    Lower glutamate and GABA levels in auditory cortex of tinnitus patients: a 2D-JPRESS MR spectroscopy study For me, the following takeaways: Some of the results, i.e., w.r.t. glutamate concentrations, contradict the expectations, and the detailed results don't agree perfectly with earlier...

    I haven't finished the 1.5 months worth of tablets, I stopped after about 3-4 weeks. It hasn't worked for me.

    Repeated Modified Nerve Blocks and Auditory and Non-Auditory Nerve Stimulation

    This is going OT a bit, but here goes: I've taken it a few times for other reasons before I got the current, more severe, tinnitus. I've only recently re-started it for seeing if it helps with the tinnitus I got, and have done two infusions with that treatment target. I noticed an immediate...

    Repeated Modified Nerve Blocks and Auditory and Non-Auditory Nerve Stimulation

    Have you tried Ketamine? It has helped me somewhat. This is the exact combination I have received: - 250 ml NaCl solution 0.9% - Esketamine 15 mg or 0.6 ml - Midazolam 2 mg or 2 ml - Magnesium Mg2+ 1g or 10 ml Infusion drip speed 250 ml/h, so that the whole bag takes 1 hour. Then flush with...

    Repeated Modified Nerve Blocks and Auditory and Non-Auditory Nerve Stimulation

    It's been 10 days and I have not gotten any response to my email to the Korean clinic. To the people who have contacted the clinic in South Korea, how long did you have to wait for an answer? Did you use English as correspondence language or did you write in Korean (perhaps using translation...

    Repeated Modified Nerve Blocks and Auditory and Non-Auditory Nerve Stimulation

    I talked to my doctor here today and he is happy to have a chat with the Korean doctor. I'm now waiting for a response from the correspondence address given in the original publication.

    Repeated Modified Nerve Blocks and Auditory and Non-Auditory Nerve Stimulation

    No update yet. The doctor told me that he'd likely be using needles that are usually used (sorry, I don't have more information than that) instead of the custom-developed ones. The clinic has experience with nerve blocks near the ear for example for migraine patients. I'll first be reaching...

    Repeated Modified Nerve Blocks and Auditory and Non-Auditory Nerve Stimulation

    I found a doctor who is willing to do the procedure in Switzerland, close to where I live. However, after the recent posts in this thread, I'm a lot more cautious to try it out. Also, the publication does not mention several details which could be critical, such as the concentration of the...

    Suppressive Effects of Goshajinkigan on Tinnitus

    I don't speak Japanese either. As I wrote, I used Zenmarket to order it for me, and forward the order to me. This is the direct link: https://zenmarket.jp/rakutenproduct.aspx?itemCode=drugpure:10005348

    I have a shipment for 1.5 months worth of tablets underway from Japan. I couldn't find another reliable source for getting it in Switzerland. I ordered this one via Zenmarket: https://item.rakuten.co.jp/drugpure/4987045048906-3/

    Auditory Mirror Therapy for Treatment of Tinnitus

    I'm on holidays for a couple of weeks and didn't bring the headphones because of their size -- they don't fold. The few hours I did before that did not have any effect. I'll continue testing at home.

    Auditory Mirror Therapy for Treatment of Tinnitus

    Unfortunately, the Sony WH-CH710N are not supported in the official app. I'm guessing it's a way for Sony to differentiate the cheaper from the more expensive models. I would also have liked to use the app to disable the ANC mode (since it is not working now). If you're willing to open up your...

    Suppressive Effects of Goshajinkigan on Tinnitus

    Since I'm also suffering from peripheral neuropathy and another inflammatory rheumatic disease, trying this out seems ideal for me. Do we know from the links that @InNeedOfHelp posted, or otherwise, what would be an appropriate dosage for humans? The application of a drug for bladder control...

    Auditory Mirror Therapy for Treatment of Tinnitus

    I signed up on this forum just to share my approach. Without having read the paper in detail, I will be testing the mirrored left-right audio pass-through with headphones I have modified myself, for at least 40 hours in total. Disclaimer: I will not take responsibility for any damage done to...
