Hi everyone, It's been a while since I've posted here - primarily because I was progressing well on my habituation journey. Until I recently contracted Lyme disease. And then Epstein Barr Virus. It's been challenging to say the least but thank God I am able to have medical care for the Lyme...

Hi TheDanishGirl, I don't know if it is "better". I only know that it is not mRNA (as is the vaccine for Pfizer). Based on my understanding, Novavax is based on traditional vaccine development, which is that it injects a small amount of the virus into your body and stimulates an immune...

Hi everyone, Has anyone tried noise-cancelling earbuds (Apple or Samsung) while driving? I can get by without earplugs for short drives up to about 1 hour, but I find on longer drives, or multiple drives per day, that the road and engine noise make my tinnitus worse (I have reactive tinnitus)...

I would get the Novavax vaccine if I chose to get a second dose. I don't believe the Novavax vaccine is still pending approval in the US.

Further to my earlier post, can anyone provide guidance on how they integrate the use of earplugs with Tinnitus Retraining Therapy? My audiologist recommends using the TRT devices from the time I'm awake until going to sleep. But there are times I believe I need hearing protection when in loud...

Thanks, Mister Muso. I think I will save the headphones for air travel.

Thanks, NormySan. I will give them a try. Regards, Michael

Hi everyone, With COVID-19 starting to wind down (I'm based in NY), my employer is requiring employees to come back to the office 2-3 days per week. I was always dreading this day because I was wondering how I would manage my tinnitus while commuting back and forth to the office. By way of...

Hi, I started taking NAC (600 mg in the morning) about 2 weeks ago. I have reactive tinnitus and unless there are other factors at play (always a possibility with tinnitus), my tinnitus has gone up significantly. Mostly whooshing/hissing sounds, combined with some various tones due to the...

Hi, yes that is what I am experiencing too. Have you tried anything to bring down the spike? Sudafed takes the edge off a bit for me.

Hi, Hope those of you on Tinnitus Talk in the NE are faring well during this weekend's winter storm (or blizzard in some locations like mine on Lond Island). I have been dealing with tinnitus now for just over one year. Making some progress in my habituation journey, thanks to the posts from...

Yep. Metagenics is not cheap. I haven't really seen this impact sleep, but it does keep me calmer throughout the day.

Metagenics 300 mg/day. Made from sunflower oil.

Hello Sarah, I recognize my response to your post is very late, but I came across it when I started to look on Tinnitus Talk to see if there were others whose tinnitus increased or spiked due to wind. I live on Long Island (New York) and with the winter, comes windy weather. I have recently...

I've been taking Phosphatidylserine for nearly 2 months. The intensity of my tinnitus seems to have gone down a bit. I can't tell if this is due to an actual reduction in my tinnitus or that I am just less bothered by it. If it is the latter, I am guessing it could be due to a reduction in my...

I was not looking to provide guidance to anyone on this site or suggest that everything is "fine". I believe that we are all looking for information to make an informed decision as to whether or not we might wish to consider getting vaccinated. I was merely sharing my experience so that others...

Hi everyone, Just wanted to provide an update since getting my J&J vaccination last Saturday. I am happy to report that other than soreness around the injection site, along with a mild headache and fatigue for 2 days after getting vaccinated, it had no impact on my tinnitus (positive or...

I am male, age 57. Since developing tinnitus about 9 months ago, sex and everything else that was once enjoyable, doesn't seem to matter much anymore. Some days are starting to be better, where I have an interest in the things I used to enjoy - but not with the same intensity. I would guess most...

Hi everyone, I decided to get vaccinated yesterday with the J&J vaccine. I still have doubts and questions, just like those that have already been posted. For me, it got down to relative risks - the risk of contracting COVID-19 with potentially life threatening implications or worsening my...

Hi everyone, I still haven't taken the vaccine yet. I had developed tinnitus in December 2020, and after hearing the reports of tinnitus being a possible side effect of all the vaccines, and see postings on this website confirming this, I have decided to hold off. This is getting really...

Just adding to this thread for one of the OPs asking about a Subaru. I have a 2018 Outback. Love the car but drives my tinnitus crazy. I can't say for sure if it's the wind noise, tire noise, engine or combination of all. Took me a while to make the correlation, but now I am strongly considering...

Hi everyone, I had an MRI in December of 2020, with earmuff type protectors and ear plugs. I has some very, very minor tinnitus prior to this which I only barely noticed when waking up at night when extremely quiet. I also had mild TMJ dysfunction, left ear pain, and cranial pain in various...

Hello everyone, I am new to Tinnitus Talk. I have been suffering from tinnitus since December 2020. About 9-10 months prior to this time, I had some very minor tinnitus, which I only noticed when I was lying awake at night from fairly regular insomnia. Without getting into all the details, I...
