What an awesome thread this turned out to be. The timescales are slightly disheartening, but it sounds like things are moving in the right direction.

A loud bang from a barbell someone was using was what prompted we to start using them about a week or so ago, the sound didn't aggravate/hurt anything, I'm now just more aware of louder sounds... I've got musician's ones that don't muffle the sound, I can't hear the tinnitus with them in when...

Sorry I was editing my post as you wrote that I think, after those first few weeks of trying to act 'normal'... even if cautious. I've stopped those things entirely after seeing the posts on here. Thankfully that time didn't worsen my tinnitus. I use plugs in the gym now too. Ginkgo and...

Thanks for clarifying. It is highly likely to be from noise, it came on (or at least, I first noticed it) a week after being exposed to loud music. And I do have a history of going to a couple of gigs in years previous without plugs, I've used headphones like most people do but never at stupid...

What is the general consensus on Reactive vs Non-Reactive Tinnitus? Would reactive tinnitus indicate more severe damage to the inner ear (assuming it is noise induced)? I only ask as I see lots of users on here having spikes from certain sounds/foods, and mine doesn't seem to do that at all...

Very interesting, and the fact he took the time to write out such a long, detailed response shows how passionate he is about this, didn't seem as cold/clinical as some... For example, I've messaged Auris Medical about the AM-101 trials and received rather short responses that seemed very...

When are the results of those 2 expected to be?

God I hope it's good news, even though I'm a newbie with milder tinnitus, I'm still having debilitating days from panic attacks (usually every 4-5 'ok' days to 1 bad at the moment). Can someone give me a brief explanation of where FX-322 is at the moment? My understanding is we're awaiting...

Christ, that sounds...intense... I'm also a guitar player (I actually own/run and effects pedal company too) and I think I kick started this whole thing from the first practice I did with a new band without using ear plugs...dumb, but I've more than learned my lesson. I'm totally fine with...

Sounds like yours is very similar to mine, noticed it about 5/6 days after a loud-ish jam session. I'm only at 2 months, but I actually only noticed mine after plugging my ears one night trying to find a whining noise that I'm not sure was even my tinnitus now I think about it! I think it was my...

Out of curiosity, how bad was you T at the onset? IIRC from what I've read it was somewhat but intense at the start? Great that you're having periods of silence though :)

Giving this a try, curcumin landed today and took my first lot. Mixed it with black pepper, 1tbsp peanut butter and a small drop of maple syrup. Sounds gross, but the PB/syrup took the edge off the pepper and make it really easy to mix into a paste/ball that I could get down in one go. I've...

To add to the above, I've had T for just shy of 8 weeks, not 100% sure on the cause but my guess would be noise exposure. Mine has only ever been 'in a quiet/silent room'. Did fine for about a month, completely ignored it for the most part. When anxiety/panic hit in the 4th week I think I...

Looking for any advice/encouragement. I'll try to keep the context as brief as I can... August 11th - noticed higher pitched 'eee' ringing in ears, only mild, and only pressing ears in. Seemed to be worse in the right but I think thats because at the time of discovery I had a fan blowing and a...

Oh I forgot to add, I had a couple of episodes of fleeting T last week, basically 3 days in a row for about 10 seconds. But haven't had any of that since then, it was a weird sensation that seemed to be related to the build up of pressure/fullness I was feeling. The last time it happened I knew...

So, quick update... Over the last 2-3 days I've noticed some improvements: The baffling/fullness in my ear seems to have stopped, I maybe get a few minutes of it first thing in the morning but I think that may just be from me getting up/moving about & getting my blood flowing. I don't appear...

*Long post warning* Yo yo yo, 25-year-old dude here from the UK just beginning my 5th week of tinnitus. So, the story so far... I've always been conscious of getting tinnitus, not to the point of paranoia, but I was mindful at concerts and wearing ear plugs (especially when going to see...
