nate Croteau Thanks for signing up at TT to share your success with GABA Calm Mind supplement. You like me have sound induced (acoustic trama) T and for about the same length of time since onset (30 days vs 40 days). Is yours 24/7? How intrusive is it on a scale of 1-10? (1-hear it only...

Don't feel that you are not alone in your questioning -- your questions are as old as mankind. Also, I can appreciate that you don't want to "start a religious debate", but the answers you are seeking do in fact solely depend on which religion ("religious framework" or "faith framework") you...

Do you still use a riding lawn mower? I downloaded an app which says mine at ear level is 87 dB. I realize that the apps/phones have percision problems, but am hoping that 87 dB is directionally correct. If you are still using a riding lawn mower, what is your dB when cutting grass?

If I recall correctly, the ATA recommendation for dental drilling is 5 seconds on, 10 seconds off.

Anyone have experience with either of these? I'm especially interested if any NON-diabetics with T have tried these. Alpha-glucosidase inhibitors &/or Sodium-Glucose Transporter-2 Inhibitors? I noticed that T grows loud after eating (even after low carb/low sugar meals) and I wonder if I...

Thanks for posting Rick. What was name of the prescription ear drops? My ENT mentioned something about ear drops too.

Searching TinnitusTalk shows that this has come up in the past but may be not quite like this. If true, I wonder if trigeminal nerve damage can repair itself. My short version question/hypothesis: Dental work damage to nerves can cause T because both the auditory and facial (gum) nerves share...

Tinnitus resolved? Intravenous prednisolone, intratympanic dexamethasone, and oral betahistine and trimetazidine My tinnitus started 12 days ago after dental work 19 days ago. I stumbled upon this and it is too similar to my experience. Except this treatment was done 4 days after onset and...

Anyone else with a longer term update on HBOT? Please?

I'm only 2 weeks into T. My T is an 8/10 all the time. So loud it competes in conversations. My sleep wasn't always good, but now it is consistently worse/bad. But I am getting sleep (but not deep sleep). I'm doing a combination of what @linearb and @Lorenzo74 do which is what I used to do...

Hi, I'm new to T due to acoustic trauma (dentist drill). Very loud 12khz in my head. Can't sleep nor concentrate. I don't think I have hearing loss (not more than before.. it seems acceptable). I have an ENT appt for next Tues, 4 April. Please, Will you help me identify in this short time...

Thanks for the reply. Not sure I'm intermittent. I suspect my twice 1 day remission/near remission was due to fasting which means my body was relying on blood sugar from body fat (which doesn't require insulin) in lieu of sugar/insullin from food. Am I learning correctly that avoiding carbs...

@mick1987 - Thank you so much for posting your original post and then your follow-up post 5 months later. Your original post mirrors my experience.... dental drill for a crown at 30 seconds at a time (not 5 seconds then 10 seconds off). Then approx 7 days later... i get the "plugged ear"...

Hi all, FWIW, there might be something to fasting that minimizes T loudness. But, I'm only 8 days new to the T-world of a aloud 12kHz screeching sound arising from a dentist drill a week earlier. Day 3: I was so stressed out from it, I hardly ate. Day 4: No noticable T symptoms. Hooray! I'm out...
