    Warning! Do Not See Dunkirk, Movie Is Insanely Loud!

    Makes me very happy that my post irked you enough to respond. News flash, you're not witty nor are you smart. It's very convenient that you honed in on what a raging asshole is (you) rather than comment on some of my other observations... I'm done replying to this idiot, my apologies to the...

    Warning! Do Not See Dunkirk, Movie Is Insanely Loud!

    No, he's generally an asshole all the time. I haven't logged in a while and wasn't surprised to see he's still a raging asshole. In case any one is wondering why I haven't logged in a while is cause my T has gotten better with time, believe it or not and I didn't pay out my ass for useless...

    How is it that this guy is allowed to post here with impunity, creating new accounts just to attack others. Perhaps he should seek some help. @Markku Seems clear that he created this account strictly to respond to this poster.

    Is Hissing Tinnitus a Good Sign?

    I used to get that to loud voices, is that a type of h or is it reactive t or both ?

    New Tinnitus Case

    Try to stay calm and do things to occupy your mind, protect with ear plugs around louder places. It should start subsiding some. Which medicine did you take for your ear infection?

    Sometimes You Just Can't Win

    I hope you're ok and I know exactly what you mean. Since this shit started I've become very good at analyzing my surroundings and anticipating what or who may cause a loud unwanted sound.

    Should I Go to a Rock Concert?

    Would I go? Two words..........HELL MUTHA EFFIN NO! ok maybe 4 words. Think risk vs. reward......if your t gets worse.....will thinking that you at least got to see that band make you feel better about it?

    So Happy to Have Found This Place!

    Hello and welcome! By accident I happened to listen to a Sirius XM channel called Symphony Hall, they play classical music and it really masks for me, especially string instruments. You can also search for Mozart, Beethoven etc on YouTube. Works really well for my high pitched t.

I read people also apply it topically and it helps relieve pain in joints and what not. The link below says...

    Already 6 Hours Tinnitus Free with CBD Oil

    Is it possible the spike you experienced last Saturday coincidentally disappeared around the same time you took the oil? sorry not trying to be negative, just trying to rule out any coincidences. If you dont mind me asking, how did you initially get T in 2012? Was there anything obvious that...

    Neck Exercise Routine to Reduce Tinnitus

    I think it would make sense to lift your head slightly off the floor when moving it side to side, otherwise it wouldn't have any effect

    When you do it sideways, you lay on your back, lift your head off the ground and just move your head side to side for x times? Or do you lay on your side and do it?

    It sucks that the autifony trials in USA are only for age related hearing loss for the time being.

    Tinnitus Nightmares

    Yes it will improve. As you mentioned you being freaked out isn't helping, it's tough in the beginning but try to stay calm and it should help you settle down. If you actively listen for it, it WILL seem louder, try not to focus on it.

    5 Months In... Does It Get Much Better?

    Hi @Sgguy46 what you describe is perfectly normal and mirrors the same situation I went through. You should get out there and slowly get yourself back into the things you previously liked doing.

    Loud Metal Gate Slammed on Ear, Pressure & Pain

    I've been surprised by a loud noise such as you have and I have also had the ear fullness afterwards. It usually has gone away within a day or two, so you should be fine. Try not to panic and keep yourself occupied , you will be fine.

    Worst Nightmare Coming True

    Any Ear Plug Recommendations?

    @Andrey I guess I just Dont like the idea of sticking dirty plugs in my ears. And yes they do get dirty after a while. Whether it leads to an infection or not, I'd rather not find out. With my ears I tend to err on the side of caution.......hence why I have the ear plugs in the first place.

    Any Ear Plug Recommendations?

    Whichever plugs you get, please make sure that you clean them (along with their case) with soap and warm water as much as you can. You don't really want to give yourself an ear infection, I think a lot of people over look this. Depending on how much I use them, I try to clean my plugs once a...

    Autifony Therapeutics Phase II Study for AUT00063, for the Treatment of Hearing Loss and Tinnitus

    Lots of speculation here. The fact remains that they know what they are doing as they have conducted many trials and have bought many drugs to market already. How many have all of us done? That answer is a big fat zero, zilch, nada.

    Road Noise and a Flare in Tinnitus Level

    Research tires first if it really bothers you a lot. What kind of car do you have and What brand of tires are on the car now? Check out tirerack's website and research some quiet tires. I use ear plugs on long car trips, I hear everything I need to hear just fine.
