@L along the way - hello!!! How are you doing? If ever anyone sees me back here … it’s a sign I am much worse. My God am i progressing. I have not been able to talk due to pain for over a year. I’m also in the best shape of my life because I bike 26 km a day. It’s saving me and killing me at the...

They didn't send their best nor brightest.

I’m about eight months into tinnitus. I’ve gotten through the scary nights and now sleep well using background rain sounds and conscious breathing. However, last night the tinnitus was louder than it has been in a long time, and it kept me awake. I got up to go to the toilet and ended up...

Good luck with everything, Eric. I am dreading my upcoming dentist visit since developing severe hyperacusis last May. I managed to find a laser dentist, but I doubt they also use an electric drill. I probably will not be that lucky. Just like you, I do not know whether to wear earplugs...

One evening in loud place with earplugs, and now it's been 1,5 months of hell. I was basically cured already. What a stupid thing to do.

I have had tinnitus and hyperacusis for six years. It took me four years to feel normal again. Then I made the mistake of going into a bar and a club, even though I was wearing earplugs, and my condition became much worse. Only now do I realize that I was basically free from tinnitus and...

There is a risk that some people will mistakenly associate the perceived dangers of online pure tone generators with hearing tests performed by audiologists. Some individuals may argue that if you have hearing loss, tinnitus, or hyperacusis—or even if you only suspect you do, or if you do not...

@SouthBound, what are the side effects of these injections?

"The National Guard and Marines are now in Los Angeles to allow ICE agents to do their job and be safe from danger" LOL, how can anyone make such a crazy statement? The entire country is reeling from this man—Trump—who, in my view, is not only deeply unfit for leadership but also dangerously...

I am not sure. I know Dr. Jeffrey Michael Karp is working on it. It sounds like he is collaborating with others.

Hi @Tony Joy, I am in the same situation you were in. Did you find any non-ototoxic alternatives to Atorvastatin and Bisoprolol that do not worsen tinnitus? I would really appreciate a response from someone.

I don’t think that’s a given, at least based on my experience. I was very unsettled by the ear fullness when I first developed tinnitus. However, it will change over time, so try not to worry. Many factors can influence it—stress, flying (often due to changes in air pressure), a salty diet...

Hi @Kam75, @L along the way mentioned food as medicine. I am very much into this, and I am hoping it can help. One of my fields of research and study is isoflavones. Isoflavones promote sleep and very likely support neural plasticity. Neural plasticity is also closely related to the gut-brain...

@ErikaS, the studies on treating PTSD are stronger than for any other condition. I have used this treatment with patients who have PTSD for the past 12 years. It does not work for everyone, but the results are usually remarkable. From my perspective as a pain specialist who is also certified in...

In the early 90's stellate ganglion blocks were only done under X-ray (fluoroscopy), which were less accurate and less safe. While some docs still use X-ray guidance, most have moved to the superior guidance of ultrasound. There is still risk, but it is much, much less.

We have a phrase in medicine "nothing ruins good results like long-term follow-up", so I agree about the 6 days. Most used of stellate ganglion block are not approved by insurance companies, so the biggest challenge is finding someone with the skill set, more than a willingness to try it Just...

They do not state in the abstract what was the standard for improvement. It may have been set pretty low if the placebo group had an 84% response rate. Typical placebo response rate in studies ranges from 40-55%, so this is high. All we can say is the magnitude of change from the procedure.

My mom and I have had chronic tinnitus for over 14 years, ever since we were infected with Coxsackie B. We also experience numerous other symptoms, including chronic fatigue, episodes of diarrhea alternating with constipation, flu-like symptoms, and many others listed on the Enterovirus...

Actually had an acoustic reflex test performed during the tympanometry test that I was not informed of. "Informed consent". Went up to 95db. New, high-pitched electrical current noise.

Tinnitus is getting louder and louder every day. Every time I think it cannot become any louder, it does. It is crazy that the mind can create this on its own. Still, I am certain that my burnout, exhaustion, and anxiety cause the same type of damage to the ear as noise exposure. Multiple...

But do they still exist? I thought they had closed down completely after the failure of FX-322.

The AI has already done it and will do it again.

So far, AI is increasingly being used for protein folding and function prediction (such as Google AlphaFold), the generation of new molecules, the discovery of new materials, and automated scientific research in AI (such as Sakana AI and Google AlphaEvolve). One could say that current large...
