Been doing pretty decent for a couple of weeks! Didnt get any spike from below accident with the grinder. Today i sat next to someone that had a OBNOXIOUS loud ringtone close to me today for about 20 Second (it was ringing and he had to "finish talking" before he aswered it.) He sat right next to me so i was probably 40-50 CM away in a meeting. Did a quick search and our "work phones" can reach 105 DB at 10 CM away. Hopefully i will be okay

What the heck did I found in my ear?

So, I have a choice. Be nauseous 24/7 and feel like my head has been hit like a baseball bat OR feel somewhat normal, but be tired. I did some major damage to myself 6 months ago, and I've been slightly nauseous and had balance issues since then. Luckily Betaserc medication helps, but makes me tired.

Anxiety has been killing me. T doesn't even seem that much worse. More bothersome than usual? Sure. But the way that my ears FEEL is getting to me. I can't help but to feel like I'm on borrowed time.

Soon planning my end i don't want to exist anymore. Sorry fam

Hi Jack, I saw you are from Czechia, can you please tell me which otoneurologist have you visited here or do you know any good doctor that can help with Tinnitus?

Had all the nasty parts, reactive, hyperacusis and not even close to maskable. No pain though…

Hi, am not here that often because I consider myself cured. Let me know if I can help in any way

I'm thinking to get steroid shot in my ear to recover hearing loss, since I lost since last Friday, I done it 9 years ago before, now I'm thinking do the same, what do you guys think?

Hi @Christiaan

Wondering if you're still around and if you still follow the microdosing protocol, if not hoping you can advise how long you were on it for and how long you've been off it

Thanks

hi @alanisnotadj

I see back in 2023 you talk about gabapentin helping with your hyperacusis and nox, but then I see your response in the linre thread about Duloxetine & Mirtazapine helping these. I'm hoping you can provide more insight into what helped more or was it more of a compounding effect? Also for the D and M, did you start at 30mg or work your way up?

If you read my intro I'm very much where you were regarding contacting agencies.

Thank you

Audiologist appointment next week and I guess the gist is to avoid every test besides the standard hearing test correct?

Hit my first T birthday on Friday. It feels so unreal. Still 4 days in Rehab. Met so many sufferers...

I am starting clomipramine soon i dont care. I need something for my pain.

I want to get better. I will have to get better for my family, for my brother and for my girlfriend. I am a good human being and i know it. I have a pure heart. I never harmed anyone else besides myself. I have to be better. I have to heal. Even if not physhically but mentally. This shit gotta hardened me i want to live i want to be a good person again. Make people laugh again even if i stay depressed my whole life. I want to make my mom happy.

New here. Found this site while reviewing Quietum Plus. Does anyone know if this supplement really works?

Hi Albert, I have might similar exploding head syndrom in my ear/head. How can I contact you here? Best

Are you any better

Multiple fire alarm tests at work today. Open T/Talk every time.

I was at the checkout in a DIY store, waiting for the customer in front of me to be served. A young lady—she was cheerful and upbeat, and that clearly rubbed off on the employee behind the counter. I don't get out much anymore because of my hyperacusis and tinnitus. It was confronting: people are happy and carefree. I don't know that feeling anymore; I can't enjoy anything. Not even silence, because it never exists. I think tinnitus and hyperacusis are among the most horrific conditions out there. It's enough to make anyone depressed.

I've been having these sudden spikes in my tinnitus lately. Obviously really annoying but has anybody been experiencing this due to the weather? ChatGPT said that the sudden drop in Barometric Pressure coincides with my spikes, but other factors like emotions and sinus congestion could be contributing. Dealing with another sudden spike but my sinuses seem to be just fine now.

I'm thinking go to ENT today, as I barely hear my voice in two mornings now, it's quite annoying to deal with this, but good news is vibration, and echo is gone, well vibration almost gone, but the ringing is back to normal which doesn't bother me much than my hearing right now.

I want to die, my tinnitus has only gotten worse over the past six years.
Now I hear something like the sound of a vacuum cleaner, and my other sounds are more intense (high-pitched sounds, electrical sounds, the sound of a dental drill, Morse code, the sound of pipes). I can't sleep at all
I live locked up in my home, I don't know what is causing this worsening. Could it be the Mirtazapine?

thanks for asking. No I haven't. I'm having a really bad day today. I washed my hair for the first time in 2 weeks and I've caused a major spike. I was on antibiotics last week and I took a sleeping tablet every day with the 7 day course. Last night was my first night off antibiotics and sleeping pills and I only slept for about an hour. Think I'm hooked on the sleeping tablets even though I only get about 4 hours sleep with them, its still better than the usual none or one hour.

I'm demented with this. I fight suicidal thoughts every day. I'm seeing a private audiologist who specialises in hyperacusis but that too is really extreme. I just don't have the energy to kill myself but this is so difficult to live with. Are you better? How do you cope with this?

Today i was outside in the "factory" where i work and i needed to get past someone that was using an angle grinder. Was like 1 metre away from him when he started to cut thru a big pipe. Very uncomfortable but had mine SNR 35 DB moldex earplugs so i think i will be safe.

Kingsfan if it's by allergies then it be easier to recover from it, I'm hoping it's a cold like my uncle said, but however unfortunately my cousin grandmother lives around here and smokes outside, so I'm not sure if Eustachian Tube Dysfunction caused by this.

Had a meeting today at my work. I use jabra speaker for teamcalls. I thought it was very "annoying to my ears" and double checked the volume after like 5 minutes into the meeting and it was on 60% (i always got it on 20% on volume). Probably my coworkers borrowed it and increased the sounds and didnt tell me. Dont think that will hurt me but it is very annoying and aggrevated my ears quite alot.

you still take clonazepam?

I'm having a tough day today, and that's probably just the result of a weekend where I had to give up my comfortable solitude for two days.

Twenty-two months later I begin to resume my hobbies
