Advil 600 mg every 6 hours is 2400 mg of Ibuprofen a day. That seems to be high enough dose to be ototoxic. Consider not taking so much. Ibuprofen (Advil) can cause hearing loss and tinnitus.
It's not. It's been proven time and time again. Job interviews, etc. Beautiful women do better. If you think a male doctor isn't going to give a beautiful woman more attention than a lousy looking one, you are living in a fantasy world.
What they use is different kind of noise. Over 100 dB. Nobody's tinnitus is that loud. Usually tinnitus is just a few decibels over the hearing threshold.
Xanax can silence some peoples tinnitus because it messes with your gaba in the brain.
Cuddling releases oxytocin, which is also known as the feel-good hormone. It increases overall happy feeling. Cuddling can also release endorphins, which is the chemical released after a good workout or when...

@dayl you are fortunate because people, who commit to the final act of ending their lives, don't advertise it. You know it yourself, you won't kill yourself. You just wanted some attention.
It is believed that tinnitus in acute phase originates in the ear, but over time moves onto the brain (centralizes). Once it's in the brain, fixing ears (or treatments like AM-101) might not be effective solution to stop / lessen tinnitus.
What are you looking for? ENT? Neurotologist? Counseling? CBT? TRT?
What are you looking to gain from seeing the specialist (as you know, there are no good treatments for tinnitus)?
You want your hearing tested? Some medications tried? What?
Be more specific!
Are you sure your tinnitus is louder, you aren't just imagining it or focusing on it more out of worry? Outer ear infection shouldn't affect tinnitus...
There is NOTHING that suggests a hearing loss cure is coming in 10 years. It is more than a decade away, most likely 2-5 decades. For sure. If you haven't noticed, medicine progresses slowly. Trials, approvals and other investigations will take years on top of finding a cure.
Yes you can, it's clear from your postings that you aren't the type of person who would be able to kill themselves.
You are the type of person that needs to be in control. In time you will learn to accept the tinnitus. Accepting it instead of fighting it. A couple of years from now you might...

How long will it take until hair cells can be regenerated?
@jdjd09
Someone who's been offering you great help in this topic sent me a private message commenting on your case and you. I'm relaying it to you, but withholding the person's name for privacy.
Please take a hint from this as I fully agree with all of it:
We've been leading a horse to...
It sounds like in your point of view nobody on this site is able to give you any hope. I see a lot of hope offered but you are not willing to accept the fact that things will get better. Why are you so determined for this to ruin your life? How the hell can you foresee the future?
Can someone please close this thread, I'm getting tired reading this, the person (@jdjd09) is unwilling to accept the possibility of improvement over time. He doesn't do anything but place blame on others. He doesn't take the lead of his life when he is guided to do so.
Ask your mother to book an appointment with an audiologist who will check your hearing. A fullness feeling is normal but it should subside in a week or two. NEVER listen to loud music again.

Both of those have adjustable bands and fit most heads.
Yes... A crazy person on our way to work could decide to hit us in the head with an axe, from behind, without us realizing. Or we could be victims of the next mass shooting.

Life is full of surprises. Could end for any of us today.
