A lot of what is written here resonates with my own tinnitus experience. The more I read about it, think about “solving it,” or look for supplements that might soothe the volume even just a little, the more tinnitus seems to become abrasive, both in volume and tone. One could argue the...

Hoping for the best for you. It’s unbelievable how fragile ears can be or become. I hope you won’t stay angry at yourself. You did your best, and given how deceptive a full recovery can feel, it’s completely natural and human to be tempted by activities that, for most people—especially with...

No disrespect, but I've seen you comment negatively or suspiciously on quite a few success stories, and I'm not sure I understand the purpose of that. I've been going through a second tinnitus onset for a few months now. Having had success after my first onset 15 years ago, I can confirm from...

Thank you so much for that! It is thanks to people like you that we will eventually find better treatment options, and maybe even a cure, in the not-so-distant future. I am confident it is possible, provided we continue moving in the same direction and bring people together to take action.

Published 2 days ago: Retrospective chart review demonstrating effectiveness of bimodal neuromodulation for tinnitus treatment in a clinical setting This is basically about Lenire. The conclusion from the article was: “These findings show that the Lenire device can be used to safely and...

April Wrap-Up This month brought the most significant improvements so far in terms of the number of good days, overall stability, mood, and productivity. I recorded a 2025 best of four good days in a row. I define these as days when the tinnitus was mostly in the background and did not disturb...

Wow, we reached it?! 😲 It seems like someone donated more than $3,000 to eventually bring the total to $10,000. That is absolutely incredible. A million thanks to that person, and of course to everyone else who contributed. Also, huge thanks to Jocelyn and everyone who helped set up this...

One reason it would be great to reach the $10,000 is also because of the symbolism. Big victories start with small wins. And who knows, it might even bring some bonus publicity in the local newspaper or elsewhere if Jocelyn reaches his goal. It will be difficult, but not impossible. I’ve...

The theory and observations around efferent feedback from the brain, as mentioned in the video above and also discussed here, really feel like a promising path to explore further. On a conceptual level, it just seems to make so much sense, as @HighleyTall has highlighted. I also hope this is...

Really sorry you’ve had this setback. Phone speakers can definitely produce terrible sounds. For what it’s worth, spikes can be troublesome for a while, but in many cases they tend to settle down. I have no expertise, but I would imagine your system is still very fragile from the initial...

March Wrap-Up The first half of March was very unstable. There were some better days in terms of intrusiveness, but also some especially intense spike days. Things became more stable in the second half of the month. During that period, I experienced significantly longer stretches of time...

If Lenire was able to reach the market, it would be an absolute shame if the “Susan Shore device” did not. I don’t expect it to be a miracle cure, but I do believe it will be reasonably more effective than Lenire for a significant number of people—almost certainly. Any progress in reducing...

That is also a huge motivator for me, especially on days when spikes are bad. Given that we are already seeing small breakthroughs in research and planting the seeds for more through catalyst initiatives like Tinnitus Quest, I truly believe significant advances could be made in the next five to...

This is incredible. The ability to “collect images of the cochlea in awake animals for the first time” is a major breakthrough. If this can be applied to humans, it could open up a world of possibilities for tinnitus and hyperacusis research. Once we can directly observe what is happening in...

That didn’t cross my mind, even though I’m also a French speaker. But I completely agree—this would be great! 💪 As mentioned above, I’d be happy to help with a possible French translation.
