Agreed on both points!

My tinnitus usually is a steady-state high tone. I can think of a couple other more erratic manifestations I've had that blessedly so far are...

I don't have deep knowledge here, but it's common for drug trials to work in mice and fail in humans. The two are highly similar--many successful...

Research subjects are now being recruited for this device in the Boston area (Mass., USA):...

You've had a tough road, best of luck to you and thanks for communicating what you can, when you can.

That's a fairly significant mistake! Good to hear, thanks for sharing.

Don't worry, they're not going to shut down the trial based on one possible NDA violation. Millions of dollars spent on drug development in...

Will you let someone else focus on what I said, and not what you imagined I said? The distinctions I'm drawing are not complicated.

To be clear, I am not saying that the preliminary, promising results of this drug were the result of a placebo effect, or that this particular...

If you would like to learn more about placebo effects and hearing, googling up some studies isn't difficult. Especially in relation to hearing aid...

Actually, they could, that's part of how the placebo effect works. And the online hearing-challenged and tinnitus community is small and connected...

I had never tried this before, but I get a very slight but definite reduction in volume by clenching my jaw. Certainly not something I could do...

It's a risk but it's not automatic. I needed an MRI to rule out acoustic neuroma last year. I did some research to find one of the quieter...

That's great, so thanks for looking into this and thanks to the others who learned of this and proposed it.

When I had my steroid injection to see if it would recover any of my hearing (nope), talking didn't come up--and while I might have said a word or...

Yes, although it was the second antibiotic I was given--as planned--and I can't remember what the first one was. FWIW I'd taken Azithro before...

Specifically in reference to this: If the theory is that tinnitus may improve by restoring hearing in the same frequency ranges as the tinnitus...

Many, you can count on it. I spend time at the Acoustic Guitar Forum and one popular thread currently has 52 comments and around 1,100 views.

Just jumping in here quick before I get to the end of the thread--in the U.S. it's very unusual for health insurance to cover all the cost of a...

Agreed. Having read the excerpt above, everything sounds like the same risk as the steroid injection I received in a failed attempt to restore...

I'm not sure if something is missing from the above--like maybe, you're talking about recovery after some type of damage. But I had one of these...

Amazing interview! Cannot thank the Tinnitus Talk Podcast team enough. This is just so impressive.

A lot of truth to this. E.g., from the web, The first name for penicillin was “mould juice.” Scottish bacteriologist Alexander Fleming...

@Hazel and company, I'm so very grateful that you persisted and saw this through. THANK YOU! As a Patreon supporter I want to encourage anyone...

I'd be interested in a more informed answer than what I'm about to share, but during the first four months or so when I experienced hearing loss...

Hey, I think I read somewhere in here your tinnitus recently increased significantly. Hang in there, and thanks for participating here, it's...

It's very hard to wait for something so long when it's so important, but there's no basis to say that at this time. Hang in there.

Dr. Cliff is a practicing, board-certified audiologist and an outstanding resource; his YouTube channel was a godsend when I started my hunt for...

This does't have much to do with the main point here, but there's a comment about how getting down to -20C for storage requires dry ice. That...

Totally understandable and 100% the right thing to do.

Late responding to this but I pretty much agree. He's a great resource but this isn't as complete as I'd expected. On the other hand he doesn't...

I'm jumping into the middle of this so pardon me if I'm missing a nuance, but I didn't have particular trouble getting an appointment with an ENT...

Major likelihood. I had hearing loss and tinnitus basically diagnosed at the same time. This followed my recovery from very severe walking...

If you look just a few posts up, you'll find my detailed post about trying the device; it did not ease my tinnitus, and fellow community member...

Total speculation but it could just be to update their knowledge after initiating coverage on Oct. 28 ("JPMorgan analyst Anupam Rama initiated...

Donated (several days ago, didn't really follow the thread here).

That's great! I would like to specifically mention here how patient and persistent the Tinnitus Talk team has been while struggling with multiple...

Wow I'll say! I posted it on my Facebook feed, signed the petition, and will donate. And I'm in the US (as I know many others who have or will...

I'm not a scientist or researcher but this sound like a breakthrough.

Thanks for going & updating us. This may be a good time for me to say I completely recovered from any feeling of slight nausea or dizziness...

I've had that injection done for a steroidal infusion (didn't help hearing loss, sometimes it does if done quickly enough), and not swallowing for...

I'm just so grateful for your persistence and enterprise. Thank you so much.

I participated in the current Otolith trial at a Washington, D.C. location today. Headline: It didn't help me, but the guy running the test said...

True, and my impression is that Frequency Therapeutics has been among the least interested, period, in interacting with Tinnitus Talk.

I didn't realize any such drug could fully reach the apex, that's amazing, and great!

The joke I encountered when I first acquired hearing loss and tinnitus loss was something like, "a cure is just 5-10 years away, and always has...

The key word "trends" is something @FGG was referencing and that I didn't catch, FYI, so I'll have to go back for that. I mean it makes sense...

I don't think so, though I'm planning to give the whole thing another listen. The speaker was talking about areas where improvements have already...

FWIW the exact quote from the stream is, “I think what they’ve clearly said was that, though this isn’t a life-threatening disease, it’s a...

Thanks to all who followed this presentation summarized it and discussed its implications. Appreciate it.

I'm sorry to hear of your now additional health challenge. I had never heard of NC headphones creating tinnitus but looking around I can at least...

I haven't looked closely at stats like these for years, but as I recall it's long been true that men as group "successfully" commit suicide at...

As noted the first S stands for sudden. Various online definitions refer to loss over "several days" and "up to three days."

This shows how it's so hard to draw lines--I think a calm respectful approach is most of the solution though. I've solved other medical problems...

JohnAdams, master of understatement lol.

That is awesome news! Thank you!

I hope this thread can continue to turn away from, for example, a Hate John Adams forum, not least because John is a fellow-sufferer along with...

Noooobody expects the Spanish Inquisition... Brits and Americans especially of a certain age may get that. I think lots of folks are on edge for...

Words are inadequate but I'm so very sorry to learn of this. God be with you Allan, and all your loved ones. Extra hugs for members of the...

I don't speak for Hazel or Tinnitus Talk, but as I recall there was a scheduling issue that prevented the initial recording from taking place. I...
