    The Effects of Hypothyroidism Upon the Ear, Nose and Throat

    I don't even bother telling my doctor about tinnitus, as I know he can't help. But I am on Levothyroxine and it hasn't helped my tinnitus at all.

    ForgTin to Forget Tinnitus: Reviews / Experiences? Does It Work?

    As someone who has had very good results from acupressure, though admittedly on my calves, I don't think this will work. The site is available in English and is quite open about what it will (or will not) do. The device wraps around the ear and applies pressure to the muscles around the ear...

    Share Your Coronavirus (COVID-19) Vaccine Experience: Any Impact on Your Tinnitus or Hyperacusis?

    I had my second Pfizer vaccination a couple of weeks ago. I barely felt the needle, and just minor soreness in my arm. I have a friend who has been in and out of the hospital for several months with COVID-19, I sure think it is something to worry about.

    Riding Dirtbikes — Will I Get a Tinnitus Spike?

    When I ride my Vespa the noise of the wind can be quite loud in my helmet. Not even earplugs, I use Mac's silicone, will block all the noise. Ocassionally get a temporary increase in the volume of my T, but it always goes back to normal. I is very unlikely I would quit riding.

    Are Caffeine and Alcohol Especially Dangerous to Tinnitus Sufferers?

    I have noticed a spike - not a big one, but noticeable - after drinking alcohol. Don't drink caffeine anymore, so can't speak to that.

    New Member, Old Tinnitus

    Tinnitus is constant. It's not deafening, but of course loud enough to hear unless something really has my attention. One reason I listen to music as much as possible. I'm in the southwest of the US.

    New Member, Old Tinnitus

    Hello all, I just joined up, though I have been lurking for a while. I have had tinnitus since the 70s, due probably to loud music on headphones and driving with the window open for years. My tinnitus is a mostly constant high-pitched tone which varies with the usual triggers, but so far always...
