@4Grace yeah I'm doing good. Dealing with the noise so much better. Maybe I habituated. I just try to go on every day. I miss you too and pray you will eventually get better. I just pray mine never gets worse later on down the road.
I have bad static noise in my left ear once again that is really annoying. DMSO seemed to help short term but now I'm back to this torment.
Hey mate is your nox gone? can i improve i have mild nox i can listen digital audio but i have catastrophic ocd

Hope the nox has continued to improve, chief. I resonate with that though, I'd have happily sat in absolute silence if it was not for the T competing for my attention.

I didn't live with my partner at nox's worst, but I might as well have done - I spent most time outside of work with her, principally because she was so supportive. She suffers from minor T too, so could relate to an extent.

thank you bro if i can yell without too much pain is it mild nox?
Joshua Macleod
I really couldn't say for certain - I did notice an increased sensitivity to noises I didn't cause (dropped cutlery, other people shouting), but I didn't spend too much time yelling to test it!

It certainly sounds like you're improving somewhat - let's hope it continues, but don't worry if it fluctuates in severity - it does do that.
how is your tdcs treatment bro

Gonna write up a report in about a month. Its hard to say. Feels like it may have helped but its not world changing. I am going to stop treatment for awhile and see if I notice any difference. I couldn't recommend it yet.
As I'm working with AI lately and it amazes me every day I'm building hope scientific research using AI might help solving tinnitus and hyperacusis sooner than expected. 🤞
Seems i'm sentenced to take gabapentine on a daily basis. If I don't T is much more electrical/static and my ear channels burn. Resulting in a permanent headache. It sucks
Hello old friend. Miss you. Hope you are doing okay. Same old here. Too many words to describe my situation. I feel good enough to rejoin life. Just home bound. Just noise, no pain, hard but you can do it. No question.

Sorry to hear your still homebound my friend. But glad to hear you have gotten a break from the pain. Small improvements are better then none I suppose. Be well.
Hey buddy. I miss you and love you. So happy to hear your sleep is better.
L along the way
Can I add.. i still have hope in the healing journey.. that's basically what I live on I guess.. The thing is.. without dramatisation.. t just is such a discomfortable affliction, and it interfered with my daily life in the form of having a good night's rest.. and just to experience wellbeing. Man.. I pray for these things

You speak of euthanasia and it makes a tear run down my face. Life does not accommodate this horrific condition. I want to tell you that I understand. You are not alone. Your feelings are valid. It's okay to feel what you feel. I isolate due to extreme pain but loved ones see this is as a sign of weakness. Isolation in itself can become impossible for some.

I wish at the least my words would be understood with my family. At this point I struggle to see how human compassion is zero. I love you brother keep the hope.
Yes, the 1,000 $ treatment. Exactly 1,200 $...
...but when you consider that I have already spent over 4,000 euros on my German tinnitus counselor, it's almost "cheap" in comparison.
hello everyone. How is everyone doing? I'm still in the trenches of the hell. It's gonna be almost 8 months and it's still the same as the day it started. I won't ever change I know that. It feels like a fucking joke tbh. I still remember the day 1 as yesterday.
Noise all the time 24/7 buzzing, static, electricity. So much worse than last year. But yeah the noise is worse, but heating to deal with the sound a lot better. I still have days I don't think I will make it, but I keep busy, keep going and try not to think about my T. It's the worst thing that has ever happened to me and my family.
Just checking in…haven't been on here for months. It's been so long, I didn't know the layout changed! lol
8mo update: Pretty much same as last mo. I have good news tho: someone at my work who got tinnitus a year ago has moments of silence. She used to have straight EEEEE, but now there are pauses in between. I'm going to take a break from posting monthly. I'll come back and post if anything changes for me.
Wow so it's been a year since my accident. I still regret that day but am so grateful to hear the way I do right now even though it's still not perfect.

Has your hearing loss improved? Is there any progress in the level of tinnitus?
It's gotten worse now I feel... Screaming 24/7 tinnitus in my ears now especially left ear for a few days now. I really hope it calms down and goes back to it's initial baseline, it's hard to concentrate properly in this noise :(
From what I understand DMSO can be beneficial for tinnitus either taken orally, put topically on your skin, or drops in the ear. I'm still learning the doses that are safely used.
Have constant 24/7 head tinnitus almost 6 years. Over the years my tinnitus fluctuated from roaring to hissing, generator and sometimes with clicking in the tinnitus left ear. My body is in constant fight and flight and don't know how to get out of it. I pray to God every night for some relief. I still live my life, travel and enjoy my family but want habituation.

Start doing CBT you will get some kind of benefit maybe minimal, maybe significant , but even a minimal improvement in your mindset is beneficial.
Today i let a truck go past me while i was waiting at the crossroad. He honked at me as "saying thanks". Instant anxiety attack.... Man that thing was loud. Heard the truck horns can be 150 DB. Hope i dont get louder tinnitus from this, was inside the car but the honk was only like 4-5 metres away and superloud. :(
Need to go to the dentist root canal treatment: with over ear ear protection or without, what is your advice? Thanks in advance! And please, no doom talk 😊

For a root canal procedure last year I wore standard Heartek musician's earplugs with the medim range filter. It was fine for me.
Juliane
How did it go?

Thank you! I chose no ear protection because I was concerned of the occlusion effect and I got laughing gas 65%. T is very loud at the moment, I hope its just neck and jaw tension.
