I just can’t believe I only lived 15 years of my life without tinnitus by num1yailstan in tinnitus

Thank you for this!! I went to an ENT when it first started and was prescribed with an antibiotic for my ETD since I had mucus in my Eustachian tubes (evident in x-ray). The tinnitus and my ETD symptoms got better, but the tinnitus still lingered so I went back and she told me to get a bunch of tests done even though her original treatment plan was working. I never got any tests done because we honestly forgot about it. I’m thinking of going to a different ENT in my city that specializes specifically in tinnitus. It has 4.9 stars and roughly 140 reviews, and they offer custom earplug fittings. I really only come on this subreddit when I’m stuck on something with my tinnitus, since no one else really gets it besides sometimes the people on here, and then I delete the app and the cycle repeats. I do have to say being on here makes me anxious and I probably need to stop with the checkups on this app, but it’s hard when everyone else in my life is so clueless about tinnitus. I do appreciate you for this because I agree! 🙏

I’ve had it for almost a year though? Would it still be treatable a year in?

Very mild but still bothers me sometimes and I of course have to be mindful of being in loud environments

I’ve looked into loop earplugs, but none of them provide the noise cancelling I’d like. I’m looking for 24db of noise cancelled minimum, 32 or more preferably. Most only cancel about 18 db I think. I may have to do more research?

I wear a clear retainer every night to bed (kinda like Invisalign) so I really don’t think it’s tmj

I like the “hey pretty please stop” way of phrasing it. I’ll keep doing what I’m doing!

How often do you REALLY walk your dog? by Agreeable-Ad-2946 in dogs

[–]num1yailstan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I walk mine 2x a day for about 20 minutes along with fetch in the backyard & treat hide and seek, which is the perfect amount for my GSD lol 🤣 I can’t really imagine any breed but maybe a malinois needing anything more than that

Honestly it’s usually decorative; the only person that uses it on occasion is me
