While there's always the possibility a supplement may help, it's unlikely. And you should always be careful taking supplements to begin with....

It's live. Their so-called "study" on their website is only accessible to people who have already paid for the product. 800 EUR for 10 USD worth...

Actually we do. Neuromod's Lenire may not work for everyone but it does work for most - to varying degrees - and even if it only lowers the...

Yeah, if anyone ever tries to tell you tinnitus isn't a real problem you can point them to this. I wonder if he was doing any treatment - meds -...

Huh, there's a lot of specifics to this trial. Inclusion Criteria: Must report constant, subjective, preferably unilateral tinnitus without any...

MRI horror stories? You mean actually getting a date for one or the actual scan itself? It's definitely claustrophobic. I'm a pretty big guy so...

Just popped into to say I received the same email today myself. Even though I'm in Toronto, I'd relocate to Windsor or even Ann Arbor itself for a...

Seeing as the half-life of most benzos is quite short, it wouldn't be a problem so long as you have a week to get them out of your system. Point...

You can make it. For most tinnitus is short lived in the range of several months. Lots of people here have been suffering for years and even...

The upside of Tinnitus Talk is there are a lot of smart people here who do the actual research to help understand these accursed conditions and...

The fact that the company was started because the Chairman himself is a sufferer is the sort of thing that always gives me hope. For people like...

Loss of neuroplasticity and tinnitus are inextricably linked. The creation of new neuroplastiticy helps - helps a lot of neurological issues, not...

I hate Apple - and it's not like I like Google much more - but if an Android version of the app ain't gonna happen - and it seems doubtful it will...

I picked Dr. Shore's work because I believe it holds the most promise as a single effective solution for tinnitus. However I still hold, and will...

Yep, at the very least he should be able to rule out a bunch of stuff. But he was pretty amazing IMO of finding the problem after a couple of...

There's an old Hebrew saying I always cherish in times like these, 'Say not in grief, 'She is no more!' But live in thankfulness that she was.'

The research is out there through PubMed and other medical research sources. I have neither the time, nor inclination, to chase it all down to...

It doesn't matter what the origin is. The condition itself is a neurological one, period. It's confusion in the brain that results in creating...

Hype train? No. Cautiously optimistic, yes. As I've stated on several occasions, tinnitus is a neurological condition that's generally predicated...

You know tinnitus has been around forever, right? It's not something new that popped up in the electronic age, or even the industrial age. Martin...

Scorn heaped upon those stupid enough to believe it is well deserved. Life is hard enough without people subscribing to insane ideals with no...

Heh, that actually had me thinking of the Spice Girls.

What do you really really want?!

The Pharmas are starting to finally clue into this. So it's in the better late than never category, but at least stuff is up and coming.

That's how my tinnitus is anyway. Seems to come and go - good and bad - in days or weeks at a time. It's generally a couple of good days followed...

Yeppers. I think it happens to most people if you live long enough. Also depends on how you live and what you do as well. I've had 3 near death...

Yeah, I'm agnostic. Is there a god(s)? Possibly, but in the same way we say 'Anything is possible' which means it's possible but very unlikely....

It's not really ear damage so much as neck and brain damage you need to worry about. Most people with tinnitus suffer from somatosensory tinnitus...

Too bad. I used to live in Vancouver and most of my friends still live there. Would have been happy to fly out and do that and say hi to the old...

Thanks for that list, Brightside. That's very encouraging. Hadn't really believed the chemistry route could be the way to go but it looks like I...

Pretty much. Your mind creates and abolishes neural pathways all the time. They only decay away into nothingness when your brain realizes it...

It's like everything else in this world, if you don't think it will help than it won't. You won't take it seriously, you won't make the required...

You can't "catch" tinnitus. You either have it or you don't. Meanwhile stay away from loud sounds/music... forever. Or suffer forever.

Well first off it really depends on whether your tinnitus is somatosensory or not. Then, whether it's reactive or not. It's not just a lack of...

Any chance we could get this thread or paper itself pinned on top of the PT forum. Thanks.

So do I. For a condition like mine where the PT is due to deteriorating bone in the inner ear canal we won't know until the tinnitus resolves. For...

I much prefer the term somatosensory tinnitus to somatic. Somatic tinnitus is a combination of hearing loss and/or damage and/or neck/spine...

That's where people need to get active and get political. I plan to get meetings with our federal and provincial ministers of health sometime in...

It's not trying to replace the lost frequencies, it's confused by the loss. Everyone loses their hearing - along with their eyesight and...

Neuromodulation is the future. Bank on it. Tinnitus, for most people, is predicated on the straw that broke the camel's back. You could have a few...

Like PT or just modifying my tinnitus? I definitely have somatosensory tinnitus so when I move my jaw or neck around - usually have to strain - it...

Needed to give this a bump for someone looking for it.

If you have pulsatile tinnitus, you should be seeing a neurologist to begin with, then a neurologist after that. A family doctor or an ENT is...

Dr. R practices at Toronto General Hospital. Another excellent neurotologist in Toronto is Dr. Maya Kurowia at Sunnybrook Hospital. If you're not...

This has been a well known phenomenon for decades now for people with somatosensory tinnitus. Go to PubMed and do a search for lidocaine and...

Hang in there kiddo. You know it waxes and wanes. Personally I'm really excited about Neuromod. I think this is a good way forward that's going...

First off, if it goes up and down then it's not raised permanently. That's reactive tinnitus in a nutshell. Your baseline can't keep going up....

Do you mean brain fog? Do you have any dizziness as well? You may have developed SSCD if that's the case - I have it. Go read up on Semi...

Go back to Emergency and tell them you're in serious distress and it's an emergency and you need to see an ENT immediately. If Emergency wants...

There's a type of tinnitus known as Typewriter Tinnitus you may want to look into. It's pretty rare - one or two people around here have had it....

Thanks to everyone for their hard work in putting this together so well. They're definitely coming at in the right way IMO so I'm sold. Anything...

The damnable thing is it can be caused by so many things. If you have a bone spur - osteophyte - impinging on a blood vessel in your neck that can...

Well I wasn't that far off, Greg. And I'd say that 15% really only applies to the first world with our loud cities, concerts, headphones, etc....

Thanks, Lane. Agreed 100%. Osteopathy. etc. There are all kinds of avenues to pursue here and I haven't heard you've pursued ANY of them apart...

Yeah, just go and and start reading medical papers on tinnitus. Those numbers aren't absolute fact but they're well substantiated and considered...

Always good to hear from someone with first hand experience with it. Thanks for that Markku.

Have you seen a Neurosurgeon? Severe neck instability is common cause of tinnitus and correcting the problem via surgery generally eliminates the...

Well there's your problem right there, Verne. Obsessing only makes it worse. The brain is pretty amazing but it also has some very deep flaws in...
