    Betaserc (Betahistine)

    I used betaserc twice, first a few days after the onset, then 5 week in, when I had a permanent spike (perhaps due to extreme stress/high blood pressure). I don't think it had an effect on my tinnitus either way. Maybe it had some repairing effect on the inner ear, but who knows. I wouldn't...

    Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy

    Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy

    Codaz, thanks for the note. In my case however, there is no hearing loss, only tinnitus.

    Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy

    Thanks for the advice. Will look into it. My ENT has prescribed Betaserc to me, which I am taking religiously. But I'm not very sure how that is effecting things.

    Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy

    Dear all, I am very happy to find this forum. I started suffering from tinnitus 13 days ago due to acoustic trauma. I understand that HBOT might be an option at this stage. I live in Europe, but am visiting Chicago area for business until the end of February. I started looking for options on...
