    @Cmspgran what did you find useful about Gabapentin? I wouldnt say it does much for the tinnitus, but does have a bit of a bufferring effect. Its good for stress and sleep, and taking the focus off it. I thought you had Pregabalin?

    Hyperacusis/Noxacusis Healed by Tackling Mental Health

    Not entirely true. I had hyperacusis that, in a sense, started suddenly a few years before the acoustic shock. Each time I experience a setback, even after acoustic trauma, I try to take care of my mental health to get back on track. To this day, this strategy still works. Sometimes it takes...

    I agree and the more I read I think a significant element of our problems are hyperexictable nerves/central sensitisation gone wild. Gabapentin was a good effective drug for me, I just haven’t asked for it again as convinced GP will pull me off clonazepam, potentially time for a mega slow taper...

    Lenire — Bimodal Stimulation Treatment by Neuromod

    I don’t think Neuromod cares about improving their product, as they seem to have realized they can keep profiting from people’s despair. If you search online for “best working treatment for tinnitus,” the first result you’ll see is “Bimodal stimulation / Lenire.” There’s no need for them to...

    Melbourne University Bionics Institute Develops New Treatment for Hearing Loss with Nanotechnology

    I spoke online with someone who was involved in the trials for objective tinnitus testing. They mentioned being informed about this nanotechnology for hearing loss. The conversation took place in the summer of 2024, and they were told that human trials were less than two years away. So, 2027...

    DMSO Cured My Unilateral Tinnitus?

    Is This a Form of Pulsatile Tinnitus Caused by Hearing Loss, or Something Else?

Thank you for your advice, and I’m so sorry that you seem to be suffering from the same issues as I am. It truly is horrible. I’m aware of middle ear myoclonus, and that is a...

    Hearing Humming That Stops with External Noise

    Still there unfortunately. I occasionally get a night when it doesn’t seem to happen, and sometimes a day when it occurs if it’s quiet enough. For the most part, though, it has stayed in the same pattern. When it’s extremely quiet, mostly at night, the humming appears, and even a small amount of...

    Is This a Form of Pulsatile Tinnitus Caused by Hearing Loss, or Something Else?

    Is it truly a rumble? Look up middle ear myoclonus. Sometimes it can be triggered by stress. However, you may have a neurological form of low-frequency tinnitus. I have this too—the low hum or rumble that sounds like Morse code. It’s horrible, so you have my sympathies. Yours sounds louder than...

    Losing Myself Because of Unbearable Tinnitus

    Some considerations: 1. Hearing aids with sound therapy, fans, and white noise machines never worked for me. Widex hearing aids have different sound features that you may find relaxing.

    Struggling with Tinnitus and Hyperacusis: Why Are Audiologists So Misinformed?

    Sorry to interrupt, but the auditory reflex works properly only when the middle ear is functioning as it should. What if the middle ear itself is damaged? The muscles, tendons, eardrum, and ossicles are all anchored in collagen tissue. If that tissue is not working properly, what happens then...

    Experimenting with DMSO for Tinnitus Relief: Personal Protocol and Early Observations

    I was reading that B12 combined with DMSO is supposed to be beneficial for people with tinnitus. However, the article didn’t provide any information about dilution ratios, how much to apply, or where it should be used. Unfortunately, they leave us guessing.

    I recently purchased some DMSO and have used it a few times at a 50% dilution for aches and pains. I’m starting low because I’m skeptical and a bit nervous about using it.

    My Tinnitus Is 50% Gone Because of Nigella Sativa (Black Seed Oil)

    Cilcare's CIL001 Targets Cochlear Synaptopathy — An American/French Collaboration

    Cilcare no longer writes on their website that the interventional trials against tinnitus will start during 2026. I suppose that means we are in for a long wait. Personally, I find CIL001 much more interesting than Susan Shore's device. I mean, I hope it eventually hits the market and that...

    Your statement about the CNS is obvious. You said in post #12 that "hyperacusis is considered more of a brain disorder than an ear disorder." I'm still waiting for your quotes from credible sources to back this. Many people on this forum have reported hyperacusis after exposure to loud...

    Struggling with Tinnitus and Hyperacusis: Why Are Audiologists So Misinformed?

    I disagree. Please do not confuse otalgia with a stabbing pain triggered by sound. The ear has very strong compensatory mechanisms. The initial problem lies in the eardrum, which experts may say is functioning properly, but it actually is not.
