Hey all. Does anyone know the differences between the GABA in XEN1101 and non-GABA in BHV-7000? Does GABA have something to do with tinnitus reduction? Or is it more the Potassium channels? Between XEN1101 and BHV-7000, which would be your best bet?

Hey Kristin! I read about your Tinnitus aggravation after some tests. How have you been lately?

Hi @Carolyn C, unfortunately our hearing is very sensitive as we age. You should visit a very well trained Otologist or ENT. Apart from steroids, which have to be prescribed by a doctor due to weight/height/ background, NAC, Magnesium, and Vitamins ACE can be beneficial as they can help protect...

Hey @BTaylor12. Hubert Lim is Chief Scientist Officer of Neuromod (Lenire) and also Professor of Biomedical Engineering and Otolaryngology at University of Minnesota. So there is a link between both parties.

Did you take any ototoxic medication for your sinus infection? It's important that you check if there is inner ear damage. Additionally, strong sinus infections (as well as otitis media) can change Eustachian tube function (due to inflammation), and can take up to 6 months to work properly...

Congrats @Scrivs007. The forum needs these stories. All the best!

Hi @Jupiterman, tinnitus is a very complex ailment. It is originated in the auditory nerve, but then the brain makes things more complex due to the auditory cortex. It's most important that you protect your ears if the situation calls for it. If you are not exposed to loud noises, and you...

Wearing earplugs 24/7 is not a good idea. I think that you would hear your tinnitus louder, which would hinder your auditory system and brain to habituate and fade the tinnitus volume as much as possible. Earplugs are good for protecting from acute loud noises (concerts, discos, etc), but not...

Hey @DutchMelvin, I am sorry but I am sure you will be fine! I am leaving you some advice (I am talking also from a personal experience): Eustachian tubes take up to 6 months to work properly after strong sinusitis or otitis media (but right now you have two main goals, clear the fluid and...

Does anyone have an update on Dr. Djalilian's work?

Hi! You can do that, and you should do it! Go for a walk in the forest. Paint. Listen to music at a good level. Go to a quiet restaurant. Don't stop doing that. Find nice friends that understand you. Life is about constantly adapting. You will be fine, for sure! All the best.

I doubt it! Quinine causes reversible ototoxicity. But tonic water usually has no more than 80 mg of quinine per liter. So for example 200 ml may have 16.6 mg of quinine. I really doubt that this quantity can affect your ears, it would be very unlikely. You will be fine! You can drink lemon...

Hey @Isaac Ramsay. I am sorry to hear that. Tinnitus is an intriguing symptom, with many causes. It is very important to understand your medical history and the days prior to your tinnitus onset, and also your symptoms. My recommendation would be that you visit a very well trained Otologist or...

Hey @duesseldorf. I am sure you will be fine. It is important to pay attention to what happened when the tinnitus appeared in your case. You are talking about your neck and Aspirin. Aspirin can be ototoxic and cause tinnitus, but in most cases it is reversible. So based on these two events, I...
