I tried semaglutide for weight loss, not diabetes, and I’m sharing my experience for the benefit of others, as I haven’t seen many posts on this topic. (Semaglutide is the generic form of drugs like Wegovy, Ozempic, and Rybelsus.) I have constant tinnitus caused by acoustic trauma. Just hours...

At least Auricle told @Markku that it's not happening any time soon [he can correct me if I'm wrong.] I assume there will be nothing in 2025 or 2026, either FDA approval or a device rollout. That does not mean the project is a failure because they still had good results from their last study...

I think so. Based on this year's web conference she gave, Dr. Shore explained the results of a study with 99 people who have tinnitus. The study found that, as a whole, there was a measurable and lasting reduction in perceived tinnitus. She stated that they had favorable results. The kind of...

Hi Deb, Thank you for recommending this idea! My dentist, who I was planning on seeing, balked at my request for Prednisone. So, I plan to find a dentist who can perhaps use a laser.

Bump...

Quick question: Is there no way to know if Dr. Shore's device is being looked at by the FDA as we speak? I feel like I've seen conflicting information about what is public knowledge regarding the FDA approval process.

I have to be able to listen in. My only option would be with headphones, unfortunately. Using hearing protection would be a problem.

I can see that you got tinnitus from noise exposure. The audiogram will just expose you to more noise in your ears. Some members, if I recall right, have had tinnitus worsened by audiograms. I would be careful about going through with this. A lot of people can hear well, per the standard...

I had my teeth cleaned recently, took NAC, and brought earmuffs, although I had to take them off since I couldn't turn my head in the chair. I made sure they didn't use ultrasonic equipment. I apparently have a couple of small cavities, which the dentist states should be addressed. Due to the...

I have been out of work longer than I would like due to layoffs. After applying to many jobs, for some reason, it seems that May is when companies are hiring. I have two options and have to make a quick decision. One is an industry that has to do with the import/export of goods. The other is...

Has anyone worn earmuffs to the dentist? I have heard that we need to avoid 'ultrasonic descaling' at all costs. I confirmed with my dentist that they are willing to do manual descaling. I want to protect myself from all the other noises like the suction hose etc. I also have read on Tinnitus...

The cases of vaccine-induced tinnitus are very saddening and frankly concerning. If you're willing to say, what was your previous cause of tinnitus?

@DimLeb, right I know that those who get tinnitus as children are often times not bothered by it, just because that's all they know.

Ok, thanks for sharing that, it's a very interesting result. Well, it helps confirm my thought that it may only effect some people, all else being equal. So, I guess I got 'lucky.' I really hope I can get there one day.

I was interested about any anecdotes for how common is it for someone 60-80 or older to have tinnitus? Do most people get it eventually (no matter what), or are there lucky people who are able to die of old age and never have to deal with this, or at least if they have tinnitus at some point...
