I have a similar experience with my secondary endolymphatic hydrops. I have to follow a low-salt, low-sugar diet, and I take prednisone when it flares up. I’m hopeful that the new drug, SPI-1005, will help if it gets approved.

We would be in the exact same place we are now. Unfortunately.

Did an acoustic trauma cause your tinnitus? I have secondary Endolymphatic Hydrops caused by an acoustic trauma.

Maybe listening to sound stimulation at the same frequency as their tinnitus reduced their tinnitus level. When they added electrical pulses, it had an even greater effect.

Hopefully, increased hearing would turn down the brain's central gain and reduce hyperacusis. My tinnitus sucks, but my hyperacusis is horrible.

Correct. Maybe a couple of hours. I didn’t really pay much attention to when the Lidocaine wore off at the time.

My tinnitus spiked with each episode of sudden hearing loss in the left ear. The hearing loss recovered and tinnitus calmed back down each time. It happened 3 times in the last year and I got 3 injections 1 week apart each time. I was also put on high dose Prednisone each time. I think the key...

I had 10 intratympanic injections of Dexamethasome in my left ear over the last year, for sudden hearing loss due to Meniere's. Each time they also gave me a couple shots of Lidocaine inside the ear canal about halfway in to numb it before the intratympanic injection. Sometimes they would give...

I got tinnitus and hypercusis 5 years ago. 4 months after my twin boys were born. I keep a pair of earmuffs handy!

Unfortunately after 20 years of research, no one knows the answer to this question. We probably won’t know anytime soon either.

The wait continues with no end in sight.

It’s disheartening knowing there is finally something that seems like it will help many of us sitting on a shelf collecting dust. I hope we don’t have to endure this same conversation for the next two or who knows how many years before we are able to get some real world feedback on this device.

I believe Dr. Shore has been working on this research for close to 20 years now.

I sure wish someone would light a fire under Dr Shore’s arse! Gotta be the slowest development for treatment in the history of mankind!
