some days are better, I dont spike as much!! thanks for asking.

I go to trivia night and I'm fine and just wear an ear plug in my bad ear. It's not as loud as normal nights and I still have fun!!

Thats the brand I have. I would take two a day first thing in the morning on an empty stomach.

definitely get some NAC asap. https://www.amazon.com/Swanson-N-Acetyl-Antioxidant-Anti-Aging-Supplement/dp/B07F92YLRW/ref=sr_1_12?crid=2CAEE2XOU08VA&keywords=nac+supplement&qid=1552498325&s=gateway&sprefix=NAC%2Caps%2C141&sr=8-12

he's never masked. he just forgets it's there and doesnt hear it anymore. he doesnt obsess over it. but wears earplugs with equipment, bars, concerts etc.

yep. my husband doesnt let him faze him, tunes it out and forgets about it. he does wear earplugs at bars or loud places though. focusing on it, dwelling on it, or obsessing about it only makes it worse. it's like when you are doing stuff and not focusing on it, you dont notice it. But when you...

also- my husband doesnt worry about his ear issues sooo nothing really bothers him, except a ruptured eardrum that he got this winter. he forgets about it and it goes away. and he had a BOMB go off right next to him TWICE!

def NAC and melatonin at night. Low stress. protecting when you think you might be around a loud noise.

when and if the situation gets better the T should get better. Nothing is necessarily permanent.

if I were him I would get a second opinion. My husband had an ear infection and burst his eardrum and hes better now. He had preexisting hearing damage from Iraq. He could have an issue with his eardrum.. or ETD. It is not necessarily permanent. drs dont know everything, esp without testing.

have you ever seen that gif on the internet with the spinning woman where if you look one way she spins one way and look another way and she spins that way? Or the audio file where you think one word and you hear it and think another word and hear that? I think it's like that. the human brain is...

I think in some cases it's brain plastcity for sure and in others ,your ear heals.

Mine is fading slowwwly. it's Been 5 months. I got mine from 1 gunshot in an enclosed space. I take really good care of my ears normally and have never had an acoustic trauma or issue before.

Mine is getting to that point too, although sometimes it spikes. How long have you had it? How long did it take to fade?

yes and it goes hand in hand with obsessive thinking and focusing on it, which makes it LOUDER and you more depressed and anxious.

dpdx said: ↑ Ears do not heal. Its a ear for god sake not a broken bone or a cut. Eyes dont heal either and neither does the brain. They all heal! Everything heals. Our body heals. Just because it's not your personal experience doesnt mean it doesnt happen! Your attitude is getting in the way...

Yes!! It's fading, ever so slowly. 5 months as of the 16th. And about half the intensity it was last month. I get a spike about once a week now when just last month it was about ever 2 or 3 days. The anxiety related to the T is fading. I am at a pretty tolerable baseline. I just hope it fades...

I'm weaning off my ear plugs as well as my H fades.

I am taking extreme caution!!!!!!!!!!!!

mine is about half of what it was a month ago. almost 5 months in. i am counting my lucky stars and hope it continues. I think it all depends on how loud you hear it.

My husband has had T since basically 05, never went on a board about it, doesnt give it thought and gets no spikes from anything. He says I pay more attention to it, whereas he tunes it out and it goes away and he doesnt care. He had a bomb go off next to him in Iraq. A BOMB!!!! I over focus and...

First of all I'm talking about something moderately salty. its not exactly the same thing. diabetes can be life threatening whereas what happens to me is temporary as in spike for a few hours with no threats to my health as opposed to something that is crazy high in salt, which I wont eat.

salt spikes my T but very temporarily. I eat it anyway because I'm not going to let T control my life. However, I do read the sodium content on most foods and if it's crazy I dont eat it because it's unhealthy and if T is going to do some good in my life at least it can make me eat healthier!!!!

I have the same thing. noise induced t but also jaw and neck pain. mine were pre existing however but have gotten worse since.. I think one made the other worse. Maybe you had it but didnt notice it and since youre more aware of that area, youre more in tune with the pain.

I'd get some NAC and mag, even some tumeric to help with any inflamation.

I have the same. I think with the stress of T we tend to clench and the clenching makes the t worse. it's a vicious cycle. I try to be aware of it. Also, my neck hurts a lot.

ive heard magnesium spray is helpful

is it still gone?

my skin is often itchy. esp around my ears. it gets dry. sometimes you get a coating on your tongue although I dont have that. brain fog. google candida. there are more symptoms listed than I can think of now due to maybe...brain fog...lol

I think this is part of my issue as well. Ive been taking a yeast pill and it seems to help. I'll find out about the nystatin.

thank you, me too! most days are pretty quiet. I realized if I drink too much wine(not drunk but more than like 1 glass, I have the spike.)

thanks, I'm doing ok. It's fading very slowly. I get a spike about once a week but whenever it stops the baseline is quieter.

same

I never said you should be ashamed of yourself. i want the best for you. I never called you a troll either. It just seems like you dont listen to people's advice. that you ignore what people say as you never respond to any advice you are given. I am also a slight hypochondriac. so I know how...

we're not the only ones saying this..

what about niquil? i have a bad cold, but luckily it hasnt caused a spike except it was worse the first day.

totally agree.

yep!!!

ive been thinking that could be the case,too!!! i feel like he's messing with people. it seems to be the same story all the time. and no logical responses.

why is your earlobe folded into your ear? that sound painful to begin with.

I honestly dont think he reads any posts we write.

bruh! :wideyed::dunno: and for the record I have never used the word bruh before!

Well, take a look at this. My brother, screaming. Volume down obviously everyone. This just happened. And THIS is why I am experiencing feelings of hatred towards him. Oh well I thought I could insert a short video, I guess not. Well, I was recording while on my phone while it happened. I was...

Three months on Thursday.

nothing is 100% impossible. I know of a bunch of people that have recovered fully.

For me stress doesn't change a thing but that's because mine is noise-induced, not stress-induced. Mine is noise induced too, but stress makes it 10000% worse for me. I tighten up my muscles and my jaw and I focus on my T and it gets louder. I wake up in the morning and 9 days out of 10 I dont...

I’m starting to suspect you’re not here because of tinnitus or anxiety . . . I agree. something is off.

this is why you should be wearing earplugs. but to hate your toddler brother?!?!? he doesnt know what youre going through. my kids scream all the time and yeah it gets annoying but my earplugs help. he doesnt know. the world doesnt revolve around your ears. seriously? hate? you really need help.

does anyone else feel like hes not listening at all? earplugs are not comfortable at first. keep using them.. theyre are a heck of a lot safer than keeping messing with your ear, which you are doing. i dont think it started from that, i think it started from you obsessing over every little thing.

it's loud because your panic is intensifying...

dude. first of all, stop putting your fingers in your ears. get earplugs! Are you even reading the responses cause it really seems like you're not. you need to calm down! your nerves are making all this worse. a motorbike outside of your house is not going to hurt your ears!! wear earplugs that...

Ayurvedic medicine and practices have been around for thousands of years. Don't be so quick to write it off. And there is no need to be rude.

I did. It's getting better slowly. noises dont really bother me that much anymore but my own voice sounds odd. its getting better slowly.

I think hes trying to get a certain response, reassurance, hear what he wants to hear. instead of listening to actual advice. i feel for him, i do! hes so young. it must be shitty but he really needs to calm down. obsession is making it waaaay worse. I did that at first and it really leads...

youre not listening to what people are telling you. youre just doing stuff that you dont need to do and freaking yourself out!!! dropping a pen is not going to hurt your ears, snapping yogurt containers are not going to do anything. its like you keep picking at a scab thats trying to heal. STOP...

Honey badger dont give a shit!

BATS! they are sooo cool. SKUNKS!! they get a bad rap as do POSSUMS! OWLS!! and I like garden spiders too!!! And ELEPHANTS! And CATS AND DOGS.. HAMSTERS, TOO. wow. just so many cool animals.

you need a good probiotic and some digestive enzymes...also raw milk would prob help too.

I've been taking NAC regularly but it now has brown flecks in the capsule and it's been bothering my tummy when I take it first thing in the am. What's up with that???
