Loud tinnitus and mild tinnitus may require different doses of regenerative drug to treat, but seem to result from the same damage. As long as the cause is SNHL it looks like you'll be ok.
I feel you. I have managed to live with loud intrusive tinnitus for four years having bad episodes and then times of complete habituation. Two months ago things changed for the worse and my tinnitus got louder. Now I don't even see myself enduring one more month with this. I wake up to horrible anxiety. I am plagued with suicidal thoughts. Have stopped reading, listening to music (I did it at a very low volume and no headphones), meeting friends... I spend most of the day at home where it obviously sounds louder. I am obsessed about it. It's a complete mess.
Hey El Buzz, what happened 2 months ago? I really feel for you.
Dig deep friend, you can do it. No checking out now. I really understand your pain and despair. If you have loved ones close by, soak up the love, it helps. Sending you and all suffers who find themselves here love and the strength to hold on to coming treatments being trialed now and possible changes in your tinnitus that could be for the better.
Usual christmas meetings with their noisy features, despite me trying to be protected (earplugs) all the time. Got stuck under one of those movement detectors in the door of a shop (LOUD deee daaa sound, maybe sounded three times), then went through a bad cold. So, go figure what could have caused this.
Absolutely agree. Very difficult for me to think straight these days.
Knowledge of typical FDA timelines and not expecting any completely unforeseen delays.
Hang in there man. It's gonna take a while but you'll get out of this. Technically your road to recovery started only 8 days ago when you got off pregabalin.
Please use an earplug in your symptomatic ear. These are hyperacusis/TTTS/ASD symptoms that will be exacerbated by sound exposure. Using protection can help you manage them.
No, the whole rhetoric of overprotecting is based on a study of healthy ears wearing plugs for 24 hours a day for an extended period of time and becoming temporarily more sensitive. I always plug my symptomatic ear when going to parties, the movies, or any loud environment. When I am around the house or another quiet location I do not plug.
What about ear pain and crackling? I think the existence of this two conditions is a concern even if there was this ideal drug in the pipeline.
It's amazing that are trying to work. I wish my tinnitus was quieter so I could try.
News is released as trials are complete not before. Head on over to the research section if you want to see what drugs are being studied and what info is known so far.
