A whole year endured with its many ups and downs. The future remains uncertain as ever. Wishing the best for all going forward. Persevere.

I will report that I recently just finished a bottle of Thorne's B-Complex #12, taking one a day, in the morning, no food, and a glass of water. No noticeable changes occurred over this period, though I should note I was taking other supplements as well. I am hesitant to continue trying it...

I agree. As shitty a thing it is to do, it's also pretty shitty to have to live with such debilitating conditions. The responsibility is really on the biotech like Frequency Therapeutics to ensure they can properly detect and screen out possible fakers (or exaggerators).

Unfortunately, there is no straightforward answer to this. The absolute riskiest you can be is to follow the guidelines for normal, healthy ears, which you may find at this link by the CDC, though keep in mind that this chart is not law and could be too strict or too loose for some people. The...

Just spent the last hour or so catching up on posts since the news dropped. I know I'm a bit late to the party, but I thought it was going to be this Thursday instead. I was utterly shocked when I checked $FREQ and saw it brought down to single-digits. The feeling in my chest echoed the sharp...

My personal recommendation is that under no circumstance should you go out in public where you anticipate loud noises and not have hearing protection, at least for a few more months. I know exactly what you mean by things getting intensified to a high degree with them inside, and it makes going...

It was crushing to hear about OTO-413's postponement, but it was devastating to hear about FX-322's disaster. Where is the hope?

All this means to me is that it's a good idea to buy, buy, buy as it'll inevitably shoot to the moon after the successful results! (Kidding, of course.)

I've got an update to share with those who are interested. Unfortunately, I am not yet cured of this nuisance, but I do perceive that I am making personal improvements, even if slightly, as the weeks go on. Noise Evaluation and Emotional Response Unfortunately, I don't think there's really been...

Coming back to report that I had tried two bottles of the above Valerian Root and can report that I received no measurable benefit from taking it, either in terms of reducing the intensity of the noise or improving my mood or emotional response. It is very possible that you simply need to build...

No success story to report just yet, but I am making progress in handling it all day-to-day. Small improvements will ultimately coalesce.

I'd checked FREQ's stock history today and thought after seeing the decline that results had been posted and weren't favorable, but I'm relieved to see that isn't the case. I guess this is just the typical volatility of a biomed offering. We're almost there folks. Really hoping and praying that...

It's quite a relief to hear that you've been doing better than the update from the middle of February. I had worried after reading that, but it's great to see you're making improvements now and are on the way up. Time seems to be serving you well.

It's truly ridiculous how easy it is to develop tolerances to things that may or may not help but it's much harder to tolerate the actual problem.

Hallo, Leila! Welcome to the forums. I am truly sorry to hear about the origins of your symptom. I personally visit a chiropractor myself, and I actually look forward to the setting of the neck as that tends to clear up strain I've been having due to my poor posture. It is terrible to hear that...

Any noteworthy effect on your anxiety and/or sleeping quality? This is mostly what I'm taking the glycinate for at the moment, as well as any hearing protection it may provide.

Starting today, I'm going to pull back from this forum as part of my effort to set my mind straight. Inbox remains open for chat if needed.

Not a bad idea! The whole world could benefit from some COVID-19 immunity. Maybe then things would all go back to normal? ;) I do recommend that you stop using the Magnesium Oxide and elect for a better alternative. That is almost universally regarded as the worst and least bioavailable form...

Why, thank you! I typically like to use a wide variety of avatars, but I've taken quite a liking to this one. That's unfortunate to hear that she doesn't know what caused it, but it's still a great positive that she managed to get through it all the same. I echo your sentiment in the sense that...

You are absolutely right. I had already had problems with mishandling stress, anxiety, and depression before onset, so to deal with this unwieldy symptom on top of that has truly exacerbated some of my worse qualities. I am extremely fortunate I am not prone to suicidal ideation, but I can't...

I have not yet reintroduced it after having halted all my supplements (besides Magnesium and Melatonin) a couple weeks ago, so I can't definitely speak to its effect. I do know, based on research, that it is primarily a tool to protect your hearing. Not sure I've seen many people claim a...

Fascinating to hear, and this serves as yet another addition to the wealth of hopeful stories going forward. Do you know what might have caused her symptom in the first place, that is, was it from noise-induced damage, trauma, ototoxicity, etc.? I'm not really sure how much the cause has to do...

Hey coravori. I am really sorry to hear about how much this has been affecting you, despite the progress you had been making in terms of habituation. Unless you've had any major traumas you can think of recently, as in within the last two weeks, or have ingested anything potentially harmful to...

Interesting. I don't generally hear about many people getting their symptom from white nose. @buttercake is the only one that immediately comes to mind, but his came after listening at long periods. It's more likely that you might have just gotten a spike from experiencing these specific...

Wow. I'm not even sure where to start here. I am dreadfully sorry to hear about your case, Tsahvan. It's good you have made an effort to reach out. Just reading slightly into your genetic condition is beyond terrible. You've been bombarded by health condition after health condition. It's truly...

Hello, Rie! I'm really sorry to hear about both you and your wife having to deal with this symptom. I hope that hears is merely fleeting. As for you, there is still a chance that yours will go away or lessen to an insignificant extent given how early into it you are. I completely empathize your...

Hi there! The brand of NAC that I am using is the one from Thorne, which you may find here. The only other "additive" I see from this is the silicon dioxide. The same goes for the offering from Jarrow Formulas. Both of these organizations are generally well-regarded, so I don't think you should...

Thank you very much! I'll keep this in mind going forward. One of the last things I want to do is take supplements and not have them properly absorbed/utilized due to prerequisites I'm not meeting or situations in which they should and shouldn't be taken.

Does this mean I should be taking my Magnesium Glycinate with a glass of milk? I've just been doing it with water. I had no idea about this potential need for Calcium as well. Do you have an estimated value on what may be "too much Vitamin A"? I am going to be taking it as a supplement since my...

Giving heavy consideration to having February be a detox month in which I try to avoid potential triggers for anxiety and negative stimuli.

I personally take 400 mg a day. Anything between 200 mg and 400 mg should be fine. I suppose it would depend on your body composition, tolerance, diet, and use case though.

You are far too early in your condition to contemplate something so frightening and final. There is still much to try and much to potentially expect from waiting it out. Please do not do anything rash. Your life is valuable beyond measure, regardless of how upended it may feel at the moment...

Haha, I can't say I have! I just don't like to see people suffering, and when I feel as if I can offer words of advice or support to help mitigate their situation, I will. No payment necessary! :angelic: I honestly do wish I could compel myself to take my own advice.

I know you've already heard from me a little bit on the matter, but I'll offer some additional and hopefully comforting thoughts. Firstly, while it's possible this scream might have aggravated your condition, it doesn't mean that it will be a chronic aggravation either. People tend to have...

Hey Luke. It is very possible nasal steroids might help you in this case. When this symptom results from ETD or infections, I've seen sprays help out in those instances. My ENT had even prescribed me some since I described some days where my ears felt itchy, but I'm not sure I'll go through...

Ear infections, when promptly addressed, tend to have good prognoses going forward. They can take longer time than anticipated to clear up, as well as the subsequently associated tinnitus. The fact that you are experiencing improvements in terms of it getting quieter is a very good sign. There...

Curiously, would sweeping tests be effective measures? Say instead of the typical "here is X frequency and Y volume, press button when you hear it", why not sweep through ranges at different volumes and then have the patient press the button when they experience difficulty or notice a chance...

No, I'm pretty sure it's an off-label use. I would only say it's "indicated" as far as doctors really have nothing else to consider giving their patients besides supplements and herbals. Amitriptyline has been used to varying degrees of success in some studies, and its function in the brain may...

I completely understand how you feel. A lot of your situation, both in terms of your comorbidities and the symptom itself, are present in my case as well. The sudden onset out of nowhere is already a surprise attack, and then you're left with annoying pest that is hard to avoid. As someone that...

Hey there, Syb. What specifically are you hoping for Magnesium to do? If you want to take it simply in order to boost your Magnesium levels in case of a deficiency, then I would just take any one of the more bioavailable forms. As far as I can tell, anything that isn't oxide is alright in that...

Anyone else have those days where you know you're very anxious, yet at the same time, it feels as if you're okay? Functionally distressed?

Välkommen, Phinehas! Thank you for taking the time to join the forum and tell us a bit about yourself. I am very sorry to hear that you have not only dealt with this symptom for so long but have recently experienced a spike of some sort. When it comes to headphones, there are generally two...

I may be misreading the situation, but I might have something to add here. My audiologist mentioned something to the effect of people not hearing as well through headphones. I seemed to have some trouble hearing the tones at some frequencies there, so she inserted some probes into my ear to...

Hi there, Nicole! During PMS, it is possible that you could be experiencing higher blood pressure than normal. Have you been able to connect any other instances where your blood pressure is high and when you experience spikes, such as during exercise or other rigorous activity? If so, this may...

I can't speak to any certainty how long anyone's spike may last, but I would assume ones as a result of specific meals would take less than a week. Your body should reset itself and move along to the more recent meals you consume. The best way from what I can tell to eliminate any lingering...

Very sorry to have taken this long to reply. Both today and yesterday have been awkward to uncomfortable for me due to my issues, and I wanted to get back to you when I could manage a proper response. I'm really sorry to hear that regarding both your experience and your friend's. I must say...

I do see a chiropractor weekly, mostly in an attempt to focus on my back. I don't think he's really doing a lot to adjust my neck aside from a cracking. I will need to ask next week if there's more he could do, because I am starting to worry more and more that I have neck problems which require...

Hmm, certainly interesting. I did pay particular notice to the line that stated "Hearing loss is often reversible". I'd very much like to know how that's the case. :p You are probably right, and it is probably fair that I am just overreacting, at least when it comes to Acetaminophen. I think...

Welcome! Firstly, I'm glad to hear your sleeping is in good order. This is, as I'm sure you're aware, a big help in terms of keeping things stable and your body in good condition. It may or may not help the anxiety, but poor sleep is almost sure to exacerbate it to some extent. According to...
