Hi @FrankFoe! I'm not sure which part of Canada you live in, but in Mississauga there is a Rapid Access Clinic, which you may find helpful; though an audiologist might be more helpful. I was able to get an appointment with an ENT in less than a week. There is also a tinnitus clinic (Metro...

Hey @Sonic17. Not sure where in Canada you reside, but in Mississauga there is an orthopedic surgeon (Heal Sports Medicine) that performs prolotherapy and PRP (see link below). I have had a consultation with him for my thumb (covered by OHIP) and scans indicate tendonitis. He quoted me $200 for...

@pleasejuststop, can I ask where your chronic pain stems from? I have chronic neck/shoulder pain and cervicogenic migraines. Just wondering if an upper cervical chiropractor could help you. Hope you're having a good day (or at least okay)! :)

My right ear is worse in terms of damage. My tinnitus is bilateral (in my head) except when it is quiet, when I can tell that it is coming from my right ear. Mine is like static and is sometimes so quiet I don't notice it (1/3 of the time). The other 1/3 it is louder and annoying, and the...

There are no words really; life can be so fragile. Be in peace Brian <3

Hi @IntotheBlue03 ! Have you tried an upper cervical chiro? It can be a slow process, but I found great success with my chronic neck pain/migraines. Until I had the second vax that is. There are a few options to have your C1 corrected, including NUCCA, Atlasprofilax, etc. Please let me know how...

Hi @AnthonyMcDonald! Wow, that is great news! I've read a few of you posts and know what a tough time you have been having. Even if we still have to deal with these health issues, when there is an improvement it really does bring a lot of gratitude and hope that it can get better. So happy for...

Hi @hartstreet et al! I had the AtlasPROfilax last Tuesday. I feel like it's early days, and I don't want to jinx things (although I'm not really a superstitious person), but I have definitely experienced some improvements, although I feel it's a bit premature to say for sure (I've been burned...

Hi @creoena! If you've pulled a muscle then I think physical therapy might help (although that seems to be the source of your issues). You mention that it isn't vascular, so that is good. If you think that your atlas vertebrae might have been knocked out of place, which is very possible, then...

@creoena, I would strongly suggest you get some serious care for your neck, i.e. an upper cervical chiropractor, NUCCA chiropractor, or even better Atlas Orthogonal or AtlasPROfilax treatment.

Hi everyone! I am scheduled to have an Atlasprofilax treatment next week. I was wondering if anyone here has tried it and what your results were. Thank you for sharing. Sarah

Hi again @hartstreet! I would say that we've both found pretty much everything there is on the AtlasPROfilax treatment. My appointment isn't until January, but I am a bit skeptical as the practitioner who offers it is a Naturopath, not a Chiro, so that concerns me a bit. He also doesn't seem...

I will absolutely not get the booster shot, I don't give a shit. I've had COVID-19 and two vaccinations - I sincerely don't believe another dose is going to help me in anyway. I've been lucky that my tinnitus did not worsen and I am so sorry for those people that like me, did the right thing and...

Hi @hartstreet! I am planning to have my AtlasPROfilax treatment in early January; I could've had it sooner but I wanted to fully research it first. Now that I've done quite a bit of research I cannot wait! I don't want to put unrealistic expectations on it, but the chronic pain and migraines I...

Hi @Jazzer! I totally agree, it does sound a bit creepy, doesn't it? I guess since it has such a happy tune I didn't really notice that part. Plus I just really like Christmas. :) Hope you're keeping well despite everything.

'Tis the Season! My favourite line is 'rooty-toot toots and rummy-tum tums'. Enjoy! "Santa Claus Is Coming To Town" You better watch out You better not cry Better not pout I'm telling you why Santa Claus is comin' to town, gather 'round He's making a list And checking it twice; He's gonna...

I just had my second Pfizer shot last week, and while there has been no change in my tinnitus, it did result in a horrible week long migraine (as did the first vaxx, as well as when I had COVID-19 in February this year). I was made to feel like a social pariah if I didn't get my vaccine...

Just watched The Fly (1986) last night. I forgot how grotesque it is! Highly recommend.

Hi @LindaS! I am happy to read that things seem to be going well for you at the Metro Hearing Clinic - I know you have had a rough time of it. I sincerely hope that things continue to improve and that you are getting your life back. Please let us know how it is going - I am thinking of going...

Hi @Jon R.! Sorry to hear you're going through this. I understand trying to do the right thing and then getting f***ed up because of it. Can I ask was it the first dose or second of the vax? I am concerned it will cause worsening of tinnitus and other health issues. Thanks!

I've listened to many genres of music over the years, and during covid I decided to try country music, which never really appealed to me before. I currently am listening to 40s, 50s and 60s - think Roger Miller, Patsy Cline and Hank Williams. I used to think it was all depressing, but find much...

Hi @Brian P! Just wondering if you've every tried seeing an upper cervical chiropractor? There are many articles on how Ménière's symptoms can be significantly reduced. I sincerely hope things start improving for you. <3

Hi @Forever hopeful! I just thought I would let you know that I got the Pfizer vaccine last week, and although I felt like shit the next day, I was feeling better after that and it didn't have any effect on my tinnitus. TBH though, I don't have fluctuating or reactive tinnitus, so my...

Hi from a fellow Barrovian! I lived there from 2000-2004, but am back in Canada now. How's life in the world's longest cul-de-sac? lol :) ~Sarah

Hi everyone! I have had tinnitus since November 2019 - it is variable and changes volume from day to day. It resets when I sleep and ranges from unnoticeable to heard above most things like TV, etc (running water and being outside mask it well on the loud days). It's measured at 1 kHz @ 25 dB...

Hi Aaron, I read that you started using nortriptyline last year for migraines. I am considering doing the same but am worried it will worsen my tinnitus. Do you think this may have been a factor? What dose are you on? Sorry to hear about your situation - you're not alone. :)

Hi @aot! 'The Colony' (on Netflix). Lots of suspense, good story line and zombies! It think you'll like it! :)

Hi Luna! What can I say? t sucks! I'm sure even worse with hearing loss on top. How are you managing? :)
