Yes, I prefer hand-scaling all of my teeth because I think it does a better job. You can choose to polish them if you like, but I prefer not to. Since my teeth aren’t stained, I don’t feel the need for polishing.
I guess it really doesn't matter that much. It's not like you're going to lose your hearing from eating at a restaurant. If you're sensitive to the noise, wear earplugs and eat in silence.
Adjusting takes time, so in the meantime, try to find sleep aids that help you get 6-7 hours of rest, as this is crucial. Also, consider reducing your sodium intake and cutting back on caffeine a bit—no need to give it up entirely.

I've been dealing with this for nine years. I have managed to limit my stress, and now I'm sleeping for 4-5 hours without waking up to the ringing. Additionally, I can fall back asleep for another hour or two. I have been meditating and drinking hydrogen water every day. I believe all of these...
Swedish massage can stimulate the central nervous system and potentially help alleviate tinnitus. It's advisable to avoid neck manipulation by a chiropractor as it may exacerbate the condition.
Drink hydrogen water because it reduces inflammation. Buy high-end bottles for better results, as cheap ones produce little hydrogen. Research backs its positive effects on the brain and many other conditions. I drink it every day and use the Echo-Go.
Please don't get an ear tube; it could worsen your tinnitus. Flonase can spike tinnitus, and so can saline rinse. You need to be careful and try it in moderation. You want to do the Valsalva as little as possible; you're popping your eardrum in and out, so it's okay to do it a few times, but you...
It takes time to adjust. You mentioned you were taking Trazodone. I didn't like Trazodone. Everyone responds differently.
A 1/4 of 0.5 mg of Klonopin, with 1 mg of Remeron, can help you sleep well. You can gradually back off and take it only when needed. It is the perfect cocktail for me, and...
Would you rather have terminal cancer or tinnitus? Minimum security prison sounds like a country club. People with terminal cancer would trade without hesitation. I tell myself this all the time and to people I know.
I received one dose of the Moderna COVID-19 vaccine and experienced a major tinnitus spike for three days. It was a challenging experience. Unfortunately, I later caught COVID-19 and the flu, which was even worse than COVID-19. I've decided not to get another vaccine and have never had a flu...
Turn off all the lights an hour before bed, take 2 mg of Melatonin, do breathing exercises, and meditate. This will relax you and help you sleep. Having the same daily routine of turning everything off would help. If you can get Klonopin, it will help you sleep better.
I understand what you're going through. I use an app for guided breathing exercises at night, and it has been a lifesaver for me when I wake up in the middle of the night or before bed, as well as throughout the day. Meditation is also essential to me. When I have my teeth cleaned, I ask them to...

When I wear my ReSound hearing aid, it helps to reduce the ringing in my ear. I always use white noise and meditation apps with the hearing aid, and they have been a lifesaver for me. I have profound hearing loss in my right ear, so I only need one hearing aid for my left ear. It's important to...
Be careful when doing the Valsalva maneuver as it can cause your eardrum to flutter, popping it in and out, possibly leading to a spike in your tinnitus. It's okay to do it a few times a day.
If you can tolerate a Sudafed, I would take a small dose, 10 mg daily. It will dry you out and...
The beginning is always stressful. I advise you to start meditating, learn breathing exercises, and lower your salt intake. You have time for it to go away. It could disappear.
Please stay away from nasal sprays unless you really need them.
I would ask for a CT scan of the skull to make sure...
I've been trying hydrogen water and noticed a positive effect on my brain. I've been drinking it for three weeks, and I've seen a big difference in my mood and energy. I believe it's had a positive effect on my tinnitus as well. For the best results, you need to buy a high-end bottle. I use the...
I've been living with this nightmare for nine years. Every night for nine years, I've woken up to a deep ringing that never seems to go away. It's been a constant presence, and I've even experienced loud hissing throughout the day for multiple days.
At first, I thought every little noise was...
The rinse may have triggered your Eustachian Tube Dysfunction, causing tinnitus. What kind of sound are you experiencing? Also, do you hear it at night while sleeping, and does it calm down during the day?
The audiologist is incredibly knowledgeable and has a high IQ. He can provide you with all the information you need to know about Tinnitus, as he has conducted extensive research and has Tinnitus worse than mine. He uses masking techniques during the day and at night when he goes to bed."
@ECP
I messaged him to ask for the name of the facility. He mentioned that she had made an incredible 80% improvement after the treatment and was doing well. He noted that protecting your ears from everyday noise is the worst thing you can do.
There's a place in Oregon that helps people with hyperacusis. The chief audiologist where I go sent one of his patients there, who locked herself in the room with earplugs and noise reduction headsets. He told me the worst thing to do is plug your ears and that masking sounds (TRT) is the way to...
Some people are suffering a lot worse than us and would trade a terminal disease for ringing ears. It takes time to adjust, and many emotions run through your head. You can get a jump start by meditating every day to rain noise. If ringing ears bother you, it will calm you down.
I have had...
@RunningMan I'm sleeping better, have tons of energy, and my anxiety has calmed down and Tinnitus; I'm telling you, you need to try it. There's a 30-day money-back guarantee. I purchased it on Amazon.
I take Omeprazole every day for GERD. I have chronic tinnitus. I notice that Omeprazole helps my tinnitus by reducing inflammation in my gut, which affects the central nervous system and can cause tinnitus to spike. It sucks dealing with both chronic conditions.
I have been drinking 32oz of hydrogen water daily for the past two days. I have noticed a reduction in inflammation, which has resulted in a decreased frequency of my hissing. Although it may be too early to make any definitive claims, I can feel positive changes in my body. The hydrogen water...
I understand what you're going through. It sounds like you have a mild case, and the sudden increase scared you, making you think it would never go back down. I can reassure you that 99% of spikes always come down. It would be best to remind yourself of that so you don't panic.
Learning...
Sometimes, nasal sprays can worsen things, so if you feel it's causing a spike in your symptoms, it's best to back off. My tinnitus started 9 years ago with a hiss, but after the first month, it lessened a bit, and I adjusted to it.
He is completely trustworthy. I have no doubt in my mind that he is being entirely honest with me. He explicitly stated that there is a push for audiologists to treat tinnitus patients and emphasized the importance of their education on the matter. He made it clear that ENTs may not have the...
The pill will protect your hair cells from damage caused by loud noise. Communication is essential in the military, but protecting your ears is not always possible. Additionally, the pill will stabilize movent that causes ringing in your ears.
Yes, mucus can cause a tinnitus spike, making it louder when sleeping at night. I deal with it every day because I have bad ETD.
I'm considering undergoing a balloon dilation. If it alleviates my tinnitus, I'll regret not doing it nine years ago.
