Thank you for your kind words, love it! I am doubtful, though, on the "build it and they will come" quote. Maybe I misunderstand what you're saying, but the HUGE challenge we face is reaching a) as many people as possible, which takes major marketing efforts, and b) reaching the right people...

Duh… I thought the Bionic Lab Institute of Australia, in Adelaide, I think, had already taken care of that. There’s a lengthy thread about it here. Is there some kind of “Chinese wall” between the various researchers or what? FYI...

My left ear static is back. Annoying as hell. At least it doesn’t hurt accept when I blow air up my left Eustachian tube with my EarPopper.

The minimum investment is $50k, I think. It’s not something the average tinnitus patient could invest in, and there’s no guarantee it will show positive results in another trial.

Thank you, @AnnieMac, for coming back to share your recovery. It adds to the anecdotal database that forms the functional strength of this forum, giving hope to those who have not yet recovered.

Hi everyone, I am a 25-year-old woman and very new to tinnitus. It has been a little over a month since this started. I am devastated and looking for people who understand, because those around me do not. I have had two hearing tests this month, both normal. I have gone to many concerts, more...

Hi @emmie, Your post describes me perfectly. I’ve had pulsatile tinnitus since August this year, and I’m not coping well. I’m on antidepressants and sleeping medication, but I feel sick to my stomach, can’t eat, and can’t sleep. I’m waiting for my MRI and MRA results next week. I’m praying they...

How is that? Doesn’t every company out there, even medical ones like the Hough Ear Institute, ask for donations? Even the University of Michigan itself keeps sending me emails asking for donations after I gave just 10 euros on the page they had for Susan Shore.

Dear @ZFire, It’s Saturday night here. I’m in bed, lying next to my wife. The boys are downstairs, gaming or doing whatever they do. We had pizza tonight—a big treat here, though not as big a treat as seeing that you’ve checked in. I’m not in the USA. I’ll leave that to you, bro. I see things...

I am just bitter at this point. Bitter and numb.

What’s your protocol? Are you putting DMSO in your ear?

Update 7: Since I took the steroid shot 10 days after it started, which was two days ago, I’m beginning to notice some improvement in my hearing. I can now hear my own voice normally, and the toilet flush sounds clear without any distortion. I think that’s an accomplishment.

I wonder if NAC can help with severe hearing loss like mine. I had a steroid shot in my eardrum two days ago, and it was incredibly painful. I don’t want to get a cochlear implant because it’s expensive, and I don’t want to lose my natural hearing. Most people probably wouldn’t understand why I...

Interestingly, I’ve heard people say their tinnitus gets worse for days after a steroid shot, but during the injection it becomes loud only temporarily and then calms down within seconds.

Hah! I wish I did know that initial donor, I'll work on that... And that's awesome. I love hearing it. There's a famous movie line here in the states..."If you build it, he will come." I believe that the existence of an endowment could help secure its funding, and it also provides a convenient...

Do you mean they hadn't contacted you to start the verification process?

Eight-year-olds, dude!

It becomes clear that we need an objective tinnitus test to measure its existence and loudness. As long as we do not have that, it will remain too difficult, if not impossible, for anyone to develop a treatment that can reliably pass clinical trials. I had hoped the Shore device would work and...

Has anyone had Auricle get back to them regarding investing? We did not receive a response. We would meet the criteria to invest.

Did you experience any withdrawal from it? There’s a story on Reddit about Tofisopam withdrawal causing tinnitus.

Before Trump's election in 2016, Sir David Attenborough quipped, "We could shoot him," in an interview about how to address a potential Trump presidency, adding, "It's not a bad idea" before chuckling. This is a person who thinks that he is better than Trump and his supporters. People have, in...

Today is a good day, my tinnitus is probably a 2 out of 10. If it were always like this, I’d consider myself cured. But it’s frustrating that days like this are so rare. It’s unbelievable that my brain is capable of giving me days like this, yet can’t make them happen more often, or all the...

I’m so glad! Your story gives me a lot of hope that mine will also resolve. I’m getting close now. It has reduced dramatically over the last three months, and I feel like I’m in the final stretch. Stories like yours remind me that recovery is possible.

Hi Ernie, I dropped off because my tinnitus got much better, just as everyone had said it would, although it took time and a lot of work. I was even hospitalized for severe depression. I also stopped posting because I didn’t want to get caught up in talking about it all the time, which I now...

ur not real person imo

Sometimes the truth comes out. There’s the case of Kim Philby, who trained the fledgling U.S. counter-espionage agency, the CIA, in the 1940s and 1950s. Incredible but true. He spent his golden years not in England but in Moscow, along with McLean from the British Ministry of Defense and Burgess...

I fired up an old account to reply to this. It sounds like you’re also suffering from depression and anxiety. Have you spoken to a mental health professional? Tinnitus activates our inner alarm system and can greatly increase anxiety, creating a feedback loop of distress. The sudden loss of...

I had very faint tinnitus since childhood, and I’ve returned to that baseline. It’s barely noticeable in a completely silent room. To be honest, it might as well not exist at this point, as it makes no difference to me.

starting a clomipramine who gives a fuck after this point. first i need to taper my clonazepam my psych already agreed to give me clomipramine. and i bet i know it will fuck my tinnitus and visual snow even more since i am the unluckiest piece of shit in the entire planet

How are your ears now? I remember you were pretty severe. I hope you’ve been getting at least a little better! Do you play without sound?

October update (31/10/2025) I don’t think I’ve made any progress this month, as my MML and MAL remain about the same, which is disappointing. The reason, however, is clear. I skipped a lot of days of listening to pink noise, and on the other days I didn’t manage to reach eight hours. This was...

Sorry to hear you had such a bad case, but I’m glad it’s now just a low white noise type of sound. I completely understand what you mean about unnatural sounds from speakers. Whenever I listen to music through one, it gives me a headache and makes my tinnitus a bit louder if I listen for too...

Further trials were mentioned in the presentation and again at the end during the investors’ pitch. The point is that the data from Phase 2 did not show a clear benefit. The second group did not experience improvement from the treatment compared to the sound-only (placebo) phase. Of all the...

Go bigger and cut to size.

Hey Kerry. I messaged you on another forum. I do hope the prednisone has helped you at least be able to sleep better?

Auricle can’t accept money from just anyone. The FDA could view that as pre-marketing, which is not something a company wants to risk. If you’re an accredited investor, you can invest in them. The minimum investment is $50,000. Go for it now. https://auricleinc.com/joinourmission

A short summary of this paper: 1. Tinnitus is associated with abnormal neural activity in the brain, particularly in the auditory cortical regions, though not limited to them. 2. Tinnitus is a central nervous system disorder (and may be considered a form of brain injury), but how or whether...

I struggle to understand why this device is taking so long to reach the market. If funding is the issue, there are countless individuals — including musicians, actors, business people, and others — who would be ready to help financially, myself included. From the recent interview, many of us...

I’m not afraid to wait. It’s okay for me if it takes time. What I’m afraid of is that it will never change for the rest of my life.

A gunshot in 2016 caused me mild hyperacusis and tinnitus in my right ear. In 2021, car airbags caused noise exposure and tinnitus in my left ear. Now both ears have every symptom you can imagine. Everything really, lots of Fortnite and CoD. Fallout and Helldivers are fun too.

You are still regurgitating this right-wing social media propaganda bullshit? It’s getting old. Please find something new to say, cultist. So, where's the actual evidence that the 10 million migrants include widespread criminals like murderers or traffickers? Because if you look at the data...

I definitely appreciate what everyone in this thread has said! I tend to habituate pretty quickly to situations like a moderately loud restaurant or social gathering. I’ll feel fine in the moment and for the rest of that day, but the next day a long spike begins. It almost feels like being back...

Thank you @lusiol. I posted in another thread about an ultrasound helmet that can have the same effect as DBS. I think using something like that to pinpoint where to permanently stimulate in the future will make a big difference. At the moment, it feels like guessing, but at the same time, it...

Been doing pretty decent for a couple of weeks! Didnt get any spike from below accident with the grinder. Today i sat next to someone that had a OBNOXIOUS loud ringtone close to me today for about 20 Second (it was ringing and he had to "finish talking" before he aswered it.) He sat right next...

Here: https://www.tinnitustalk.com/attachments/c8892-embargo-pdf.63103/ And here is the oral defense of her PhD, which I haven’t yet watched with English subtitles: Six patients were planned, but only four completed the implantation and one-year follow-up. After one year: 1 patient...

I went to the audiologist two days ago. She cleaned my earwax, but it didn’t make any difference. However, I had a steroid shot yesterday. There hasn’t been a big improvement, but I did notice a small one in my hearing. I think my hearing will come back in a couple of months. I just need to...

Why did the left-wing creatures “boss” let in 10 million illegal aliens, including murderers, gang members, drug smugglers, and human traffickers? What a mess it caused to open up our sovereign border.

Hi there, I’m 12 months in. I was journaling a lot at the beginning and can see some improvement in the loudness of my tinnitus, although some days are still as difficult as when I first heard it. Have you watched Julian Cowan Hill’s videos on YouTube? He had severe tinnitus for over 20 years...

Congratulations America. You played yourself.
