    Accuracy of Hearing Test (Audiogram)?

    In 2019, a study was conducted on 106 tinnitus patients with a normal audiogram. It showed that if a more accurate hearing test (fine frequency step, 1/24 octave) were carried out, many more tinnitus patients would be diagnosed with hearing loss. → Missed hearing loss in tinnitus patients with...

    My Tinnitus Is 50% Gone Because of Nigella Sativa (Black Seed Oil)

    Very nice that you found something that helped you. But before everyone rushes to buy black seed oil, I just want to share that I tried it some years ago for a couple of months and it didn't do anything positive (or negative) for my tinnitus or hyperacusis.

    Suicidal

    It goes both ways. As someone with both very severe tinnitus and hyperacusis/noxacusis, I can attest that both things sucks big time in their own way, but if I could get rid of only one of them, I would choose the tinnitus without a doubt. I can deal with the pain and discomfort from noises much...

    N-Acetylcysteine (NAC)

    I have taken a lot of NAC in powder form. It doesn't taste good, but it's not a problem at all to get it down. Just rinse your mouth with some water afterwards to get the bad taste away.

    Fasting/Diet to Reduce Inflammation for Hyperacusis?

    I'm also water fasting right now to see if it helps my tinnitus, hyperacusis and a few other things. Probably not, but there is only one way to find out. 5 days is the goal, but don't know if I can make it that far, never done it before. Right now I have been fasting for 70.5 hours, so 1.5...

    Suicidal

    I do not encourage anyone to commit suicide, but it is clear that we all have a limit to how much torture we can endure. I would never use Pegasos or the like, too much stress involved (for me at least), unless you live nearby, but the method they use is without a doubt the most optimal and it...

    Yes I know, sorry. It was not my intention to offend you (don't know if I did).

    Suicidal

    Why tinnitus, hyperacusis and noxacusis keep getting worse for some of us? For no apparent reason, when a lot of people do see improvements. This torture is no life to live. I wish I was a vet and had easy access to reliable end of life medication. If I was an animal I would have been put down...

    Suicidal

    I'm in my early 30s and I do have two functioning legs, so technically I can leave my home, and I also do that when I have to go see my doctor or stuff like that. I can't go anywhere without hearing protection because of hyperacusis and noxacusis, unless I want ear pain and ear fullness for the...

    Suicidal

    Yes. I do have severe hyperacusis loudness and noxacusis, but I can handle that much better than my catastrophic tinnitus. I can't leave my home, can't work, can't really do any of the things I want to. I still hope for a breakthrough in the future, but right now not much to look forward to...

    Suicidal

    It will not, no need to try it. Sorry you are feeling this bad. I don't know for how long you have had this sound distortion. The only thing that has improved for me since it all started is my sound distortion. My tinnitus, hyperacusis and noxacusis on the other hand has deteriorated massively.

    Stock Market Chat

    Maybe we could make a thread in the Benefactors' Corner so that not everyone can see it? Unless they become a Benefactor themselves. I don't know if you would feel better about it that way. At least if other "outsiders" want to see your advice they will have to support Tinnitus Talk first. I...

    Vitamin Supplement (Nicotinamide Riboside) Successfully Prevents Noise-Induced Hearing Loss

    What brand names do you use? 6 month ago I took 125-250 nicotinamide Riboside everyday for 3 months or so and didn't feel any positive change in my tinnitus, but I'm ready to try again combined with Resveratrol.

    I Can Make My Ear Crackle

    No, sorry, I don't think it will go away on its own, but I still hope it will. I have asked an ENT doctor about it and he said that it is completely normal to hear crackling when you swallow. I then just don't understand why I did not hear it the first 30 years of my life before I got a really...

    Nortriptyline, for Help with Head Noise Caused by Benzo Withdrawal?

    I was on a low dose amitriptyline for several months and had crazy dry mouth in the beginning but that went away after a few month.

    I Invented a Sound That Knocked Out My Tinnitus

    What app is that? I have severe hyperacusis and find this too loud even on the lowest volume possible on my Android phone.

    I Invented a Sound That Knocked Out My Tinnitus

    Can't we just use any headphones that has the high frequencies? Or why is those specific ones from Koss better?

    Are Changes in Tinnitus This Early Common?

    I'm sorry, hope it gets better for you some day. My tinnitus is still changing a lot, not for the better though. I have so many different noises in my head, it's just crazy.

    I did not know Danny Boy personally, but I have spent many hours reading his informative posts here on Tinnitus Talk. It is very tragic. May he rest in peace.

    Poll: What Is Your Visual Snow and Tinnitus Like?

    I have pretty bad visual snow, both in dark and light surroundings. I used to have a mild version of visual snow but it has gotten a lot worse after tinnitus came along.

    I Can Make My Ear Crackle

    I don't know if it is normal or not. All i know is that I did not hear the noise the first 30 years of my life, but since a bad cold January this year I hear a crackling noise in my ears every time I swallow or when I flex a muscle in the throat.

    Are Changes in Tinnitus This Early Common?

    My tinnitus has changed a lot since the beginning 3,5 months ago. Started with a low hum in left ear that after a few days changed to higher frequency tonal EEE. Then the right ear started the low hum and soon after it changed to a tonal EEE. Then more and more tonal EEEs came along in both...

    Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy

    Thanks Mikko, that could be an option, even though I will have to fly. One of the problems is that I'm having a cold (for 5 weeks now, wtf?). It has gotten a lot better and I think I can pressure equalize my ears, even though they click every time I swallow, but I will be a bit sad to find out I...

    Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy

    I think I want to try hbot even though it might be a little too late (T now for two month). The problem is I live in Denmark and there is no possibility to get the treatment here. I have found places in Germany (e.g. Hamburg) where they do the treatment. Do any of you guys know if I will need a...
