Hi, I’m due for Shingles jab / shot next week, but I read that the vaccine contains Neomycin, albeit only a small amount or so they say... I'm really not sure whether to go ahead with it as Neomycin is listed as ototoxic... Any help or advice really appreciated... Thank you.

Ive. Had several visits to this guy .. He's a very nice fella and the treatment was very relaxing.. But sadly did nothing to alleviate my Tinnitus..

Oh yes my Tinnitus was definitely caused by misdiagnosed Hypothyroidism.. Went on for months untill i saw another Doctor who re checked my blood tests .. By then it was too late and my body was in melt down.. Very loud tinnitus started one morning when i woke up .. I take 225 mg of Levothyroxine..

SGal .. I wake every morning around 5 am and have to get up .. No way i can lie there listening to an F 18 flying through my head.. It's a way of life now for me.. I make a cuppa tea and put the world news on.. Klonopin is bad news stuff.. Bin there and done that...

Kitty.. IM so sorry to hear of your bad experience with this uncaring person .. I had the same as you... this ENT was fobbing me off in typically uncaring manner.. So i stood up and said to him .. ' Your wasting my Fuc#### time .. His mouth dropped open and i walked out .. Of course he reported...

Hey Andrew..am sorry your having a hard time right now.. The Lexapro should help very soon hopefully.. What's the name of the antibiotic you were taking.. antibiotics with a name ending in ( Mycin ) should be avoided.. i hear you have had the odd shower in Central Queensland.. I have a friend...

Emil wrote ( partly ) If this is right sleeping without masking would be a bad idea as our brain would get used to hearing the T all the time. I'm thinking that if i sleep without any masking sounds, my ear/brain would get some rest, as the ear would not get any stimulus? :) Emil i used a sound...

SP the offending post was removed only because you complained .. Its called embarrassment.. 4000 Bucks for a course of treatment that will NOT cure tinnitus.. next patient please..

So that's TRT. @ 4000 Bucks and Neuromonics @6000 Bucks ... What an insult to a desperate suffer esp as at the end of both courses the patient will Still have damn Tinnitus..

Neenie wrote... yep your right Neenie its rubbish.. That's exactly what i found and 2 other friends.. So take it back and demand a refund.. Its a hyped up MP3 player.. Along with their hyped up advirtising and testimonies.. Micky

Demi .. You have to be very careful with Anti Depressants as some of them can increase tinnitus symptoms for a few weeks.. This happened to me with this drug ..no 2 people react the same and it may well be fine for you..but im just saying...

excellent post from Billie.. And worthy of another read .. However i really do think that some folk are stronger in character and are able to cope easier with what life throws at them.. Other folk have weaker personalitys and find it a lot harder to cope .. They get stressed easier and are...

Hey @just1morething ... That's a very interesting link, thanks... Sometimes tinnitus can become exacerbated by ETD and that particular device I'm pretty sure would be of value... We need something like that for tinnitus... So simple really...

city girl wrote.. It feels like when you forget about it, it rears it's ugly head and reminds you it's here. exactly how i see it ..sort of punishes us.. CG .. I would not recommend you take anti depresants.. Ive been there and done that..ohh no. Micky

What is it with this 48 hour.. Nonsense.. What the hells going on inside our heads .. I think the brain actually begins to miss hearing the tinnitus signal and goes hunting for it ..then when it finds it... Turns up the gain .. Thanks a bunch brain ..

Yes and very expensive for a product that will not cure tinnitus.. Just another expensive product aimed at Tinnitus sufferers who are desperate for help..

Kevin maybe because you have more sounds entering your ears that your tinnitus has become a little reactive.. And competing with the extra input .. .. Ive heard that it takes at least a month to get used to digital aids .. I would say that you will be fine... Very slowely your ears will adjust...

Lisa i agree with you.. I found it impossible to hear that quiet Audiogram tones ..because my bloody tinnitus was so loud and masking out the tones .. Its virtually impossible to have a 100% perfect reading if your tinnitus is super loud.. Micky

T sucks . I don't think its a good idea to moniter your tinnitus like you are.. Just keeps it in your thoughts too much ..you need to treat it with contempt and get on with your life as best you can ..just my thoughts.. Micky

Saif a guy i know.. He's just 24 .. And had tinnitus from a loud night club just a month ago.. He's struggling with it right now.. In your life time and not too far off..there Will be a cure mate.. If that makes you feel a little better.. Keep positive and you will be fine.. Micky

Saif wrote After we die, we must have a VIP tickets for heaven. hehe how do you know Saif your going up there.. And if you do ... Will ya still have this damn shite. ?? who knows eh ..

Hi JD. When i first had tinnitus it felt as if the sound was right on top of my head centralized.. And other times it felt as if it were actually outside my head but still Central.. It sure is peculiar.. After some months it did eventually move to the left side and was indisputable .. I would...

Hey Lisa .. I was the same as you with reactive tinnitus but over time it slowly healed itself .. And yours will too.. I think its your brain on high alert .. My tinnitus would increase in volume until it was louder than the noises that caused it to react .. But gradually with time it stopped...

Robb .. I think it all depends on the volume of ones tinnitus.. If you have low volume tinnitus.. You will habituate ( get used to it ) very fast maybe weeks or months.. On the other hand if you have severe debilitating tinnitus and you are a natural worry'er and easily stressed then the chances...

Here's something else to think about whilst we are are having a silly half hour.. If a tree falls in a forest and no one is around to hear it, does it make a sound?"

If im not here.. Im somewhere else

sounds to me like 'Explosive Head Syndrome ' i had this for a couple of years whilst i was taking Benzo's. Not nice and really quite scary ..

Also Suzanna Reid .. News presenter on the BBC 1 channel early mornings has tinnitus brought on by a difficult labour .. In an article i read she said she misses her silence.. Micky

Hey Tara i used an oasis bed side sound machine with an under pillow speaker.. was an amazing device and got me through the most difficult years.. It plays several sounds .. I used the sound of the wind whistling and blowing. . Another one was water trickling etc etc ..if you do order one of...

yep know how you feel.. I keep the car windows shut tight.. Since a motor bike roared past me last summer and hurt my ear .. I dive into the nearest shop when i hear Police or Ambulance coming.. Or if i cant do that i plug my ears with fingers.. Ya have to be on your guard all the time.. Micky

Lisa wrote... Lisa .. Yes it was the Sanctuary unit.. But was custom tailored to my hearing loss and tinnitus volume.. I did have some therapy.. But to be honest the counciling often made me feel worse.. The Oasis is virtually the same but more streamlined and a nicer looking unit.. As far as...

Hiya Lisa .. I do have high frequency hearing loss but other than that i have pretty good hearing thankfully.. I don't have multi tones either.. But i do have a constant high pitched Shhhhhhhhh.. Exactly the same as a white noise generator.. Neuromonics is not a cure in any way .. It may lessen...

lady Diana wrote.. Partly.. Hi Lady Diana.. I kept using the processor for the 3 years simply because i didn't see the point of throwing it in the bottom drawer just because it had not led up to my expectations.. It did cost an awful lot of money and i suppose i wanted my monies worth .. so i...

Hi Luisa .. Ive had exactly The loud humming noises you describe .. The first time it stayed for several months maybe 2 or 3 .. I can't quite remember and then one day it just faded away to nothing .. Naturally i was over the moon but then after a few weeks it came back just as loud humming and...

I used the player for 3 years.. Around 40 hours every week.. Made no difference to my Tinnitus either way..

I too have these damn cycles.. Ive never experienced more than 48 hours of reduced volume.. It's like my brain is programmed.. Trouble is after the 48 hours has elapsed it goes through the roof and becomes debilitating for several days.. I feel like it's punishing me for the quiet ish few days...

You know what they say about men with Tinnitus, dont you?" :whistle::dunno:Is it that they all have big feet

Hi Lisa .. Neuromonics didn't work for me.. Nor did it work for 2 friends of mine.. Don't waste your hard earned cash ..buy yourself an i pod or mp3 player.. Download some digitally enhanced Tinnitus music or nature sounds off the internet .. Job done !! Don't be taken in by their fancy talk...

wow an amazing motor car ..was this the model Steve McQueen drove in the film Bullet.. :)

If thats the case then... You should demand a discount. :p

:D:DGrace your so lucky to have Tinnitus that is low in volume.. I really wish i had your Tinnitus.. 1 mg of Klonopin is quite a lot in my opinion.. Maybe you should think about reducing the slowly over a period of weeks.. Yonkapin thanx for the intresting link on Benzos .. Some years ago now i...

Hi im quite sure a typical Tinnitus spike can last for several hours or several days .. 5 or 10 seconds is definitely not a spike... Micky

Hi Karen thanx for your reply..yes i was a complete mess.. My body was shutting down.. I could just about walk and was shivering all over even though it was summer.. Of course your tinnitus could be linked to your thyroid.. No doubt about it.. Sorry you have this pulsating tinnitus and ringing...

Hi all it was a misdiagnosed under active Thyroid that brought on my Tinnitus.. I was very very ill for months and months and had several blood tests.. Every time this idiotic so called quack doctor told me all was ok with all the tests .. Untill one day i was so poorly i went back to the...

Definitely not !! Put on some quiet music playing in the background and find yourself a hobby.. Nothing wrong with talking to yourself.. Lots of people do it.. I know i do .. Micky

would be so nice if that happened Grace but im not holding my breath..its been 15 years now

mine does exactly the same.. Its completely unfathomable.. Seems like the brain turns up the gain after a few quiet hours to make sure its properly hard wired .can drive ya nuts .

I had an eye infection 6 months ago now.. Left me with a huge floater in my right eye.. Ive seen an eye specialist and he said give it time and it will become absorbed back into the eye.. Well its still there so going to wait another 6 months then have it zapped by the Yag laser.. In London...
