    Tinnitus Gets Worse from Vasodilators (Any Supplement, Food or Drug Causing Vasodilation)

    I have the same things you wrote. Finally, I found someone. The only thing that's different is that I reckon it's the pressure that causes it, but I don't know.

    PROPHYflex vs. Guided Biofilm Therapy for Dental Cleaning — Safest Option for Tinnitus Sufferer?

    Hello, I will have my teeth cleaned soon (for tartar removal). My dentist told me that guided biofilm therapy (which has an airflow part) is less loud and has less sharp sound than ultrasonic scaling. But afterwards I realized they also have something called PROPHYflex which emits calcium...

    Can Computers Spike Tinnitus?

    Thanks. I am pretty sure it's my posture. I use a computer which is completely silent (solid state drive and no fans). I think it is connected to muscle tension in my neck and the consequent pressure. I have quite strong hyperacusis (I am doing sound therapy now) and somehow this also causes a...

    Prevent Opened Auditory Tube Disorder / Patulous Eustachian Tube from Getting Worse

    Hello, Allow me to begin with that I am grateful for life and everything that is in it. I have tinnitus and hyperacusis. I am curing the hyperacusis right now. My right auditory tube sometimes opens and remains like that for a while. I want to prevent it from getting worse. I am also...

    What Is the Best Method to Make Progress and Increase Sounds?

    Hi, I have severe hyperacusis. It was induced by overprotection. As it stands, it is causing many healths problems because of restricting from normal activities. I want to expose my ears to sounds so that it can get used to it. What do you think is the best option? How is the noise exposure...

    Treating Tinnitus with Silence?

    No, but I have seen multiple people both here and on facebook who had problems with it, some had permanent worsening. As far as I can tell noise is a big stress for any audio system, it doesn't seem to be loud but it is a stress.

    Vitamin Supplement (Nicotinamide Riboside) Successfully Prevents Noise-Induced Hearing Loss

    I have been taking NR for the past month, 100mg/day. I think it makes a difference but it's not significant, at least not at this dose. In the next month I will be taking the same total amount but not evenly ditributed and see if that has a better effect. Others who are taking this, please post...

    Vitamin Supplement (Nicotinamide Riboside) Successfully Prevents Noise-Induced Hearing Loss

    I am really looking forward to this. Right now I have a fear of sounds and if NR would be confirmed to have the same effect on humans, my fears would go away. Since this works on a really low level I hope that it has a good chance to work the same as well, maybe the research team would be able...

    Hi everyone! I have T and H and I am a bit stuck right now. The last few months have been relatively good in terms of T loudness, but it has also became very reactive. I wear ear plugs at home and even the sound of taking a shower causes a spike that lasts 2-3 days. Here is my timeline so far...

    Tinnitus For Almost 7 Months

    If your T really gets better with open mouth then it might be a TMJ problem (the joint which holds the jaw). Here I have seen people with this and when they got it treated their T was usually gone or very quiet. I don't know how they treat TMJ problems, but now at least you have an idea of the...

    How does the tinnitus sound? How fast is the pulsating? Maybe it is related to the asthalin inhaler, could there be a connection?

    Hello, My Name Is Amanda and I Need Help. I'm Becoming Suicidal.

    You being stressed due to tinnitus doesn't mean that stress can't worsen or cause tinnitus in general. From my experience often when I'm depressed I often feel that I'm stressed, but they are a bit different. When I was once really stressed before an exam my T got much worse and it took days to...

    Tinnitus For a Month

    Hi, I think you have good chances of making it go away since it started recently. Please take a look at my suggestions on a very similar case: https://www.tinnitustalk.com/threads/hello-from-mexico.6261/#post-67890 I would happily write it again, but really those are my best suggestions.

    Hey Ashley, I think if you have any vascular problems left a round of steroids should fix them. Neural activites are probably less urgent to look after. Please take a look at this post: https://www.tinnitustalk.com/threads/hello-from-mexico.6261/#post-67890 Edit, here is an article about...

    @Marius T Sorry for not tagging you in my previous post. You should really take a look at what I've linked, if your T is not that loud and it started recently you have pretty good chances to make it go with Prednisone.

    Hello from Mexico

    For some people the T goes back somewhat after the injection is out of the system, but since you got it really in time I think you have good chances of keeping it low. Be careful though, your ears are still sensitive. Also, I forgot to mention that you can buy acetylcysteine/NAC without...

    Should I Not Even Consider Going to a Concert...

    There is no proper protection, everyone has different hearing. Normal city traffic is not at nice sound levels at all. @Luke123497 I'm glad about your decision.

    Is this hyperacusis?

    I think you have hyperacusis. When you damage the hearing your dynamic range becomes less wide and thus hyperacisus will develop, meaning that you can't tell if a sound is medium loudness or very loud. I suggest protecting your ears if you feel discomfort. When I damaged my ears it didn't hurt...

    Earplugs Making Tinnitus Worse?

    Hello from Mexico

    Hello Chinto, I would like to point out 3 medicines that are shown to work in many cases and that I know of. The first is methylprednisolone or prednisone. (From what I know prednisone is used in the US and methylprednisolone is used in Europe for the same reason, I don't know about Mexico.)...

    No Hearing Loss and No Damaged Hair Cells

    The 'normal' hearing range is very wide compared to how little hearing loss can manifest in tinnitus.

    Earplugs Making Tinnitus Worse?

    I've had my ears plugged for almost the entire summer, and I can confirm that the sound is really different when it is alone. I don't think that any change in intensity is permanent although you can overuse them and the lack of ventillation might cause problems. How long did it take to go back...
