Hey, from what I've read, even if Pramipexole helps, it'll stop helping after you no longer take it, right?

Good on you! Worst thing you can do is stress about it. Glad it went alright!

I haven't gone under any anesthesia since I got my tinnitus, however, from what I know, the only one that poses risks is the spinal anesthesia. I read posts of people going under general anesthesia and they were fine, no tinnitus increase.

Yes, very lucky not to be able to afford something just a hat's throw away.

I appreciate the reply! That kind of money sure would be an issue in these times for a glimmer of improvement. Shame, I got so excited when I found out they specialise in tinnitus and they're so close to me.

An update: I called them. They don't cover anything with a medical card so I'd have to dish out a fair amount but I'm extremely skeptical from all the replies here.

So this thread seems quite old, but active. I live in Ireland myself, and there is a Lenire place fairly close to me... I was planning to go there, however, after reading many of these comments, I'm a little terrified, not going to lie. The few people that it did help I'm happy for, however...

I went to a doctor about a month ago complaining about full ears, but had ear wax removed not so long ago, he prescribed me nose spray to drain my middle ear, after a month of using it I feel like my tinnitus has decreased in volume a bit, but whenever I go to sleep I still feel that there is...

Appreciate the suggestion, I'll look it up, i had sleeping problems since forever, brain won't stop thinking at night (:

Hey everyone, hope your day/night is going good. I was hoping for someone to give me advice on sleeping drugs, i always have trouble sleeping and tinnitus adds to it some nights. Is there any drugs that don't make you feel drowsy the next day? Thanks in advance for any suggestions!

Thank you i appreciate it, but you seem in more pain than me so i really hope it goes good for you. Best of luck!

Oh i see, yours seems worse than mine, i just can barely breathe trough my nose and feel a bit of pressure in the font on my face. Are you all okay now?

I used ear drops twice (sometimes 3 times if i remembered) a day for 10 days. I was only gonna do it for 5 days but i rather be safe than sorry, all went good, a little loud yeah..I was panicking but relaxed while it was beign done.

Why the sad face if they worked? Thought it'd be a relief, my nose has been blocked bad for the past few weeks too, I'm suspecting it's all connected :p

Yup, he used a camera in my ear after, no wax left.. I'm thinking of just going to an ENT specialist and let them have a look ^^

Thanks i appreciate that! I'll check it out

I was thinking that, anytime i yawn my ears pop, or when swallowing, is there anything a specialist could do to help? It might lower the sound of my T. Thanks for replying!

Hey everyone, hope your day is going good! Just yesterday I got my ears micro suctioned as I felt they were pretty full again (I have narrow ears, they always eventually get full) I didn't expect my tinnitus to go away after of course, but I did fear of making it louder, but nothing happened...

I hope it does too, it did for me (: Drink plenty of water and some vitamins, after beign sick it's what you need (:

Yes it's back to normal now, this was ages ago (: To be honest now that i look back at it chances are it seemed louder was because of my ears getting full of wax rather than antibiotics, a stuffy nose makes it worse too because it's all connected to the ears (hope I'm making sense) (:

I never heard of that, good to know, right now it's 3:45 pm 2 days after the party and still lower, how i check is i sit in a quiet room with just my Xbox on, i could always clearly hear my left T over it. It's still as quiet as it was yesterday. I hope it stays like it (:

I did care though, any time i went to the bathroom i was paranoid and tried to listen out for it , my T in right ear is the same as it was but the left definitely lowered. Im Also starting to think that ear wax may be the cause of my T, but at the same time i doubt it because my T started 2 days...

Me too (: it sounds crazy that it's lower but it happened..You never know it might go back to beign as loud as it was tomorrow, but it's still quiet :D if anything changes I'll post it here

You read that right and I'm very surprised myself. My friends invited me to a new year's party just yesterday, their first plan was a nightclub but I said that it's way too loud for me..They understood and decided we can stay at home and just drink there. But even at that they still played...

@Bill Bauer we can argue all night about this, but reality is we have different lifestyles, perceptions and goals.. and i dislike arguing, I'll just end it here and wish you a happy new year (:

If you say that getting the money is the most important thing, you will spend your life completely wasting your time. You'll be doing things you don't like doing in order to go on living. That is, to go on doing things you don't like doing. Which is stupid. Better to have a short life that...

Not the kind of life id want, i see your point..I also think how you grew up plays a big part of it too.

had that way of thinking all my life, money never gave me happiness, i doubt it'll ever will, sure it can buy things and take you places but I'm happy where i am and what I'm doing. Having loads of money means doing something you don't like in order to keep on living.. Yeah you'll end up...

If i were you I'd go, the last party i was at i just asked them could they turn it down when it was too loud (: can't do that in a public place im afraid :D

I really admire you... Tinnitus sure is hell for newbies, but it really does get easier as time goes.

I just wanna say the past few months i have been looking after my mother who has cataracts (will have a surgery in January, I'm happy for her) while my father is in hospital from a broken leg after a work accident. I just hope you don't think that I'm some brat who wants to party all the time...

I'm pretty much used to my tinnitus... I'm at the point where I can go to bed, hear nothing but my tinnitus and still fall asleep easy enough... but the worst part is saying no to friends who invited you to a party at a nightclub to celebrate new years. Guess it'll be a lonely new years :) hope...

Good to hear, i did doubt it'll work for acoustic traumas but hey, it's worth a try. I might try it myself (:

Hey If you do it try it, would you mind tagging me once you find out if it works or not? I'd really appreciate it. I'm under a ton of stress this Christmas but it hasn't affected my T so im glad.. Hope your Christmas went well.

Wait, your t almost disappeared? Was it after a loud concert or acoustic trauma too?

Hey sorry for the late reply, my t only started reacting after my ears got full of wax.. That could be the problem, I'll get that sorted after the new year (: So how long did you have t, how loud was it and how did you get it? I'm glad you're here even after recovery man, you're giving everyone...

I understand what you mean fully.... But that's simply not a great life.. I'm pretty much used to my T after 4 months but I'm sick of using ear plugs whenever in outside or in a car/train... A friend of mine has T he's a good bit older than me.... Attends pubs fairly often... No earplugs...

Same here, wear them outside usually, unless I'm out the back chopping wood for a fire as that is pretty loud (: My T is kinda acting strange lately, buy more in a good way, for example there were 2 nights this week where the left T fades to about 80%, so quiet i could ignore it with ease, right...

Recovered fully, you see I've noticed some success stories that involve people that didn't do anything special for it to go away, when i see that i wonder did they use earplugs or not. I guess it just makes me feel odd that when I'm in the city or a pub (On a quiet night for a few drinks with...

Question, to those who know people that have recovered, have they used earplugs daily? While going to the city or at work etc. Or have they just forgot about T that much that they didn't? I have a feeling sometimes that i use earplugs where unnecessary.

So.. If i got my T from a rave with loud music, i have higher chances? I too hear it it silent environments, there are nights where the left T fades a lot, some nights stays the same, hopefully i recover , if not it's all good I'm getting used to it after 4 months. But what worries me a little...

Just a while ago I discovered this when I was going to bed, when I yawn I usually pop my ears, and noticed that it makes the left ear's tinnitus much more quiet, however it makes my right ear's tinnitus louder... Any idea why this could be? And how does this affect your tinnitus? If it affects...

Once again, i cant be more thankful for your help.

Hey @Bill Bauer a quick update, it's definitely cataracts.. I asked my mother's doctor and called the hospital to make sure, i wasn't with her my dad was and she doesn't speak much English.. Anyways i guess that puts my mind at ease now.. But the waiting will continue unfortunately.

@Bill Bauer i quickly looked up cataracts and the images look exactly like her eyes now, almost as if there was a heavy mist in the black part of her eyes, thank you so much for your help, I'll search for an eye doctor or someone that can help, even just to reassure me that there is no need to...

A quick search on Google and i found this.. MORE THAN 6,000 people in Ireland have been waiting more than a year to either see a consultant or have surgery to restore their eyesight. Figures released to TD Denis Naughten indicate 2,558 people have been waiting over 12 months to have a...

I really appreciate the support and help here, it means a lot to me.

Thank you @Bobbie7 calling the hospital here is a nightmare , i called many times leaving my name and number and did not get a call back, i guess I'll just travel to the hospital myself.. It's a joke really :/ it's killing me seeing her like this. And @Bill Bauer yes, not sure the exact name...

My tinnitus is the least if my worry right now, my mother got white in her eyes about 8 months ago, she went straight to the doctor and told him about, he said she'll get an appointment to the hospital to get it removed? However he said it will take a long while for whatever reason. It's been...

Wow our usernames are so similar :D

Appreciate that thank you, I'm spending a fortune on buses lately.. they're so expensive here. Anyways I'll definitely do that next time I'm in town, thanks a lot!

I'm looking at every place around different cities and it's all micro suction... Everywhere.. I'll take their numbers down and ask for manual.. but honestly I'm fairly pessimistic about this.

I'd love to, but since i had to sell my motorcycle it's a little hard around here.. We have a really dumb bus system, I've spent the day looking in the city closest to me. Guess I'll just keep looking.

Everything was looking up i started to slowly get used to my T and it just feels like it's all going downhill again.. 4:30am and if i type in "Micro suction tinnitus" all i get is horror stories ..

Hey all, I've been to the city today to ask around about ear wax removal as I was hoping manual removal would be possible, but unfortunately all the places I've been to only do microsuction... And from what I heard it can make tinnitus much worse or better... and naturally I think of the...

Sounds fake.. But i believe that there is a cure that no one has found out yet.. could be simple, it could even sound stupid but could work.. kinda like your idea with the zapper @Bill Bauer :D i Probably wouldn't try it lol. And while I'm here, my father is a welder, and he worked a lot of his...

Hey there, i read your whole story and i find it odd too.. You weren't exposed to any loud sounds? I got my T from a rave so i clearly know that's what caused it, but yours is odd.

Haha.. I have no degrees, no job..Live on welfare and struggling to find a job..And because of T i had to sell my motorcycle.. now i have no way to drive to places other than a bus... Which where i live they have a very dumb system.. 2 buses from my town to the city.. i struggled to even buy and...

If you'd see me the first week i got my T.. I was like a sick dog staring at nothing with so many negative thoughts.. Felt like my life just got wasted, but no, time truly helps.. When you get your T and it's new, your brain doesn't know what to think and that's why you panic, it takes time to...

Same here ! I've said this before but tinnitus should be far more talked about in schools or other places, like you i didn't even know it existed.
