I had a microwick installed after reading this and replicated Renka's protocol with daily intratympanic Dexamethasone (10mg/mL solution) for 30...

Yeah if local Lidocaine has an effect, it is definitely going to be temporary. I had post-auricular Lidocaine injections done (injected directly...

Intravenous Lidocaine (dripped in through an IV, rather than locally injected) silences tinnitus for some people... not sure exactly how/why,...

I just stumbled on this thread regarding Pramipexole, trying to convince my doctor to prescribe it for a trial - but I wanted to corroborate your...

Two months now.

Godspeed. Agree the NAC could help mitigate damage if you were to try it again, especially for a longer period. I take 1.2g per day and have...

Hi Renka - I am replicating the same microwick protocol you did a few years ago based on your posts. Just had the microwick put in a couple days...

Actually got it done through a friend of a friend in Mexico who is not a stem cell doctor - but they sourced the stem cells from...

FYI, I have gone through the same process with StemCells21 and been presented with the same options. Prices are marginally negotiable - option 1...

Spot on. My understanding is that SSRIs are indeed not ototoxic but can trigger chronic tinnitus through the mechanism described in this post....

@ChiggyT, have you seen this post re: Nortriptyline? Don’t want to beat a dead horse but I strongly suspect Nortriptyline is behind your...

It was with a normal acupuncturist (American lady, trained in Chinese acupuncture) - but we did the exact same points around the ear in an attempt...

I had a unilateral SGB done (on my worse side) on the basis of that paper from China, with 5 days of acupuncture after it. The SGB was ultrasound...

I took Amitriptyline (another TCA) for 5 days before it triggered my tinnitus back in 2015. I had some headaches and whiplash injury prior to...

Don't believe the GP. Most are unfamiliar with tinnitus as a side effect of tricyclic antidepressants (mine refused to believe it as well). While...

Interesting to note that some people have seen benefit to their tinnitus from taking NAC by itself... though I've tried it at very high doses with...

Same boat as you (somatic tinnitus, no high frequency hearing loss). Pretty sure mine was triggered by 5 days of taking 10 mg Amitriptyline, which...

Fair warning - my experience is that Adam Fields is a quack who made my situation way, way worse with his "endo-nasal" cranial adjusting. He...

Same experience here. I was initially disappointed to not be able to participate but actually now thankful they did this kind of screening. Not...

Ela - I would refer you to this discussion re: Perampanel. Haven't had any experience with it myself. It is also an anti-convulsant but of a...

I totally feel you brother. Am definitely planning to try it but unfortunately won't be able until late summer / early fall when I have a chance...

I didn't unfortunately. Agree with you, would rather take the drug for life if it works, even if it means shaving some years off. Been following...

It can damage your liver, but as an uncommon side effect, not as a rule. Many chronic users of Flupirtine suffer no hepatotoxicity, while some...

Great question. I used to be under the same impression that auditory system damage is a prerequisite, and this still seems to be a common view...

Basically a real time MRI that lets them see which parts of the brain are more/less active over a period of time. So if your tinnitus fades away...

No real effect for me. But a good diagnostic tool. If it silences your tinnitus while you’re on it (which it has done for others), you know it’s...

Hey - the electrical stimulation trial was at UC Irvine. I had to fly out there. Same with the Nortriptyline / Topiramate trial. But I've done two...

Corroborates my experience with intravenous Ketamine. No impact on the tinnitus during the infusion, followed by a spike in tinnitus afterwards...

They are still working on it - trying to develop a device that can be used on ongoing basis. The results from the trans-tympanic stimulation are...

I participated in the acoustic and electrical stimulation study a couple years ago - interesting experience, would recommend to anyone who has...

DO NOT go to these quacks for "treatment." The nasal specific / cranial adjusting technique they describe is not safe -- I had it done from...

As another aside, unrelated to this thread, I think I should've added one more element to the original poll: neuroticism. Unclear exactly which...

Gotcha. Know for SSI claims they ask for evidence of hearing loss, which of course doesn’t show up in the slightest on audiograms for many of us,...

Did you file for STD, and if so what kind of evidence did they ask for? This has been an important open question for a long time, i.e. whether it...

Thanks for posting your experience with this. Great to know, and I only wish I would’ve heard it a bit sooner! Just got off a 10-day course of...

Makes sense, thanks for posting. As an aside — I wish deep brain stimulation was an option for us with a little bit more risk tolerance. Seems to...

Thanks for this post, interesting theory and helpful to compare experiences. FWIW, my tinnitus was mostly likely caused by stress and chronic...

Nearly 12 hours a night. Falling asleep is sometimes tough without maskers/white noise machines, but staying asleep has not been a problem....

TAKE PREDNISONE Another reply already mentioned it but it cannot be emphasized enough. Go get a high-dose course of prednisone from you GP as...

FYI for any interested - I went and paid up for the 1 week initial consultation and treatment a few months ago. Spiked my T, and it has remained...

For the record, I have tried lidocaine injections behind the ear with no effect on the tinnitus. I think it's just intravenous lidocaine that...

@billie48 that may be the most comprehensive list of contributing factors / potential causes I've ever seen. Thanks for compiling. @Cmp216 go get...

Hi Mr. Science, Hope you’re well. I have had severe tinnitus for a while that has just progressively gotten worse and want to pursue some...

Sorry to necropost... but seems like this is the official Brivaracetam thread. Haven't seen any actual reports of people trying it so though I...

Had a very similar experience with trying amitriptyline again a couple months ago. First day felt good, less intense, then second day was worse...

Appreciate the response, Chris, and agreed - after reading a bit more about the side effects, seems like Trobalt is indeed not worth the risk of...

Is there a particular pharmacy there that still has it in stock? Others have also mentioned finding it in Mexico and Dominican Republic, although...

Hi Tony, Appreciate your posts on the site re Retigabine. I was wondering if you could provide more color on where it is available? I have so far...

Fair warning to all those reading this thread. Five days into a 10 mg Amitriptyline script for sleep, first time ever taking it, my tinnitus...

Count your lucky stars. I used to be convinced (admittedly by fox news propaganda) that our healthcare was the best in the world.. that people in...

Hey man, just wanted to say you're a fucking hero for writing the stuff you do on this forum. Thanks, and please keep it up. My situation is sadly...

Hey! I read your post on success with Prednisone, and was wondering if it ended up having a lasting effect, and/or if the tinnitus came back? Am...
