I have the same type of tinnitus. Chronic ringing but also a pulsating high-pitched tinnitus. It also is in sync with my heartbeat when I run etc, and if I yawn, I get a louder separate tinnitus sound. Mine was caused by gunshots but worsened by Bruxism. This is somatosensory tinnitus but I...

I do. Barring a major discovery in molecular therapeutics (which isn’t completely impossible), I think we are at least two decades out from any sort of hearing regeneration therapeutics being available to the general public. Maybe longer for gene therapy. Gene therapy will probably also be...

Gene therapy though. Still many decades away. Molecular therapy is closer, just need to find the right molecule for the MYC pathway.

A little update. I still have the distortion and it fluctuates from day to day. I have not tried benzos to see if they help with minimizing it. Flexing my masseter muscle also causes a high frequency chirp in my right ear. I suspect somatic tinnitus in addition to the dysacusis. I really wish...

Mine is worse after I am exposed to loud sound. I think it might be related to endocochlear hydrops or cochlear nerve inflammation in response to sound. It seems to be better when the tinnitus isn't as bad. I don't foresee Dr. Shore's device helping with the seashell but it should help with the...

Red wine, sour beers, Erdinger weissbier... water... basically whatever whenever but I try to limit alcohol to keep testosterone production up!

You can still shoot, but I would recommend investing in a suppressor system and not shooting without doubling up. Maybe it is best to reduce your shooting and look at other quieter hobbies to give your ears a chance to heal over the next year or two. Eat well, exercise and make sure you aren't...

I have two or three tinnitus tones. One can be manipulated with jaw movements and the other two are static. One is a tone, the other is a seashell like sound. @generalfuzz's ACRN helps with all of the tones except for the seashell sound. Do you think Dr. Shore's device could help me?

I have subjective tinnitus caused by an acoustic trauma (17 years ago) and it has worsened in the last years because of new noise exposures, TMJ and Bruxism. I now have worsened chronic ringing and “hissing” that is in sync with my pulse and can be silenced with mandible protrusions and flexion...

Guys, everyone really needs to leave Dr. Shore alone and let her work in peace. Some members of this community have an awful habit of pestering (some would call harassing) companies and scientists about treatments, and turning on them when there is nothing there for the individual emailing; it...

Otonomy is liquidating all assets and paying stockholders any remaining revenue. Keep or dump stock?

Bro, it might work for those with skeletomuscular origins of tinnitus or cervical instability. Noise induced tinnitus might be different. I’m sorry it didn’t work for you. Meditate, focus on good healthy living and distracting yourself by staying busy. Try acupuncture, massage therapy, wait for...
