LostinTX

Sentinel can I ask you about your experience with OTO313, did you have severe t? Bilateral? Any hearing loss? And no side effects?

@A.H.M. refer to the OTO-313 thread from page 30 onward. My posts there from April 2021 will give you the full picture.

@Hottopic29 sorry missed this question! Pain Dr's can do them here in TX. I read in a parosmia group that one lady's T went and another guy it went down by 50%. Their T was caused by rona.

Let me know this shits caused all kinda pain in ears to jaw to neck for me nightmare i could definently use one

Hi LostinTX, I'm new here and found you because I searched the forum for Texas. Have you found anyone/anything helpful here in the D/FW area? Sorry for sort of hijacking this thread....Not really sure how to navigate the forum and feeling so desperate!

Allow more time and try to find ways to relax until then <3

@Steph1710 thank you for the encouragement! I am having more times if I'm out doing things I sometimes can't hear it and that's massive improvement. Just got back from Dr too and as I suspected I am in full force early menopause :( and will be starting creams/hrt to see how that goes before I jump to BioTE hormone pellets. I'm so hopeful the progesterone will help my sleep though!

@LostinTX well I’m wishing you all the best! Hopefully the hormone pellets will offer you some relief. <3

yes i did. i still have hyperacusis though

Nerve blocks

Nerve blocks forsure

Think you need to trial everything seperate so you know what works or causes spikes

@Hottopic29 I finally got the LDN filled. Well, 50 mg and diluted myself. Tried 1mg today and I think it got louder. Read up on one of my LDN forums and several people said made their T worse! So I've backed off piracetam and also this for now

@LostinTX yea i read that too causes a spike for some im unsure about @jhonnykarate if he had spike have to read his story

I remember having to attend my daughters 8th grade graduation at the football stadium. You'll make it through it okay. I made it with only foam earplugs that day.

I didn't wear earplugs, luckily we were on the quieter end of the building. I still got a db meter app and measured it was about 85 db where we were. Stayed about 2 hours. My T isn't noise induced so I don't get as nervous. In the beginning though I did have major reactivity and

wore earplugs for a bout 3 months blow drying my hair, walking my dogs (as they bark a lot) and vacuuming. I slowly got more and more used to it so I have no reactivity any more.

@makeyourownluck when I was getting my periods last year, yes it would get louder. Thankfully, I don't think menopause is impacting the T but it IS giving me more insomnia on top of it which is really breaking me! T has gradually been getting lower but I started out super severe. I didn't know everyone that gets it doesn't hear over the freeway and blaring inside stores etc. It was insane.

I am praying it continues to go down and I can enjoy TV and other stuff again. I never had an IUD but could never take BC made me crazy

@LostinTX insomnia on top of T insomnia sounds rough. I hope it all resolves quickly. I am not looking forward to going through it.

As far as the TV goes. Someone here suggested playing white noise on a speaker at the same time as watching TV. This tip has made it possible for me to enjoy films again. Almost like tricking my brain.

Mine is reactive to all sounds & I have to stay in silence pretty much. Was yours ever like that?

Like I can't even talk on a cell phone and my own voice seems to be agitating it and people talking.

@Travis Henry in the beginning it was reactive to a lot of things but not everything

Anyway,even though I struggled a lot back then it was a walk in the park comparing to what I have now. My T wasn't reactive and I didn't have H back then. Now I have around 6-7 tones.

@aura mines awful to its same both ears and wavering tones in silence fills my head

@Hottopic29 I also had a spike after ENT tests, but it got better after a time...

Ive heard people who got that under control with hormones there t went away

I would LOVE to be in that club again. That was heaven! Nowadays i dont look for it to hear it in stores or other public places unfortunately.

Hows the microdose

I think it's going ok? I don't expect big differences microdosing at least for a few weeks. T has been "manageable" but I'd really like to not be aware of it in the day etc.

I order the mushrooms online from BC in capsules lol

oh yeah i saw that post from Samantha and the LD Naltrexone! Good on ordering the mushroom capsules. Here in TX I had to source them on the DL

Yea its illegal in canada to not even sure how theuy able to sell them but the po stores on every corner were illegal back then but they still operated lol

Ahahaha! Brilliant! XD

Oops was a brain implant, of course! https://finance.yahoo.com/news/want-beer-paralysed-man-communicates-154452109.html

well said LostinTX

@LostinTX what clinical trial are you ending April 1? Has it helped at all?

Hi @Jerad my time in the trial ends April 1st. I was accepted in OTO 313 for unilateral. I don't know if I got drug or placebo yet, but I noticed 2 weeks after that my sleep improved massively and yes my T has improved but I don't know if it was the drug or time as I am 16 months in.

Lenire is the one that doesn't want FDA approval and they know they won't get it, they care about money.

Susan Shore device is around the corner and is a lot better option

@NYCGuy seriously? I thought they applied for FDA approval already? And is Susan Shore's device for somatic T?

You and me both

Have faith, it's free of charge.

And I say, hey!

Steph, take a look at the dark circles under the eyes, and the look on her face; you can tell she needs a fix bad.

Oxycontin, but hey you were close!
