He does have tinnitus .. He mentioned it on a Howard Stern interview.. http://hardrockhub.com/2016/03/08/brian-johnson-i-got-hearing-loss-from-racing-not-rocking/

Daisjc - if you just got T at the end of December your ears may recover normally without spending a ton of money on hearing aids. You have no hearing loss so within 3 months you may be totally fine.. I have had T for 1 1/2 years so I think mine is here to stay and i do not use white noise...

My question is when should you do TRT? Does it make a different if you wait a couple of years to try to habituation or the early the better?

I can confirm that Dr. Naglar does not push TRT on any patient that does not need it.. I saw Dr. Naglar almost a year ago after a flight caused severe barotrauma in both ears and left me with tinnitus as an afterthought that never stopped. I was depressed.. It was the worse Christmas I ever had...

Jay, That is a great idea but that type of draft letter should go to the ATA to distribute. They will have a larger impact than this forum alone.. ATA should recruit a spokesperson such as a retired general with political contacts to lobby for additional funding for the cause. If the general...

So just to clarify.. For me I have hearing loss at high frequency as well. Of course the ringing in my ear I can hear perfectly fine so when the audiologist sends the tone it is the same as my ring. My ENT said that hearing aids will provide relief for the T since the aid will amplify only the...

I cannot see how shining a red light that stops at your ear drum help... Someone bought it on Amazon and was not impressed. http://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B008PDCS36/?tag=tinntalk-21

@Karen .. Thanks so much for this.. I bought Beet Root today before I saw this message.. Your right on a lifestyle change. I have been bouncing back and forth but need to stick to a clean way of life. I copied your post to my notepad and will be my roadmap.

Looks like Beet Root can help.. Just doing research and looking at the reviews.

@Denny, thanks for the advice. I tend to agree. I am not on it constantly but probably should . Love to know what would work without Lisinopril..

@Karen .. What natural blood pressure remedies are you using.. I have moderate BP .. around 135/95 before getting on Lisinopril 10mg a day.. With the drug I am at 120/80.. but I do have increase ringing..

No.. I said I do not personally believe in that statement from Dr. Naglar in context but I understand why he is saying this. I asked him that same question in person and he detailed his personal belief with the "I do not care" statement with an understanding of why. People can be obsessed with...

Same person.. yes.. I personally do not believe that statement or what context that statement is.. His personal believe in coping is TRT and "I don't care" method. It's more of trying to not to let the mind get in the way of your life and it works for him. Cure is a word with a lot of...

Totally understand what you are saying Jazz and your right, officers do not have large salaries but the monies are suppose to go to research grants.. It is kind of a catch-22. If you want to have an Executive Director with a lot of influence, connections with high profile sponsors and Congress...

I have been on non-profit boards in the past without any compensation outside of the occasional expense of face to face board meetings. Looking at ATA and their annual reports and audits I do not see anything wrong with what they are doing as a not for profit organization to support our mission...

I have not heard that method working on anyone.. It's been around for awhile..

Received this as an ATA member today in my email.. ___ The American Tinnitus Association (ATA) would like to inform you of a clinical research study being conducted by Jay Piccirillo, MD at the Washington University in St. Louis. This study can be completed remotely through a smartphone and...

Hey Rob, Love to hear the result.. I have T in the high frequency range and I tried the General Fuzz site and match it to my tone. I could not hear it but my wife sure did! I did not try it for any length of time because I wanted to see if it actually helped versus harmed the T.

I got T from barotrauma as well from a flight with a bad cold.

I have tinnitus at high frequencies awhile now.. It really hit me on a flight back home with a cold. Fluid pressure build up in both ears and it took almost 8 weeks to drain.. The ringing never stopped since then. I personally think noise induced or trauma from a cold is identical but just...

The wording is unclear. That final statement for the follow up state the no-drug group had a decrease of 12.75 DB. Is that total from the base or in addition to the previous decreases?

valeri, You have some really stupid ENTs out there. Jewell is right, we are all survivors and never should think this will last forever because it will not. Look where technology has gone in the past 5 years.. Everything it moving faster.

Simple and to the point. I agree with his thinking. This is not the worst thing in life. As a matter of fact, I need to apply as a weather man because my T can predict rain better than the Weather Channel. Storms are a brewing right now and coming to Georgia.. I hear it now!

I did the same thing on trying to find triggers.. It will just drive you crazy to do it... I thought about keeping a journal on it, once again a bad idea. I am pretty sure for me it give louder when rain comes my way. Well, unless I move to Nevada I cannot do anything about that.

If going to a Seattle Seahawks game does not cause tinnitus nothing will!

Here is a recent article from CNET on earplugs .. Its a good read.. http://www.cnet.com/news/shocker-the-most-deaf-musicians-arent-rockers/

Same thing happened to me in December 2013.. I went on a flight with a cold and on the decent my ears filled with fluid (a lot of it in both ears).. Conductive hearing loss followed then it took 4-5 weeks to clear. It was terrible.. The ringing was loud and I could not hear hardly at a lot...

I do not see what the value is to test on non-chronic patient (under a year of T).. The ear can take 5-6 months to recover naturally so how can a company tell what is natural and what is from the drug.

I have gotten this before a couple of times.. It will typically drain by itself. It all depends on your eustachian tubes opening up. If you have allergies or a cold and the sinuses are wet it will talk longer because the tubes are glued shut. Opening the tubes with antihistimes, Flonase and...

Mark, You are so right about GP and ENTs.. I am always amazed on how little they understand T.. I feel like I need to bill them to explain what it going on and how to treat it.

7 Erlend, You are going to be fine.. I was in your position not too long ago and sometimes all night googling makes things worse. What helped me it getting a behind the ear amplifier from Amazon for like $80.00. It takes the edge off and adds sound to dull the ringing intensity. Stress makes...

You have temporay conductive hearing loss which means your T is amplified because your hearing is impaired. The fluid is preventing the eardrum to vibrate and you have nothing really to drown the T sound out. After it drains it will get better.. I had a similar problem flying with a cold and...

I was reading about Ron Steenerson, his method seems to be throw everything at you to see if it works including drugs. Sounds like that can be costly and not really targeting a method of relief. The whole electrostimulation concept is interesting but like you said, not much to back it up.

I would agree that habituation is the way to go until a cure is truly found. I am trying to keep a diary of when it is worse versus manageable. It is a shame that insurance will not even touch a treatment for this but will for drug dependencies and birth control. It's there a way to do...

If you get fluid in your ears that can cause conductive hearing loss and increase the tinnitus in your ear. The Mucinex can thin the mucus to drain the fluid and improve the ears itself. I have not heard about Mucinex reducing T in other ways though..

I understand what you are saying and habituation is a really good alternative. It's just a matter of the best way to get there and what is the best method to do it. I have had T for 1 1/2 years and it seem to get worse after I got temporary conductive hearing loss from fluid in the ears during a...
