Dr. Shore for 2024!

I think Taurine helps me very slightly have more good days and less bad days. I've had no adverse effects with 5g of this stuff almost every day: BulkSupplements: Taurine Powder

Whatever it is—a brain problem, a nerve problem, a cell problem—I have a feeling that when we figure out how to cure it, the knowledge we gain will be huge for many people, not just those of us cursed with tinnitus. The cure is going to be tremendous, much like the antibiotic revolution that we...

There's no pre-alignment. The FDA will delay for any reason they can find. They can and will demand more information. The more information given to them, the more they want. They will thoroughly exhaust everything within their sight before approving anything. This is why people have to be...

Even though I don't have Meniere's, I'm bumping this so SPI-1005 will get noticed by those of us who do have Meniere's disease involving tinnitus. SPI-1005 looks to be the next drug on the horizon for us to try. I still have a tiny bit of hope left even after the recent, highly disappointing...

Like I said, I may be wrong, and after reviewing it again, it looks like I was wrong. I got the 10 seconds from here, under the Intervention section: Reversing Synchronized Brain Circuits Using Targeted Auditory-Somatosensory Stimulation to Treat Phantom Percepts It says: "Open-circuit and...

I may be wrong, but gathering from the device's study, you are not being barraged with a continuous, loud audio tone. The audio stimulation signal only lasts for 10 milliseconds, followed by 10 seconds of silence. 10 milliseconds of audio is barely anything relative to 10 seconds. I mean it's...

I'm a little surprised how simple the audio/electrical stimulation waveforms look. This is not a difficult thing to do from an engineering perspective. What does look difficult is the calibration. It looks to me calibration includes factoring in the participant's audiogram, and the...

Thank you, Hazel! So glad you stood up to these gaslighters for us. The Jastreboff model is a crock, and CBT for tinnitus is another one that needs to die.

Maybe the trial wasn't long enough? A long time ago I severed the tip of my finger. I was told it would take about 2 years for sensation to come back after it was reattached. Guess what happened - some feeling came back after 2 years. It still feels a little odd, but it came back. I wonder if it...

It's OK to cry.

My understanding is the highest frequencies are treated first due to the nature of the way the drug travels through the cochlea.

Tinnitus sucks

Yeah, I've got something very similar to Rick's. Mine is 1-3 days of at least 100 dB at 12.3 kHz, then 1 or 2 days of what sounds like a vacuum cleaner in the next room. Apparently some people get used to it. Not me.

I didn't handle it well at first either. But after a while I sort of forgot about it. Then it came back with a vengeance and somehow I went through the same cycle of not handling it well. I hope for your sake it sorts itself out and we never see you again, but we'll all be here to support you if...
