    Gangster Rap Concert — No Earplugs — Tinnitus ALL GONE

    Hello Beep Boop Bop, In the immediate aftermath of the Acoustic Trauma I tried to plug my ears when I was around loud noises. My brother practiced (and still practices to this day) drumming, usually for 2-4 hours per day. At first, I thought that using earplugs to prevent further damage and...

    Gangster Rap Concert — No Earplugs — Tinnitus ALL GONE

    Occasionally, I would get a spike in tinnitus every twenty four to seventy two hours. The spikes were the worst, they sent me into a rushed, panicked state of mind. At first, they lasted roughly thirty seconds each. Now it has been reduced to the two to four second hiss that I mentioned in the...

    Gangster Rap Concert — No Earplugs — Tinnitus ALL GONE

    Hello Rb86, I maintained the white noise machines on all the time when I slept in my bedroom i.e. if I slept for 8.5 hours of the night I would use 8.5 hours of white noise. I also used various items around my house to keep the sound at bay, ranging from the microwave fan in the kitchen, to...

    Gangster Rap Concert — No Earplugs — Tinnitus ALL GONE

    Hi Sentinel, I saw two audiologists, the first one being out of an ENT office in Franklin Massachusetts and the second one being out of a hearing and tinnitus clinic based in Mansfield, MA. The first performed a hearing loss test and the second did not. When the first doctor performed my...

    Gangster Rap Concert — No Earplugs — Tinnitus ALL GONE

    This... story... sounds... like... clickbait... BUT IT’S NOT!!! It’s a hundred percent real and it starts on a crisp cold day in the fall of 2019. It was my first day attending a dormitory at a real, public overnight college in the United States. I moved into my dormitory and had expectations...

    UK Members, What Are/Were Your Thoughts and Feelings About Brexit and the Referendum?

    Howdy folks (American Accent), I'm your little Yankee friend from South-Eastern Massachusetts dropping by. Admittedly, this one has nothing to do with tinnitus or hyperacusis, but I've been thinking about it lately considering I've run into so many UK users on the message board. Just...

    What Does Listening to Music Sound Like If You Have Hyperacusis?

    Hi Mister Muso, Thanks so much for answering my question. Your answer was informative and helpful. If it wouldn't trouble you too much, may I ask you another? I want to know about the slash between your tinnitus information in your about section. It says 2007/ April of 2019. Does this mean that...

    What Does Listening to Music Sound Like If You Have Hyperacusis?

    I am so so sorry Orions, if it makes you feel any better, music got me into this awful hell too. At least you are brave enough to share your experience.

    What Does Listening to Music Sound Like If You Have Hyperacusis?

    Hey folks, I’m new on the forum and I have very mild tinnitus (noise induced) with no hyperacusis. I suppose you could call this post an exercise in Empathy. Anyway, I have heard that apparently music sounds painful to listen to if you have hyperacusis. I’ve never had hyperacusis, but I’ve read...

    Do You Think That My (Noise Induced) Tinnitus Will Go Away?

    Hi folks, I wrote a letter to myself regarding my quiet, yet stubbornly persistent tinnitus symptoms. I have sent this one to both of my parents. I will be sending it to my psychiatrist, psychologist, and possibly an ENT whom I have had recommended to me as well. I understand my case of...

    Lenire — Bimodal Stimulation Treatment by Neuromod

    Hi Paulmanlike, Forgive me for correcting someone more knowledgeable on this topic, but "...I think if it's remained at that level for 5 months then it is as good as it gets and you won't get any improvement doing nothing" doesn't necessarily describe my scenario. I am not saying that I have...

    Lenire — Bimodal Stimulation Treatment by Neuromod

    Agrajag364: I have an appointment with Neuromod currently made for late May, early June. If it goes away by then, I'll just cancel the appointment. That being said, I don't think that I'm one of those people who's tough enough to habituate.

    Lenire — Bimodal Stimulation Treatment by Neuromod

    Hi folks, My name is Doug and I have been dealing with tinnitus caused by a loud concert mixed with severe wax buildup for about five months now. An ENT took good care of the wax buildup long ago, but the noise induced tinnitus remains. The volume has dropped off substantially, to the point...
