I would assume it could work if they found a formula that is effective and safe for humans. Treating the underlying cause would be better, but having something that treats the symptoms would be the next best thing.

Yes, sort of. They are related in one way or another. I do not get sudden discomfort or pain from loud noise either, only if I have had a flare in tense jaw or TMD issues. About concerts and similar events, unfortunately I can only tell you one thing: stay away. It is a gamble with very high...

my right ear exploded since 3 -4 days after my sickness it was lowest since 14 months now right ear cuts everything 15 khz very loud it has to go away again. please :(

Dear @Tika, I am very sorry that you have to go through this. I did OAE tests three times over the last two years after getting tinnitus from a loud bar. As the person conducting the tests explained, an OAE result comes out negative for a given frequency when there is a hearing loss of around 25...

That is just a typo by the webmaster. The letter U is close to the letter I on the keyboard.

what method

Yeah. I made my situation worse 6 months ago. There has been some improvement, but definitely worse. Will write post about it later.

Like the title says, Germany is planning to invest 500 million euros over the next 10 years for CFS. The first thing I want to say is that I am extremely happy for these people. CFS is a terrible condition, and I am glad they are getting the help they need. The second thing I want to say is that...

I am praying for you that it will. I had a tube put in my right ear in August, and it turned out I also had a Staph infection in that ear. I have been taking ear drops and Bactrim for 2 months. The strange thing is that I hear popping and cracking noises in that ear if I bend down, burp, drink...

Hi, did you have any luck with the Octagonal Atlas chiropractor?

Ah, sorry, my mistake. It is interesting that you have a dip at around 3 kHz, even though it is still within the normal hearing pass range. That is the same thing I get when they play high tones at the same frequency as my tinnitus. You hear the tone, but you cannot distinguish it from the...

Was calling Trump the gay candidate remotely plausible? Trump does not hang the Pride flag at the White House like Biden did.

Has a consensus been reached on whether hyperacusis and reactive tinnitus are actually related? I get zero pain or discomfort from loud noise, but my tinnitus reacts like crazy and often competes or changes to a higher, louder pitch with fan type noises, such as the ones from the air purifiers...

Thank you kindly for your reply, @Scruffiey. I really appreciate your honesty and valuable advice about this. It is great to have friends like you, and during the tough times it does not feel so lonely when you know you have brothers out there fighting the same fight with you. Thank you. Today...

I’m not sure about this one, since they spelled tinnitus wrong, but it’s still great to see more and more research and attempts to cure this disease.

This is more out of curiosity. If you read my post, you can see that I got bleach on my eardrum, which caused a burn but not a hole, and I was exposed to the noise of a table wood saw during healing while wearing headphones that didn’t block sound. I’ve had tinnitus ever since. December is month...

No worries, you will see that it works just fine. I have been using this method for eight years. If it still feels too loud, you can try light musician earplugs under the headband so you avoid the strong occlusion effect that foam earplugs create. Italy has some great places to ski and I cannot...

It is cool that there are biotech companies that continue to try. However, as far as I understand it, the drug does not aim to heal the underlying cause, which is the damage to the inner ear, but instead to compensate for it by calming the neurons that react because the damaged inner ear is...

Are you any better, Kerry? I feel so miserable 😞

My test result is attached in my opening post. I have perfectly normal hearing in both ears. Recently I have started to think that mine is neurological. The medication they put me on immediately after the surgery gave me severe hyperacusis for one night, and it disappeared the next day. The...

If i don't believe this happened to me and i am constantly saying its not real am i lunatic? Or am i having hard time accepting this is my real life from now on

It's strange how easily things can change, for better or worse. Yesterday morning started off okay, worked through pain that got better in the afternoon, but then things spiraled in the evening and progressed into today. I'm so tired of being hurt. I still cannot believe that this is my reality.

Life is so unfair since 14 months and i don't think its real i just turned 30. I was harmed by a clueless doctor now she lives her life and i am having panic attacks nearly everyday. I am in pain, i am on the verge of giving up i have no emotions since 14 months. Never laughed truly. I don't...

Their pipeline also includes Neu-003, a drug that targets epilepsy. Interesting considering our (limited) understanding of how "tinnutus" and epilepsy potentially overlap, as far as underlying neurological mechanisms go (Kv7/retigabine anyone?). They report data from a GPIAS (Gap-Prepulse...

The only medications I have been taking are Magnesium, B12, and daily vitamins. Other than that, I have been resting and avoiding loud places. That is all you can really do. Sleep, eat well, rest, and give it time.

Which medication caused your tinnitus?

The above article was published in 2023. The current NYT headlines regarding corruption in Ukraine are disturbing. It is critical that the United States implement rigorous oversight and accountability measures for foreign assistance to ensure taxpayer funds are not misused in countries with...

That I cannot answer for you. You will have to make your own judgments and learn your own limits. My ears are not your ears, my tolerances are not your tolerances, my damage is not your damage, and nothing in life is guaranteed or completely safe in any situation. Would I suggest a life of...

Hmmm, I cannot find the exact forum post I read earlier where the person with drug-induced tinnitus eventually had it fade to almost nothing, but here is something from Google’s AI search. I know it is not necessarily infallible, but still worth noting: Have you had a hearing test? That would...

The review acknowledges that high-quality randomized controlled trials are lacking, and that the standardization of protocols is poor. The underlying physiological and mechanistic explanations remain hypotheses rather than established facts. Many studies are small, not blinded, come from...

I have been on the tinnitus bus for 33 years, so I know a few things. If you do not have any pain, muffling, sound distortion, or fullness in the ear, do not bother with an MRI or CT scan. They are pushing it because that is how they make their money. I learned that the hard way, since a...

I got severe, relentless, high-frequency tinnitus after an explosion when I was in my thirties. I was also a frequent Walkman user before the explosion. I could not sleep and I wanted to end it, and this went on for well over a year. But gradually, and I want to emphasize this, very slowly and...

Thank you, @Larkspur. I found a handful of upper cervical chiropractors in the metro Detroit area. I will inquire if they specifically treat tinnitus due to loud noise exposure. Prayers and best wishes to you on your quest for relief.

Answer to the above silly meme: Because once the Dems (and some GOP members) had the votes, it was going to pass. There were several attempts to stop the vote from happening, such as a last-minute meeting in the White House Situation Room with Lauren Boebert, but that failed. That meant that...

A biotech company has a new drug in preclinical development. They seem genuine, but I was not able to find any studies that support their reported results in animal models. The fact that they cannot spell tinnitus was remarkable. https://www.neudirection.com/neu002/

Well, we all know that you have a tendency to believe in things that are not even remotely plausible.

Thanks for this report, @MatthijsDJ. What doses are you taking for all three? I take 22.5 mg of Mirtazapine and 500 mg of Gabapentin a day. The Gabapentin reduces the stress, and it might reduce the tinnitus a little.

@hey, for me, there are two things to consider. First, as you pointed out, mice and rats are not good animal models for tinnitus. Gerbils and guinea pigs are better because their hearing systems are more similar to ours. Second, it has only been tested on animals as either a preventative measure...

I also found that video interesting. RL-81 worked but turned your skin blue, which is almost worth it. I also found the brain activity measurements interesting, especially the effect that white noise had on that activity.

I just finished watching the whole video, and it was insightful. Dr. Tzounopoulos said that RL81 not only worked, but it seemed to have a lasting effect for weeks and months, which showed that tinnitus and hyperacusis can be corrected. This was in mice, unfortunately, but it was still great to...

After reading through some of this site, I am now wondering whether my tinnitus is connected to my neck issues. I have arthritis in my neck (and most joints to some degree) and have had physiotherapy on my neck. I have hearing loss in both ears, worse in my left ear which is so sore inside...

I am in Ontario, Canada, and there are only a handful of Upper Cervical-trained chiropractors in the province. The closest one was one hour and forty minutes from me. I found out about this while researching Meniere’s Disease because they believed my sister had it. When I read that they can...

I can hear my pulse when my head is lying on either side. I’m not sure if this has always been the case. I think it may be normal for me. For what it is worth, I do not hear it at any other time.

I’m sorry you’re facing this. It must be frustrating, especially with only having hearing on one side. The first step is an ENT visit and likely an MRI to see if there is anything structural. Otherwise, if it is sensorineural hearing loss, a hearing aid may help. For now, try masking. If you...

Well, thank you so much, @Scruffiey, for your reply. I appreciate you. It is great to share information here with people who have this in common, because no one else truly understands what we’re going through. It certainly helps to talk with others and to pray for each other for endurance and...

@Sonia554, do you mind sharing what you’ve been doing during this time period? Are you taking any medication or supplements, or are you just letting it habituate? I’ve had severe tinnitus for a month now. It died down by about ten percent two weeks ago, and it has stayed at that baseline since...

I appreciate you posting. But seriously, years without even noticing it? I’m at 7 months now, and my oscillating low-frequency droning, head-shaking tinnitus is there whenever I’m awake. I’d love to believe I can tune it out, but I just can’t. It seems like a preposterous suggestion. Can you...

Do not trust NRR.

I’m a bit shocked by the responses here. We’ve been given a timeline. In less than five years, the device will be on the market. I’m very grateful that they announced their timeline and kept it realistic. Hopefully things will go smoothly, and we’ll be using it before the end of 2028.

I’ve grieved losing the future I wanted and everything I worked toward. I try not to feel anything now. I had awful luck but still tried hard, then I messed up, then more bad luck, then I messed up more, and all of that brought me from mild tinnitus, where I was almost getting over it last...

Thanks a lot for your answer, it is really informative and it matches what I am currently experiencing. I am dealing with hearing fatigue and a setback in my hyperacusis, most likely from being on calls with my friends too much and from not sleeping correctly. So I am back to protecting and...
