Clicking noise occurs after acoustic trauma but usually goes away over time from my own personal experience. That's likely due to ear...

Energyflare here. I think I had temporary visual snow when I developed tinnitus for the first time. However, I got full blown visuals from HPPD...

Most ENTs are completely clueless about this condition and have basic textbook knowledge of the condition. I once walked into an ENT clinic when...

Do you have any of the physical symptoms that usually come with VS?

Same story here. My visual snow started around the same time as tinnitus. Got worse two weeks ago which gave me symptoms of nausea and fatigue...

Yeah. I completely agree with that. They should be spending that money on research and cures for diseases not limited to just tinnitus. I wonder...

Don't believe so, most likely maladaptive plasticity the brain trying to fill up the gap in lost hearing due to sudden damage to hair cells by...

When I first got tinnitus I emailed Julian Cowan Hill directly explaining the history of my condition and asked him if a recovery was possible....

My advice is to get either prednisone or intratympanic demexathone injections ASAP. My idiotic ENT from onset decided to tell me that "there's no...

There are studies that show that PRP can help heal perforated eardrums: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/18954495 Was about to suggest the...

Are your eardrums still perforated?

I believe he is opening a clinic in Russia, not moving there.

Thanks, I don't think I will be going to Minbo's clinic due to how secretive he is in regards to his methodology. I do still however believe that...

Going in February, Since Ill be in Thailand anyway and it's a relatively short flight. Might go for 4 shots (2 trips) in total. Also, we had a...

Loud noise exposure in the past 2 days (rehearsal). Tinnitus near silence today which scares me, Didn't expect silence to be this scary.

That's strange since they've never charged me for all the voice calls I did with them.

Because for some of us tinnitus is distressing enough for us to pursue alternative treatments. At least we're not just sitting here doing nothing...

I'm from Bangkok and I have contacted their clinic over tinnitus, apparently, their patients usually need multiple treatments to get good results....

Probably because there are different etiologies behind tinnitus. But for many people tinnitus is caused by damage to the hair cells so surely...

Even then, I still don't understand how stress can cause tinnitus in people or how idiopathic tinnitus is a thing.

I really hope so. If tinnitus is the phantom limb syndrome of damaged hair cells then restoring that lost hearing should fix the nerve synapses...

I don't believe he does Skype calls but he certainly does do calls over Whatsapp for consultation purposes. Unfortunately I do not have Dr...

Do you think regrowing hair cells would stop this inflammation feedback?

True. That was one of the things I considered. PRP from the bone marrow is much better from a logical point of view.

I called up the clinic who transferred me to another guy who gave me his number. He has a Whatsapp so the call was made through there.

Do you have the link to that video?

So I've been in contact with this clinic the past couple days and they do specialise in PRP injections which is derived from a blood extraction...

How bad is your hearing loss?

No I believe he means 3-6 injections. Usually he administers 12 per treatment. He used to do 3-6 injections. However, that dose seems to have...

I was quoted $9000. Is that the quote he gave you?

Don't forget, @GlennAz wasn't exactly the best candidate since he has had hearing loss and tinnitus for multiple decades.

How many months did it take after the PRP injections to experience your first period of silence?

Hang in there, The first month might be rough judging from what John Adams has mentioned.

Minbo does seem to have this paper published in case anyone is interested in reading it. http://www.freepatentsonline.com/y2017/0056447.html

Hey how is your PT now?

It's still there slightly, about 95% gone.

Did they ever get back to you?

These flare ups happen 1/10 days right? I remember you mentioned something about that.

How much did you pay?

Out of curiosity, where did you get that information from?

Miracle implying doesn't usually happen or happens?

Keep us updated! I'll most likely make a trip sometime this coming November or February next year.

That article seems to state that the brain doesn't automatically calibrate the new hair cells by itself. However, I remember reading somewhere...

It's most definitely not live.

Regarding that, I've decided to postpone going to Seoul until around late October or November to see whether my tinnitus would improve by itself...

Just wondering for smart people on this thread, for those of us who developed visual snow after getting tinnitus from an acroustic trauma or...

Thanks for your concerns. You're absolutely right about that but in his defense that website is more of a personal blog. His corporate/clinic...

He asked for a regular bank deposit or a wire to his account.

JohnAdams's improvements are fake?

Thanks but I've tried many things since the onset of my tinnitus and it only seemed to get worse. I've tried LLLT, magnesium, niacel,...

Injected through the ear.

Update: I'm starting this treatment on September 1st and will be spending two weeks in Seoul. I understand that this might not be a complete...

Nope my tinnitus isn't somatic. I can hear it louder when I yawn or bite something really hard.

Yep, eat steak and organ meats while you're at it

I've done a couple audiometries and none of them show any hearing loss which suggests that I may have hidden hearing loss. My tinnitus was...

Yeah so the improvements in my opinion are significant enough and worth trying out. I'm likely starting his treatment this coming Sunday or next...

And how about your hyperacusis?

Even when it comes back is it quieter than before? I'm aware that there are no guarantees of a cure or even an improvement but seeing that you've...

How's your tinnitus nowadays, just wondering? I just had a phone call with Dr. Shim Minbo 10 minutes ago and he seems very earnest to help. I...
