Hearing test? I'm going to schedule to take another one sometime before the middle of April.

Yeah, I hope it improves too, like more than I've hoped for anything else in my entire life.
@Paulmanlike 's audiogram improved without going to SK for therapy.

I'm very skeptical of John.

It did. 2 weeks ago I had a 30 dB loss at 6 kHz falling into 'mild loss'. Yesterday I was told my hearing was perfect (in standard audiogram terms).

The only explanation is that maybe my tinnitus was worse then and I struggled hearing the tones. Both times my ear were free of wax.

Just right now my tinnitus in my ear diminished to mild while my whole head screeched. 10 mins later the tinnitus returned in ear and the head noise went back to baseline.

noxacusis presist after 3 years since it's onset.

An ENT that has been in practice for 30 years has not heard of said condition.

John Adams, if your hearing didn't improve, but your tinnitus reduced greatly or disappeared...wouldn't that be awesome. I know that our hearing loss has caused our tinnitus, but I'm just putting that out there. I want your audiograms to improve, I want your hearing restored... but for me I don't mind saying what, could you repeat that, it's the fucking noise in my head that is killing me. I know this convoluted, I have brain damage... sorry, I'm really interested to know about your tinnitus generally.

Has it reduced, is it less aggravating, torturous? Don't respond now. Down the line, when you feel you can answer that. The tinnitus is a subjective question I think, different than an audiogram.

Anyways, no memes from Daniel, I am a spazz and on my kids tablet, wouldn't know how to do one. Take it easy.

he has had a history of his tinnitus going into remisison before, it's impossible for his tinnitus to improve without hearing.
 
Experimenting with a healing peptide called bpc-157 and my sound sensitivity is gone. I use it intranasally but it does work systemically, figured nose was the best route. I also started taking Lion's Mane around the same time, which could be enhancing the BPC-156. Tinnitus is also a much much lower and even more tolerable than it previously was...(I have been habituating or tinnitus has reduced over time). This could all be luck and not at all be attributed to the peptide but it's a powerful healer and believe it's very much possible. Seams as though I've had a small improvement in hearing as well but I couldn't be sure unless I had a hearing test. Still patiently waiting for FX-322 to show its beautiful face and cure me of my hearing loss, but I believe this is a cheap, safe, low risk experiment. Been on a week and no side effects to report other than my acid reflux is gone, my feet don't ache anymore, joints feel like they've been soaking in KY, maybe some vision improvement and sound sensitivity is gone or greatly reduced.

parallels to tinnitus and phantom syndromes are everywhere.

This post killed me, on so many levels. I don't know what your occupation is, but you're very smart, an amazing researcher, and should be working with Liberman, Heller at Stanford, or at Frequency Therapeutics. You would hold your own and would really help the world be a better place. I know some senior epidemiologists, and could try and help. You are a scientist, your gifts are a great benefit to us, tormented brain damaged folk on this forum. Honestly man, I'd pull for you. As I said before, keep it up, pun intended. Horrible I know, but how can one resist

No offense to anyone but @Contrast does not hold a university degree. Nobody would take him seriously.
 
Pawel Jastreboff has a University degree. Does anybody take that pig seriously?
Yes, he was and still is taken seriously by the majority of people and professionals. Just look how he dominated the tinnitus world for 2 decades. TRT is still the only accepted treatment method in many countries.

MPP gang's opinions do not carry weight in the real world - Jastreboff's does. Unfortunately, this is the truth.

Hi AnnV, no offense taken.

Contrast has the intellectual prowless to blow away your average college chump, and as we know many MD's, doctors are negligent and incompetent, you could say the same for lawyers. Do I need to give examples? It would be a long post, I could start with the ENT who failed to give me steroids at a crucial window or even recommend HBOT or any other therapy when I had a acoustic trauma. Damage done. I take Contrast seriously, and know he struggles with his demons, as we all do. If he's not in school, he should be, and I actually believe people, professionals who are researchers would take him seriously, may even hire him and help him get a scholarship to acquire his credentials. The guy is younger than us AnnV, we should encourage him, not be so trigger happy with the negative vibe, even though you will surely say your being realistic. I appreciate your smarts as well, always interested in what you have to say....peace out.

Wait wait wait, you mean a bunch of elitist scam artists who have a distressing problem with zero tangible solution, love the idea of making lots of cash off of the victims with practically nothing? I have never heard that one before.

Ann, just because he is taken seriously doesn't mean squat. There have been countless medical procedures as well as drugs that were taken seriously but are now found to be antiquated, dangerous, and in some cases illegal. Birth control devices no longer used, benzo diazepans once the highest selling drug on earth... now found to be dangerous and prescribed very sparingly for short term, breast cancer operations... the list goes on.

Just because something is accepted by the status quo doesn't mean it's correct. Surely you would agree with the logic I'm presenting. I think it was the IUD, or something like that became illegal in the US and we sent it to South America. In the 60's and 70's doctors and industrialists convinced mothers not to breast feed and use formula. We now know moms milk is good for the immune system of the baby, etc.... I'm not going to get super technical, I got three kids screaming next to me as I write, but you get my drift. If you want me to cite examples throughout medical history, I will... but begrudgingly, I got to help my kid with his home work now, whose teacher calls small pox, small fox, and is wrong, a lot of the time about a lot of stuff. I'm a teacher, I don't call his teacher on it, I just teach my kid what his teacher fails to do. Another incompetent professional, this time messing with my kid. I'm trying to take the high road, trying to be peaceful, because when I explode it's scary.

I wish, my original goal was starting classes for environmental conservationalism/environmental biology before my acoustic trauma gave me noxacusis, trigiminal nerve pain, tinnitus and muffled hearing.

I don't like to view myself as a snowflake, This isn't an 80's movie where hard work actually pays off, (and I don't even work hard anymore because I'm not motivated) because I'm depressed disabled with trigeminal neuralgia, muffled hearing my right ear and a couple of mental illnesses. (autism and borderline personality disorder) as well as awful circumstances

I'd love to go to higher schooling more then anything (except treatments) but the reality is I won't be qualified, I'm just a ranting raving lunatic intentionally posting thought provoking comments on the forum because it's the best way to spread my idea of research being a top priority.

Doing this is literally the only thing currently that prevents me from suicide and that's pathetic.

I'm starting to realize people who don't suffer from mental disabilties and pre-existing depression are capable of living with "noise induced pain" because the neurotypical brain is hardwired to adapt to horrible scenarios, the austistic brain can't adapt to radical consequences. If you read some post of mine I am literally childishly mocking people who learn to live with hearing damage.

I'm a failure, do not idolize me.
 
also my mental illness causes me to view reality as a joke, that's why I make memes about my suffering or memes about very controversial issues. It's not that I don't care it's just that I'm immuned to strong emotions due to a mental rollercoaster.

If you always go from mania to depression eventually you start to view those emotions as an inconvenient illusion, I also get moments where I feel motivated to make a different and give up. (this is borderline personality disorders key traits) so then when I see someone else with strong passionate emotions about making a life change (I've already been there in and out a million times) and they fail and try again. I obviously will find crude humor from their struggle, because I've been on too many emotional rollercoasters.

One could argue my mind is riddled with anecdotal evidence and I just fail at life
 
He's like 20 years old, he's got time. It's like you just pop up from time to time and spread your negativity.
I've got two university degrees, one in biomed engineering technology, and a ridiculously arrogant person in this forum has criticized my ability to understand medical papers I've studied and posted. So having a degree doesnt guarantee that people will take you seriously.
