You're still young and have a good chance of recovery. Just make sure to protect your ears in the future when exposing them to loud noise. I'm curious, if I understand correctly, you didn't have tinnitus or hyperacusis before the shooting accident? Did they develop immediately after the...

Sound and electrical stimulus devices are not going to cure tinnitus or hyperacusis. However, for the first time in 20 years, I believe they are close to discovering the exact cause. If they succeed, it will likely take another 5 to 10 years to develop medications or gene therapy. Unless a...

Soon, they will discover that tinnitus and hyperacusis share the same cause: Imagine the OHCs as little amplifiers in your cochlea. Normally, they boost quiet sounds so you hear better. The MOC pathway acts like a sound engineer, keeping the volume in check. But if hearing loss happens (like in...

Interesting. This could explain mild hyperacusis in elderly individuals who don’t experience tinnitus. However, in my opinion, hearing loss due to noise trauma is a completely different issue.

Did he experience acoustic trauma or not? My father gradually became deaf while working as a carpenter, but he never experienced tinnitus or hyperacusis. I, however, did experience acoustic trauma. If the hypermobility of outer hair cells (OHCs) begins after trauma—similar to an increase in...

GROK (not a doctor, and neither am I):

Outer hair cells (OHCs) are more prone to damage than inner hair cells (IHCs). Since OHCs function as amplifiers and help filter sound, this may be why you’re experiencing these issues. I firmly believe that anyone with tinnitus also has some form of hyperacusis, though many people don’t notice...

The licorice component in YKS (Glycyrrhiza) can cause pseudoaldosteronism, leading to low potassium and high blood pressure. Since I take medication for blood pressure, I’ll need to monitor it closely.

Overexpression of prestin could increase outer hair cell (OHC) electromotility beyond normal levels, over-amplifying mechanical vibrations on the basilar membrane. This might overwhelm inner hair cells (IHCs) and the auditory nerve with excessive input, leading to spontaneous or aberrant neural...

Again, this is a cochlear issue—likely a sensory imbalance between inner hair cells (IHCs) and outer hair cells (OHCs), causing the brain to overreact. This could explain Pulec’s high success rate in his carefully selected cases. Tinnitus and hyperacusis likely go hand in hand. “Prestin...

Had to raise my voice for 2 sentences at the glass screened bank counter. Now i'm left with a painfull left ear.

I will update you. I took the first dose today. Starting tomorrow, I will take one at breakfast and one at dinner. It looks like magnesium is also included as a supplement, so I will stop taking my other Magnesium tablets. The contents appear to be small granules. I’m not sure if they need to...

The package arrived today, straight from Japan. Mine (Tsumura No. 54) consists of small bags of powder. I’m supposed to take it twice a day before a meal with some lukewarm water. I must be desperate.

Because I couldn't handle the pain and burning sensations I took Tramadol. Of course this doesn't decrease tinnitus but it's been 2 days now and the burning isn't intense as usual. H is also still very bad.

NeuroQuiet Reviews on Amazon Most reviewers give it a one-star rating, and the only one who gives it five stars writes, “I have not seen any change, but I haven’t been taking it for very long.” Go figure. Plus, imagine putting something (contaminated) in your ear and ending up with an ear...

There is no proof that sound therapy works, and there is no way to tell if it does. Most people habituate over time. I tried Dr. Arnaud Norena’s researched custom sound therapy (based on my audiogram) in 2019, but I didn’t experience any improvement. If this worked, it would be widely offered...

I would stay away from sound therapy—I’ve been there. Give your ears time to rest. The younger you are, the better your chances of recovery. I continued playing music for about 10 years after the sound trauma, with only mild tinnitus and hyperacusis. However, in the last year before my...

“Trouble understanding voices when there is background noise” is a common hyperacusis symptom. Please stay away from concerts, even with earplugs. As a musician, I used custom-molded earplugs for rehearsals and gigs after an initial sound trauma that caused very mild tinnitus and hyperacusis...

Feels like my left ear is infected, but it isn't.

Tinnitus patients do not need hair cell restoration because it is possible to have significant hearing loss without experiencing tinnitus and to have tinnitus without any hearing loss. I do not believe in the hidden hearing loss theory.

Interesting because it seems to be used for the treatment of epilepsy as well. Maybe this is a natural Clonazepam. 😉 I ordered it from hommi.jp.

Bout to throw in the towel

I started digging into the EudraVigilance database soon after the launch of the mRNA vaccines and quickly found numerous reports of serious side effects, including tinnitus and hyperacusis. I’m very glad my family and I stayed far away from these shots. It seems to me that they disrupt the...

I did not know the cause of subjective tinnitus and hyperacusis had been definitively identified. That is great to hear! Hopefully, we will be saved from this terrible condition soon.

Left eyelid twitching, something new again.

Tinnitus is now listed as a safety concern for Tramadol. https://link.springer.com/article/10.1007/s40278-024-54318-7 And probably in the future for hyperacusis, too. https://publicsafetyandvigilance.com/2020/05/hyperacusis-associated-with-tramadol-a-drug-safety-signal/ Tinnitus and...

An acoustic neuroma can compress or inflame the auditory nerves, potentially causing tinnitus, even in individuals with normal or perfect hearing according to their audiogram. In some cases, patients continue to experience tinnitus after the acoustic neuroma is surgically removed, with outcomes...

A severe tinnitus / noxacusis patient has 2 options. Euthanasia or torture for the rest of his life.

VX-548 has been approved by the FDA. Has anyone tried it yet for severe tinnitus? It also targets neuropathy, facial pain, and migraines. Although the hissing is really bad, the facial sensations, burning ears, and migraines bother me the most.

Six years ago, Sven Vanneste told me I probably wouldn’t have tinnitus in five years. Damn, he was wrong—it’s never been worse.

BUMP. I’ve been in contact with Prof. Zhang. He said I would be a good candidate for his trial, but I’m in no condition to travel to the U.S. Maybe some U.S. members might want to take part in the trial? Locations: University of Miami, Coral Gables FL, United States Wayne State University...

Burning ears 24/7 now

How would targeting cochlear synaptopathy “fix” tinnitus?

Imaging that shows abnormal activity in the brain does not prove anything. Damaged sensors or nerves could be responsible for the brain receiving incorrect or extreme input, which would then result in abnormal activity. Dr. Pulec was highly respected and certainly not a charlatan. How do you...

Yes, like my father—a carpenter who worked all his life with loud machinery without any protection whatsoever. He was almost deaf at 88 but never experienced tinnitus or hyperacusis. The difference is that I experienced a single but extreme noise trauma—it felt like a knife stabbing into my...

Don't take the jab. Especially BNT162c(2).

Read the work of Dr. Megan Beers Wood. It is very interesting. Hair cells and synapses are, of course, damaged too. But I actually believe that tinnitus and hyperacusis have the same underlying cause. Someone with mild tinnitus will likely have mild hyperacusis in a very small frequency range...

I’ve been habituated for over 20 years, but how do you habituate to burning ears, tingling sensations on your face and skull, and migraines caused by tinnitus?

Interesting find. Dr. Jack Pulec: Dr. Jack Pulec always sectioned a 5 millimeter segment of the cochlear nerve in his patients. This case involved a patient who developed debilitating tinnitus after a barotrauma. In the majority of his patients (101 total), sectioning the nerve, which he...

Have you tried DMSO, Inspector Columbo? Old study: https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/1055561/ I'm gonna ask my local pharmacist if he can make a 50% gel for me using one of these three solutions: Solution 1: DMSO 50 Lanette SX 7.5 Liquid Paraffin 6.25 White Vaseline 11.25 Propylene glycol 5...

I think this might be related to the stapedius reflex. Perhaps the pain comes from the stapedius muscle, and the facial spasm is caused by the facial nerve. I’ve experienced constant facial tingling, though it’s not related to sound exposure. It’s just another constant tinnitus symptom, similar...

I keep myself busy as much as possible so i'm excausted in the evening and sleep well (VERY important). I don't answer phone calls, attend meetings or whatever. I avoid going to shops as much as possible. My wife is very caring and understanding. She goes to visit friends and family. But it...

Seems i can't reply on previous messages to answer your questions. I have mild T and H since 2004 but this escalated 2018. I have had periods of improvements but basicly this is just a roler coaster. But lately symptoms just have increased. I'm lucky I'm self employed (IT) and work from my home...

Please cherish those ears from now on.

Do you still work? If not, how do you spend your time during the weekdays and weekends?

Terrible night, intensive fireworks for over 1 hour. I'm a wreck. T raging, earpain and migraine. Happy New Year.

The only way to cope with T is to get your mind of it. But this is getting extremely difficult when your T it has become physical pain, with symptoms like burning ears, facial/skull sensations and migraines. Because I don't want to take painkillers every day I found ginger shots help me coping...

As I'm working with AI lately and it amazes me every day I'm building hope scientific research using AI might help solving tinnitus and hyperacusis sooner than expected. 🤞

Seems i'm sentenced to take gabapentine on a daily basis. If I don't T is much more electrical/static and my ear channels burn. Resulting in a permanent headache. It sucks

I would love to see Megan Beers Wood join Tinnitus Quest. She is doing amazing work. Hearing Health Foundation: Meet Megan Beers Wood

As usual, @Nick47 is correct.
