    Poll: If Your Tinnitus Fluctuates Daily, Does Sunlight Affect Your Tinnitus Loudness?

    I found this old post while searching for "sunlight". At this point I can definitely state that exposure to sunlight positively affect my tinnitus. I have a lot of pre/post exposure data point that I can even normalize by other dimensions (street level, physical activity, diet etc). If I...

    Effectiveness of Intratympanic Dexamethasone With Lidocaine (Lignocaine) for Alleviation of Tinnitus

    I recently received a shot of Lidocaine next to the left ear as part of a root canal procedure, and it completely silenced my tinnitus for several hours and lowered the intensity for several more. It took more than 24 hours to go back to baseline. I'd definitely take a hyper-target shit of...

    Will Short-Term Vicodin Use Make Tinnitus Worse?

    Hello Tinnitus Talk community! I recently underwent surgery and my doctor prescribed Vicodin to mitigate the pain (which is really bothering me right now, making it difficult to sleep and operate functionally). The course should only last for 5-6 days (until the pain become more manageable) but...

    Mind sharing the name of the Santa Monica clinic? That's where I live and was considering this option as well.

    @kuromi that's great to hear! Sometimes when I get frustrated in the evening I remind myself that my current worst is better than the older best. That thought keeps me hoping I am on a path of further recovery. Best of luck!

    same here! I wake up with near to no tinnitus and to a much smoother tone too. As time goes by throughout the day it start to get louder and it usually peaks at around bed time. I still see it as an improvement since until only a few months ago the volume was pretty much the same morning...

    Transcranial Stimulation Treatments (rTMS & tDCS & tACS)

    I'm on the same boat: 20 dB dip at 4 kHz from using earphones. I didn't have any acoustic trauma and had stopped using earphones a few months prior to the sudden offset (happened during the lockdown and didn't go out much in that period.). My ENT however attributed my tinnitus onset to that dip...

    Frequency Therapeutics — Hearing Loss Regeneration

    This is just based on my intuition, but I think that once they got the molecule right, improving the delivery mechanism - as hard as it can be - will either be a problem of lower magnitude, or one that they will be extremely motivated in solving.

    New University of Michigan Tinnitus Discovery — Signal Timing

    I did an MRI a couple months ago. I was wearing earplugs + earmuffs that they provided which made the experience manageable (although still stressful). Personally I find loud high-frequency sounds to be the worst for my tinnitus, while the sounds in the MRI seemed to mostly be lower...

    Kava Kava for Tinnitus — Post Your Experience!

    Just tried micronized Kava root by Kalm with Kava for the first time. Mixed it with almond milk and drank it on an empty stomach. It didn't do much for my tinnitus but it made me feel more relaxed and a tiny bit high, which is quite the accomplishment in and on itself since THC is not an...

    New Sleeping/Insomnia Medicine: Dayvigo (Lemborexant) — Here's My Experience

    I tried it last night and had a terrible experience with it! I ended up experiencing sleep paralysis (which was really terrorizing) and barely caught any sleep. Dayvigo is definitely a hard pass for me.

    Frequency Therapeutics — Hearing Loss Regeneration

    FX-322 has shown results in word recognition scores. Isn't that a function of hearing health at lower frequencies, and already proof that FX-322 can be beneficial also for the lower frequencies? I have mild hearing loss in the 4 kHz - 5 kHz range so I really hope that is in fact the case...

    Please Provide Perspective on Tinnitus Spiking Easily — Pivotal Job Decision

    I am in a fast-forwarded position relative to yours: I accepted that super stressful, high-paying and highly gratifying job around a year ago but I am currently wondering how long I will be able to keep it. My tinnitus started 6 months ago during a period of extremely high stress at work. I...

    Kava Kava for Tinnitus — Post Your Experience!

    I am considering testing it myself as I have responded incredibly well to benzos the handful of times I've tried. @GBB what time of the day do you usually take it? Does it affect your sleep at all? Thanks!

    How to Be Assertive to Others About Tinnitus without Being Called a Weirdo or Rude?

    Just found myself in the barber/hairdresser situation yesterday. I put my earbuds on after he washed my hair and told him I was really sensitive to even slightly loud high-pitched sounds so I had to wear them to protect ears, but that I could still hear them talk just fine. He took it quite well!

    New Sleeping/Insomnia Medicine: Dayvigo (Lemborexant) — Here's My Experience

    I have been taking Ambien shortly after the sudden onset of my tinnitus last July that made it extremely difficult for me to fall asleep. It's worked really well for me and have not built any tolerance to it just yet but my psychiatrist (based in California) mentioned I could potentially...

    Magnesium

    Magnesium on an empty stomach reliably relaxes me and makes my tinnitus less intrusive. It's the one supplement that I can say for sure has a positive impact on tinnitus perception based on several pre-post observations.
