I have good news regarding my tinnitus. Since reading about ACRN (Acoustic Coordinated Reset Neuromodulation) and using it for about a week, I’ve noticed a significant reduction in my tinnitus volume. Now I can wear ANC headphones and still hear mostly silence. It lowered it from 6 out of 10 to...

Check out the post about Neu-002 here in the forum. The researchers there called this synchronous activity a “Parasitic Oscillation Loop.” I also read your reply. The first link about tinnitus and sleep is very interesting. I recently developed chronic tinnitus after undergoing major, painful...

Thank you very much for bringing this incredible study to my attention. After reading the published paper in Nature and several success stories with ACRN, I am hoping to try it soon. In the meantime, I am wondering why this treatment is not mentioned more frequently as an option for tinnitus...

I have looked through Chinese forums for tinnitus sufferers, and I can say with confidence that no TCM treatment has been proven to treat tinnitus. Period. The TCM side of medicine in China is a very frustrating situation. Some parts of it do work, but instead of developing those parts through...

Could you elaborate on why animal models translate poorly to humans? I remember reading about Harvard Medical School’s research into regrowing hair cells in mice through gene therapy. The reason it worked in mice but will not work in humans for now is that the technique is very invasive, if not...

The dip at 3 kHz that I believe you are referring to is actually from my otoacoustic emission result. It is obtained by playing sound into my ear and listening for a kind of echo. It has nothing to do with whether I tell them I hear the sound or not. My actual pure tone threshold at 3 kHz is...

My test result is attached in my opening post. I have perfectly normal hearing in both ears. Recently I have started to think that mine is neurological. The medication they put me on immediately after the surgery gave me severe hyperacusis for one night, and it disappeared the next day. The...

@Sonia554, do you mind sharing what you’ve been doing during this time period? Are you taking any medication or supplements, or are you just letting it habituate? I’ve had severe tinnitus for a month now. It died down by about ten percent two weeks ago, and it has stayed at that baseline since...

Interesting. What I read from a Google search was that medication-induced tinnitus is usually permanent because it reduces blood flow to the inner ear and permanently kills the hair cells there. I have always had a little bit of hiss in my head, but it was only there if I wore noise-cancelling...

Hello everyone. I am a 24-year-old male who recently developed, or began to notice a worsening of, non-somatic tinnitus in mid-October after months of taking many ototoxic painkillers such as Ibuprofen, Tylenol, Gabapentin, and Oxycodone due to a chest surgery. Within two weeks of noticing the...
