    NeuroMed Tinnitus Program — Founded by Dr. Hamid Djalilian

    I saw Dr. Djalilian two months after the onset of my symptoms and was greatly disappointed. He diagnosed me with silent migraines and handed me a pamphlet for more information. However, when I read it later, none of the symptoms described applied to me. Curious, I looked up his research and...

    Suicidal

    That’s just shitty. I’m sorry. As for the employment situation, don’t beat yourself up. I’m not sure what field you’re in or if you're working remotely, but finding a job in California is incredibly challenging. Even with a PhD, it's common to never hear back from employers. Have you considered...

    Suicidal

    Sorry to hear that life has really taken a downturn in a few areas for you. It's not easy going through it alone, but having your parents around is a great support. Maybe you can keep your car registered in California if that helps with your job search. Why can't you register it online? If it's...

    Hyperacusis and Tinnitus Following Acoustic Shock: How Can I Continue My Life?

    Hi there. Like @Utdmad89 said, @IYIiKe is busy posting bullshit just to read it back to himself. Don't give it any thought. The best you can do is figure out the users on here who state unfounded opinions and simply brush them off or place on ignore. The reality is yes, there is a condition...

    Hyperacusis and Tinnitus Following Acoustic Shock: How Can I Continue My Life?

    What you are saying is nonsensical and not true, as most tinnitus sufferers are not studied. Don't make up statements. Post research or say 'in my opinion' because that is all you say here.

    Lord, when you have umaskable T! The static is so loud that putting on ear muffs only slightly heightens the sound. However, putting in foam plug makes it pure torture. Combining the two is insanity and only do this for the gardeners.

    Hello. Read your posts. So happy you have a lowered volume/or perception. I habituated to all my crazy high ring tones at about 6 months. Unfortunately, I worsened after. Best I can say is sleep!, mental health, support - and protecting as needed- will save you from getting worse.

    How Do You Handle Static-Hiss Tinnitus?

    My static electricity with pulsing came on two weeks into regular (bar tones, cycling tones, pipe/whistle sounds) tinnitus. It has always been the worst tinnitus "set" and not for a moment, ever, lowered in volume. Yet, after about 6 months I was habituated to all of the tinnitus and slept...

    I dont know if I have hearing loss..too scared to test. I had muffled sound and distortions in one ear when it first started.

    Thats what his research is in. I didnt know that beforehand. I do agree T and migraine activity share traits. Also seizures and T share traits.

    ENTS should offer shots as soon as you call them. It can entirely restore hearing and stop T. Pill form wrecks your body, is not as potent, and is often only temporary. Give the suffering patient their best chance for relief. How is this not common practice today.
