    Hough Ear Institute's Hair Cell Regeneration Project

    Yeah, this seems like BS. They are just combining two readily available ingredients: NAC and HPN-07, right? Both are antioxidants, so they may have some value in prevention or an acute response. But if this were truly effective, it would already be available—unless I am missing something.

    Ultrasound-Guided Stellate Ganglion Block for the Treatment of Tinnitus

    I am not entirely sure what it is or what it does, but the study linked above suggests what blocking it might do for tinnitus sufferers. I received a referral from my doctor for the procedure, but I have not gone through with it yet. I am still not entirely sure I will, as there is a chance of...

    Do You Own a Gun?

    Apologies for necroposting, but this seemed like the correct thread. Has anyone ever looked into, or better yet, tried Aguila Colibri rounds? I have read that they can produce noise levels in the range of 85 to 90 dB when used outdoors in a bolt-action rifle. They do not have the stopping power...

    The clinic I am working with built the headset custom to place the electrodes in the correct spot. I sent them the study and a measurement of the circumference of my head.

    I'll share a detailed report in a month or so. While I was using it, I felt some mild improvement. But I wasn't tracking it very systematically so I took a couple months off and have been tracking my tinnitus so I can see if it actually improves when I start again in a couple weeks.

    New University of Michigan Tinnitus Discovery — Signal Timing

    Has anyone heard any anecdotal information from people who participated in the clinical trials? I understand the numbers from the trials, but I would be very interested in hearing from real individuals who have tried the device.

    Repeated Bilateral Transcranial Direct Current Stimulation over Auditory Cortex for Tinnitus

    I can share some initial details. I tried the device for about one month and felt like I was having more “good” days toward the end of the month. I did not detect a change in the tinnitus volume, but I felt like it bothered me less. This could, of course, be the placebo effect. I wanted to be...

    Ultrasound-Guided Stellate Ganglion Block for the Treatment of Tinnitus

    The difference appears to be the use of ultrasound to better target the stellate ganglion. I am not sure what treatment was offered in Korea. Can you provide a link? Looking back through the forums, it seems that the few people who have tried this may not have received the injection from...

    New University of Michigan Tinnitus Discovery — Signal Timing

    You only get one chance to launch a new product. I have been at five startups, and we always wished we could take more time to get things right before launching. However, investors often pushed for an early release. The long-term cost to the business of losing a couple of years of revenue is...

    Ultrasound-Guided Stellate Ganglion Block for the Treatment of Tinnitus

    The results seem impressive to me. There were 80 participants, and 100% showed improvement. The results were statistically significant compared to the control group, which received a standard Lidocaine injection. The average THI score dropped from around 63 to about 38, which means a shift...

    Rinri Therapeutics

    Why do we think this could help people with tinnitus? It appears that the treatment is expected to benefit individuals with Sudden Sensorineural Hearing Loss (SSHL). Are we expecting it to help those who have tinnitus as a result of SSHL?
