I am not discounting anyone's experience, and I understand that some of you have endured horrible years and are still suffering. My heart goes out to each and every one of you. I am just as invested in finding a cure and supporting effective care, and I have deep respect for each of you and...

This whole "Trump has a low IQ," or "Only idiots voted for Trump," or "Americans are going to suffer now" all sounds like schoolchildren crying because they're not allowed to tell all the other kids what to wear, where to sit, how to speak and what to eat.

That was me almost exactly. I was so stressed I couldn’t sleep, work, or exercise, and I had no appetite. I lost over 40 pounds. One person after another, in person (not on forums), told me they’d had the same experience and eventually habituated to it over time. They encouraged me to stay...

I’m praying for you right now, if that’s okay.

At least someone has a sense of humor.

There are already numerous treatments that people on Tinnitus Talk can attest to. None of them work for everyone because, as we all know, every case of tinnitus is different. Yes, there are classifications and common symptoms associated with different types and causes of tinnitus, but if it were...

This is just about the most popular thread on "TINNITUS" Talk. LOL!

What a question. I think, therefore I am. We are not a simulation.

Riding a motorcycle might worsen tinnitus. I own a 900cc Triumph, and it's fairly loud, although I always wear a helmet. However, I don’t use earplugs. After riding, my tinnitus spikes slightly but eventually returns to what I perceive as a moderate level—not severe, but not mild either. It...

Seriously. Harris better than Trump? She lacks the basic ability to communicate with people without twisting everything into a political statement.

Am I supposed to be impressed by this? Are you more qualified to tell people how to handle tinnitus because you were tortured? I don't think so.

It would probably increase Trump's numbers. I am just saying that because the people following RFK Jr. were disaffected with the Democratic Party.

I’m sorry to hear about your doctor's visit. I hope it is treatable.

Same. Ditto. Lather, rinse, repeat. That’s what most political threads are like on most message boards. There is no engagement on issues, just lobbing grenades from behind ideological barricades.

I’ve been having serious spikes. Discouraging. I’ve had an ear infection for 2 days. It’s making my T unbearable.

She’s got the best word salads in the world. WhatchyoutalkinbouWillis?

I was recommended Prednisone, so I decided to do some research. When some people experience an inner ear infection accompanied by sudden hearing loss, treatment with Prednisone within the first three to four weeks can reduce the inflammation, and the tinnitus disappears. It was a long shot, but...

Well, shagging is a stress reliever, and I practice it regularly. No problem mentioning it. You should try it.

I've been taking Magnesium for four months, and it seems to keep my tinnitus manageable. It may be a composite result of many other things as well: prayer, reading Psalms, quiet walks, and some masking in the middle of the night when I cannot sleep.

I agree with you. I have read dozens of cases where SSRIs have damaged people severely. The best advice I have received has to do with learning to be at peace with myself, the world, and God and not allow myself to spiral into anger or severe depression.

It would be impossible for one person on this thread to change another person's opinion. As I have read this entire thread, people are polar opposites of each other and are primarily just lobbing hate bombs. Politics causes such division it makes me sick. And I have been involved in the...

Treble Health is a total joke, a bunch of salesmen offering what any VA offers: masking that works for 5% of tinnitus sufferers.

After having 3 nights of pretty good sleep, the past two nights were "up at 3:30 am, not able to go back to sleep, reading, dozing" forhours

I am so sorry that you are housebound. After reading about 5 or 6 stories here, I decided I would not be housebound, so I started doing the things that make me happy. I now take walks regularly and find places where the sound is not loud. I coached baseball for 15 years and must be very careful...

The Remains of the Day with Anthony Hopkins. It was marvelous.

If they are not in the process of FDA approval, they would shut down Auricle. It is the only reason Auricle exists.

How true. She does want a Constitutional Amendment to guarantee Abortion in every state. Probably late-term abortion as well. For this, I oppose her vehemently.

Thank you for taking the time to speak with them and report back. It's too bad we are all kept in the dark. It gives me absolutely ZERO confidence in Auricle.

I've been on this roundabout for six months, and it is destroying every part of my life except my faith. People don't ask me how I am anymore. Most of my friends avoid me or don't answer my texts. One guy who has had tinnitus for 20 years has checked in on me weekly. If it were not for him...

I'd take 5 years in prison, for sure.

He's a joke. I am a long-time, intimately involved political Minnesotan. Walz is a blowhard who is in a state full of hard-working people. If it were not for the city dwellers in Minneapolis, he would never get elected.

My picture is in my profile, so there is nothing new. The other person in my profile picture is my wife of 38 years.

Golfing is a good sport, but I only started after I was 55 years old. My wife and I do a par 3 course near our house. Handicap is not something that I have gotten good enough to determine.

I competed in Powerlifting in college and have continued it throughout my life. Of course, not using as heavy weights as I did when I was 25. It keeps me from getting fat.

Who are your favorite Athletes? Mine is Sunni Lee. She's from here in Minnesota.

My tinnitus stops for an hour or two after moderate to high-level exercise, and I love it. Then it comes back, and I do not know why. My blood pressure is normal.

It took me almost five months to make any headway at all. About two to three weeks later, I started exercising and found that it helped me sleep better. I pushed myself harder and harder. I listened to talks and sometimes music while I exercised. It made just a little difference. When I started...

I'd give it all up if my tinnitus was healed. This statement by @Markku is saddening. The timelines that people mention here are normally one year after FDA approval, which has not happened yet. So, we're talking 2-3 years.

It has taken long years of not spending, putting money into savings, and a wife who helps me keep our budget tight. But God has also blessed me with employment that I can do from home and managers who understand tinnitus. The VP of my department has tinnitus and has made it clear that this is a...

This sounds like an awesome project.

$3,000-$4,000 is not that much. Considering how much tinnitus impacts my life, the device is worth every penny I can find. If it were $10,000, I would not blink once. I have been in the insurance business for years and have worked for America's largest health insurance company. Medical...

Over the past days, my T has gotten louder, I think. It definitely is present more of the time. I just hope that it does not continue this.

He has an online business marketing to businesses that he will continue. The questions that concern taxation are: Does he continue to register his business as an American business and pay taxes here since his clients are here, or does he pay taxes in Australia?

His wife has New Zealand and Australian citizenship, so I think he'll be okay. He is finding it very hard, though.

My friend is planning on moving from Minnesota to Australia. Better taxation and better economy.

I'm thinking of moving to Texas.

Positive stories like yours give me hope. I just read yours, and it encouraged me. I am doing similar things: exercising, walking, and working on reducing anxiety without medication. I am afraid of anti-anxiety medications. I try to avoid reading horror stories and focus on being positive, using...

Directly responsible? That is your theory, and I totally disagree. And to say he is responsible for pandemic deaths? Puleeezzz.
