Has anyone asked them about tinnitus?

After my tinnitus spike 6 months ago my tinnitus get very volatile when I'm exposed to sound and music even at very normal levels. I did habituate during these months as prior I was woken up several times because of the tinnitus as it was very high after the spike. Nowadays as soon as I watch...

I'm going to try this, with low hope. How was experience?

Since T. is connected to the brain, and possibly that the T. has created neuron connections which makes the current T. sound and is no longer connected to your damaged hair cells, but just isolated in your brain. How will new hair cells cure this?

Cutting the auditory nerve out does that mean that there is no connection between the brain and hair cells? If yes, shouldn't then your brain go viral in tinnitus as the brain doesn't connect with the hair cells any longer? And then there is no cure with cell transplant that will renew the hair...

Seems really bad: https://selfhacked.com/blog/why-i-dont-supplement-with-piracetam/

I had been listening to headphones many times without any issues, but not this time, just after 20 min my T. increased, I got that feeling "Oh noo" and is now like that permanent.

Just casual music. It wasn't that loud, I measured it afterwards with an Android app. The funny thing is that I only used them for 20 minutes. I have before listened many times using headphones for hours without any complication. Just one of those days when your T. decided to ruin my life for ever.

I'm like you, had mild T. 2/10 for 12 years, got one spike after 12 years, but managed to get it down again. Now 6 months ago due to headphone usage my T. got 5/10 and is currently 6.5/10. The worst thing now is that it's permanent like this, and even sounds low as 50-70 dB make my T. spike...

You live here, you should know, compare it with any other country you are familiar with. Find out if you are interested. I just stated that Sweden is leading when it comes to research. Usually people with common surnames that wish to sound more hip, purchase surnames as Brahe, Vasa... As these...

Not thinking it will do any harm. Music is tempting, specially through headphones.

Yes, have a look at the R&D per capita: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_countries_by_research_and_development_spending

I haven't found the original thread so I will post Antinitus results here. 1. I have suffered from mild acoustic tinnitus since 2000. 2. In 2012 after a headphone session my tinnitus spiked a lot, luckily I brought it down with homeopathic medicine. 3. Another spike in my tinnitus, similar to...

How is your current progress with the T.?

I took the first batch yesterday, drops in my mouth and drops in one ear. Can't say it did anything miraculeuse. It feels it changed the bothersome frequencies to a more adaptable. Sometime during the night it felt that the overall pitch got lowered, sometimes higher. It was hard to get a grip...

Same here, had one hiss sound for 15 years, not loud, hardly noticed it. Now permanent spike with another frequency sound, much louder and more annoying, resembles an old alarm ring clock.

After a shower if I don't clean my ears, next day there is a wax build up, either it falls out, but then I need to use my fingers. If I clean my ears with cotton, just close to the outside ear, wax never builds. Don't know if water in the ears makes the ear produce wax, just as something...

I did it last weekend, stayed for hours in a pub, background noise 70-75dB. On my way home, my T. was going like crazy. Got better the next day, but one day it might not. Never had this problem, until a recent perm spike in my T. now it seems something is terribly wrong. Will I go out, yea...

Have to try this then.

I'm saying this for your own good as I feel your are not taking this to serious and are feeling the pressure of your surrounding that don't know how you really feel about it. Once you get T. there is a chance that you can recover or lower it significantly, especially if you try with any...

Shouldn't matter, just make sure it's distilled cold. A recent study regarding Nigella Sativa oilhttps://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC5523001/

I can assure you that homeopathic meds and some herbs will help, either way it will keep you calm as you will have something to rely on and keep the hops up. I tried Ring Stop but had better success with Newton Homeopathics Ear Ringing. If the meds help you you are lucky and the damage allows...

When I was younger I thought about doing a career in the military. From your experience is it common with tinnitus in the military? Did you wear ear protection and was it a single shot? Was it just a ordinary hand gun, those are not that loud. But I guess you can't protect your ears at all...

My T. is much better than last week. So I guess now that there is a reason for a thread like this. I hope it will get much better than what it currently is.

I had mild T. since 2000, at the age of 20. I used headphones and went to clubs without any issues. Then 6 months ago I had a noisy job for a couple of months, one day at home, I listened to music through headphones, quite loud. That spiked my T. and now I'm quite messed up. Can't do those...

You should google "isotretinoin AND ototoxicity"

What kind of medicine did you use? There are some ototoxic medicine that can cause T.

Don't rely to much in doctors or science, they are people just like us, they go to work at 9 and get home at 5. There is no magic cure for something as complex as tinnitus.

I was scared to death myself. The noise seems to psychologically affect us and lead us into a depressive state. Luckily since my spike this Saturday the noise has started to deteriorate. The fists days I was being woken up 5 times a night by a loud squeaking noise, but these nights it has lost...

Yes, some kind of personality change, hard to describe. Might be something with the brain and the pitch it receives, bothering the function of how it operates.

First time I had mild tinnitus I tried: Newton Homeopathics Ear Ringing (pellets) I could immediately feel difference, and just after a week my tinnitus got really low. And I took this pellets years after I had tinnitus. Second time I developed a more severe tinnitus, strangely they didn't...

Have you tried homeopathic medicine, that has helped me, and could be a better support than alcohol. I can link you to some good brands that I have tried.

Of experience how high pitched can the tinnitus state be permanently? I have had low pitch for over 15 years, started high, but I fought it. During these years I could only hear it in a silent room, when sleeping, and only if I was thinking about it, as the brain somehow ignored it, as it...

High heart rate exercise do help in it's own way, not only for tinnitus, but for general well being. An having tinnitus, which creates anxiety we need to clear the negative thoughts with exercise. It won't cure your tinnitus but it will help you fight it much better.

For best music fidelity I would go with the Earasers, but they don't block that much noise compared to other. Read upon how their technology work. Then there are the ISOLATE® Aluminium Ear Plugs, works great, blocks allot of noise but you will still enjoy music much better than regular foam plugs.

I found some info, yet we are talking about 35-65 dB if what I used: Hearing damage from headphones is probably more common than from loudspeakers, because many people exploit the acoustic isolation by listening at higher volumes. Moreover, the risk of hearing damage from headphones is higher...

I have a hard time doing that, as I enjoy music or gaming through headphones, but will be even more careful, than I have been. My damaged the first time came through closed headphones, and this last gaming session they where open headphones. The volume was lower than when I got higher spike...

It's an Android phone app: Sound Analyzer App (https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.dom.audioanalyzer&hl=en)

I have had minor tinnitus for over 15 years, after a nightclub visit, I dealt with it quite well as it was only hearable when it was completely silenced when sleeping and only if I was thinking about it. Many times I could listen to loud music and visit clubs unprotected without worsening it...

Tried it last night. There was no magic.

Any luck with this? I might try it myself. Will pick it up from Apoteket.

How do you find out what frequency your T is?

It's just marketing, neither false nor true. Maybe those people felt better, maybe it really helped or it too could have been a placebo effect, they will post those that said something positive. Marketing is always going try to convince us how good one product is in all markets, it's nothing we...

Ginkgo biloba, Zinc picolinate and Garlic wouldn't convince me. There are other more complex remedies one can try.

A quick update: Since I started three weeks ago, I have had two occasions lasting about 36 hours with high pitch T. The pitch is just as I had before starting the treatment. I don't know what is causing this, although it scared me.

Hi Donna, welcome. Hope you find a solution for your T.

When I googled the name I just received a couple of hits, one from Amazon and one from Dragonherbs. But sure try the one from Newton Labs first, works very well, and the others I don't know if they are just herbs or homeopathic. Regarding the ototoxity, scary that there are in so many...

Thanks Karen I will keep you updated about my progress and so do you too. It's a huge relief not to have the T I had in the first month, the sound could be described just as a motor saw cutting through stone, very annoying and depressing. Yet I'm afraid this could one day worsen and come back is...

Karen Happy to hear that it has helped you too, yes it's the Ear Ringing Formula, and I as you have been taking 6 pellets three times per day, since 23 of November. I noticed the biggest improvement already after some days. Not so much then after. But sure it did help, before I couldn't even...

Thanks for the reply, just to add in this thread also, is that I got my tinnitus in 2000 on the holiday, the T that didn't bother me for over twelve years. Two months ago I cought I nice song which I listened to for some hour through headphones, very loud, around 98-103 dB, measured. This gave...

As I introduced myself, I used to have a very low T, which only could be heard if I was concentrating on it in bed. This T I received because of a noise trauma in a club. What I want to ask is that the first year my ears where cracking all the time, and sometimes hurting, the cracks where like...

Is 8 hours a day ok? When going out to, at and from uni? Thinking people wear protection in certain work situations daily, maybe it shouldn't be a problem if I do it for two months.

Indeed, although I think it's here to stay now at this noise level. The first three weeks I was wearing earplugs whenever I went out, and that kind of lowered it a bit, but still it was much higher from what I have been used to, and I could still hear it like in a train or bus. This last week...

I got tinnitus 2000, at a club where they played the music over the limits, so much that I walked away after a while. That night I had a ringing in the ear, just as you sometimes get when not having tinnitus. In the morning the noise was there and that scared me, because this was the first time...
