Yes, I do have a level of HL which is significant to me. I average 10-20 DB from 250-8000 hz, then when I hit 12k or so I take a steep dive and at 14k or so I'm deaf as a stone.

More significant than all these numbers is that music sounds dull, deadened, missing its feel.
And my T is wild.

So, yes. I absolutely have a degree of HL which is significant to me.

I feel you there. My T is also pretty wild. Somedays it's just a beautiful EEEEEE, but today that's replaced with some head static and the pure tone is not present. On days where I don't have head static it's like my hearing is back and everything sounds good again!

I cannot do this. I cannot live without music. I'd absolutely have rather lost a limb, by far. And trust me when I say I don't say this lightly.
Fellow (former??) dedicated musicians/audiophiles, those of you for whom music was food. Spiritual sustenance. Everything, really.
How do you survive without music? How can I?? This is a genuine question. Please.

I just stopped playing electric and only play acoustic guitar now. I also dont really like music now either because I here higher frequencies louder and some other sounds in the midrange are attenuated. When I listen to a song now that I always used to I can tell the difference and reminds me what a friggen asshole I am to have done this to myself and spoils the whole thing. Except acoustic guitar, I can still thoroughly enjoy playing and singing. Thank God.

The day I drove home after my "acoustic trauma" I heard my wife's voice. It made me cry because I didn't like the sound of it. It was nowhere near as beautiful as I had remembered it for 30 years. I knew her old voice was gone forever.

Now I have forgotten the past. Sometimes memory is overrated.

Who am I kidding. All these ENTs are stuck in the Dark Ages and don't give a damn unless you have blatant HL visible on the outdated 8khz audiogram.
Even if by some miracle FX works, these ENTs won't give it to me cause according to the audiogram I "hav nyo herring lass".

On the other hand all I need is one ENT with their head not in the sand, I'd fly anywhere of course.

I could be totally off, but my sense is that the tide on this website is slowly turning from TRT-esque to genuine cure-esque, if you know what I mean.
A number of people (you know who you are) are pretty vocal about genuine treatment on multiple threads across this board, and I think it is very helpful. I'll try to step that up myself too.
Over and out #MPPStrategy

Because a cure is a bajillion times better than anything else?

Damn so otonomy's oto313 for tinnitus is a disassociate drug. Who the eff wants that shit? I'd take sobriety and tinnitus over that any day of the week.

How has the cumurin been going? Besides your drop in tinnitus have you see any other affects on your mood?

What in the world?! Having tinnitus for 5 months has made me hate the medical establishment in all of western civilization. I think they are all a bunch of dumbass cogs in a huge greedy machine. I feel like I am just slowly becoming dead. Very slowly.

I really hope this curcum experiment I am doing bears fruit. So far, my perception is subjective.

I understand your frustration. Do we even know if it'll have dissociative effects?
Am 101 was similar to ketamine and I dont think people were getting loopy off that.
But anyways I'd do ANYTHING to make it stop

Trust me on this. If there is a high chance of developing depersonalization or derealization from a drug that will get rid of tinnitus, it is not worth taking. DP and DR is another form of hell you don't want to deal with.

I dont know. Woke up this morning and my tinnitus seemed almost as bad as ever. So strange. I've had silence.

I had now nearly 4 weeks of silence (except the 3 day spike from the NAC and occasionaly a faint sound in the morning). Now i have again a hissing in my head...no idea why...

But on the bright side, the two sounds in my right ear, which i had from the beginning on, vanished nearly totally. If now the hissing/sizzling would also go away i would be happy:D

I wonder if the high pitch sizzling sounds that we are both experiencing are congruent with lost frequencies or they are like static riding on top of other lost frequencies. What do you think?
