You should consult an attorney. That sounds like a medical fuckup.

It might just be natural healing. Tinnitus tends to go down in the 2-6 month quite substantially in a lot of people as your body heals and re-wires. However if you are improving and you think it might be due to the supplements by all means keep it up.

Basically the screen is black and it lights up with him waking and the tone starts and he's staring at his fan, and he talks to his wife and tries to go about his daily activities and at night he tosses an turns while staring at his ceiling fan. Anyone know where this video is? It was great...

A lot of people that suffer a single event acoustic trauma recover a lot but it can take 2 years. Just live a healthy life and hopefully you body will heal. A lot of people like you have no improvement for months and then lots of improvement from 6 months to 2 years. For some reason ears...

I always tell people here that massage therapists and physiotherapists use a lot more proven scientific things, but chiropractory doesn't have much science backing it up and be wary and is bordering on quackery. Someone I knew's GF had a stroke after a session and got a 50-100k settlement...

Funny that you say that. Talk Radio is my trance. The deep bassy voices, the conversation topics distract me, and the hiss and crackle of the radio mimics my tinnitus a bit so I can almost convince myself the noise in my brain is actually the radio (I occasionally turn off the radio to double...

In January I was an 80% for a couple weeks (loudness of 7 or 8 out of 10). Sound got quieter and then it was like 20% for a few months (goes between 4-6/10). Nowadays not sure if I habituated or it got quieter, I think my brain is just tuning it out. (I think I'm consistently at like a...

Lidocaine but it's short acting and chronic use causes health problems so no doctor will prescribe it.

You should take NAC and Magnesium every day permanently if you are so sensitive to spikes. They might be able to prevent an increase in tinnitus. I say this because when they give them to soldiers and club goers before loud events it prevents hearing damage. No guarantees though but they are...

No, I don't think mine is related to the neck but who knows. I was just getting some pain but with some stretches and exercises and a bit of massage and adjusting the height of my computer screen (it was a bit too low) it went away in a couple weeks. Try a physio if you aren't satisfied with...

What has a regular doctor and physiotherapist said? Chiros are notoriously dubious. I am worried you are getting scammed. They don't have legit medical credentials. The fact he signed you up for a 33 session play for big bucks while you are vulnerable should set off your Bullshit meter. A...

Well you better get used to it it's the only way to get rid of tinnitus apparently ;).

1000mg a day for 7-14 days. Take it with food if it upsets your stomach.

You should consult a medical malpractice lawyer. You have a lot of documentation. Even these posts can be used as evidence. You might be able to find one that will take your case for free but they get 30% of the winnings. My friend had a case for something else and they took it on commission...

Fine lamb, talapia, and pheasant of course!

Don't go to a chiropractor, that is one step above pseudoscience. Check out this thread on reddit. A guy had neck problems as well and they figured his tight neck muscles were compressing his nerve pathways near his ear so he went to a physiotherapist who are actually trained in science-based...

What has the doctor recommended for treat ETD? I know sometimes if it's from allergies they give allergy meds, they can give steroidal nasal spray. Also I believe I have heard you breathe in steam, like boil a pot of water, take it off the element, wrap a towel around your head, and lean of the...

I suspect it is like how American Football players, Hockey players, Boxers, etc. get CTE and post concussion syndrome from head hits, tinnitus forms from too many ear hits. Every concert, gun shot, firecracker somehow messes the brain and after dozens and hundreds of events (or a handful or even...

Be very careful. A lot of us had it go down or disapear and think we are invincible then go to a concert that is "not that loud" or "it's outdoor and I'll stand at the back" or shoot guns again and it comes back. You are permanently susceptible. Make it a habit to keep a pair of ear plug in your...

Why did you get the grommets inserted?

I've only done this a couple times but when I put my head under water I swear it went near silent. Mine is not too bad though so I don't know if it is some sort of ambient water noise drowns it out of if it is some sort of pressure effect.

You gotta make sure you wear ear plugs. I chanced it several times going to places louder than I should have. Every time you roll the dice, it might not make it perceptibly worse many times then one time something is louder than the other time, or each time it gets 1% worse you don't really...

Yeah then don't go back to the chiro. Try going to a physio therapist.

Sensitive teeth can often be from grinding and clenching of teeth. Grinding can cause TMJ and tension in jaw which can be a factor in tinnitus.

You need to go to a doctor ASAP. There are many causes or issues that might be going on. Some could be as simple as getting some compacted ear wax removed or a dead spider in your ear but the sooner you go the sooner you'll get answers and the less likely chance your ears get permanent...

I'm a huge believer in physiotherapy for skeleto-muscular issues. You need to build up the muscles around your injuries to get them better. I've had a bunch of sports injuries and physiotherapy has been a godsend. Also massage therapy to go along but not as the sole option. My massage therapist...

I'll beat you over the head until your headache disappears. It's foolproof!

Any update? I did shrooms 10 or so times when I was 18-24 years old maybe I'll be a guinea pig. It's a bit frightening because I did have 2 partially bad trips but a bad trip is just bad for 2 hours, tinnitus is bad for life lol. Best time to do them is camping or if you have secluded parks...

Try everything you can before going on drugs. Do the sleep study, get blood work, try maskers. Long term drug use can make the T worse so make sure nothing else can be wrong. Who knows you can have sleep apnea or something. Not everyone is overweight who gets it. Some people have misshapen jaws...

You really should just put them in the second the music starts. Humans aren't very good at judging how loud is too loud and damaged ears have a lower tolerance I reckon. Your spike will most likely go down if you barely had them out. Go grab some N-acetyl cisteine and magnesium from a supplement...

My theory for my situation is the analogy of a football player with too many head hits. They develop CTE from the many concussions. In my case the 40-50 concerts and +100 movies I've been to. Each one is like a concussion. You can have a couple concussions and recover. But eventually after...

Wasn't the Exchange Floor loud? All the people yelling and the bells ringing. At least it seems very loud in the movies and TV shows I've seen it on. Not that it matters too much at this point but I think there's a good chance your tinnitus caused by the incessant noise. Especially if you worked...

Chew gum on landing and takeoff to equalize the pressure in your ears just in case you have a bit of Eustachian Tube Disfunction and the pressure change is messing with your ears. Chewing gum keeps your ear holes opening so pressure doesn't build up.

N-Acetyl Cisteine (NAC) has been scientifically proven to prevent damage in soldier and club goers exposed to gunfire and loud music. Go get some ASAP, they are sold in nutrition/supplement stores and take 1000mg per day.

Hey it says on your sidebar that you've had tinnitus since 2016 but you say in the post you've had it since 2016. Could you please clarify. Also how long have you been wearing the earplugs 24/7?

A few more questions: What is your standard appointment with the chiropractor like? Does he do a lot of manipulation? Does he do any massage? or give you any exercises? Do you take any nerve health supplements? If you are wearing your heat pads for too long, that can actually be a problem...

Well lets see what the answers to all the questions are before we start trying to put together this puzzle. But I do know for myself I have a couple of chronic injuries (achilles tendon, wrist) and if I stay on top of them with activity and stretching they are fine but if I start getting lazy...

Hello Bam. I am sorry to hear you are suffering so much. I have a few questions and then maybe we can see if all possibilities and treatments have been considered. I know the docs just assumed my tinnitus was from concerts and didn't probe anything else even though I had decade of jaw problems...

Nothing is guaranteed safe 100% but it will definitely make you safer. Make sure your musicians ear plugs are at least -20db. A guy on this site went to a concert with -11db plugs and made his worse because it doesn't reduce it enough to not damage. -20db should at least get you into the 80s DB...

I got very mild tinnitus for 5 years at age 27. I went to on average 4 concerts per year and 8 movies a year for 10 years since 18. Other than that not much loud things. Bar infrequently, and listened to music at reasonable volume. Anyways it was very mild, sometimes didn't notice it for days...

Cool. I have a similar story to you. I got very mild tinnitus for 5 years at age 27. I went to on average 4 concerts per year and 8 movies a year. Other than that not much loud things. Bar infrequently, and listened to music at reasonable volume. Anyways it was very mild, sometimes didn't notice...

The plugs you used only are -11 DB. You need at least -20DB. Also have you tried takng finestride again?

Yeah I assume it wraps up this year. I believe the theory is that if TMJ disorder is causing your tinnitus, you get jaw physio and massage to loosen the muscles. Because for some reason the muscle tension and misalignment is putting pressure on the ear and the ear nerves. So the theory is if you...

He probably irritated or hurt your ear. Was the sprayer just loud or pressure?

Aspirin is an anti-inflammatory. It could be reducing inflammation in your jaw joint which is causing some or all of the tinnitus you experience. Try and work on your TMJD and see if you can get it better, it might make you tinnitus fade.

At least switch to vaping ASAP then try and quit the nicotine. Burning plant matter is horrible your hold head system.

I sleep with talk radio on because it tricks my brain into thinking it is the hissing and ringing of AM radio. I also have a fan. Between those two my mild/moderate T is decently masked. My ear on my pillow is sometimes a bit ringy though. And if I happen to have a bad night for some reason I...

Yup, I actually love it when I can't tell. I sleep with talk radio on because it tricks my brain into thinking it is the hissing and ringing of AM radio. I also have a fan. Between those two my mild/moderate T is decently masked. My ear on my pillow is sometimes a bit ringy though. And if I...

If you look at the THI questionaire, you answer the questionnaire and there is a formula at the bottom to calculate your score.

To distill this to the important info for anyone visiting the thread. Placebo group had 61 people, the Sulodexide group had 63 people. They took the drug or placebo for 40 days morning and night. The placebo group's Tinnitus Handicap Inventory (THI) went from 41.3 to 40.5, or basically no...
