That’s true, but there are also several instances where a child screamed in someone’s ear, and then, bam—problems began. Many people working in schools and preschools also experience these issues. I sometimes wonder if the children themselves might be damaging each other’s hearing. I saw an old...

I also hate the feeling of regret. It’s exhausting to know there’s no way to change the past, yet the mind keeps replaying it over and over again. But I believe it usually does get better with time. I’m sorry to hear you’re not doing well (I’m in the same boat, unfortunately). I wish you all...

Thank you so much for asking, but unfortunately, I’m feeling worse than ever due to my two setbacks this year, which I’ve described here: → Sound Annoyance and Worse Tinnitus After Out in a Loud Venue (Measured at 97 dB) for One Hour Before this spring, I was actually doing reasonably well...

This sounds similar to how my distortions have been behaving for nearly three weeks now. Normal sound levels are fine, but just a small increase above that causes distortions. It’s sad to hear that it’s been four months for you and it’s still not better. :( I agree—it’s unbelievable that a...

Thank you so much for your support. According to my research, it's most likely that the hair cells in the cochlea are damaged if you're experiencing hearing distortions. Unfortunately, fixing this would require hair cell regeneration, which is still 10-20 years away. At least I can hopefully...

Thank you so much for asking how I feel, @Vezzy. I've improved a bit since May (took about two months), but I still experience occasional fullness and pain. The sensitivity to sound is better, but not great—I still need earmuffs just to do the dishes. @matt89, I'm sorry to hear about your...

This! That’s a nice way to describe it. For me, it doesn’t happen that often, but I’ve definitely experienced that a few times.

Such a kind message. Thank you for taking the time to write it. I'm really struggling right now. I've been dealing with intrusive tinnitus for three years and back pain for two years. The back pain is manageable now, but the tinnitus is still a constant struggle. I recently made a mistake that...

Sorry, what is GP/PCP in this case?

Thanks. But actually, I kind of knew... That's why I feel this bottomless remorse. :( Thanks for your suggestions!

I don't know where to start this because it feels unreal. And I blame myself 1000% for knowing better and not acting accordingly. I have been suffering from tinnitus for about three years (well, actually longer, but the intrusive tinnitus affecting me during the day is about three years). Also...

I'm a certified moron! 12 days ago I ended up in a loud venue. Didn't have my earplugs. Left early (so I thought). Things are worse. :(

@Egg, how are you now?

I managed to do this 12 days ago. I wasn't really habituated—tinnitus annoyed me for large parts of the day, but in some situations and environments, I could forget about it. I still can't believe what I did. :( I went out without my earplugs. I rarely go out, and my sound sensitivity was...

I can say that I seem to be back to the "normal" crap when it comes to my tinnitus sound, so at least all that happened in conjunction with trying AudioCardio was temporary. I still likely won't give it a go again.

I've been trying AudioCardio for a few days now and, if anything, I'm thinking it made my tinnitus worse (could be other reasons of course). It's as if my high-pitched tinnitus has started to sound a little like the sound one hears during the hearing assessment in the app. :( I don't think I...

I wonder if it also heals any tinnitus they might have gotten in conjunction with the hearing loss? If we could detect and measure their tinnitus before and after the hearing loss gets healed, we might have the answer! :) If tinnitus is only a brain problem (even the kind that got triggered in...

One would think a good start is to wake the stem cell-like cells in the inner ear to do their thing again, which, according to the Hearing Health Foundation, will be possible even if there is years of more research to be done.

Quoting myself here, but I think my tinnitus is quite nasty again, despite my back also having ”tinnitus” (some pain and discomfort). Maybe I should give Tinnitus Mix a try again.

I can report that my high pitched, most annoying tinnitus feels a bit lower in volume and more in the background of my consciousness than before since a couple of weeks. Less feeling of "laser in head" too. So not good, but better. I did go ahead and listen to David's Tinnitus Mix using the...

Sorry. I was looking for posts about “visual snow” and found the one I quoted. I’ll be quiet. :censored:

Seems I’m joining the club. :( I’ve been noticing a kind of shimmering over the entire visual field, visual snow and a couple of floaters for a few days now. I’ve had low frequency drone/hum tinnitus in my head since December 2020, and a high pitch “cicada stuck at one frequency” (that...

I feel the same. I've tried to talk to people. Gone to several therapists. Even people who are supposed to be specialized in tinnitus. But no one seems to understand. They seem to think tinnitus is in one way and that's it. A sound you can learn to ignore or get used to. Well, it's not that...

Happens to me too. Clear spike when crying.

I still don't dare to try. People get tinnitus from sleeping with headphones and we are attempting to try and cure it by sleeping with headphones. o_O

Really annoying that the tinnitus makes it hard to know if one is getting sick or if it's just a variation/worsening of the baseline. :(

Feel like shite. Damn permanent and constant conditions!

I filled it in. I think it would be good if more than one kind of tinnitus could have been chosen. I have three sounds, but only two that are really bothersome and, of those two, it's one that is truly debilitating. But for the survey I naturally chose to answer questions about the sound that...

Any updates to share?

Isn’t this a bit contradictory, or am I missing something? The brain reacts to the hearing loss (but not for everyone with hearing loss) by producing a phantom sound. Hearing loss often originates in the cochlea, right? Then how is the tinnitus not related to the cochlea?

@Brian Newman, I emailed a little back and forth with Ashley Everett of Hough Ear Institute mentioning this thread and that some here are suspicious about Hough Ear Institute’s intentions. I also mentioned you Brian and that you seem to have a really hard time (I have a hard time myself...

The only thing that can be worse than this must be chronic pain. Now I managed to get myself lower back pain that won't go. Thanks life. :(

:cry: So sad. Can there be som good news soon, please?

I posted this concern to the researcher Amrita who responded: “You are right. Several medicines that are shown to work in mice do not work in humans. As far as gene therapy is concerned my work above is a very small piece of a large puzzle. The remaining pieces will explore regeneration of...

That is a very good point. I guess many of us have experienced temporary tinnitus when our ears have been exposed to loud sounds such as a night out at a club or something with similar sound levels and later on, after the ears have gotten some rest, the tinnitus has gone away. More promising...

But never any mention about it helping for tinnitus. :( Please tell me that it might.

Yes, that’s a pretty nice feature of all “Apple Silicon” Macs – they can run iOS/iPadOS apps. Good luck with the app! Hope it helps.

I don't know. I thought it was interesting to read Stuart's input even if it didn't work for him. Thanks for the info here – worth a try absolutely. If it helps the tinnitus I'm prepared to sacrifice quite a lot.

Unfortunately development of OTO-313 was canceled this August. No better than placebo it seems. :(

That first paragraph by David Albert: ”The particular, eternally persisting, elementary physical stuff of the world, according to the standard presentations of relativistic quantum field theories, consists (unsurprisingly) of relativistic quantum fields. And the fundamental laws of this theory...

”A Universe from Nothing: Why There Is Something Rather than Nothing is a non-fiction book by the physicist Lawrence M. Krauss, initially published on January 10, 2012 by Free Press. It discusses modern cosmogony and its implications for the debate about the existence of God. The main theme of...

I’ve heard of that argument before. I think it makes several unfounded assumptions. Here’s a refutation of it: ”The famous novelist C. S. Lewis developed a fascinatingee argument which aimed to discredit naturalism and prove the existence of God. It is called the argument from reason. Although...

What do you think life has been like historically for people when it comes to getting hold of food and providing for one’s family to be able to survive? Hardly anytime for thumb-rolling or abstract thinking. Egocentric wars and conflicts (I agree at least parts of humanity often focuses on not...

Sorry, but the the only thing that melts my brain is that you think it's reasonable to refer to the Genesis when trying to understand the universe. The most objective ”truth” we have when it comes to understanding the universe comes from science in form of evidence.

Fuck tinnitus!!! Noooooooo it can't be true but it is!!!! (Sorry, at times I'm close to loosing it… Daily in fact.)

I don't get it. Shouldn't we in that case be more concerned about the radiation from light bulbs and the Sun since they have higher wavelength than the radio waves from Wi-Fi?

I so want to try it – have bought the Koss KTX-PRO1 and also have a doughnut pillow, but I'm still afraid of having headphones with sound on all night. For example @Michael Leigh recommends to never use headphones again if you have tinnitus. But you've done it all night for 21 years! :eek: I am...

How long do you think it would take to notice an improvement if I’ve had tinnitus for one and a half years? Do your ears feel okay after a whole night of listening to Tinnitus Mix with headphones? When are the hair cells supposed to rest if not when sleeping? Maybe you have it very quiet...
