If your tinnitus is causing you panic, depression, or insomnia, you may be entitled to higher VA disability payments for these psychological conditions that are secondary to your tinnitus. Make sure you are receiving financial compensation for all the psychological distress ultimately caused by...
I voted yes on the condition that it also prevents any future tinnitus so I can go to concerts, fireworks and shooting ranges without fear like a normal person.
@crescentsky Trump can never be redeemed in my eyes. When the Trump tinnitus cure is released, I shall be boycotting it. I could never forgive, respect or support someone who makes misogynistic remarks about women.
@Kerza Do you think the sound barrier crack gave Trump tinnitus? According to this document "bullet flight noise" is around 150db: http://www.larsondavis.com/ContentStore/mktg/LD_Docs/Firearm_Sound_Briefing.pdf
It has been four months since I got tinnitus from a single dose of Azithromycin.
The cricket-like sound, which I noticed immediately after the acoustic reflex test, has gone away.
I still have intermittent, very high-frequency tones.
The constant "faint" ~1500 Hz midrange droning tone...
I mean which one has the fewest reports of triggering or making tinnitus worse? I know all pharmaceuticals are risky but I'm in a place of despair right now. I can't even work up the motivation to browse this forum and research reports...
I have a feeling that's how it produces results for some people. They are relieved not to listen to Tinnitus Mix anymore and hear their regular old tinnitus, which seems much more tolerable.
Three months have passed since I developed tinnitus from a 1000 mg dose of Azithromycin.
The condition remains largely the same, with the piercing high-frequency tone coming and going, and a constant faint 1450 Hz tone that can only be heard in a dead silent room. I'm losing hope that this will...
Mine was caused by a doctor who prescribed me Azithromycin haphazardly, only to have the test result showing no infection. I left a "1-star" rating on his clinic in Google Maps.
Try asking that question over on the "Suicidal" or "Voluntary Assisted Dying" threads.
It seems that way, as you are destroying the part of the brain that creates the perception of tinnitus. You wouldn't even have to go deaf if you used imaging to carefully target only the areas creating the...
When I asked a good tinnitus-wise ENT about TRT, he told me: "Oh, you can just play waterfall sounds or whatever on your smartphone. It's the same thing as TRT and costs less money."
Surgery of the auditory cortex seems to be the most obvious way to fix tinnitus. Tinnitus is caused by high-frequency sections of the auditory cortex firing out of control, right? Wouldn't you be able to see the part of the brain that is firing constantly and target it? Especially with all...
What about taking supplements before the dentist visit to prevent hair cell damage?
I'm not very knowledgeable. What is good?
NAC + Glycine as antioxidants? Quercetin and Curcumin for inflammation?
@Charlie398 never said his tinnitus went away. What was written was: "At some point, you have to make the choice that you are going to beat it, overcome it, and not let it invade your life anymore."
@Supersix I think I have a depressive personality so laying in bed comes easily to me. In my youth I would go to sleep at 4AM, wake up at 6PM and play MMORPGs until 4AM then go back to sleep for 14 hours. I was keeping a normal sleep schedule and a job for awhile but then tinnitus hit and I...
Melatonin every night. Doesn't knock me out but mostly take it for antioxidant effect. I'll take Victan(long acting benzo) sometimes if I'm having a spike causing anxiety. Sometimes I'll take Hydroxyzine especially if I've got itchy eyes/nose due to allergies keeping me awake.
I hate to say this, but the ears do not repair. Once cochlear hair cells have been destroyed, they never regenerate.
Hopefully, what you have is something called a "temporary threshold shift," where the hair cells have been bent but not completely destroyed.
You'll want to spend as many months...
@RunningMan I guess everyone's brain is different. I find Hydroxyzine hits me like a tranquilizer dart. More reliable than a Benzo for inducing drowsiness. Only take occasionally and haven't built any tolerance. For me sometimes Benzos have the chance of producing a paradoxical reaction....a...
@BB23 Hydroxyzine isn't even listed on the theentcc list which basically has every drug ever made. https://theentcc.com/ototoxic-drugs/
Good thing you didn't get a permanent spike. You said you don't care about the T anymore, maybe its worth a temporary spike for a good nights sleep?
I found a tinnitus suicide story that hasn't been mentioned here yet.
Karl Peter Stevenson: Suicide Father Was Tortured by Tinnitus
A demonic doctor pushed a blood pressure medication on Karl and didn't bother to warn him that the medication could possibly cause tinnitus. He was denied...
