    AM-101 Clinical Trial — Participants Updates and Discussion

    Interesting because after the first injection in each ear I was given the option of going without any numbing agent. So they just went in with the needle without any numbing, suction, etc. They said they are only required to use the numbing agent for the very first injection and after that it's...

    Does anybody know if they do a urine drug test for round 2 of injections? They do in round 1.

    AM-101 Clinical Trial — Participants Updates and Discussion

    Ya a little worried. I just am sick of dealing with issues of my ears. I can control my tensor tympani muscle voluntarily and was fluttering it the other night to see if this had any effect on my tinnitus(was frustrated and looking for anything to help). I read that when this muscle tenses it...

    So went for my first check up. Everything was normal except when they did my tympanometry test before the hearing test the audiologist said my ear drums were more floppy and mobile then before. Wtf? Anybody have this happen? I did clear my ears more the last week but just gently and not by...

    Day 4 after injections. T is still louder then baseline. The sound is more high pitched and sharper then before injections. It's more piercing. Did anybody get a change in the tone along with a volume change? When the volume went back to baseline did the new tone change? Don't like this new ring...

    AM-101 Clinical Trial — Participants Updates and Discussion

    So guys my ears were popping like mad last night. The hearing in my left ear has a bit of a metallic sheen to it and my T is higher then pre-injection. The one thing that worries me a bit is that pre injection I had done one of those online high frequency hearing tests and could hear up to 16K...

    AM-101 Clinical Trial — Participants Updates and Discussion

    Did a bit of yoga tonight. Lay down in corpse pose at the end and my ears started crackling, bubbling, and fizzing as the stuff in my ears seems to be loosening or dissipating somehow. Felt great. The pressure is going and my hearing is coming back stronger. T is ok. Feels maybe a little quieter...

    AM-101 Clinical Trial — Participants Updates and Discussion

    3 months. So I'll be 5 months in at the time. Will definitely do Round 2. Round 1 was a breeze. Was expecting worse from a few horror stories here.

    AM-101 Clinical Trial — Participants Updates and Discussion

    I've had it for about 8 weeks at the start of injections. They didn't tell me. I didn't really ask. I heard from people online who got relief that it can take quite awhile. I don't know of anyone that had complete relief but there are people in this thread who have had relief aswell as some...

    AM-101 Clinical Trial — Participants Updates and Discussion

    Two days after final injection. Tinnitus isn't that loud. I was expecting the post injection spike to be much worse. No pain in the ears. Both ears still feel a bit full but nothing major. Hearing seems ok but a little muffled from the fullness. So far so good.

    AM-101 Clinical Trial — Participants Updates and Discussion

    Yes some people on here and on reddit have had positive results. Not totally gone but much much lower tinnitus then before. AM-101 is currently being tested on people with tinnitus of 3 months or less. Some of the trials have included people with up to 6 months or longer. Hard to say for sure at...

    Depression/Anxiety Over Losing Live Music

    You're definitely right. I wasn't careful enough. Ya beating myself up about it has been hard. I keep reminded myself of how life could be different right now if I had just made a different decision. I know it's a waste of time to fantasize about this but damn it's hard not to.

    Depression/Anxiety Over Losing Live Music

    Funny enough I'm pretty conscious not to go hang out by speakers or even pass by them for a moment. Like I said I'm fairly cautious. What eats at me as well is that I was aware of ear protection and had been meaning to pick up some ear plugs. I just never realized it could be so instantaneous...

    AM-101 Clinical Trial — Participants Updates and Discussion

    Had my 3rd and final injections yesterday morning. Right ear had already closed again after 1 day. Left ear had a bit of blood crust on it. Nothing major. Once again I didn't bother with any numbing agent. The pain was a little more then the last 2 times as my ears were a little sore. Regardless...

    Depression/Anxiety Over Losing Live Music

    I hear ya. That's why I make this post. The fear of worse T is definitely a factor. I sound less cautious then I actually am. Also it happened not from just one night out but a weekend of abuse. Friday,saturday, and sunday of loud music with no protection. Sunday night I went to a spot I...

    Depression/Anxiety Over Losing Live Music

    Thanks. I do plan on giving my ears more time to recover before exposing them again. I do have other hobbies too. Muay thai is another big hobby of mine. Getting hit in the head haha. I guess I'm not choosing the right hobbies with T. I actually just got AM-101 injections the other day. Fingers...

    Depression/Anxiety Over Losing Live Music

    Ok here is a brief history. 2 months of T caused of too much loud music in one weekend. I would consider it mild to moderate. 3/10 but can spike up to a 5. All my hearing tests have been normal with no lose up to 8k. With those online high frequency tests I can hear up to 16k. My left ear has...

    AM-101 Clinical Trial — Participants Updates and Discussion

    I think it can take up to 3 months to work so 3 weeks is still fairly early. Also even if you did get the placebo you still ofcourse have the guaranteed option of the real drug in a few months. Keep your hopes high!

    AM-101 Clinical Trial — Participants Updates and Discussion

    Ok guys I got my second set of injections this afternoon. The holes from the eardrums had already healed after just a couple days. They gave me the option of doing it without using a numbing agent and I decided to go this route as I didn't like the suction process to remove the excess numbing...

    AM-101 Clinical Trial — Participants Updates and Discussion

    Nah I'm just kidding. I'm feeling pretty good actually. I'm just relieved from the stress of whether to go through with it or not. The clock was ticking and I kept flip flopping on if I should or not. Whatever happens now happens.

    AM-101 Clinical Trial — Participants Updates and Discussion

    So I guys I went ahead with it. Just got home a little while ago from my first set of injections. Decided screw it and did both ears. Wasn't that bad at all. It wasn't comfortable by any means but the pain was minimal. The pain from the suction they use to remove the numbing agent might even...

    AM-101 Clinical Trial — Participants Updates and Discussion

    Yup I had noise induced T in my left ear but my right was perfect. Yanked my right silicon earplug out too quick and heard a loud pop from the seal breaking. As soon as it happened I got a loud 5 second ring in that ear. The ring went away but then I had a slight hiss in the ear with faint morse...

    AM-101 Clinical Trial — Participants Updates and Discussion

    Thanks this has given me some more motivation to go through with it. In regards to the syringing. I was referring to the auction they use to get rid of the numbing agent. Does this pose any potential risk? I took some NAC this morning. Could this have any effect on the injections? I wonder. My...

    AM-101 Clinical Trial — Participants Updates and Discussion

    So this is my first post on the forum. I'm sitting in the doctors office awaiting my second screening before the first injections(injections will start today) I'm having some second thoughts. Unsure what to do and the clock is ticking. 2 months ago I got it from a loud concert. My tinnitus...
