Do you take it in the morning or at night? I think it might give me spikes but I’m not sure.

6 months at the end of this month... I’ve found myself becoming less optimistic that it will go away on its own now.

Thanks for the information @Justin De Moss. Were these studies done on human or animal subjects? I’m just curious if we have any human anecdotes on tinnitus and the Hough Pill. If not, hopefully we will have soon.

Please share how it goes for you. Good luck!

Thanks, I hope yours improves too. Mine's a tone around 4000 Hz. I wish I could have a quiet hiss. Maybe it fades one day.

Hi @Deamon22, It’s good to hear that you’re doing well. You mentioned in your original post that you drained your Eustachian Tubes initially, how did you do that?

I wouldn’t say it’s changed since I’ve started tapering. Since my tinnitus has started it has changed to be slightly less reactive but the base tone has gotten louder most the time.

I’m sorry to hear you haven’t been doing well. I hope you improve soon. I’m still hanging in there. Tapering to 15mg citalopram from 20mg at the moment.

Has this worked for anyone on the forum? All the success stories I’ve seen posted are cross posted from outside of the forum.

Thanks for sharing your experience with Prozac, are you still on 20mg or did you taper further? If you did, how long did you take to taper further?

Do you think it would be feasible to give everyone suffering from tinnitus to the point where it affects their lives the attention you were given? It might be a lot of effort but it’s something that may work for many. Especially when you look at what tinnitus has driven some people to do.

Yeah it would have been interesting to see if it had the same effect again. It sucks that the benefits disappeared after you stopped (if the NR was the reason and not just a coincidence). I would definitely prefer whatever cures us not to be something we have to take every day.

Do you think he will make Lenire better with what he had learnt or do you think we just lost out on the most promising device? It seems like a waste to throw away research on a device that we know has cured one of our members.

Have you got back to the near silence you got on the 300-400mg dose you were on or are you still working your way up?

Thank you for the in depth response, I also rue the day I started them. I’ve also read that tapering slowly is very important. How fast did you taper 2 years ago when it didn’t work if you don’t mind me asking? Has this taper been comfortable for you and have you noticed any positive effects...

Hi @all to gain, If you don’t mind me asking, how long have you been on SSRIs for and what are your reasons for wanting to get off? I’ve been on Citalopram for 8 or 9 years and I’ve been considering coming off. I’ve had tinnitus for 5 months so I don’t know if I can blame the SSRI this long...

Hi @Decsi I'm sorry to hear that you're struggling. Did you stop the SSRI (which SSRI was it?) cold turkey or did you taper? How long did it take for the tinnitus to come and what does it sound like? (Ringing/Buzzing/High Frequency/Low Frequency and is it in One Ear/ Both Ears?)

I feel that’s a huge part of the problem with trying to fix tinnitus. It’s so hard to diagnose what’s causing it for different people.

From what I’ve read they should be, glad it’s going well :)

Thanks for sharing your story @Gee82 , how long are you going to taper for and how do you feel so far while tapering?

I love that tinnitus is specifically mentioned in this video.

Glad you recovered! Is there a specific app you use on the Alexa device to play the rain sounds?

I think @cjbhab chased @Justin De Moss away with his offer :p

Hi Meeb, I see you mentioned that SSRIs made your tinnitus worse. If you don’t mind me asking, how long were you on them and did the increase subside when you quit?

Thanks, I haven’t been able to find a local dentist who specializes in TMJ but I think my chances will be better once COVID restrictions start to loosen up. The only noise damage I could think of is headphone use but even that wasn’t crazy loud I think. I haven’t looked into physical causes...

I've had tinnitus in one of my ears for the past 2 months following a stressful period. I have been lurking the forum for the past 2 months and I see TMJ is a common cause. I wouldn't say I have bad TMJ, my jaw does however crack/click when I open my mouth further than the halfway point on the...

Hey @jacob256 Thanks for sharing, I think my tinnitus is stress induced too. When you started implementing all of these changes, how did the improvement start? Did you just feel a 90% reduction the next day or did it increase gradually? If it was gradual, how long did it take to get to your...

Did the NAC give you anxiety after taking it for a bit or when you stopped?

Thanks! I think maybe it was just too much for me. I’ll try taking less and see how I react to it.

I just saw the brand of Magnesium you were/are using is Doctors Best. Is this still the brand you're using? I saw this incidentally but bought Doctors Best magnesium a while ago and every time I take it I feel uneasy and start feeling like I have bad anxiety coming on. I feel it mostly in my...

Thank you for the response, I definitely am willing to spend a lot of money to curb the suffering. The curcumin has already helped so much that I would have been willing to spend much more on such an improvement (It's only been 5 days but hopefully it stays). I will try the NAC first as the NR...

It's a local brand - https://www.biogen.co.za/products/platinum-range/curcumin-anti-inflammatory/ I don't think it is anything special but it has helped me a lot.

Thanks for this @SoundB0und, I’ve started taking Curcumin and have seen probably a 50-60% reduction in volume right away. I’ve been looking into getting some NAC but there isn’t any stock at my stores at the moment but I’ll get some as soon as I can find stock. This is the first time I’ve seen...

@JohnAdams I saw more posts of yours saying that curcumin helped your tinnitus. I started taking curcumin supplement pills 3 days ago and after the first day I had a substantial improvement in the volume of my reactive tinnitus. Thank you so much for those posts! Has your tinnitus stayed...

I haven’t noticed any problems with my neck so I don’t think they’ll help for me unfortunately.

Thank you for the post, I’m glad you found the cause for you reactiveness. If the reactiveness in mine would go down I think I could be okay. I’ve just run out of hope trying to find the underlying cause. Everything seems like a dead end.

Loud noise makes sense as a common cause but I don’t know if I could attribute mine to loud noise. I have been to loud concerts but nothing recently (more than a year or 2 ago). I don’t typically go to clubs or anything loud like that either.

@BuzzyBee Thank you, do you know if it stops people from being able to habituate or be able to cope with it one day? @Contrast I haven’t been to a concert in over a year and don’t typically go anywhere loud. My audiologist said my hearing was good but I suppose it’s possible for there to be...

Hi all, For the past 2 weeks I've had tinnitus, I've seen an audiologist and ENT and neither could find anything. The reason I'm concerned is that my tinnitus doesn't sound like what most people describe. My tinnitus is very reactive to sound, not in the sense that it is louder after exposure...

Thanks @Deniseh not knowing the cause is the worst part. Does anyone else experience tinnitus that reacts to sound? It sounds like all sound is accompanied by a high pitch ring that lasts about 200ms longer than the sound I would say. When there is a low hum in the background it causes the...

Thanks for the kind words everyone. I'm hoping for the best. I'm trying to not obsess over it going away but rather trying to remember that it's just sound hoping I can learn to ignore it most of the time. Over the past few days all I would do is focus on it hoping it was getting less but I...

Hi all, Just over 2 weeks ago I started going through a very stressful period, I was stressed to the point that I was feeling ill and shaky. The stress source went away but while going through this stress I noticed a ringing in one of my ears. The ringing isn't constant as it is for what I've...
