Funny how, while our empathy for others increases with tinnitus, their empathy for us actually DECREASES. They often think we’re making a fool of them when we talk about the invisible things that are happening to us.

Lol, another incompetent ENT pulling a random story out of his head, trying to look like he knows something. Research keeps discovering new cell types in the cochlea, and tinnitus and dysacusis still can’t be fully explained. But no, this guy’s apparently a genius who already has it all figured...

Probably because the actual drug is an anti-inflammatory and is already used for some diseases. I’m guessing it’s similar to trialing Prednisone or something like that, and probably not worth the hassle.

About Betahistine and Lysine, they are low-risk options that you can try without a doctor’s advice, honestly. I do see the drop at low frequencies, which is suspicious. I don’t think I can help much though, since audiograms can be inconsistent and don’t show the bigger picture. It does sound...

All good points, but the big organizations and government departments already believe tinnitus is not a pressing issue, and this has been the case for years.

Such a great day, I've had 5 SBUTT's in the same ear so far today. I don't know if I should worry that something bad is happening.

That sounds a bit like MEM spasms of the stapedius muscle. I have not experienced that much myself, but people who have describe high-pitched sparks or a rattlesnake-like sound when the stapedius spasms or flutters. I have the type of MEM that causes a low, muted thumping, probably from the...

This is very unfortunate for you, and I truly sympathize, being a musician myself. I fear every day about this condition. I get periodic episodes of pressure, tinnitus, and changes in hearing, which may or may not be linked to hydrops or migraine. Thankfully, they are temporary, but always...

Well, I’m in no position to assess all that information thoroughly, but I still think it sounds better than the sketchy Lenire trial that had no placebo group. I like to think it is better than nothing, even if it has flaws, because if there is something, maybe someone will build upon it...

I’ve slowly lost interest over the course of all this, but do we actually have any information that things went wrong? I also feel like there might be something fishy about this story, but maybe I missed something.

Let's hope something actually moves forward, and she won't recycle old stuff.

I don’t think I can help much, but I’d like to ask because it sounds similar to some episodes I’ve been experiencing. About the metallic ringing, do external sounds trigger it inside your ear, like with reactive tinnitus? For example, when you hear running water, other people’s voices, music...
