Thank you Ben van der Valk. I hope you find relief.

Great work! I’ll be donating monthly and look forward to seeing the progress made. :)

Hit my first T birthday on Friday. It feels so unreal. Still 4 days in Rehab. Met so many sufferers...

Hers went away about a month after giving birth. I think she developed it around halfway through her pregnancy. She had a low-pitched, engine-like grumbling tinnitus at night that drove her to despair. But as I said, it eventually resolved. Fingers crossed yours does too, though with tinnitus...

Ah, it’s the worst! I’m about six months in. Mine developed after an infection. I don’t care about my high-pitched tinnitus, but this low-pitch noise is brutal. I don’t sense a vibration (I don’t think mine is deep enough), but I can feel the sound waves “moving” when I plug my ears or when I’m...

I just read the article about Ben van der Valk and thought it was great. Thank you, Ben, for helping out tremendously. I agree that Tinnitus Quest will do great things.

There is more going on than just the SSD. Rinri Therapeutics is researching regenerative cell therapy to regenerate damaged auditory neurons. Recently, scientists managed to keep a slice of cochlea alive outside the body, allowing them to observe how hair cells amplify sound. These are just a...

I’m scared to take tablets for Vitamin B12. I would rather get my B12 from food sources.

I know that a lot of people are skeptical about AI, but I’m not one of them. However, when it comes to what you’re talking about—a real treatment for tinnitus—what are the chances that it will actually come about in our lifetime? Also, most people would still rather be around, young enough, and...

That’s so great! Is your tinnitus completely gone, or do you still have it?

After my onset of high-frequency reactive tinnitus in January, I stopped trying different supplements and treatments to fix it. The only things I currently take are 4 g of Omega-3, 400 mg of Magnesium Biglycinate, and 1000 IU of Vitamin D3. I’m no longer trying to find my frequency, as it’s...

Today, as the tinnitus rings on and fills my head, all I can think about for the past few hours is the person who did this to me, the MRI tech who I begged and pleaded to fix my hearing protection, only to be told multiple times it is in properly and threatened to end the session because they...

I am starting clomipramine soon i dont care. I need something for my pain.

I read your original post, and I’m so sorry this is happening to you. It sounds like your case is exceptionally severe. Can I gently suggest that you still have time to improve, and that your condition isn’t necessarily permanent? It seems you’ve had tinnitus for about the same amount of time as...

Today is the quietest my tinnitus has been since this all started. I’m in a completely silent room, and I can barely hear it—it’s so faint. I truly hope this means I’m in the final stretch before it disappears for good. I’m running low on food, though, and really need to go to the grocery...

I don't think you can realistically compare past research on tinnitus cures to what AI will be able to do in the future using the same metric. As AI continues to develop, we are likely to see superhuman intelligence in the next few years, with IQs well over 1000. AI will be able to carry out...

Hey Sonia, I’m doing great, thank you very much. Yes, it generally improved. My hyperacusis still fluctuates, and I notice it again when I’m sick, but overall it doesn’t bother me in daily life anymore.

This discussion is literally about a treatment that should be available within five years. Auricle aside, we seem to be living in a promising time for tinnitus research. There are several other treatments currently in testing, and I believe that within ten years, we could see multiple options...

Look forward to it (y) As it happens, E... I was frying with one of our pans a couple of weeks ago when the handle fell off. Ended up covered in onions, so I'm on the market for a decent new skillet. I picked some leaves this afternoon, having found this recipe, to try out, with steak and the...

You are not even American, so your opinions are worthless to me. In my opinion, Trump and his cabinet members are doing a good job. Meanwhile, the Democrats are shutting down our government until they can allow transgender men in women’s sports and locker rooms, and provide free healthcare to...

I have something similar to you in my left ear. There’s a steady tone in complete silence, and a morse code type sound when there’s external noise that interacts with it. I can feel my eardrum, or the skin around that area, vibrating when it rests on my pillow. I’ve found that playing a...

Where did you read that Wayne Kent Taylor tried Lenire? Wikipedia reports that he tried an “experimental treatment,” but the footnoted link is an article behind a paywall. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wayne_Kent_Taylor

No, I took NAC during the early onset of my tinnitus from acoustic trauma, and it gave me high-frequency reactive tinnitus, which has been absolute hell on earth.

No one has ever developed hyperacusis simply by staying in relative silence. You might notice some sounds seem louder than usual when you’re exposed to them again, but that’s just normal conditioning of the ears. It’s similar to thinking high frequencies sound very sharp right after cleaning...

Do you guys think an improved version of Lenire might be available in the near future? A version that would not only help users adapt to tinnitus but also reduce its intensity, similar to Dr. Shore’s device? Maybe I’m dreaming a bit, but since this device has been on the market for about five...

Thank you for your reply. I’ve heard of women developing tinnitus after an epidural due to a CSF leak. It’s rare but usually treatable with a blood patch. I’ll be having spinal anesthesia, which directly punctures the dural sac, so there might be a slightly higher risk. Still, I’m staying...

Hi @another_person, I’m so sorry to read your story. The way you describe your tinnitus and how it affects your mood is exactly how I would describe my own experience. I use the same words as you, so yes, everyone here understands your suffering. The first time I had tinnitus, I was 21 years...

What the researchers are saying is that they can only compare one treatment group to another if both begin at the same baseline TFI. Because treatment group 1 did not return to baseline at week 12, which they had expected would happen, they cannot conduct any analysis on treatment group 2. As a...

Hey @Kerry151, I think we spoke before? I just wanted to thank you for your kind message of support and to ask how the past few days have been. I’m absolutely convinced that this spike you’re experiencing will eventually subside, so please try not to lose hope.

I wouldn’t lose all hope. Research is focusing on hearing loss and targeting older age groups since all of us experience some degree of hearing loss as we age. If they find an effective treatment for hearing loss, and if hearing loss is indeed the main cause behind tinnitus, I believe age won’t...

Let me get this straight. You didn’t take NAC for an already existing case of tinnitus that later got worse, but instead you actually developed tinnitus after taking NAC? If that’s the case, how much NAC did you take, for how long, and what was the reason for taking it in the first place, if...

I want to get better. I will have to get better for my family, for my brother and for my girlfriend. I am a good human being and i know it. I have a pure heart. I never harmed anyone else besides myself. I have to be better. I have to heal. Even if not physhically but mentally. This shit gotta...

Hi, I’m new here. I’m a retired mom and grandmother. I’m not sure when my tinnitus started, but I remember my hearing being muffled after a high school concert where I must have been too close to the speakers. Over the years, I’ve had occasional ringing that came and went for short periods, but...

New here. Found this site while reviewing Quietum Plus. Does anyone know if this supplement really works?

The spike is still bad. I was hoping there would be some improvement by now. I’m also in Canada. I find that if I get some decent quality sleep, I wake up with it slightly reduced, if that makes sense. There’s more of a hiss and the tones seem a bit lower, though it’s hard to describe...

It wasn’t until I took NAC that my high-frequency reactive tinnitus started, though I wasn’t completely sure at first since I had taken a few other supplements at the same time. I’m so sorry you’re going through this, OP. I’m ten months post-NAC use, and unfortunately, I haven’t improved. I...

@Meinz89, I’ve heard of people developing my form of tinnitus, a deep droning hum, after an epidural. I don’t mean to scare you, but I wanted to mention it since I’ve come across similar cases. On a positive note, my friend experienced tinnitus while she was pregnant, and it disappeared after...

I’m so sorry to hear about your experience. I have had tinnitus for about thirteen years. I also had severe hyperacusis when the tinnitus began, and almost all of it resolved within about a year. I share that for context. Over the past thirteen years, I have had at least two major noise...

Hey, I've had three surgeries under general anesthesia since my tinnitus got worse about six years ago, and none of them made it any worse. Before my first one, I had the same worry as you, so I did quite a bit of research, and almost everyone reported no worsening at all. I think you can...

I am 55 years old, and I understand that I will likely die with tinnitus given the circumstances. There is nothing available that could realistically work within the next five years. As I get older, my body will not respond the same way it once did, so even if something becomes available within...

Human study looking at ALA: The Effect of Alpha-Lipoic Acid in the Treatment of Chronic Subjective Tinnitus through the Tinnitus Handicap Inventory Scores

You were how old?

As I read through the forums, I remember why I deleted my previous account. Most threads were started a decade or more ago, and we are still nowhere closer to a treatment than the hopeful souls of years past. I see a thread and feel a flicker of hope, only to notice the original date and...

And now, after a few days, I’m back with a slightly different whooshing sound. This seems to be an unending process. I thought I was doing better. Nope. Good luck to the rest of you.

Hi friends, Some of you might recognize me from my earlier, sad lil posts this year — I developed tinnitus suddenly at 7 weeks pregnant back in April. I'm now 35 weeks and scheduled for a C-section on November 11, and while I'm excited to meet my baby boy, I'm also anxious about how the spinal...

Looking at the history of these forums, people have been saying, “Just a few more years, just wait a little longer,” for over a decade. I’m sure that even before these forums existed, people were saying the same thing many years ago. Frankly, even if AI found a cure, I doubt I would benefit, as...

Friend, please hold on. Before you read this and assume I'm just another sufferer with "manageable" tinnitus — here to hand you empty positivity or false hope — please know that's not who I am, and that's not what this is. (Also, I'm sorry this is a long post) I have been where you are now...

Fasting seems to bring the volume down to a tolerable level every other week. Otherwise, I can’t function or sleep. I usually fast for 72 hours with only water, and occasionally I’ve gone up to five days. The volume starts to drop after about 24 hours and decreases even more by 36 hours. I love...

Yeah, a transatlantic voyage… Southampton to New York… Hmm, I think I’ve seen that before, and I’m pretty sure it didn’t go well, LOL. At least not for a guy named Jack. But jokes aside, it isn’t easy to arrange such a trip, even for ordinary people, let alone for people like us whose ears seem...
