Thanks for the link. I've heard turmeric especially has been known to contain lead, so I'll try not to overdue it. Taking 2g occasionally at most, hopefully this helps.

I stupidly took 2 grams of curcumin (2g of curcumin, not 2g of turmeric) after a loud noise exposure. Am I going to die?

Cool. Taking 300 mg for now. Would it be risky to try a higher "therapeutic" dose? I couldn't find a lot of studies, and wasn't sure if taking a higher dose was worth any risk. Just really concerned about this noise exposure from yesterday...

Try taking some NAC, and Nicotinamide Riboside. They both can be found at any supplement store. May help reduce oxidative stress which might help your hearing heal. But really, try not to worry. The brain has a massive effect on tinnitus, both its loudness, and intensity. The auditory system...

Just had a loud noise exposure. What is the recommended dose for Nicotinamide Riboside?

I give up. It is literally impossible to avoid dangerous sounds. Every single day, my hearing is just that much closer to 0

FUCK FUCK FUCK FUCK

In 7 years of very loud tinnitus, last night was the first time I was able to sleep without any masking. Perfectly quiet room. Stay positive

Anyone know if NAC is known to contain lead like many other supplements? Having a really hard time finding good info about which supplements contain lead, and which ones don't. Might just stop taking them altogether unless I can find some solid info. :/ Currently taking Jarrow Formula's 500mg...

About to lose my job from this! Just when things where getting so much better, it somehow gets worse again :(

Awesome, this makes me feel much better! You never know for sure, but they do seem pretty legit, and confident behind their products. Gonna go find some of this and try it out. Much appreciated!

Awesome. Thank you for this. I still think it's not worth the risk. Never know if a company will suddenly source Turmeric from another supplier, and the risk of intaking any amount of lead is just not worth it to me. Sucks because it really seems to help.

My doctor ordered a CT scan, despite my last MRI (no dye) showing no issues. I have experienced SSHL in my right ear, which recovered (at least mostly) on its own in 24 hours. My right ear has a slight loss in the lower frequencies compared to the left, and has slightly worse tinnitus in the...

There are dozens of articles online about spices being traded worldwide possibly containing lead, which is of course extremely toxic to the nervous system. My ears are inflamed, and turmeric seems to help. This is the bottle I got from Whole Foods here in the US. Can someone please somehow...

99.99999% chance you triggered a fight or flight anxiety response. It's the biggest reason we see posts like these. Try to relax, you'll be fine. If it calms your mind, take some antioxidant supplements for any inflammation, and some vitamins.

IT support in an office (or at home). Safe from all hazardous noises. Unless that damn fire alarm goes off again -_-

This is a good point, however I'm trying to do what I can during the acute phase of this spike for best chance of recovery. I've been through several spikes, and they usually reside on their own, but this is more precautionary I suppose.

I'm experiencing a bit of a tinnitus spike these past couple of days, and I have been taking 1200 mg of NAC, some Magnesium, Alpha Lipoic Acid, C, D3, and some multivitamins. I heard that Glutathione may help some, and I may add in some A, B, E, Selenium... But, my question is, at what point...

I'm going to go out and get some of these and see if it helps. What dosages are you taking?

I agree. Thankfully the majority of my tinnitus is (probably) not caused from hearing loss, but other issues with my health. I think those with noise induced tinnitus have a harder time changing their tinnitus severity. Let me know if the D3 ends up helping you if you do decide to take it.

I'm sure it wouldn't hurt short term, but I'm no doctor. Is your tinnitus affected easily by factors such as your diet, sleep, stress, etc? My tinnitus can be easily worsened by a poor diet, lack of sleep, and many other things. Because tinnitus is so complicated, I don't believe that any one...

It was either 1,000 IU or 2,000 IU. I wouldn't go too crazy with it. I took 1,000 IU today, and my tinnitus seems quieter, but again I really can't say if it's due to the D3 or not. My tinnitus intensity varies wildly throughout the day, and is affected by lots of factors. I may try taking it on...

About a week ago, I took Magnesium, D3, and C all at once, and noticed a significant reduction in my tinnitus. If I had to guess, it was mostly from the Vitamin D, as I do not take this often. Could have been placebo. I haven't been taking many supplements recently, but I'll try the vitamin D...

My RBC (Red Blood Cells) is a bit high as shown in my recent blood test. I have been taking very high doses of Vitamin B12 almost daily. Could this be a factor?

Yeah I'm sure I'll be fine.

What's the best dosage of NAC for acoustic trauma? I have 600mg NAC capsules. Should I take two, despite the bottle saying to take one? Is it worth going up to 1000mg capsules?

Sorry to revive an old thread, but you guys sound ridiculous! This is not some crazy phenomenon, tinnitus spikes after a shower because you are abruptly removing the masking sound when the water is shut off. This is extremely common, and is simply a fight or flight response. Tinnitus gets louder...

Because you are no longer being masked by the sound of the shower, this is very normal, and super common.

I feel like people are underestimating the potential here. You are literally inserting a microcontroller into the brain, that we already know is capable of writing/reading data within the brain. Regardless of what it will treat, and when, this is already providing us a brand new platform for...

The implant successfully read precise limb movements in a pig's brain.

Just the fact that it's a prosthetic doesn't tell us anything about its potential. A microphone works pretty damn well, surely better than human ears. If we can just make the right connections within the auditory cortex, boom, problem solved. Not saying it will be easy, but we have very strong...

Bump.

F*cking tired of trying to get an appointment with an ENT. Stupid doctors, stupid receptionists. I don't even care anymore. Prednisone is not a realistic treatment to consider. It may as well not exist. F*cking tired of this.

Here's your answer; sodium. stay away from it.

Anyone know of any good ENTs in the Seattle area? Sick and tired of seeing incompetent ENTs and doctors who don't know anything about tinnitus. Having a really hard time getting Prednisone within a reasonable amount of time, and this is stressing me out. Thanks.

Respectfully, you still haven't given any reasoning or evidence as to why it would have a poor outcome. You're just stating that it would likely have a poor outcome. The entire nervous system/brain works by sending/receiving electrical signals. The device is literally a computer that...

What is that?

Hearing loss, and even deafness is one of the main things they look to treat, which they talked about in their recent presentation (I would highly recommend you check it out). Essentially a microphone would send inputs to the auditory cortex, giving deaf people the ability to hear again, and...

Yeah you’re probably right. I just measured it with my SPL meter and read 94 dB. I’m sure it wasn’t more than 100 dB at most when accounting for inaccuracies in this cheap meter. 3 seconds of exposure to 100 dB probably isn’t worth the health risks included with taking steroids. Never know.

I took Prednisone for about 6 days, then stopped for 2 days, started again with one full dose and a 6-day taper. Finished the taper I believe on the 31st, so like, 6 days ago. Too soon to start another round? I have 4 days worth sitting around. I was exposed to a few seconds of a loud car...

Difficult, but not impossible. This kind of negative thinking is horrible for those with sever tinnitus (like myself), and should be avoided. I've been able to significantly reduce the volume of my tinnitus by breaking this cycle. The mind is very powerful, and anxiety has a HUGE effect on...

I agree that it probably won't treat tinnitus for quite some time. I still think there's a good chance it will beat other potential cures to the chase for the following reasons; - As for the evidence, the device has already been successfully implanted in several pigs, and the recent demo has...

I believe Neuralink is our greatest hope for a cure. Elon states that Neurolink, in principle, can fix anything that is wrong with the brain. This makes sense, as the brain (at a high level) works by sending electrical signals. The implant has already proven successful at reading precise limb...
