    Do You Know Anyone Who Has Had Their Life Permanently Changed Due to a Health Condition?

    @Orions Pain said...It's easy to get lost in our own problems, and sometimes what it takes for me to snap out of my own "poor me" cycle, is knowing I'm not the only one in this world who is suffering. This is my first post in quite a while...that quote struck a note with me though...I don't...

    Hello from the Deep South

    Have been using earplugs for swimmers as the foam ones don't work so well. I have ordered a set of Ear Peace plugs with attenuation filters and am hoping they will allow me to talk to people without having to take them out every time (that has been a problem with both the foam ones and the other...

    I Bought a Motorcycle — Afraid of It Making My Tinnitus Worse

    You are correct sir, and I stand corrected...once I put my helmet on I realized I still needed earplugs and promptly put them on. I also made it a very short "putt" just around the neighborhood due to the fact that I am not in top shape lately due to the sleep issues that come with this new (to...

    Hello from the Deep South

    Digital Doc / Lane Yes, at the time this all started I had no idea what was coming...I ended up stopping the Celexa after 10 days because the side effects created a dangerous situation at work (I work with cutting blades in making signs/banners as a wide fomat tech...it gave me the shakes) but...

    Can Someone Explain to Me Why Neil Bauman Is So Influential?

    Wow, am I glad I found this thread. I am 1 month into my whirlwind frenzy of trying to get INFORMED and hopefully CURED of this hellish condition and, yes, I actually have that Neil Bauman's list of ototoxic drugs printed out and sitting on my table for reference. And yes, I called my GP about...

    Hello from the Deep South

    I was going through a week long treatment of Cipro for a UTI which made me pretty sick (lost some weight and couldn't sleep). At the same time my doctor put me on Celexa for stress associated with a really bad work situation and still trying to decompress from a pulmonary arterial/ venous...

    How and Why Did You Choose Your Username?

    My username represents the path in life I have traveled. Seems I can never get where I want to go in a straightforward way...always end up going a Country Mile. The avatar reflects that as well but it also happens to be my favorite kind of road to ride my bike on.

    Who Here Developed Tinnitus from an Acoustic Shock/Trauma?

    Mine started when a co-worker who has habit of emitting extremely loud "hoots" as a form of laughter (he is also partially deaf and doesn't realize how loud he is) did so while I was standing in front of him. It just so happens that at the time I was just finishing a week long regimen of Cipro...

    Hello from the Deep South

    Hi all. I've been on the outside looking in for a few weeks now and I decided to change that. I have been informed and soothed by what I have found here. I have had what I now know is low level tinnitus most of my life. Had ear infections as a child with 2 procedures where tubes were placed...
