I’ve been using something similar from a local smoke shop. I believe it’s a national chain called Mr. Smoke here in the U.S. That name is good enough for me. :>} Everyone needs to find their brain’s sweet spot, but what works really, really well for me is something with Delta 8 in it called...

I live in a senior building, and many of my neighbors suffer from peripheral neuropathy. That made me curious because I’m an older guy and don’t have those issues, just a light tingling in my palms from decades of bike and eBike riding. The Cleveland Clinic website says: “Surgery (for...

Yes, of course, the store does have maximum noise regulations that set limits on what people can be exposed to under OSHA. I used to work for a company that did a lot of business with them when I lived in Washington, D.C. Just give them a call or send an email. Noise at high levels is no...

I shouldn't complain. Trump's second presidency has lit a fire under me to move to Corpus Christi for some sun, water, and Spanish lessons. Later, I made my connections and lived as an ex-patriot in Costa Rica. I grew up on the Gulf Coast, so hot and humid weather is always a perfect reason to...

I take supplements but there is no substitute for the real thing. A recent injury to my ankle, caused by two pit bulls attacking me while I was on my eBike, taught me the power of antibiotics and proper healthcare. They almost pulled me off my bike, and if I had gone down, they would have killed...

There was a doctor who specialized in rejuvenating old tissue. I believe his name was Frankenstein. His results were somewhat less than ideal.

Sadly, weed is a powerful drug when it comes to tinnitus. The research supports this, and it certainly aggravates mine. However, Delta 9 vapes do not—or at least, not in the same way. If I indulge lightly, all is well, but past a certain point, it does worsen my tinnitus, though nothing like...

I know what you’re going through. For the first few years, my tinnitus was incredibly loud and constant. It got to the point where I seriously considered ending my life. But one day, I was walking over a bridge above a running stream, and the sound completely drowned out my tinnitus. That moment...

The tinnitus journey is long and doesn’t always make sense. But the good news is that tinnitus is variable. It will go up, down, and sideways all on its own. Sometimes it’s very loud and bothersome; other times, I can barely hear it. One day, it’s easy to drown out with a fan; other times, that...

That gap may have had something to do with it, or it might not—there’s no way to know. Labs rigorously test carefully selected patients to determine whether their product is safe and effective. But if you’re like me, our version of rigorous control might be just making sure we get the date...

Sounds like my tinnitus. I sometimes forget about it, but it’s mostly there 24/7. I would suggest moving to a place with weather that allows you to be outside as much as possible, where ambient noise can help drown it out. That might sound extreme, but I would live almost anywhere for a chance...

If your tinnitus is similar to mine, you can count on it changing — you just won’t know when. In a way, that’s actually good news because it means it will change at some point. Hopefully, you can cover it up now with some different sounds. The small sound machines with multiple sound options are...

I did a web search for Wellbutrin and tinnitus. Right away, I found something that said it’s rare but possible. That’s what it says, but if you keep going from page to page on Google, you start to see it mentioned more frequently. Ultimately, it doesn’t really matter — each individual is going...

I’m not sure how to rejuvenate eardrums, but as a music lover who understands how you must feel, I wanted to ask—have you tried a good equalizer? That way, you can boost the frequencies you have trouble with and reduce the others to match. Or just play around with it; they can make a big...

I asked my doctor not to prescribe anything that might increase my tinnitus (like he would know, LOL), and he gave me a prescription for 90 tablets of 2.5 mg Amlodipine. Within two hours of taking it, my tinnitus became louder. It would have taken him one minute to do a web search and find this...

You have to be careful with doctors and do your own research on drug interactions. I recently told my doctor, “Do not prescribe me anything that will make my tinnitus worse because I will not take it.” He assured me it would not be a problem, but he did not check this online. I took one pill...

I’m skeptical. It has been 30 to 40 years since I developed tinnitus, and of course, nothing has come along to help it yet. I do not see how this thing of Musk’s would work. It does not address the very strong neural connections in our brains that form due to inner ear issues. First comes...

Yes, definitely. For most people, tinnitus is caused by damage to the tiny hair cells in the ear, which send incorrect signals to the brain. Over time, a strong neural connection forms around these signals. I am not sure how they could physically break that connection, so maybe a drug that...

You should probably avoid loud environments, antibiotics, and anything that increases stress. Keeping a log can help—note whether the problem is worse when you wake up, stays the same, or worsens throughout the day. Later in the day, track any changes. Avoid hard drugs, and while weed isn’t...

In the meantime, try to avoid loud noises, stress, and antibiotics if possible. My tinnitus started from a mix of antibiotics, sinus congestion, and earplugs.

What brought this on? That's an important part of tinnitus, although I hope yours is just temporary. Meanwhile, watch your health, eat right, get away from stress or loud noises etc.

That's interesting. I was a dealership tech for many years in the U.S. and watched Toyota go from being a bad joke to one of the best built cars around. The Germans have been building bulletproof cars for decades, even before that. If you own any German car, you hope it lasts because the money...

But it is a successful rant! I agree with the original poster—try to make your life as meaningful and fulfilling as possible. It can be done.

That would probably depend on your doctor. I am over here in the Colonies, and Gabapentin is very easy to get prescribed. Clonazepam, unless I am mistaken, belongs to a different class of pharmaceuticals. Most of us end up seeing several doctors to get what we need. Gabapentin can actually make...

I would look into pharmaceuticals or natural remedies to help with your anxiety. The original poster is right where I was at the beginning of my tinnitus journey. Get out in nature—listen to it and feel it. We spend most of our lives in cities with toxic environments filled with unhealthy air...

Ah, yes, cricket videos. If you told someone that’s what you played to fall asleep, they’d probably think you’d lost your mind. We had house crickets in Arizona, and they were a thousand times worse than the big Southern crickets here in Arkansas. Those Arizona crickets would get inside the...

Every day it's something w/ this nut. Now he freezes Federal funds, and he doesn't even understand what he is doing!!! He is a deranged dictator who is now 10 times as crazy and bitter about losing the other election. The man is a danger to the known world, and his followers are even more...

An old friend and I, along w/ a lot of others we know, absolutely refuse to live in a country so stupid that its citizens elect a megalomaniac who is a compulsive liar, a convicted felon, a low brow Neanderthal as president of a country that is no longer America at all. It's a sick joke, and the...

...would I wake up in Heaven, ready to go? Or would I be directed to That Other Place? (If you like warm climates, what’s not to love?)

That doesn’t sound plausible. There’s no way to know what the brain creates—they’re just chasing a hypothesis. Additionally, there’s no way the brain can predict what is happening or about to happen. Really? So my brain could tell me who will win the Super Bowl? When I ask my brain about that...

Would the wearer hear sounds similar to “normal hearing,” or more like the example in the link below? In the video, they are filtering cochlear sounds through a laptop, and the software brings the sound closer to normal hearing. It would be amazing if they could develop a small, portable device...

I've taken them both (I will be 74 next month), but my favorite is Tadalafil. I was concerned about this too but it has not made any difference in my tinnitus. Blue Chew has great products, but not so great shipping and customer service.

Welcome to the New Reality. It's unfortunate that this convicted felon is going to escape any sort of penalty, but hey, this is Amerika! Ain't it great? The idiot was elected president by other idiots. It doesn't bother me though. When I look at the government's intrusions into my own life, I...

I know a smoke shop might seem like an odd place to look for tinnitus help, but bear with me. I went to my favorite smoke shop today, where they must have a thousand different products. I have had good luck with a disposable vape containing Delta 8. It gives a mild high, almost identical to...

This is true. It really is that simple, at least on the surface! The key, I think, is to engage in something that naturally absorbs your attention, something you enjoy or find challenging. For example, if I have a cold and end up staying home without much to do, I notice my tinnitus much more.

Oh yeah, I went through all the same things the original poster did. I was also very concerned and scared that these episodes might be permanent. Long story short: things didn’t get worse. I still experience spikes, even after several decades of tinnitus, but they always eventually recede. Over...

This film explores this question in a very thought-provoking way. I'm in love with Ms Fromm.

A GP gave me tinnitus by prescribing antibiotics, and when I mentioned the tinnitus to a therapist, they insisted the ringing in my ears was the result of past psychological traumas. Isn’t this exactly what the “Peter Principle” is all about—how people rise to the level of their own...

If all else fails, try ignoring it—not by pretending it isn’t there, but by finding ways to mask it. For me, that might mean riding my eBike on a crisp fall morning, going on a photo walk, heading to the gym or the pool, or watching a movie. The more I live a “normal” life, even with tinnitus...

The Mayo Clinic website says: Acute bacterial prostatitis is usually caused by common strains of bacteria. The infection may have spread from other parts of the urinary or reproductive systems. Chronic bacterial prostatitis generally has the same cause as acute bacterial infection. It may occur...

The short answer is that insurance companies do it simply because they can. What I want to know is, why isn’t dental care covered? Someone could be stone deaf and toothless and still get no help, even if they have “medical insurance.” That, folks, is what you call a racket.

The idea of the “monkey” is interesting, but that’s not quite how it works. Everyone’s experience with tinnitus varies—some a little, some a lot—and knowing the exact cause doesn’t necessarily lead to a solution. Generally, people with tinnitus are already on high alert to avoid further ear...

I’ve been fortunate that any spikes in my tinnitus have always been temporary (and it’s a looong list of triggers). Eventually, it returns to baseline, which is fine by me—as long as it doesn’t worsen permanently, I’m good. Of course, like all of us, there’s an underlying fear that it could...

People with tinnitus are naturally more aware of any changes in their hearing. They should be particularly cautious about exposing themselves to anything that could worsen their hearing or tinnitus, such as stress, high altitudes, flying, and certain medications. It’s quite a lengthy list, but...

Tinnitus often makes people more aware of their body and its sensations. Floaters typically come and go on their own, and they may disappear as quickly as they appeared.

What’s worse is that many insurers don’t cover dental, as if teeth aren’t part of your body or something—just a bunch of extra enamel you can do without, in their minds.

It has come down to a choice between the lesser of two evils. On one hand, we have a newcomer, an untested figure with, admittedly, a pedigree background that reflects a sense of political responsibility. On the other, we have Donald Trump, a person who, while he may do a competent job, is a...

I assume that goes for heterosexual couples too :>] Thanks for the heads-up on the vaccine. I'm going to wait and see until there's enough data to really understand its effects. However, I'm definitely concerned about the antibiotic, as it was an antibiotic that caused my tinnitus in the first...

I predict that Biden will announce he will not run, and Kamala Harris will be the Democratic Party's Presidential Nominee within the next two weeks. Time is running out, and November is not far off. The Democratic Party is losing votes daily as they flounder with no one in charge. It's time for...

These two guys are the sorriest presidential candidates that I've ever seen. We have a choice between a guy who is obviously too old for the job and won't admit it and one who is now a felon, a pathological liar, and also too old! You couldn't cook up a bigger nightmare election if you tried...

The Democratic political machine isn't scaled up for large national operations. Everything is about the local grass-roots idea of going to people's homes, jobs, and churches and reminding them to vote. Maybe we should go over the candidates with them if they need help. But this here is obviously...

I've been reading many articles on OpenAI, and to me, it appears to be a thinly disguised excuse for more mass surveillance. Like most people, I have a home computer and use it frequently. Too frequently. This is where most of our lives are being tracked by companies like Google, which has...

I wholeheartedly agree. Let's be honest and realistic. There has been little to no progress with tinnitus assistance. Oh, there have been umpteen dozen studies, but nothing ever happens to help us. It's probably best to take things into our own hands. How could we do any worse? I keep a...

You all are the first people I've heard of who had their tinnitus disappear due to exercise. That increases my blood pressure and always accentuates mine. You mentioned jaw and neck issues, which are all connected and can mess with people's tinnitus, especially the jaw. One thing about mine is...

Have you all listened to the simulated sounds one would get from a cochlear implant? They are so alien and unlike what we hear with our ears that I would only think it's a last resort sort of thing accompanied by low expectations. The best estimate I could find of the number of people worldwide...

I have allergies, and when they flare up, my tinnitus also flares up. Coming from the desert in the American Southwest to the Deep South, where I'm originally from, has been an adjustment too. High humidity is a problem with tinnitus. I'm acclimated to the humidity after 1 1/2 years, but there...

There is nothing wrong with headphones; the problem is the volume. If someone keeps it low, there should not be any worries. I wear mine on my ears loosely. The last thing I want is to hear only the music. It's better that I hear ambient sounds as well so I can gauge the real volume of the...

I lost weight on the keto diet. It's genuinely not a diet that one wants to stay on long, and if someone has high blood pressure, heart issues, or high cholesterol, they probably should avoid it like Dracula avoids the sun. But it did work. The big problem is, what then? Yes, I gained the...

Well, as of yesterday, it looks like a one-horse race! Unless He Whose Name Be Not Uttered (Trump) can run an election from behind bars. He has finally found his true place in life, YES! His low-life relatives should be next for similar charges and trials.

Acceptance of the present is kind of a no-brainer. I mean, things just are what they are. Not experiencing that is a lie and leads to even more suffering because everything IS just what it is. We don't have to accept it; it's there whether we accept it or not. It is best to acknowledge reality...
