Interesting because after the first injection in each ear I was given the option of going without any numbing agent. So they just went in with the needle without any numbing, suction, etc. They said they are only required to use the numbing agent for the very first injection and after that it's...

Does anybody know if they do a urine drug test for round 2 of injections? They do in round 1.

Ya a little worried. I just am sick of dealing with issues of my ears. I can control my tensor tympani muscle voluntarily and was fluttering it the other night to see if this had any effect on my tinnitus(was frustrated and looking for anything to help). I read that when this muscle tenses it...

So went for my first check up. Everything was normal except when they did my tympanometry test before the hearing test the audiologist said my ear drums were more floppy and mobile then before. Wtf? Anybody have this happen? I did clear my ears more the last week but just gently and not by...

Day 4 after injections. T is still louder then baseline. The sound is more high pitched and sharper then before injections. It's more piercing. Did anybody get a change in the tone along with a volume change? When the volume went back to baseline did the new tone change? Don't like this new ring...

So guys my ears were popping like mad last night. The hearing in my left ear has a bit of a metallic sheen to it and my T is higher then pre-injection. The one thing that worries me a bit is that pre injection I had done one of those online high frequency hearing tests and could hear up to 16K...

Did a bit of yoga tonight. Lay down in corpse pose at the end and my ears started crackling, bubbling, and fizzing as the stuff in my ears seems to be loosening or dissipating somehow. Felt great. The pressure is going and my hearing is coming back stronger. T is ok. Feels maybe a little quieter...

3 months. So I'll be 5 months in at the time. Will definitely do Round 2. Round 1 was a breeze. Was expecting worse from a few horror stories here.

Did some prednisone 6 days in. Got quieter but then came back. Taken a bunch of supplements. Tinnitus has being decent lately. I take a bunch of supplements too. Not sure if they have any effect though.

Final for the double blind

I've had it for about 8 weeks at the start of injections. They didn't tell me. I didn't really ask. I heard from people online who got relief that it can take quite awhile. I don't know of anyone that had complete relief but there are people in this thread who have had relief aswell as some...

Two days after final injection. Tinnitus isn't that loud. I was expecting the post injection spike to be much worse. No pain in the ears. Both ears still feel a bit full but nothing major. Hearing seems ok but a little muffled from the fullness. So far so good.

Yes some people on here and on reddit have had positive results. Not totally gone but much much lower tinnitus then before. AM-101 is currently being tested on people with tinnitus of 3 months or less. Some of the trials have included people with up to 6 months or longer. Hard to say for sure at...

You're definitely right. I wasn't careful enough. Ya beating myself up about it has been hard. I keep reminded myself of how life could be different right now if I had just made a different decision. I know it's a waste of time to fantasize about this but damn it's hard not to.

Ya I'm not saying she was being dumb or anything....more reflecting on how being careful didn't do me much good.
