I noticed not one candidate in the entire campaign mentioned tinnitus even once. It seems neither one cares at all about the 20 million Americans suffering from this awful disease.

Cheap speakers turned up way too loud in public spaces.

Do not take antibiotics for chronic prostatitis. They won’t resolve the issue, and you risk a permanent tinnitus spike or a C. diff infection. Are you sure the pain is coming from your prostate? This condition is so vague that many now refer to it as “chronic pelvic pain syndrome.” My symptoms...

What MRI-safe earmuffs did you use?

I'm worried that the loud noise of the MRI will make my tinnitus worse.

I'm curious as to the reason why things went wrong here. Isn't it easier to control the dosage of the liquid version compared to cutting or shaving pills?

The author mentioned they have been tapering for two years, so I assume they’ve been taking benzodiazepines regularly for many years before that. By this stage, the brain becomes highly dependent on the drug, and even a “sub-therapeutic” dose of 0.25 mg is essential for normal brain function...

I don't need a scientist to "objectively assess" whether or not I have tinnitus. I just need a cure.

Which benzodiazepine? Which antibiotic?

Before 1965, when the government compelled cigarette companies to start placing warnings on the boxes, all these companies claimed that smoking wasn’t dangerous. The next time a psychiatrist tells you that antidepressants aren’t dangerous, show them the insert from the package that lists all...

Yet... I'd consider the possibility that the sensitivity and anxiety are happening because your body is giving you a sign about the danger that you are in. I think you'll get a lot of responses here. It seems once tinnitus has started, the ears are sensitive to further trauma, and tinnitus can...

Of course, we still need to keep eating, but I’d like to start taking the “zinc-trapping compound” mentioned in the article as soon as possible. Does anyone know the name of this compound? Is it something you can buy on iHerb?

Are Zinc supplements ototoxic?

Here’s my 7-month update: I’ve passed the 6-month mark, and I still have tinnitus. For about a month now, I’ve been dealing with some kind of lung infection. It started with a few days of very itchy, irritated lungs, and I’ve been coughing up sputum ever since. Fortunately, I haven’t...

From reading this forum, I’ve found some information suggesting that Doxycycline-induced tinnitus might be related to mitochondrial disruption and that it can potentially heal over time. However, it seems that @Steph1710 developed tinnitus from Doxycycline, and it never completely went away...

It’s not really that wild or unusual. The information you found in your research is related to hearing loss due to macrolides, not tinnitus. You won’t find many scientific studies focused solely on tinnitus as a side effect because scientists generally don’t prioritize tinnitus and don’t...

I have multiple tones, and their volume changes. On loud days, I can even hear them while walking next to a busy street.

It might be helpful to start a thread listing some treatable medical conditions that can cause tinnitus. The only one I've heard of so far is otosclerosis. Beyond that, I've struggled to find examples of anyone receiving successful treatment from an ENT. In fact, there are plenty of cases where...

I've had tinnitus for nine months now after taking a single dose of Azithromycin, with no sign of it ever going away. I've also tried Magnesium, vitamin D, B12, and NAC, but none of them helped reduce the tinnitus. If your employment contract or insurance entitles you to paid health-related...

Ever since I developed tinnitus from taking Azithromycin, I’ve noticed a sound in my left ear that resembles a faint drone or the hum of a ventilation shaft. As far back as I can remember, even before I had tinnitus, I would occasionally hear pulsatile sounds of blood rushing or whooshing...

Has anyone taken a pneumococcal vaccine? Did it affect your tinnitus? I found an article on the National Library of Medicine regarding the risk of tinnitus associated with the COVID vaccine: → Prevalence of New‐Onset Tinnitus after COVID‐19 Vaccination with Comparison to Other Vaccinations...

Be careful not to taper too quickly. There are many reports of tinnitus symptoms being triggered by tapering psychiatric medications too rapidly.

According to Mayo Clinic, Azithromycin can cause: redness or swelling in the ear, continuing ringing or buzzing in the ears

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...

Get a letter from the ENT specialist advising you against using headphones and show it to your workplace's HR department.

Loop diuretics are ototoxic but are herbal diuretics like "Wuling San Wan" safe? Think my T is caused by fluid buildup

Is it better to treat cavities with mouthwash and xylitol gum instead of risking a baseline increase at the dentist?

Is Lidocaine safe

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.

Can Barium swallow cause a T spike?

Did Trump get tinnitus from the bullet going directly past his ear? If he did will we see more awareness about it?

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...

Have many members had success with Nortriptyline?

What is the best anti-depressant or anti-psychotic for tinnitus?

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.

Did you not get a spike from the MRI noise? Do you know what kind of machine they used? Did you get a contrast with your CT?

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."
