I’m sorry to learn this was not successful for you. Since we all have different causes for our tinnitus there’s never going to be one cure that...

Yes that’s true it is a synthetic version of a natural hormone. It’s given intravenously to induce and control labor, usually the IV remains in...

I know everyone is eager for an answer but people, if this could be purchased from Walmart and worked, then NYU would not have spent $$$$ on...

Pitocin is a drug used to induce labor. Oxytocin is a hormone that helps a new mother’s milk flow. Two different things altogether.

@hears4fears, I’m still taking the same regimen that I outlined a few posts above, it’s working great for me. I only take the Taurine if I’ve...

Yes indeed and there are at least 100 products that contain glutamate in high enough doses to trigger a spike. Peas, grapes, beans, nuts, citric...

I had the same reaction. Screaming head for 24 hours. I was hoping the Curcumin (Turmeric) would be a good substitute for NSAIDs for my knee joint...

@ploughna, are you still doing the Oxytocin Rx? Would love to hear an update from you. My tinnitus is like yours, very unpredictable. Mine is...

To anyone who is thinking about giving this a try, I want to remind you that it will not work if you are ALSO not consuming any foods or...

@Uklawyer, yes that’s correct.

My results stay positive except when I veer off into dangerous territory by consuming foods that contain a lot of Glutamine or Aspartate. That...

@Uklawyer, today I don’t even hear it at all, actually!

Btw don’t confuse a holistic doctor with a naturopath. A holistic doctor is an MD who looks more for the cause of the problem, still uses medical...

@Uklawyer, yes I am still taking the amino acids and being very careful to maintain a low free glutamate diet and my tinnitus is only loud when I...

Did you try it? What results did you get?

@ploughna, being even a little improved sounds wonderful to me! Do you have any idea when the report from the study is going to be made available...

@ploughna, are you still participating in the Oxytocin study? I’m feverishly awaiting any news from that study that you can share!

They are able to change their tinnitus sound by applying pressure to their heads or clenching their jaws. This is disconcerting to me as I...

In Dr. Shore's clinical trials there was great success. Some people actually had their tinnitus go away completely and the others had much quieter...

I’ve read in more than one place that the volunteers were all chosen because they have the ability to alter the sound of their tinnitus by putting...

@DebInAustralia, I wonder if anyone has even a clue what they mean by commercialization? Clinics where we go for treatment? Devices for home use?...

Oh Deb, that is awesome news! Keep us updated please!

It’s amino acids, not vitamins. My holistic integrative medicine doctor said it’s good for me to take them every day from now on. This is based on...

I read somewhere that their next clinical trial was delayed by COVID-19 but has now begun with report out in late fall.

@twa, you got it! My doctor says the Memantine might help because it’s a drug that is used for Alzheimer’s patients, and this NMDA dysfunction is...

Just found this quote: Noise can cause excitotoxic trauma to cochlear synapses by triggering excessive release of the neurotransmitter glutamate...

I’ve done a great deal of research (doing literature research was part of my career job) and I don’t remember where I read this but a noise trauma...

Yes, except I quit taking the L-Carnitine. It seemed to cause a little spike rather than doing the opposite. I also take L-Theanine, 200 mg 2x...

Puritans Pride. I get all my supplements from them, they only sell online but prices are lower because no middleman. I researched them and trust...

Wow that’s awesome news! Yes I think the spray you’re using is nothing like what some have ordered from online sellers which is why they never got...

Okay I’ve been doing this for 3 weeks and it is really making a huge difference. I have 2 kinds of tinnitus: one is a sort of buzzing noise, which...

I’ve researched this further, since the Oxytocin lozenges I tried didn’t do anything. I learned that Oxytocin does not pass through the brain...

Hey @Conan156, I’ve been trying your 10-day regimen and it actually seems to be doing something amazing. I have had tinnitus for 6 years and when...

I had my first vaccine (Pfizer) shot yesterday afternoon. By late last night I was noticing a significant tinnitus spike starting and when I woke...

The latest news on Dr Shore’s progress towards rolling out this device to the public. She has secured global patents, and plans are moving forward...

I checked out the link! That’s exactly what I was looking for... but it says it’s for research use only, do you think an individual can purchase...

Hi Deb, I think the use here would have been considered pediatric and not obstetric since the Rx would come from a pediatrician. It was used to...

It depends on what you have. Is it a Rx and has it been refrigerated? If not, it probably is heavily diluted and that means it’s not what they are...

I’ve been in touch with a doctor who agreed to prescribe oxytocin nasal spray for me to try it out. She knows I have a chain saw running full...

Actually, it definitely does in my experience (blush).

Has anyone seen any info on how Dr. Shore's treatment will be offered? I read somewhere that she hopes “eventually” to offer home-usage devices...

Not a word of information or encouragement. Just sat across the room messing with his laptop. “Wellllll. You have tinnitus. Nothing can be done...

I heard a rumor that Dr. Shore and one of her colleagues have filed for a patent on this device so that makes me think at least SOMEbody has a lot...

I wish the ENT I went to had been even remotely informed of anything about tinnitus and had at least one empathetic cell in his body. He was...

I’m not familiar with the brands but I am a retired postpartum doula and the Rx kind of oxytocin was very effective for the new mothers who used...

Clinical trial on Oxytocin as tinnitus treatment, in NY state: https://clinicaltrials.gov/ct2/show/NCT04210310

Btw lots of foods are high in magnesium: yogurt, almonds, cashews, peanuts, sunflower seeds, Brazil nuts, bananas. Dark Chocolate!!! And no spikes.

@Robert18 how are you doing? Did your spike go back down? I've had spikes that scared me half to death, so I sympathize. But they go back down...

Looking for a doctor of any kind in Raleigh Durham Chapel Hill NC who understands tinnitus. Bonus points if s/he has it too.

Flonase seemed to spike my tinnitus. Stopped using it for that reason.

Hi all, got excited about this and started looking into the various ways to get some meclizine but every kind I found contains either aspartame...

That's great! It should be all out of your system soon. It's too bad we have to choose which of our disorders to deal with in order not to...

I think most people don't know what caused their tinnitus except maybe a few who have defining events in their lives like explosions or rock...

Yes also Synthroid which is ototoxic for some and is for me. But I was exposed to some loud noise about the same time too. So I think it was a...
