    Rinri Therapeutics

    Yeah, sure, fair points about placebo control and risk consideration. However, an ear with a cochlear implant is, by default, destroyed in the process, and that is vastly different from the ears of people with only sensorineural hearing loss, which they seem to highlight on their site...

    Rinri Therapeutics

    I still do not understand why they need to test it with cochlear implants. What is that supposed to mean for those without them?

    Introducing Tinnitus Quest

    There is some really really promising stuff in this report. I wonder, will they ever see the light for a possible treatment?

    Oh wow. I recently got an annoying morse code thing that appears on top of some sounds. Maybe the treatment is more sound exposure after all?

    Reactive Morse Code Tinnitus and Sound Sensitivity: My Experience and Questions

    I seem to be going through the same thing now. It started about a month ago as a beeping, reactive, and distorted tone, but it has now turned into more of a clicky Morse code sound. For a few days, I thought it was getting better because I did not notice it as much, but over the past few days...

    The Sound of an Airbag Deploying Is 160 dB. What Can One Do?

    Exactly. Tinnitus is a very serious condition, and I find it laughable that charlatans try to sell so-called treatments for over a thousand dollars. These often amount to nothing more than sound samples you could find on YouTube for free, combined with a few “learn to live with it” tips—advice...

    The Sound of an Airbag Deploying Is 160 dB. What Can One Do?

    Jesus Christ, what am I reading? Of course you were not improving after two years of TRT, because TRT is like trying to treat heart disease with “positive thoughts.” LOL.

    Hough Ear Institute's Hair Cell Regeneration Project

    Has anyone seen this new-ish video from Hough Ear Institute's YouTube channel? I know they have been scammy af so far, but I'd like to read any thoughts.

    SSRI-Induced Eustachian Tube Dysfunction (ETD): Advice and Experiences?

    Your story sounds very similar to what I have been experiencing over the past few years. However, I did not take any SSRI or similar medication. It all seems to have happened to me without any clear cause. Over the last four years, my symptoms have been building up — tinnitus, TTTS, random...

    Do you have it in many-hour episodes, like triggered by yawns, hiccups, stretching? Does it stop when you close the ear with your finger or wearing an earplug/earmuff?

    Assessment of Treatment Efficacy in Patients with Chronic Tinnitus: An Ambispective Cohort Study

    "The severity of tinnitus is influenced by associated symptoms such as stress, anxiety, depression, and insomnia." I stopped reading when I saw that, along with terms like TRT. It is just another useless “research study.”

    What Do I Have? Loudness Hyperacusis? TTTS (Tonic Tensor Tympani Syndrome)?

    Unfortunately, no. My TTTS is still the same—some days are worse, and some are a bit better. A few months after that message, I also developed MEM, which involves hours-long episodes of spontaneous spasms, flutters, or vibrations, usually triggered by yawning, burping, and similar actions. I...

    Reactive Tinnitus and Sound Distortions: How to Move Forward?

    @Kraazy, that’s really good that you are done with the distortions, man. I remember reading your story on Reddit, if I’m not mistaken. Unfortunately, I’m dealing with something similar. Over the past three weeks or so, one distortion has appeared in high-frequency sounds without any specific...
