Yesterday I had my dad pick me up some disposable earplugs from the store. When he brought them home I saw how big they were and and decided that I didn't want them in my ears. Well I went against that instinct and tried them anyway. I put them in and took them out after a few seconds. I made...

Shrooms helping visual snow and tinnitus is one thing, which I think is plausible. Them actually treating hearing loss, though? It sounds so far fetched, but I have faith that something like this is possible. The science is so pitiful on Psilocybin, hearing loss, and the way nerves heal in...

Natural Ways to Increase GABA

Thank you for this answer. I'm taking Lamictal to possibly help with my DPDR. I might add an SSRI soon because I've read that they can work in Synergy for things like DPDR. I know that many on this board aren't fans of SSRI's and I'm not either but it's kind of an emergency for me. The awful...

I guess I'm asking if it's possible for synaptoptathy to heal on its own, or if it's likely to stay the same or even get worse over time. It's so upsetting because my cognition has dropped off a cliff as soon as the noise happened. I can only blame it on my brain taking in less sound and that's...

https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC4842978/ Here's the link to the study about injecting NT3 into Mice's ears. It mentions that BDNF could work as well.

Almost two months ago I was exposed to a loud and powerful sound from very up close. Since then my hearing has changed drastically. The quality of audio in both ears has taken a severe drop. People speaking is hard for me to understand way too often, Music sounds much flatter, it's hard for me...

So the conference is over, I guess Pipeline spoke at it. Does anyone know a way to find some kind of recording or transcript of the conference? Does anyone know anything about what they presented?

Well I have an appointment with the ENT tomorrow. They said they're doing a normal audio test as well as an ABR. Should I be worried about the Noise with the ABR? Could it help detect hidden hearing loss? I hope I get a chance to consult with the audiologist first. I kinda just want steroids...

This is abrupt and I know others have already answered this somehwhat. But can anyone give their opinion on if I should try to get Prednisone tomorrow and who I should call to get it? I think my current plan is to see my ENT tomorrow, do the tests and talk to him. I'm just worried that they'll...

Yeah I'm not sure if I'm just imagining it but if there's ANY damage to my inner ear hair cells or synapses just from the noise two days ago then I NEED to know that. It just seems so hard to get any kind of info about hidden hearing loss from an ENT or audiologist. I'm honestly probably just...

Yeah I know there's no test for it. That's why I'm worried that that sound fried my synapses and I wouldn't know. I'm worried that my test will come up find and apparently I don't need Prednisone but I actually could use it does that make sense? I definitely have trouble understanding people...

I feel like I'm probably leaving out something important. It's just that I've had problems in my left ear for possibly a couple years now. Just very slight static and fullness feeling. It escalated when I got my visual snow syndrome. And then the past month and week it has gotten worse. It just...

I read your other post about Meniere's and anxiety. Would a shot give the exact same side effects as taking it orally? I really wish there was more information about this stuff. Cause yeah I know it doesn't even work all the time but I am pretty open to trying it if it has a good chance to help...

We were in the car and my friend answered the phone. The phone played over the car speakers you know? Well the guy on the other end was saying some stuff, and he talks pretty loudly and he ended up sort of shouting the word "basket" right as my friend was turning up the volume. I'm honestly...

I'm seriously wondering if I'm supposed to be trying to get Prednisone as quickly as possible here. Could I really call the ER and tell them I was exposed to loud noise that I need these steroids ASAP? Do the shots have fewer side effects than the pills? I'm worried about my reaction to the...

I came in a month ago and then two days ago. First time I showed no hearing loss and the second time I had 25 decible hearing loss at between 125 hz and 250 hz. He said he would usually think I had SSHL but because of the way my symptoms progessed he thinks I might have meniere's. My usual...

Yesterday I was in the front passenger's seat of the car and someone called on the phone and my friend driving answered it and it played through the speakers. The person was talking and shouted the word "basket" as my friend was turning up the volume a lot and it was insanely loud. It must have...

Okay now I'm really freaking out, thinking about how I'm really close to or have already missed my change for Prednisone. I felt my ear pop and then ring the night of May 6. It turns out a pop and ring is a symptom of hearing loss. I can't tell if things are more muffled in my left ear but they...

I'm still freaking out over this. I'm desperately hoping it'll fade at least a tiny bit over the next couple weeks. Does anyone think that I could really go from mild static to a more piercing noise like that just from headphones? Even if it's technically "noise induced" does it for sure...

So I went to the ENT and he said that my hearing is fine even because the chart is fine up to 8000 hz even though I mentioned a high frequency or speech in noise tests. He said he didn't think steroids are a good idea because he's not sure how much they would help anyway. He did however say that...

@InfiniteLoop I think I was hesitant because I just wasn't sure if that kind of headphone use really counts as "acoustic" trauma. Would it really have damaged my choclea right then? I would imagine that the damage would have been gradual instead. Has anyone ever heard of someone's ear popping...

Wednesday night May 6. I felt a pop and got tinnitus in my left ear after using over ear headphones for a couple hours. I've had some kind of static in my left ear for a while before this but it was very manageable. I now have either a direct spike or a new tone that blends in with the static...

I have mild-moderate static/hissing noise that has been there since I got visual snow in September 2019. Well it used to be mild but it increased a bit since I used some headphones a week ago. My left ear popped and then all of a sudden I hear a more piercing version of the static. When I try...

I have visual snow and DPDR. I'm getting an MRI and bloodwork done to help possibly find the cause. I think when I first got visual snow back in September 2019 I also got a bit of background static noise. It didn't bother me much but I kept feeling like my left ear was feeling weird and like...

Alright so I've tried popping my ears a few times by closing my nose and swallowing and I'm pretty sure only my right ear will pop (my left ear is the one with the static). I'm becoming more sure that its somatic as well. When I move my jaw and neck certain ways the tone changes. I'm almost sure...

Thank you. I might have to just call around and ask if they do over 8khz. Can I just ask you, do you know anything about how somatic tinnitus might indicate what it's caused by? For example, is it common to have tinnitus caused by hearing loss that can be modulated by moving the neck and jaw...

What did the ENT tell you?

A couple nights ago I wore closed back over ear headphones for about 2 hours until I felt a pop in my left ear. The static that I've been hearing in my head for a while has been a good bit louder since. I feel pressure in my left ear and it seems like I can change the tone by moving my neck and...

A couple nights ago I was wearing closed back over ear headphones for about 2 hours until I felt a pop in my left ear. All of a sudden the static that I've been hearing in my head for a while is a good bit louder. It seems like I can change it by moving my neck and jaw. Is this likely caused by...

I'm starting to get more of a feeling in the inside of my left ear. Like sharp little feelings that come and go. It doesn't hurt too much but it's uncomfortable and it makes me wonder what's going on there. I'm feeling nauseous too. Could this be a sign of anything or is it normal from acoustic...

I'm imagining that because it's a static type noise instead of a ringing noise, it's most likely something physical in my ears and not hearing loss. But I'm not sure. When I went to the ENT a few weeks ago for my last type of tone, they said I had no earwax or fluid build up. I'm not sure if I...

Quick update. I tried popping my ears by holding my nose and blowing or swallowing, and it seems to reduce the static noise and the fullness in my ear. Is it safe to do this? I'm now thinking that this static/hissing and fullness in my left ear is just from ETD or TTTS or TMJ or something...

Hello. I was here before because I developed a version of tinnitus that was just a whistling noise that played over external sounds. There was hardly any constant noise that played when there wasn't any external noise. After I took a mini vacation however it lowered down to nearly nothing. I was...

Yes and I'm lucky for it. It's just weird cause even when I can't hear it, I can feel it and bothers me :( my tinnitus is strange and I'm trying to figure it out.

I'd really like an answer to this as I'm experience almost the same thing. I can barely hear my tinnitus when it's silent. But when there's a fan of something similar going, there's a high pitched whistle over top of it. It's weird because even when I can't hear it it it seems like I can always...

Thank you. So the idea I'm getting is that manual removal is safer than microsuction or irrigation. Are irrigation and syringing the same thing? I read that there's risks associated with earwax removal with manual tools to. Is there anything I can do to best protect and prepare myself? Thanks.

I just got mild ringing in my left ear a week ago. My fear is that it's hearing damage. I have an appointment with the ear doctor on Monday, and I wanna have them check for anything wrong with my ears. I feel like I've felt pressure in my ears, especially my left one for a while now anyway. I...

Yeah I think it was definitely me mostly being paranoid. I I'm just so scared about my tinnitus situation overall. It was louder at first I think, when I could feel it working to make my head numb/not hurt, but it seems to be wearing off, and with it the ringing is pretty much at a normal volume...

Almost 5 hours ago I took one Aleve pill for a headache I was having, and then had the idea of looking up how it can affect tinnitus. Turns out, it's famously an Ototoxic drug. Several minutes later the ringing in my ear when I plug it seems to be higher pitched and more "violent" (don't know...

Anyone ever try Etifoxine for Visual Snow or Tinnitus? It's hits the same GABAergic receptors that benzos do, but in a different spot, so it isn't addictive, sedative, no harmful withdrawals. If you look it up you can buy legally in the USA from over the counter websites. I'm trying to get my...

Has anyone ever heard of weed causing hearing loss, tinnitus, or hyperacusis? At 4am about a week ago I smoked a lot of weed at once and probably just a couple minutes later I heard a loud ringing in my left ear. It definitely freaked me out but I'm not sure I consciously noticed it at first...

I've read about hearing loss often being caused by the neurons in the choclea dying or becoming detached from the hair cells. Do you really think they can be regenerated by magnesium or otherwise?

Has anyone tried it? I'm planning to order it from the OTC online store once I can get my hands on some Bitcoin. Since people say Benzos help and this hits the same receptor, I'm hopeful that it'll help.
