Hi @Alberte, I am so sorry to make everyone despair, but at this very moment, I do not see any.

I can’t believe they rejected you either, even with a letter. Jerks. Johns Hopkins is one of the best hospitals in the USA, or at least it used to be. If you can afford it or if insurance will help, you should go. Just drive, take breaks, and sleep at a motel if needed. I don’t know if they can...

This thread is also an opportunity to share studies showing that certain investigative tools reveal no biomarkers for tinnitus. In this case, it’s about resting-state qEEG and tinnitus laterality, though I don’t really see the point of focusing on laterality rather than tinnitus as a whole...

I would consider it, but logistically it would probably be a bit of a nightmare when you take into account flights, car rentals, time off work, and scheduling appointments. Not to mention the challenge of bringing the device back into the EU. You could try to get it through customs unnoticed...

That’s sad, although he lived a long life. I spoke with Dr. Shulman a couple of times by phone. I also recently heard that Dr. Paparella, another well-known ENT, passed away in 2024. I had seen Dr. Paparella in person at his clinic in downtown Minneapolis years ago.

Hi @Sonia554, I’m not doing well right now. I’ve been hearing a somewhat high-pitched frequency coming from outside, and even though I know it’s not in my head, I can’t help but feel anxious about it. Lately, I’ve been feeling better and calmer, but that sound makes me miss silence even more. I...

We matched the electrode placement and current exactly. As you can see from my report, I did deviate in duration at times, doing 30-minute sessions instead of 20. But please call them and try it yourself! Just because it didn’t work for me doesn’t mean it won’t work for you.

Flonase and Nasonex are brand names. You can find them next to each other in the pharmacy section near the decongestants. I’m not a doctor, but I do think your hearing is very likely to recover if you have an ear infection, which seems to be what the Amoxicillin is for. Fluid buildup in your...

Welcome to the forum, @Fudgeman. Thank you for outlining the mold investigation you’ve conducted. I find that mold is a hidden health issue that many of us are unaware of. I’m looking forward to your next post.

Hi everyone. Since December 2024, I’ve been experiencing pulsatile tinnitus in my right ear. I went to an ENT and had a hearing test, which came back normal, and an MRI that showed I apparently have twisted blood vessels near my right ear. They might be pressing on a nerve that controls facial...

Thank you for your advice. I have a few questions. What brand of Flonase or Nasonex would you recommend for me to use? Do you think my hearing will recover so that I can hear voices normally again, like I did two days ago in the morning before the sudden decline from Eustachian tube...

How did it go?

In my opinion, and this is extremely unfortunate as a musician and devoted student of music, we must avoid most live amplified concerts. I would guess we all suspect this is true, but we do not want to admit it. I now know from experience that each amplified concert is like playing Russian...

Afrin can cause a rebound effect and actually make your problems worse. Flonase or Nasonex would be better options.

New here. I’ve browsed this site before but finally decided to register. I wanted to share some information. I moved into my girlfriend’s house in 2014. She and her ex bought it in 2003, and it was built in 1984. The house I left was built in 1948 and had its issues, but her house is a mess...

Update 2: My uncle brought over Afrin nasal spray to help with my Eustachian tube dysfunction. I wonder if it’s a good idea to use it?

Twenty-two months later I begin to resume my hobbies

@IYIiKe, I read this again, and I think it’s a well-thought-out point. Many new studies are using fMRI, EEG, and MEG to measure changes alongside treatments. This is something Tinnitus Quest has included in its outcome measures proposal. We did this based on what many patients here have said...

Hi @Fightthearmy, I am not barred from entry. In all honesty, it's very unlikely I would travel to America for the treatment.

Can you provide a link for the 50 dB NRR hearing protection?

@Yu.3, your experience almost exactly matches mine. It started for me at the end of April 2024, so I’m also about 18 months into this. I have occasional “good days,” but they’re inevitably followed by bad ones. I still get ridiculously optimistic when I have a run of good days and fool myself...

Are there any studies or research currently being done on Oxytocin? I’m amazed that there’s no information available, especially since there were some real successes with those trials.

And how might the rest of the world concern you? Are you barred from entering the US for treatment?

I've had many MRIs that helped diagnose medical issues; very similar to dental appointments. You have to take care of yourself and not worry about your tinnitus. Control what you can control, which is your reaction to the tinnitus symptoms.

None.

I wish it could stay this way forever, for the rest of my life. The problems weren't as furious today as they are most of the time.

Not surprised that Trump’s Hamas–Israel peace plan has completely fallen apart in less than a week.

According to the internet: Lenire officially filed its submission with the FDA on December 21, 2022. Following that, the FDA granted the De Novo approval in March 2023.

That’s absolutely amazing, @TemporaryTHope! What an incredible improvement. Is the sound still mild for you? It sounds like you might be on your way to a quick resolution. The less you use earplugs, the better. I’d always carry them with you just in case, but if you don’t have any sensitivity...

Hi everyone, I’m brand new to this site. I hope to gain more knowledge and understanding about the tinnitus I’ve been experiencing for the past 10 years. From what I’ve read in your posts, it seems I’m in for a long and difficult road toward any kind of healing. My tinnitus is constant, from...

There are many promising ones you can find in the Research News section of the forum, but none of them are realistic or will be available anytime soon.

Update: I went to the ER at a local hospital last night. I got Amoxicillin and a cream for my eyelid bump.

@Alberte, I don't know. Who cares? The way I understood the presentation with Jon Pearson is that the remaining work before approval is: Develop an integrated, market-ready device. Conduct a larger trial, since phase 2 did not show improvement in the group that received the placebo first. But...

Shower, dishwasher, vacuum cleaner, and noisy restaurant environments are around 70 dB. In the UK, the officially accepted threshold for ear or hearing damage begins at 90 dB. If your ears are already damaged, I believe that sound levels below 90 dB can still cause further harm. Audiograms are...

Hello @Frédéric, according to you, what are the most promising and realistic treatments that might be available soon?

@Nick47, how long did it take for Lenire to obtain FDA approval?

In a couple of weeks, it will be 18 months, a year and a half. So far, things are pretty much the same. There are good days, not-so-good days, and bad days. Usually, I’d say at least 15 out of 30 days each month are good or at least decent. When I have bad days, I get a bit down. When I have...

Sorry to have to welcome you to the forum. Your story is familiar to most of us, so I’ll keep my response short. During the first three months, try to limit sound exposure to around 60 dB whenever possible. After that, slowly begin introducing more sound, but avoid staying in environments...

@Nick47, that’s what’s great about this technology—there are so many different possible outcomes. If we were able to safely identify where to stimulate for each person, it would make actual DBS surgery much more effective. We could know exactly where to place the stimulation because we’d already...

Thanks for the advice! I’m super happy to report that I’m seeing some very welcome improvements. First, I’ll attribute this progress mainly to my constant prayers to God, as I’m a firm believer that He’s the best doctor. Secondly, I also believe that Nicotinamide Riboside Hydrogen Malate...

Have you got any better?

I had pulsating tinnitus. There was something wrong with my blood, I can’t remember exactly what, but I was given some medicine for it, and the pulsating went away.

I had a high-pitched sound, and now I think it’s about 30% better. So yes, it can get better! ^^

This new timeline is not cool 😢. How did Lenire make it through the FDA while this device still needs more testing before submission? I’m pretty sure Lenire didn’t even have a control group in their study. Did they mention what they’ve accomplished in the past year and a half? I think the MRI...

Odd, I’ve been having major issues with my pulsatile tinnitus lately. In fact, it started a year ago, in October 2024. It must have something to do with the time of year or the weather.

70 decibels is the threshold where hearing cell damage begins. Hearing cell damage is cumulative over time with continued noise exposure. Each episode of tinnitus you experience is an indicator of excessive noise exposure and hearing cell damage. Every recurring episode of tinnitus suggests a...

Hi, how are you doing now, @Meinz89? I had an MRI last weekend. I used the foam earplugs they provided along with the overhead headphones, and the following day I noticed a tinnitus spike along with ear pressure. It hasn’t settled, and it’s horrible.

I had an MRI with contrast one week ago today. I didn’t want to do it, but it was crucial for my diagnosis. My tinnitus was fine afterward, but the next evening it increased. I have TMJD and have had tinnitus along with ear clicking, clacking, and banging when swallowing for three years. I also...

Not feeling good right now, I barely hear voices and my appointment is on the 27th of Octoober, I wish I can go earlier

OK, I’m 73 and have had it for about 15 months. It might have something to do with that COVID shot! Oh well. Just before starting this post, my tinnitus was really, really loud. Last night’s sleep was pretty bad. I just found this forum today. But as I write this post, my tinnitus has stopped...
