    Abraham Shulman Tinnitus Protocol (Clonazepam Plus Gabapentin)

    Thanks for the update. Do you believe that any of the other things you have done, such as practicing mindfulness or continuing with daily life, have contributed to not being consciously aware of it?

    Desperate for Help with Severe Reactive Tinnitus and Life Impact

    Hi, your symptom set sounds like a mirror image of mine. I am over two years into this worsening, with resulting reactive tinnitus—which I did not even know was a thing until my standard tonal tinnitus turned reactive after an MRI scan. First of all, I am sorry this is happening. I can...

    Hi, I don’t mind you asking I’m in my early 40s, clonazepam isn’t an ideal drug to be on at all but if it allows you to function and continue to work my philosophy is then it’s the only option in my case. Tough at your age but understand what it’s like to struggle so much.

    I was initially only taking it twice a week and if you can stick to that routine I think it’s definitely the best way to take it. I take .5mg a day and no longer really helps.

    People with Dysacusis, Distortions or Loudness Hyperacusis — Describe Your Symptoms!

    It took about a year before it stopped working. However, I was only taking it a couple of times a week for a long time. It was only after a few months of taking 0.5 mg every day that it stopped working. Regarding Dr. De Ridder, I respect him—he’s well-informed, articulate, and knowledgeable...

    People with Dysacusis, Distortions or Loudness Hyperacusis — Describe Your Symptoms!

    This has been my exact experience with Clonazepam and distortions/reactive tinnitus as well.

    Hi Alex, First of all, do not blame yourself. We have all felt the same way and regretted our decisions. When I think back to the countless gigs standing by speakers, blasting my car stereo and iPod day after day, I cringe. However, are these things not normal? Millions of people do the same...

    Mom Diagnosed with Hyperacusis and Sensorineural Hearing Loss After Having Her Ears Cleaned at Specsavers

    I’m so sorry to hear this. Your mum sounds like she’s going through a really rough time, and it must be so hard for you to see. Did she have micro-suction at Specsavers? Many people here have reported ending up with tinnitus and/or hyperacusis after that procedure. Is she on any medication? Has...
