the doom and gloom here is extremely toxic, get out of here and learn to meditate

reminder that the cure is acceptance. its just a sound really. dealing with a permanent spike right now.

tinnitus sucks but obsession with tinnitus is infinitely more damaging than tinnitus itself

If you're having a spike, your immediate focus should be getting along with your day to day life, NOT the volume. Focusing on T will kill u

Thank you so much! i would love some more info actually! Herbal remedies are underrated. Sometimes they can't replace traditional medicine, but looking towards it can really save your life in some cases. Especially with staphylococcus aureus.

That's all I was asking for :)

Thank you!!! That sucks horribly for them also, I hope they at least feel better about it!

Why do antibiotics have to be so dangerous, why cant we just mass murder bacteria without any consequences... "nature is cruel" windom earle

I was hoping to consolidate some experiences with Bactrim here, if anyone is willing to share any experiences, personal or from people you know. Thank you to whoever participates! I'm scared out of my mind to take it, but I have a horrible and painful staph infection... more specifically...

hope you're doing well, sorry to drag you back to this ""fun"" world if I'm doing so, did the spike from your bactrim dose improve?

i know this is super late, hopefully your folliculitis has cleared up. fucidin is probably safe, I used it for 6 months without bacterial resistance or ototoxicity. Thats obviously anecdotal as are most of my points here but its a particularly long term use and if it does have seriously...

Thank you for sharing your experience ! Drug reliance is never the answer , you need to have the tools when you're low as well. And frequent use of psychs, however safe they are compared to other drugs, is nothing to mess around with either. It can do things to you. I do think psychs are for...

here to say that, as a relatively mild tinnitus sufferer, i have had wonderful experiences with psychedelics, psilocybin mushrooms and lsd namely, but only after habituating to my tinnitus. being able to still enjoy these substances after tinnitus was the greatest morale boost I have experienced...

Ah, asking people about antibiotics they took months/years later... How did TMP/SMX go?? Any adverse effects? Thanks!

Folliculitis fucking sucks haha I've been fighting it for 2 years now. Staph is a stubborn bacteria and doctors are very unsympathetic to the issue. I'm sorry if this is what you've experienced. If I may, I recommend investing in some Chlorhexidine and using it sparingly in problem areas, it's...

I went to the ENT to check on my sinuses (turns out I was having a migraine). ENT got excited when she saw wax buildup in my ears, started going crazy before I could even say no. She dropped hydrogen peroxide and put some numbing agent on a cotton ball in my ears and nose. The whole face was...

oh my god this is exactly how I feel right now... Having to give up production has been horrible, I can barely listen to like 3 or 4 songs on itunes before my tinnitus starts to go fuckin nuts haha. Production was my most healthy coping mechanism. So much lost potential i feel like. I feel u...

damn man crazy how spikes can just happen out of fuckin nowhere like that

Not everyone has gotten used to it. YET.

TL;DR - Skateboarding and doing tricks causes quick 98-108 dB bursts in intervals of a few seconds at least (rather than continuous). If you wear proper hearing protection, reducing the sound by about 10 dB on average, is this still dangerous? Tinnitus doesn't suck as much as the sacrifices...

So I'm looking into antibiotics that fight MRSA, and while the vast majority of them are ototoxic, or at least people say they are (doxycycline, vancomycin), I recently found one called Dalbavancin, brand name Dalvance. I can't find any forum posts about whether or not it's affected people's...

Thank you!!! I certainly hope so too...

Update: Huge progress on the spike!!! Almost down to baseline, too soon to say for certain but I'm pretty optimistic!!! Being really nice to my ears seems to be really paying off!!

Wow, twice... the universe can be cruel. Really happy to hear they both subsided though!! No one deserves for something this dumb to cause irreparable damage...

Oh for real? Good to know, I hope to god that they stay there .... lmfao.... And definitely. Not even gonna listening to music with speakers for a while.

Update, if anyone cares in the future. There was a spike, about 16-18 hours later. Only slight, definitely livible, hopefully it'll go down to base. Also the sound, which is usually scattered and static-like, is more of a solid ring. It fluctuates by seconds, though.

Randomly set off the fire alarm in my building today, it was loud as hell... I had my ears plugged as hard as possible with my fingers for the entire time (about 1 minute or so). Left the room and went to quiet, there was a new tone that went away after a couple minutes. Right now it's...

I think it might have not been the mushrooms in this case tho, possibly the dentist visit prior. We will never know.

thank u so much man!!! i definitely hope so... wish u the best !!

My T changes from pure hiss to a high pitched tone with a hiss several times within a day. However the net volume has noticeably reduced within the past several months. Would you say this is still a good sign despite the presence of high pitched tones? thank u for all the positive info btw!!

Did it ever improve??

make it STOP

TL;DR ~ tinnitus spiked after party where I drank a lot, volume seems to have subsided but the pitch and sound has changed to something I can't mask. Could this be an alcohol thing?? Has anyone had something similar?? If anyone has had something similar happen, or might have some answers as to...

Hey, I don't blame you if you're not active anymore haha but I have a few questions. I have T for literally the exact same reasons you have it, and it seems as though I'm going on the same path as you which makes this post the most relieving and comforting thing I have read in my entire...

I'm sorry, I've only had it for about a month now and I didn't see the original post.. i gotta double check what people are talking about before throwing random unsolicited advice at people. But yea i mean regardless of how long you have it habituation is key.

Lol I know you weren't asking me, but after the onset of my T i've frequently gone to the movies, and I wear those cheap foam earplugs from chain pharmacies. I have never had a problem with spikes afterwards; in fact, going to the movies is one of the last kind of public events I can actually...

I feeeeel you, sometimes I do that. The key is to distract yourself, dwelling is going to make it both physically and emotionally worse. When you focus on it it literally gets worse. Do something that will forcibly occupy your mind for a while, like a competative video game or something. When...

I love this, its extremely accurate and it's something I've noticed is saving my attitude and my life.

Aye man this might be some self help bullshit but hang in there. One thing I've realized since this stupid ringing started is that there were a lot of external factors in my life that I was convinced were the reasons I were happy... hence this thread. But in reality, the happiness was something...

@jasonbourne AYAYA at least we're in the exact same boat!! somehow. 2 random people dealing with the same cruel fate. I'm thinking the same thing! The more I look into it the more I find that the internet is a harsh form of availability heuristic. Of course every single story in the forums is...

Thank you for the hopeful words!!! I've been having a hard time thinking the same thing, but I realized today that there are people with serious drug addictions that also have to go sober. A lot of them make it through and find SOMEHTING to do. I miss drugs and headphones like hell, but I guess...

I agree. I mean I do have to say it's important to be grateful for the fact that this is a livable condition. Not because of some moral competition where some things are worse, though, but because, for me at least, realizing that I am still completely alive and can do things with my life still...

I didn't mean it like that!!! of course there's nothing wrong with sitting in a quiet room and reading a book, in fact we need way more people to start doing that... we'd be in a much better place. I'm just frustrated because a normal day for me would be getting high 2-3 times and making music...

Wait really?? I hear stories about people with T who drop, and then the ringing spikes and launches them into more or less a sound hell... the idea scares the hell out of me. Do you usually trip alone or with people? Are you usually distracted?

I don't want to make another gloom and doom post, there are enough and they're probably scaring the shit out of people who don't need it. But I don't know who else to go to about this and it's eating me alive. I guess I just want to see if anyone has been through similar motions of having to...

@Guguguna of course man, hang in there shit gets better

If it makes you feel any better, most of the people on this board aren't going to give you personal anecdotes about how their tinnitus went away because they're only hear because they have it in the first place. Anyone who had tinnitus that went away is likely avoiding these forums so they don't...

I hate to be the guy who says sad things but for me personally it spikes my tinnitus. It's not permanent though, it will go down as the high goes down. I used to smoke twice a day every day, I personally quit because the spike can be pretty distracting if you're not in the right mindset. But...
