    New Tinnitus Tones After Mirtazapine

    Hello! I have been taking Mirtazapine for over nine months now. I went up to 40 mg per day. I believe it has not affected my tinnitus in any unpleasant way. In fact, I actually think it may have helped make it a bit less intrusive. However, it is hard to tell because I have been doing so many...

    Hello @Mathilda, Thanks for sharing your experience here. I personally quit after the first cycle. My impression was that I experienced the simulation during the first sessions for the same reasons you described. I had the same sensations as you. I saw some improvement at the end of the first...

    Confused About Reactive Tinnitus: Where's the Expert Advice?

    Hello, I’ve been struggling with reactive tinnitus for a year now. At first, I listened to all kinds of so-called therapeutic sounds, including white, pink, and red noise. My tinnitus gradually worsened, becoming louder and more intrusive, with new sounds appearing. Eventually, I did the...

    Tinnitus Masking: Bone Conduction Headphones (e.g., Aftershokz) — Share Your Experience

    Your story sounds so similar to mine. I have lived with mild tinnitus for around 20 years, listening to an hour of music every day without ever experiencing a spike. But then, an ear infection and an inappropriate ENT procedure caused a long-lasting worsening. Since that moment, my tinnitus has...

    Impact of Noise-Canceling Headphones and Earplugs on Tinnitus

    Hello everyone, Wishing you all the best for this new year! :) I often use earplugs at work, as I frequently have to make long phone calls. For this, I rely on noise-canceling headphones. However, when I use both earplugs and noise-canceling headphones, my voice resonates quite a lot in my own...

    tRNS, The Next Neuromodulation Method

    There are reasons I can openly share here and other reasons, primarily related to my health condition, that I discussed directly with the research team. I believe we should avoid making quick judgments about people’s decisions. That being said, I understand your point and mostly agree with it.

    tRNS, The Next Neuromodulation Method

    I'm not sure I get your point 100%. I made an assumption. I can be right, I can be wrong. Of course, I haven't been told anything by the research team. So, I don't see how I'm going against any integrity standards here. Kindly.

    tRNS, The Next Neuromodulation Method

    Hello, @Mathilda! I’m doing okay overall, thank you! I hope you’re well too. It’s a bit difficult to put the situation into words. In short, my tinnitus tones are still there and still bothersome, but maybe about 10% softer. The sound itself has changed slightly in character, but it’s...

    Listening to White Noise/Wind Chimes Makes My Tinnitus Worse

    Thanks a lot for your insights! In Switzerland, TRT is not widely spread, and it's hard to find well-trained audiologists. Therefore, I've been reading several books about TRT, and I'm considering purchasing white noise generators. As my primary concern is not to worsen my situation, I've...
