While there's always the possibility a supplement may help, it's unlikely. And you should always be careful taking supplements to begin with. While they may be helping ABC, they can be harming XYZ at the same time. They can certainly damage liver and kidney function too. Take antioxidant...

It's live. Their so-called "study" on their website is only accessible to people who have already paid for the product. 800 EUR for 10 USD worth of metal and rubber? As other have mentioned, if acupressure could cure tinnitus, everyone would be doing it and this forum wouldn't even need to...

Actually we do. Neuromod's Lenire may not work for everyone but it does work for most - to varying degrees - and even if it only lowers the tinnitus, that's substantial and real. Dr. Shore's device will be here in a year or two most likely. Meds like FX-322 and some other stuff are in the...

Yeah, if anyone ever tries to tell you tinnitus isn't a real problem you can point them to this. I wonder if he was doing any treatment - meds - or looked into potential treatments like Neuromod's Lenire. It'd be a damn shame if he didn't. And the most damnable part is that yeah, when you have...

Huh, there's a lot of specifics to this trial. Inclusion Criteria: Must report constant, subjective, preferably unilateral tinnitus without any active external or middle ear pathology. No greater than a mild hearing loss up to 6 kHz, and no greater than a moderate hearing loss at the tinnitus...

MRI horror stories? You mean actually getting a date for one or the actual scan itself? It's definitely claustrophobic. I'm a pretty big guy so when they first shot me inside they did it really fast and my shoulders were a bit pushed in and it freaked me out. After I knew what I was in for, I...

Just popped into to say I received the same email today myself. Even though I'm in Toronto, I'd relocate to Windsor or even Ann Arbor itself for a month or so to take part in this. Anyone know how long and what kind of commitment the participation for the trial is?

Seeing as the half-life of most benzos is quite short, it wouldn't be a problem so long as you have a week to get them out of your system. Point in fact, you should be doing your utmost to use them as little as possible. Beyond the addictive properties, the efficacy of them diminishes the more...

You can make it. For most tinnitus is short lived in the range of several months. Lots of people here have been suffering for years and even decades. You'll acclimate as your brain calms down. Likely, like most people, you'll have good and bad days. And you just have to hope that it resolves...

The upside of Tinnitus Talk is there are a lot of smart people here who do the actual research to help understand these accursed conditions and their ultimate resolution - one day. Sadly, most everyone who shows up here is ignorant, scared, confused, angry, depressed, anxious, etc. Like too many...

The fact that the company was started because the Chairman himself is a sufferer is the sort of thing that always gives me hope. For people like that it's not just about a buck, it's really about help suffering people. One more possible aid/cure coming down the pipe. Daddy like. :)

Loss of neuroplasticity and tinnitus are inextricably linked. The creation of new neuroplastiticy helps - helps a lot of neurological issues, not just tinnitus, so look at it as insurance against the common neurological problems that come with aging. It also takes time to create. It doesn't...

I hate Apple - and it's not like I like Google much more - but if an Android version of the app ain't gonna happen - and it seems doubtful it will by now - how old an Apple phone could it run on? So anyone interested in trying it could at least buy the oldest, cheapest Apple phone possible to...

I picked Dr. Shore's work because I believe it holds the most promise as a single effective solution for tinnitus. However I still hold, and will always maintain, that the cure for tinnitus for most will probably be multifaceted treatments involving chemicals and electrical equipment. I sure...

Yep, at the very least he should be able to rule out a bunch of stuff. But he was pretty amazing IMO of finding the problem after a couple of questions and looking at a CT scan. Feel free to ask away.
