Call me stupid but wouldn't we need to regenerate the auditory nerve before we regenerate hair cells, at least in the case of people who have had hearing loss for more than a year?

No, work doesn't really stress me. I enjoy my job. I'm sure it's the noise of work that causes inflammation.

I think inflammation is right on the money. I took a week off from work, and the dysacusis got a little better. Went back to work, it got worse. We must be close.

Here's my guesses. 1) loudness hyperacusis of certain frequencies coupled with dips in hearing 2) tonal remapping in the auditory cortex bringing your brain the wrong sound 3) damaged OHCs that have lost their tuning ability 4) damage to the basilar membrane or middle ear bones Or even a wacky...

I would just like to say Hoot I have almost the exact same symptoms - even the whistling sound over wind and water. I wonder what it could be. I spent a week off work in my silent room, and seemed to get a little better, went back to work, and now feel worse than I started. Very weird. It must...

I work construction and add a new tone every month. It's almost nice, I can pick which tone I want to focus in.

Assuming FX-322 actually regenerates hearing effectively, it would work for all frequencies. The problem with regenerating lower frequencies is getting medicine further into the cochlea, not the medicine itself. Otomagnetics claims they have a delivery method that would get medicine all the way...

Still nothing on their website or the ClinicalTrials.gov page...

"You will be compensated for your participation" so for time, yes, travel expenses, no.

Not a troll. Just someone pointing out your nonsensical CBT hatred. I see this garbage metaphor everywhere too: "It's like getting stabbed by a knife and being told to ignore it." Sorry, no, it's really not. Because stab wounds will heal. Stab wounds have real treatments. There is nothing for...

So many garbage answers! Always funny seeing you and Contrast squealing against CBT. "Why is this our standard of care???" Hey guess what it's probably because the other option is nothing. And doing nothing isn't care. "But it doesn't stop the ringing wah wah CBT bad" no shit Sherlock...

Ok. Youre an ENT. You have a patient with severe tinnitus distress and thoughts of suicide. What do you do/offer/suggest to help this patient?

Hi FGG, I have hearing distortion too, making things sound tinny or metallic, for example paper sounds like I'm gently rubbing two pieces of copper pipe together. Furnace has a whistling sound over it, like some bird. Thing is I have never been exposed to any medications since it started, only...

So many no nonsense no cussing high IQ individuals in MPP. Kinda cringe. I bet they watch Rick and Morty and understand all the subtle nuances and metaphors too!

Isn't that for drugs? Don't medical devices only need 2 trials?

Have you tried curcumin? Seems all the rage these days.

1) custom earplugs. 2) dentist for your jaw. The tools are there for you. You just have to pick them up.

IMO I think this is caused by loudness hyperacusis of certain frequencies. About the same time the distortion started I found I could (and still can) hear lightbulbs buzz. Not like a barely audible buzz either, I mean like a the level of a refrigerator hum. Wacky stuff bro.

I feel you exactly. I've been coping just fine with my tinnitus but recently started with the distortions. It's been devastating. The shower used to be my safe space where I couldn't hear my tinnitus. Now it's a whistling screeching hellhole. I'm worried eventually all frequencies will be...

Did it help the distortion at all?

I get it over those same sources, except unfortunately certain voices are having it now too...

I have different distortions from different sources too. One of them is am ear splitting whistle and it drives me nuts.

Following a week of loud noise at work I've come down with slight hyperacusis and distorted noise that sounds like whistling. I can't pin down the affected frequency though.

His proof is that doing yoga and meditating make his body feel better. But its supposed to, that's real science. All this energy prana stuff is just mumbo jumbo. Yoga and aerobic exercise and meditation is just plain good for the body. There's no special energy. Its just science. His blue dot is...

Yeah, I've still got the insomnia. I take 3mg melatonin just for the hell of it, doesn't actually do anything though. Ive kinda developed an attitude towards the tinnitus. I work in construction so it'll only get louder anyway, so I just do whatever I want, tinnitus be damned. My tinnitus has...

Lenire reportedly works for 2/3 people regardless of the cause of tinnitus. Anyway I don't think caffeine gave you tinnitus. It was probably the loud music. My tinnitus is pretty new but definitely loud. Gives me very bad insomnia. Noise induced.

Basically the nerves in your ears are activating at random without input and that causes the sounds of tinnitus. I think Lenire and Susan Shore's devices stimulate a nerve that shares a pathway with the nerves of the ear, which can stop those nerves from firing or the extra signals from reaching...

I think this is more of a "what, you don't want to hang out with me?" than a "why would you quit drinking?" thing. Man probably just wanted a buddy. I've gone "drinking" with friends and just drank pop while they get drunk. Nobody actually cares if you're getting smashed or not.

The only reason I have the Lorazepam was because the initial lack of sleep and fear and stress from getting tinnitus gave me a pretty huge meltdown panic attack. My mom brought me to the ER and they gave it to me for the anxiety and for sleep. I slept that night for a couple hours. The second...

I havent slept in 4-5 days, and by that I don't mean poor sleep, I mean I have NOT slept at all for 4 days. I have been taking Melatonin or Lorazepam and neither seems to work for me. At this point the muscle fatigue is really bad to the point that even sitting up is just... heavy. I don't know...

Would it even be worth it? It has been a week since the trauma so I think I'm boned.

How do I get that? What are the risks? I have no doctors to talk to and I don't want to make anything worse.

I just got back from the ENT. He took an audiogram and my hearing is completely fine, really good actually. So my guess is I completely obliterated the high frequency hair cells and those are causing the tinnitus. Because of the hearing test he would not prescribe me anything. So it looks like...

The night of July 3rd I was finally allowed to launch fireworks with my uncle for the fireworks show we always do. I didn't use earplugs. I was launching them, basically right next to me, lighting new ones while the others exploded right next to my ears. I have extremely high pitched noises in...
