    Veteran for Years; Now Hearing Loss & Increased Tinnitus & Mild Hyperacusis

    Hello again, It’s me... the dumbest man on earth. Life was good, my hyperacusis & tinnitus were not a problem anymore, I used hearing protection when needed until recently. I went to a party and the music was loud (not loud like you need to scream to hear someone but loud enough). I had a few...

    Veteran for Years; Now Hearing Loss & Increased Tinnitus & Mild Hyperacusis

    I thank you both for the warning. I'm trying my best to be active and not put my ears at risk. I vacuum, use power tools with noise cancelling headphones and when I go to the movie, I wear custom musician earplugs. Even at the gym when some dumb kids drop plates I put earplugs in, you don't want...

    I'm truly sorry you are going trough that. I understand your position. I just wanted to give some hope. Please don't get me wrong, I know others can have it harder than me or anyone else. But because you have it harder doesn't mean other can't celebrate little things in life or that their pain...

    Just a quick update to tell you that tinnitus is not the end of the world and you should be grateful to only have this problem in your life. I don't want to belittle your pain (I have been there) but when you face real life changing problems (like a big surgery, losing a loved one), you really...

    Tinnitus is the least of my problem now (it's just a sound). Facing a major back surgery, that's the big deal.

    Motorcycle Riding — What Decibel (dB) Levels Can One Be Exposed to via Bone Conduction?

    Hi @Robin21, I just bought a bike, not a loud one (XSR125 YAMAHA with EUR5 exhaust). As said before me, the engine is not the problem (it's "quiet", 86 dB max), it's the wind. I saw that you have the C4 Pro. I just ordered mine (the basic one, it's the same without the communication system)...

    Hey guys, just a quick update! I'm sorry for not following up since then but life has been busy (& did not want to think about tinnitus or hyperacusis). Tinnitus is still there, but my response to it is so much lower! It may not be as loud as some of you have of course but that's it...

    16-Year-Old with Tinnitus from Middle Ear Infection: Will I Have It for the Rest of My Life?

    Hi @dan, I don't care anymore because I have others health issues (it's getting better yeah!!!), sleep is the last of my worries. At first it was very hard, I was in a fight with my T & H & the lost of hearing. Strangely, since I force my mind to not care about it, I sleep better (I learn that...

    16-Year-Old with Tinnitus from Middle Ear Infection: Will I Have It for the Rest of My Life?

    Hi Celina, I will tell you what I read here from someone (sorry can't remember who): What you have now is not what you are going to have for the rest of your life. Your tinnitus may decrease (or not) but you WILL get to a point that "life go on". Your tinnitus may be the same but your reaction...

    Hearing a Forceful Crackle Every Time You Swallow?

    I have that since the onset of my new tinnitus (maybe 1/2 weeks after). I think it's highly link to your stress level. When you get stress or anxiety you can "break" something in your body due to the tension in your muscle, joint... Do not worry about the sound, I'm 99% sure it's link to some...

    yes : fan, brown/white noise are my friends since 15 years (see my introduction). I stoped taking sleeping aids 2 weeks ago because it doesn't help me more (no difference with/without). I hate drugs, make me a mess all day. I need to pass out to sleep & I woke up several time per night ... I...

    Acupuncture for Tinnitus

    Hi Samira, if it’s working for someone, it’s because of the placebo effect. The way you think as a lot to do in the tinnitus nuisance but needles will never heal your ears! For me it was a waste of time... but you should give it a try. If it lowers you stress and anxiety you will benefit from...

    Zopiclone Worsened My Hyperacusis

    I did take Zoplicone for 30 days, it's a strong drugs (put me down quickly). I did not notice any increase of my H, T during this period. Do not overthink about it, maybe your H will settle down but do not stop cold turkey, you need to taper.
