    New University of Michigan Tinnitus Discovery — Signal Timing

    Notwithstanding the fact that the sham induced a placebo effect, you can't statistically validate the existing Treatment 1 loudness chart without actually having designed the entire trial as a single-arm trial. Ergo, Susan Shore's statement about how well the active treatment performed in...

    Deep Brain Stimulation (DBS) for Tinnitus

    @LivingGhost371, any TFI change within about 15 points is within the placebo range and daily variation. It is more concerning that 2 of the 3 improvers were also within this range. One person did have a very large improvement though. Taking all the studies together, the results are about 50/50.

    Introducing Tinnitus Quest

    Check out the post about Neu-002 here in the forum. The researchers there called this synchronous activity a “Parasitic Oscillation Loop.” I also read your reply. The first link about tinnitus and sleep is very interesting. I recently developed chronic tinnitus after undergoing major, painful...

    Tinnitus Worse After Attending a Concert with Hearing Protection

    Shoegaze gives you a wall of sound. Reverb and delay are used to sustain notes and chords, while new notes and chords are played. The result is a wall of sound, with all frequencies present all the time. Sometimes you have to concentrate within this wall of sound just to hear the structure of...

    Lidocaine and Dexamethasone Perfusion

    I would really like someone to weigh in on this. I went and saw my ENT today. I was fully expecting him to give me a shot of Dexamethasone in the ears, as he has done before when the belief was that I had Ménière’s. Recent inner ear MRI scans and ongoing hearing checks have not proven that...

    Moving to London with Tinnitus — Access to Healthcare? Other Experiences?

    I am with UCLH as mentioned above, and it is pretty much just telling me to be strong and try to live my life as best I can despite tinnitus. They are being as helpful as they can, but my mindset is pretty stuck with how bad the tinnitus is. I am not sure what any ENT or Neurology can do...

    2 Years of Somatic Tinnitus with Neck and TMJ Involvement: Looking for Advice and Experiences

    Unfortunately, I had no luck with the Atlas Orthogonal. I had 10 adjustments. The chiropractor said my adjustments were not holding, which he determined was due to my uneven legs. He wanted to see me for at least 3 months. Each session was only 10 minutes long. I have been seeing a Functional...

    How are you doing? I have been experiencing something similar, it’s not painful but nerves are feeling kind of raw. Tinnitus is electric and fast-changing, every sound is mentally uncomfortable even though there’s no pain. I suspect temporary neuro-inflammation from overexposure. Maybe try...

    Can Overprotection Have Caused My Musical Tinnitus?

    Very slowly. Remember that the spike from your daughter whispering was nowhere near enough to cause actual damage. The spikes will fade with time and normal sound exposure. But yes, I know what it’s like. It’s not fun. But there is hope. It’s going to take time, though.

    A Difficult Week of Ear Pain, Ibuprofen Concern, and Worry about Hearing Loss

    Deep Brain Stimulation (DBS) for Tinnitus

    They figured out that they were sloppy with the electrode placement on patient 2, so their theory is that this caused the worsening. I’m going to wait for the results of a wider study before writing this off.

    Four Months Into a Wild Tinnitus Spike from... Stress and Sleep Issues?

    Hi @El BUZZ, from my own experience I know that an emotional factor plays a real role in the perception of tinnitus and in the ability to habituate. When I first got tinnitus 2.5 years ago, I became deeply depressed. I got better over time thanks to antidepressants, CBT, changing my reactions...

    Acousia Therapeutics

    If I understand correctly, their research is currently focused on preserving the hearing you have, improving clarity, and adding some decibels. Outer hair cells are responsible for clarity and can enhance sound by about 40 to 60 dB by targeting those cells. If it works, it will be administered...

    Severe Hyperacusis and Reactive Tinnitus: How to Treat & Cope?

    Hi @Paulie87, Clonazepam is well known to reduce tinnitus and hyperacusis for many. Diazepam only seems to reduce the anxiety. I woke up with mine screaming. When I went to bed it was much quieter and softer. @MindOverMatter, did you notice the same in a setback? Waking up with it screaming...

    Severe Hyperacusis and Reactive Tinnitus: How to Treat & Cope?

    So I saw my ENT today. As many have said, they don’t have a lot to add; however, he’s a neurotologist, so he’s at the top of the field. He no longer believes Meniere’s is playing a role in my case due to all tests being negative, with no hearing loss or hydrops on the MRI. He also added that...

    Severe Tinnitus and Hyperacusis After Roofing and Stereo Speaker Noise

    Hey there, @Pen Walker! How are you? It is great to hear from you and I hope you are doing fine. Yes, I saw an ENT and they did a hearing test, and it has not changed in the last 5 years. The cut in frequencies is still the same. Yes, I definitely have hyperacusis, and my tinnitus has gone from...

In my case, it took...
