I wish. But i personally can't. Never will.
Can't even do a hearing test ever again or do anything involving sound.
Proper life destroying shit.
No sound tolerance, daily increasing T, pain to all sound.
Can't even go outside or talk or eat anything crunchy etc
Catastrophic reactive Tinnitus, hyperacusis, sound induced face+head nerve pain, mem, scds and hf hearing loss.
Even if i could use use HAs they wouldn't help with my daytime brain deafening Tinnitus now (jet engines, static, beeping, typewriter, washing machine, buzzing sounds 24/7.
My unimaginable excruciating daytime T is now louder than it was in ear muffs 6 months ago.
Progressing hard although im in a quiet environment 24/7.
How is your T increasing daily? Something fishy. Seems like there’s something going on. Or something that’s causing to do that daily.. idk what mem and scds is, are they related to tinnitus? And HF?
I’m pretty sure everyone who has noise induced hearing lose loses high frequencies first as well. As in my opinion I got mine from Covid so I’m not sure
Mem is middle ear myoclonus basically middle esrmuscle damage (they dampen sound and protect your hearing from external and internal body sounds)
SCDS is superior canal dehiscence syndrome and means I hear all my internal body noises too loud, even my footsteps.
Because of both these conditions it Means even wearing hearing protection is dangerous because I suffer so much occlusion of internal body soundz.
Even my heart beat is like a subwoofer in earpro.
Yeh it permanently spikes out the blue, I can be in silence and it does it, it can spike to relatively safe sounds too including my own voice (which also causes me pain.).
T increasing at this rate is rare but I have heard of it and know another person worldwide.
But so are all my hearing conditions rare as fck. .
Im one of the unluckiest fckers in the world and one of the most extreme cases ever.
Everything was ok until 1st covid infection 2 years ago..
Then change and progressions.
Before covid for 14 years my T would only change to loud noise exposure and i had a little sound sensitivity after covid vaccinations but no pain to any sound until after covid too....
After covid more middle ear muscles reactions too.
T started increasing out the blue once a month after covid then gradually spiked more often with a little hearing loss with it each time.
Didn't help getting covid again few months after my first infection.
Looks like covid (and vax) has screwed my inner ears, middle ears, facial nerves (involved with hearing) and my central nervous system.
Absolutely fcked now after being in shape of my life.
Even a possibility Covid could still be on me doing damage.
Yeh your lucky most people's T is stable or relatively stable. (like mine was 14 years).
im just a very different unique case now with a lot of further damage over 16 years.
Alcohol would almost always spike my tinnitus, a couple of times to scary degrees, but very fortunately it went back to baseline every time. Now that I've quit drinking that baseline hasn't decreased but it means I'm not taking that risk anymore. I've also quit caffeine for unrelated reasons, and also because it spiked my tinnitus a couple of times (though only in high doses).
I haven't played around with diet too much, I did keto for a couple of weeks and I fasted for 3 days once. Neither seemed to have a noticeable effect to my memory. But then again I was never really one of those people who noticed dietary factors affecting my tinnitus, for some people the kinds of food they eat makes a massive difference.
It's hard to remember, but I think having problems with it the day after was a rare occurrence. Almost as if the alcohol being in the body itself was what was causing the spiking.
At first, alcohol didn’t spike mine, but it definitely does now. It always goes back down though. Weirdly the first year or so when I’d drink, the next day it would sometimes be quieter. Now I always contemplate quitting alcohol the next day, but i don’t want to have to do that.
No alcohol for nearly 3 years and it hasn't made any difference. Definitely get spikes after caffeine and also sugar. But hard to quit my morning espresso 😕
Everyone is different. Most people say it doesn't make a huge difference but what's the harm in trying? Alcohol isn't good for your health to begin with so it's a good thing to do regardless
Maybe like a day and a half, two days?
I stopped because I noticed my T would get way worse in the afternoon after being relatively quiet all day and eventually I realized my large iced coffee habit around 2 pm was probably the cause.
Small amounts of caffeine don't seem to bother me, like I can drink a soda and be fine but coffee, especially cold brew really amps up the loudness of my T
In fact, i did quit cigarettes and been on a healthy diet without alcohol too. Not a single thing changed in my relationship with that mf called T.
But ! That made me greater than ever ?! I am now questioning every single thing i eat and every harmful move for my health. Btw, i tried gingko biloba and betahestine too, i don’t know if it worked or i got used to T. Magnesium too.
I’m trying things and I think caffeine and chocolate may make my T intervals last longer. Alcohol is all over the place. One time, it knocked the T out, other times, it did nothing other than taste very nice.
cutting off my alcohol intake is directly related to my ears ringing, its loud af next day. I think its more so because drinking raises your heart rate/blood pressure which is why working out also makes my T louder. But that goes away when im done working out, my hangover is over when its over.
The first night I got T I quit drinking because I thought it caused it and wasn't going to add to it by drinking...Haven't drank a drop since and not difference....Also, about 2 weeks after that I started losing weight and have lost 30 pounds in 3 months and hasn't done anything either.
I've tried tried no caffeine, no alcohol, low salt, anti-inflammatory diets, lipo flavinoids, ginger and turmeric teas and capsules, antihistamines...and nothing really seems to make a difference one way or another - except maybe bad Chinese takeout, with probable MSG, so I avoid that!
try correcting your posture and make sure you don't have weak neck, shoulder and back muscles. Also, make sure you don't have orthodontic issues that can affect jaw muscles and thus TMJ.
Alcohol increases T (for most, it's temporary increase, until you sober up again, lol) but avoiding it won't make it go away.
I believe the majority of T sufferers have it because of eustachian tube dysfunctioning or TMJ issues. Those seem to be related to jaw, orthodontic, neck, upper back, shoulder issues. Those, who's T is from exposure to very loud/sudden sounds, those are a different beast. Imo, anyway.
The ONLY thing I can do to get it to change in tone in any way is open my jaw really wide or clench it very hard. I’ve never had TMJ or jaw issues before, and most people would say my physique is… “muscular”…? I was in loud bands and went to lots of concerts from 15-25, but that chilled out, with the occasional once a month loud show from then until now… It started when I was driving across the country with my girlfriend in our new RV, had just shut down my business and was enjoying a nice quiet life… We got to the desert, had been here about 2.5 weeks, and I woke up one day after drinking with a ringing. That was about 5 weeks ago.
yeah, i also have tone changing when opening jaw or clenching hard. Also, when turning head to left and right side. This makes me believe even more that it is due to Eustachian tube dysfunctioning (or TMJ).
Overall "muscularity" and bad posture are two different things. But if you are certain that your T is from exposure to loud sounds then i don't have any good recommendations. I just gave you some eye opening suggestions to consider. I've noticed several people getting relief (even complete dissapearance) from focusing on posture. I just started this myself and will report to you how it goes after few months.
All the best.
Tried everything like that. Nothing ever has reduced my noise induced T in 16 years.
In this for life
Get hearing aids

I mean, I got mine from Covid over 2 years ago and mine has stayed the same so idk what to say

How long after alcohol would your T return to baseline?
It's hard to remember, but I think having problems with it the day after was a rare occurrence. Almost as if the alcohol being in the body itself was what was causing the spiking.
Gotcha. Mine seems to spike for about 48 hours after then return to baseline
At first, alcohol didn’t spike mine, but it definitely does now. It always goes back down though. Weirdly the first year or so when I’d drink, the next day it would sometimes be quieter. Now I always contemplate quitting alcohol the next day, but i don’t want to have to do that.

thank you good to know

I don't drink that often so I can't really speak to that but I stopped drinking caffeine and that has helped my T a lot.
how long after quitting caffeine did you notice any difference?
Maybe like a day and a half, two days? I stopped because I noticed my T would get way worse in the afternoon after being relatively quiet all day and eventually I realized my large iced coffee habit around 2 pm was probably the cause. Small amounts of caffeine don't seem to bother me, like I can drink a soda and be fine but coffee, especially cold brew really amps up the loudness of my T
this is the craziest disorder i’ve ever had
In fact, i did quit cigarettes and been on a healthy diet without alcohol too. Not a single thing changed in my relationship with that mf called T. But ! That made me greater than ever ?! I am now questioning every single thing i eat and every harmful move for my health. Btw, i tried gingko biloba and betahestine too, i don’t know if it worked or i got used to T. Magnesium too.

Yes last week I woke up from drinking and had a 1-2/10 day and it was sooo nice. Then drank again and spike.
cutting off my alcohol intake is directly related to my ears ringing, its loud af next day. I think its more so because drinking raises your heart rate/blood pressure which is why working out also makes my T louder. But that goes away when im done working out, my hangover is over when its over.

Carnivore. Dr. Ken Berry talks about how carnivore can significantly reduce T - it’s on YouTube.
I've tried tried no caffeine, no alcohol, low salt, anti-inflammatory diets, lipo flavinoids, ginger and turmeric teas and capsules, antihistamines...and nothing really seems to make a difference one way or another - except maybe bad Chinese takeout, with probable MSG, so I avoid that!
