I also switched to manual cleaning. I use to spike for a couple weeks with ultrasonic. Huge difference with manual cleaning. I've had 2 cavities filled and asked the dentist to do it a few seconds on and a few seconds off but also asked him to slow the rpms down. No spike.

I noticed a small but beneficial difference in my T taking a soloray B vitamin complex 50mg. I've experimented and noticed a difference between taking them and not taking them. I rate my t from 1 to 10. It fluctuates like a graph over the course of 4 days from low (4-5) to high (7-8) when not...

Be sure to get a MRI to rule out an acoustic neuroma. I also had a sudden hearing loss in my left ear and it slowly started coming back after 15 hours all distorted along with terrible tinnitus. It happened again (SHL) a year later though not quiet as bad but symptoms lasted a month , and that...

Hey @Starthrower , I see your one of the friendly faces here helping people down off the ledge.. I find reading as much as possible about the subject matter calms the worry usually , which in this case it did after reading it will be a watch and wait senario most likely. Stress can make things...

@Starthrower I'm educating myself so I'll b prepared when I go in. My first symptom was 16 months ago with a sudden hearing loss then very loud intrusive T when hearing came back next day. No facial numbness. Had more hearing dropouts this past may which got the ball rolling for an MRI. My T...

They wouldn't give me diagnosis till I had an MRI. ENT thought I had Meniere's. But the MRI has reveled a tumor behind my ear and touching the 8th cranial nerve. I go in for a consultation in two weeks. Not positive it's an acoustic neuroma yet till they tell me in 2 weeks, only informed...

Brenda Gander , I see you wrote viral infection as your cause. I seem to have cut my T in half by using Acyclovir 800 mg a day along with 6 lipo flavanoid a day , 400iu Vit E , 500mg Vit C , 1000iu Vit D. If you can't get access to acyclovir you can do L-lysine . Just saying what has recently...

Myrna , sounds very similar to meniere's. When my hearing drops down in volume it gets distorted with very little low end frequency. I use a radio and compare my ears by sticking a finger in one ear then the other. Other symptoms is sound sensitivity (hyperacusis) , mild dizziness or sometimes...

I've had a bad case of herpes for 35 years. 6 months before I had a sudden hearing loss in march 2017 I had a shingle show up on the left side of my face , same side as hearing loss . I doubled up on my acycolvir which got rid of the sore in a week but the nerves were sore for over a month...

Here's a Meniere's forum for tons of Info - http://menieres.org/talk/index.php I started here but was diagnosed with meniere's 2 days ago and have been sucking up information on the menere's forum. I had my initial attack in march 2017 with another in June that came with vertigo. Had 11 months...

Unfortunately I was diagnosed with meniere's today. The symptoms make sense now. I'm thankful I don't have it as bad as some people. It could always be worse is one of my motto's. One good thing that has come out of my last episode is my tinnitus pattern changed and I've been having more down...

My hyperacusis backed off but never completely went away. It's been very mild since it backed off and I am more than happy with that. My hyperacucsis has recently returned due to another moderate sudden hearing loss. I feel positive though that hyperacusis will back off as my ear gets better...

Mine slowly disappeared , took about 3 months.

I have found that digital reproduction really spikes my tinnitus. I find analog more soothing. This guy makes analog, true random, white and pink noise generators. I just bought one and waiting on it. You play it through powered speakers or stereo. If you have an EQ you could customize your...

Amazingly enough my T seems the same even though H has spiked. The first time with H my T was extreme. Audiologist says I have moderate hearing loss. I'm due to go back. I do listen to a sound machine at night. The rain noise sounds like white noise. I live on SS. TRT is out of my range. I...

hey Michael , I do teach acoustic guitar twice a week for a hour at a time. I sometimes have a small T spike afterwards that will last an hour or two sometimes. I also mow my yard but use earplugs and ear muffs at the same time. I'm very careful not to expose myself to loud noise. The acoustic...

My hyperacusis and chronic intrusive tinnitus started with a sudden hearing loss in left ear. I had tinnitus for many years prior but nothing like this. The hyperacusis the first time lasted 4 months and died down last July. Today I wake up and it started in on me and was full blown with a...

I started a B complex (solaray) last week. I had been doing only b-12. I also upped my flax seed oil (Solgar 1250mg) from 1 to 4 a day to try and improve my HDL. My fluctuation schedule use to be 2 high volume days then 1 low volume day. Over the past 8 days I've had 5 low volume days and 3...

I'm allergic to fish so I take flax seed oil. I just read up on it after reading your post so I'll up my intake of that. Seems like there's mostly guess work at this point coming from the Dr's... Doesn't surprise me though , when was the last time they cured anything ? I wish you well and...

My T also fluctuates. It's like a cycle of 36 to 48 hours each of high volume then low volume. It also peaks during the high volume cycle. If volume was 1 to 10 the peak is 8. The low days is 4. I have 2 tones .The high days is a 9500hz tone but disappears at the low cycle. The other tone is...

Anybody with moderate tinnitus have experience with flying? My tinnitus took a huge spike after a sudden hearing loss 6 months ago. It is a little better and I'm habituating slowly but surely , but concerned about flying. I fly once a year to Canada to see my sister. I see there are some...

hello fellow Tinnitus Talk patrons! Been around loud noise most of my life , 62 , and have had mild T for over 20 years. I'm a musician and after gigs my T would be high but always settle down by next day. I gave up the gigging life 12 years ago to help protect my hearing. I've been...
