    AdventHealth Research Institute Offers Phase II Clinical Trial of Etanercept for Treatment of Blast-Induced Tinnitus

    For what it’s worth, I signed up for more information about this trial and was promptly contacted by someone from the team to check if I qualified. At first, I thought it was only for veterans, but civilians are eligible as well. Unfortunately, I cannot participate because I am unable to travel...

    Lenire: Retrospective Chart Review Demonstrating Effectiveness of Bimodal Neuromodulation for Tinnitus Treatment in a Clinical Setting

    I’ll take the unpopular side of advocating for Lenire. It didn’t make my tinnitus quieter, but it has helped my mind deprioritize it. Before Lenire, it seemed like my tinnitus would get louder whenever I concentrated, had a conversation, or became interested in something. Shortly after starting...

    Injectable Polyplex-Loaded Glycol Chitosan Thermogel for Efficient and Safe Inner Ear Gene Delivery

    I cannot remember where I read this, but I heard that Spiral Therapeutics, a Bay Area company focused on drug delivery to the inner ear, had been buying up all the patents for the failed Frequency Therapeutics and Otonomy drugs. I have not been able to find that information again, so it may have...

    Perilymph Fistula

    Hey everyone, I had a PLF from SCUBA diving about six months ago and have had very bad tinnitus ever since. I am making my own spike-timed TENS unit based on Shore’s design to see if it helps. My tinnitus is somatic, but it also includes some beeping and high-pitched tones that are not somatic...

    For Those with Tinnitus After Sudden Hearing Loss, How Are You Coping?

    It’s definitely not a pure tone. Sometimes, a pure tone comes through for a few seconds, and it sounds about two octaves (maybe just one) above high C. But for the most part, it’s a high-pitched white noise. In the first month, it sounded like a fire alarm. By the second month, it had changed to...

    For Those with Tinnitus After Sudden Hearing Loss, How Are You Coping?

    I also suffered from sudden sensorineural hearing loss in October. I am getting along and improving slowly. I am using Lenire, and it helps mask my tinnitus really well. I also notice that my tinnitus fades from my awareness a few times a day, which never happened before I started using Lenire...

    ASMR's (Autonomous Sensory Meridian Response) Effect on Tinnitus

    I came here to see if anyone else has experienced the same thing. I've also found some relief from my tinnitus when listening to ASMR. I couldn't sleep for the first month after my tinnitus started (due to sudden hearing loss from inner ear barotrauma), but when I gave ASMR a try, it really...

    Suicidal

    Have you considered Paxil? It's an antidepressant that leans more toward anti-anxiety effects than stimulating effects, making it more calming overall. It's an SSRI with an anticholinergic component, which can help reduce essential tremor and may also calm tinnitus. I've been gradually...

    Suicidal

    @AnonymousMouse Hold up. Have you tried taking any anti anxiety or anti depressant meds? I know there are a lot of people on this forum that are against meds, but klonopin definitely reduces the loudness of tinnitus for a day or two. I'm going on three months since my T started after I had...

    My Journey to Tinnitus Habituation — Anxiety Was My Biggest Barrier

    Can I ask what anti-anxiety medications helped you?
