    Attending a Noisy Indoor Graduation Ceremony: Tips and Experiences?

    I have been looking into the solid plugs. How much better are they compared to the ER-25s? Solid plugs combined with construction grade earmuffs might be enough. It is going to be around 100 dB, right? That should bring the level down below 80 dB.

    Colonoscopy Prep Options for Tinnitus Sufferers

    I had no problems with Propofol. The prep was difficult only because it put strain on my body, and I did not get enough sleep. As a result, my tinnitus was worse for a while because of that, but it was no different than what happens when traveling and experiencing jet lag, for example. It was...

    Attending a Noisy Indoor Graduation Ceremony: Tips and Experiences?

    I have to attend loud events occasionally for work. I have been using Westone custom fitted earplugs with ER-25 Etymotic filters. These reduce the decibel level by 25, not by a factor of 25 like some non-Etymotic earplugs. They also offer solid filters, which I have been considering but have...

    Exploring a Possible Tinnitus-Migraine Link: Sardines as a Test Treatment?

    It looks like the original post was deleted. The poster said they had chronic migraines and found that eating a tin of sardines soaked in water was the only thing that kept them away. They also mentioned that the sardines had to be canned less than one year earlier, or else they did not work.

    Exploring a Possible Tinnitus-Migraine Link: Sardines as a Test Treatment?

    I’ve read in a few posts here that some people believe there may be a link between tinnitus and migraines. I’m not particularly interested in trying this treatment myself, but is anyone a fan of sardines and willing to give it a try and report back?

    Repeated Bilateral Transcranial Direct Current Stimulation over Auditory Cortex for Tinnitus

    Posting an update as I am starting the treatment again after six months without it. I have been tracking my tinnitus distress daily for the past three months and will continue tracking it for another three months while using the device. Here is the graph for the last three months. It is...

    New University of Michigan Tinnitus Discovery — Signal Timing

    https://github.com/orgs/auricle-inc/repositories No updates in 2025. Where did you see a recently updated repo, @Cyborg? Their only original repo (not a fork) is the TinnTester one. It does not surprise me that it has had no updates, since it is just the software tool they are using to help...

    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.

    I don't understand your post. Can you elaborate?

    Thank you! Reading their post made me feel really encouraged, which is something I needed right now.

    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.
