    Mid-Infrared Photons Alleviate Tinnitus by Activating the KCNQ2 Channel in the Auditory Cortex

    Oh well… that settles it. I guess I will not try this at home. 😁 The last time I did a craniotomy, it was kind of messy, and I decided not to do it again.

    Mid-Infrared Photons Alleviate Tinnitus by Activating the KCNQ2 Channel in the Auditory Cortex

    What device is used for this? I was given a red light infrared wand that a friend used to help with pain. Is this the same thing?

    Mid-Infrared Photons Alleviate Tinnitus by Activating the KCNQ2 Channel in the Auditory Cortex

    Any new developments on this? What kind of device is available to deliver these infrared photons? Is that just another term for low-level laser therapy?

    Near Infrared Led Light Therapy

    @Lost life, I just came across this old post and hope this reaches you. Did you try it? If so, what were the results? My cousin gave me her portable red light infrared device, and I am curious about giving it a try.

    Zinc Pills Stopped My Tinnitus :)

    Okay, update. Yes, it helped for several days—then it stopped helping. I tried the “test” mentioned several posts earlier in this thread, where you put one drop on your tongue. If it tastes like water, you are deficient, and if it tastes metallic, you are not. On day six, it tasted metallic, so...

    Holding Your Breath (Hear Me Out)

    Okay, fast forward from my earlier comment about my tinnitus volume decreasing with the breath-holding technique. It did lower the volume, but only for a couple of minutes before returning to baseline. So much for that. Never mind. :(

    Holding Your Breath (Hear Me Out)

    I just read a comment from someone in response to an entirely different topic, and I decided to try it. To my surprise, the loud volume of my screaming tinnitus went down significantly. I have no idea why or what exactly happened, but I will definitely be trying this again. Here’s the comment I...

    Do You Have a Problem with Misophonia, and If So, Which Sounds?

    At times when I’m trying to fall asleep, the sound of my pillowcase fibers rubbing is so intense that I have to put an earplug in the ear that is against the pillow, just so I can sleep! 🤬

    I May Be Counting My Chickens — Hopeful Progress in My Tinnitus Journey

    You might try the amino acids Taurine and L-Theanine, which were recommended to me by my doctor. They have proven helpful in lowering the volume of my tinnitus, though not eliminating it completely. Still, they have been very beneficial.

    Zinc Pills Stopped My Tinnitus :)

    I just found this old thread recently and was intrigued. I got some Ionic Zinc High Potency Drops and tried 3 milliliters for 3 consecutive mornings, using the basic daily prescribed dosage just to be safe. All 3 days, my tinnitus has gone from about 8 out of 10 down to about 4 out of 10 for...

    What is the stellate ganglion? What does it mean to block it, and what does blocking it do? Thank you for any information! 🙂

    Is Erythromycin as an Eye Ointment Ototoxic?

    I just had a cyst removed from my eyelid, and they applied Erythromycin ointment to the area. Three hours later, my tinnitus has spiked severely. I wiped the ointment away. Is there any chance that my spike will go back down, or could this be permanent? Oh my God.

    Have You Ever Taken Ginkgo Biloba for 6 Weeks?

    Thank you! I will cautiously try Ginkgo biloba. I am also going to talk with my GP next week about going back on the Shulman Protocol, which includes Gabapentin and a very low dosage of Clonazepam. I used to take 0.5 mg three times a day, and it kept my tinnitus at a tolerable level all the...

    Have You Ever Taken Ginkgo Biloba for 6 Weeks?

    @Michael Leigh, I have read that for people who do not get any relief from Ginkgo Biloba, it is because they take too low a dosage. What dose and brand do you take? I really want to try this, but I do not know how to start. What is the tincture form, and how do you ingest it? Thanks!
