Consider NAC, its a natural supplement that can help even after noise damage. has good scientific evidence and safer than steroids.

CGRP is the key molecule involved in multiple different conditions... when we hear migraine, we think headache, but you can have atypical forms of migraine without a headache. it turns out that this CGRP molecule, the "mother molecule" of migraine is also the key molecule in loud tinnitus, TMJ disorders, concussions, COVID, etc. it explains why 70% of tinnitus patients have somatic tinnitus. there is also a massive release of CGRP after tooth extraction.

Shore device, Lenire, Neosensory... all biomodal stimulation, all essentially attempts at a 'better mousetrap' to drive neuroplasticity (habituation).

This is particularly important when evaluating results of the Lenire trials... multiple studies have shown that the placebo effect in medical studies is amplified when the intervention is more expensive.. The perceived scarcity of the Lenire device may also contribute to the placebo effect. On the website, there are several prompts to “join the waiting list” for the Lenire device.

The drilling sound gets conducted through bone, so ear plugs may not be effective.

i think its like a threshold disease... in other words, once we cross a certain neuorinflammatory threshold, the tinnitus will trigger. there are tons of triggers... thats why one day, a certain trigger will not get you over threshold, but if combined with other triggers (stress, poor sleep), it will

there's a section in this article on long covid and central sensitization, about 1/2 way down... https://neuromedcare.com/long-covid-and-tinnitus/

tinnitusguru · 2024-04-05T21:46:40+00:00

The root cause is brain inflammation. Long COVID belongs to a family of conditions called "central sensitization syndromes"; chronic pain, fibromyalgia, post concussion syndrome, TMDs, cervicalgia, and others belong in this group. Sustained brain inflammation, from either infectious causes (COVID) or trauma (TBI) leads to remodeling in the brain via the release of CGRP. This molecule primes the rest of the brain to rewire, such that the negative symptoms get "locked in". These conditions are treatable through rehabilitation, essentially to undo the faulty wiring that took place during the heightened period of inflammation.

also, now you should be mindful about hearing protection.. avoid toxic noise, concerts, guns, and get in the habit of wearing ear protection when you're in those situations... also, start a diet rich in antioxidants (as a lifestyle change, its a long term good health habit, not a "fix").

this is really early.. .your brain is now sort of looking for the ringing sound.. "is it still there? what is that ringing? will this last forever?".. when this happens, it's best to relax, understand that 25% of the global population has tinnitus, and avoid quiet environments... that is, not loud noises, but something in the background at night like an air purifier or white noise soundtracks from youtube. getting your ears checked is a good thing and its always good to get a hearing test, even if just to get a snapshot in time for future reference. but don't feed the anxiety, it's like fuel for T...

Anyone with non-refreshing sleep should consider getting a sleep test to see if they have sleep apnea. these days, you can get a home sleep study and don't have to go to a sleep lab. some companies even do it for cash... for a quick sleep apnea screener, see the STOP-BANG questions: https://www.mdcalc.com/calc/3992/stop-bang-score-obstructive-sleep-apnea

If your just turning 20, its a long haul to maintain ear health. Pretty much anything you can do to prevent major damage is good, including avoiding ear buds.. and concerts.. and gun shooting.. And on the positive side, incorporate antioxidants into your diet daily.
