I haven’t tested the patches long enough or consistently enough to reach a definitive conclusion, but the two times I’ve used them, I definitely noticed some relief, and my tinnitus seemed quieter. Even though the tinnitus fluctuates regularly, the relief felt more significant than the usual...

No worries, I suppose we can't really know. I'll just have to get the ones with Lidocaine only and try them out. If they don't seem to work, I'll try the Aspercreme.

Thanks for replying. Of course, I understand, I would just prefer to limit the amount of damaging chemicals entering my body. Is there any reason why the lidocaine only patches I linked wouldn't work? Do all the additional ingredients make the lidocaine more effective? Hi @Josh59, I have...

I did read the topic, and while I'm concerned about my tinnitus possibly worsening, as others have experienced, I recently had a permanent spike that has been extremely stressful. I'm now looking for anything that might help. I have both somatic and reactive tinnitus, so I'm hoping this might...

I would really like to try this but I'm not ok with some of the ingredients in the Aspercreme brand: https://www.ewg.org/cleaners/substances/11353-NONOXYNOL30/ Does anyone think another brand with apparently only 3 ingredients would be acceptable...

I've just recently discovered these same exercises and some neck mobility ones and they definitely help. If not directly with the tinnitus then at least with relaxation. They are beneficial for everyone whether one has tinnitus or not and only take a few minutes max to do. Vagus Nerve...

Saw this thread for the first time last night and it made me think about how my tinnitus (specifically in the ear of the same side as the arm that received the shot) became a bit worse immediately after my second dose and how I wondered if it was connected and after receiving my booster shot...

Which is all the decent time we have left before climate change changes most of our lives and so much is on fire... suppose it's best to have a crazy cyborg cure before everything turns to sh*t and have good hearing for survival though... it's definitely fascinating and will most likely cure...

Hello Everyone, I have been reading a few of the threads regarding all of the things in the thread title lately and thought I would post my recent experience putting them all together. I usually smoke cannabis every day and usually find it easy to obtain, however, I've been travelling for...

I've thought of this often over my life that too much masturbation may have been a contributing factor in my tinnitus and it makes some sense if you consider that "Sperm and semen require a lot of specific nutrition. Some of these nutrients include Zinc, Omega 3 Fats, and Vitamin E. All of those...

@FGG Yes, seems like that would be a good way to suss it out. I heard/read over the last year or so of a tribe (I think it was in South America) who whispers to preserve their hearing for hunting in the jungle but I can't find anything with a quick search.

For all the reasons they give for why one has hearing loss in old age this suggestion seems to admit right there that it's mostly noise exposure that gives you hearing loss in old age. https://www.hopkinsmedicine.org/health/conditions-and-diseases/presbycusis What can I do to prevent...

@Jack Straw I believe I read somewhere within the last year that age related hearing loss isn't actually true. Modern life is just so noisy that most elderly people end up with hearing loss. I just did a quick google search and couldn't find anything though so perhaps I am wrong. It's not such...

@Don Tinny According to Clearance it was pretty severe. I know, I have made the same mistakes many times myself, but I think part of ignoring protecting one's ears is because one already has a problem and perhaps doesn't necessarily see a cure or just stops caring all the time. If I was able...

@Flyingsheep I know, and I understand, I also repeatedly do not protect my ears as is often enough, just something about Clearance's sudden appearance and story and the information didn't seem to line up for me is all. I try to take things with a grain of salt.

@Clearance Perhaps your story is the truth and perhaps you are not being cruel but perhaps you do have something to gain from it? Yes, I know that we as humans tend to block out the bad times we have had but if your tinnitus was as bad as you say in your first post I don't think that you...

@Candy I know the story is plausible but it just seems odd.

@Phi I would as well but either due to not being able to afford First Class or not choosing my own seat (work books the flight for me) I don't really have a choice about seating.

Also, I've been flying for work a lot in the last six months and even with my tinnitus and hyperacusis I didn't really feel the need to wear my earplugs (as they unfortunately bother my ears if in for too long) but the noise on planes definitely is super-annoying and unbearable. My ears have...

@Ken219 Yeah, something seemed a little odd about @Clearance's story to me as well. Especially how easily they kept letting her back into treatment, and how she seemingly wasn't protecting her ears anymore because she "just forgot". I don't think that ANYONE on this board or who has tinnitus...

I think the reason they ask about tongue piercings is not just because of the metal but because you have to clip the device to your tongue and a piercing would be in the way. If other metal in the mouth was an issue I'm sure they would have mentioned that in the questionnaire as @gorzakus...

Does anyone know if this type of treatment would work with a SCENAR/TENS machine?

Interesting thread... I've recently started micro-dosing Psilocybin to help with my depression after a number of casual uses and a few years of reading studies about using it for therapy, ranging from depression and addiction (quitting smoking) to accepting mortality when one has a terminal...

I would enjoy the wind rustling through the leaves and reading in silence and all of my excellent high end hearing I have lost and I would start a supergroup with all of my former bandmates and also join as many other bands as I can while protecting my ears properly.

Wondering if anyone else gets the sensation that when they close their eyes their hearing seems a little better or more focused? Like when you lose one sense others are heightened. https://www.scientificamerican.com/article/superpowers-for-the-blind-and-deaf/ I've wondered for a while about...

Good advice. I need to start taking a magnesium supplement again. I've recently started taking Nicotinamide Riboside which is part of the B family but haven't been taking a proper B vitamin at all for years... Also recently started drinking golden milk and have been slacking on drinking enough...

Hi Everyone, This may sound odd but here is something that I do when I get momentary spikes (?) (moments when my ear is taken over by a loud tone and everything in that ear is muffled and it can take seconds or minutes to hopefully "disappear") I try to hum (a deep, whole head hum) to vibrate...

Sorry to hear about your spike Lilith, has it subsided by now? I've had many spikes even while wearing ear plugs and it's always disappointing if not surprising. Also have had the same social experiences and loss of a creative passion. I still have to be careful about what events I go to, and I...

Started taking Life Extension's version on Monday. Felt that something positive happened both Monday and yesterday many hours after taking it. Perhaps it was just a placebo effect though. Intensity, pitch, and volume of Tinnitus seemed lower and my hearing seemed clearer than usual and my sleep...

I should add that I've been looking around the forums for a few weeks now and have looked at a number of threads concerning some of my thoughts (hyberbaric oxygen chamber, etc.) in the treatments and research threads but haven't really looked through the alternative treatments threads yet.

Hello Everyone, I've had noise induced tinnitus for 12 years. I have been drumming since the age of 4 and believe that the cumulative effect of playing for so many years is what led to my tinnitus and hearing loss at a young age. Also playing without hearing protection for so long. I also...
