What I'd be interested to know is, what inspires these various doctors to utilise a specific technology to treat tinnitus? Do they wake up one...
I personally think it's very relevant. There's a lot written on these forums from a few years back regarding the jab rollout and uptake. I was...
Looking very dapper there E, with cane and mead :--)
Very nice looking piece of vintage kit. The closest I've ever seen to something similar is in the Algerian coffee shops in London but most of...
We're good, E. I hope you and the missus are fine too. Not much else going on. Waiting for the sun to arrive!
No, you're not imagining it. The long-term tinnitus brain can be a curious reactionary thing susceptible to all manner of changes in input. For...
I hope things are on the mend, D. Keep the faith.
It appears there was essentially two issues: Control in T1/S2 seems to adversely affect T2/S2 Active T1/S2 seems to affect Control of T2/S2 after...
Nope, you're not being thick. I was baffled by that chart the moment I saw it. Seeing it again only compounds that. The control in Treatment 1...
I'd almost forgotten that charity even exists to be honest. There may be friction between Lynne Gillon and the recent CEOs but any moves made...
It's almost a self-fulfilling prophecy. Point of care inform the patient they'll get used to tinnitus. The public are indifferent to what is...
I know this is slightly off-topic but that's an interesting point. When listening to podcasts (especially those with multiple participants), I've...
I do understand that and yes I would agree if we were picking at a couple of minor points, but an entire arm of a clinical trial has been...
Again this doesn't answer the, no tinnitus treatment for <12 weeks entry criteria question. I can't put words into their mouths but it seems to...
I'm not so sure I agree with this. I believe the crossover was invalidated due to the contradiction in what they considered a treatment-free...
Hi E, how you doing? I'm still here, been dipping in and out. Got quite a bit going on and trying to keep busy and distracted. How's that log...
Dear friends, I have written a layman's paper regarding the above. I was originally going to upload it as a post but once it started to run at...
I always look forward to your updates, mate. You've certainly got a better handle than I have on how all these trials and data fit together....
I remember reading an article or study last year I think that mentioned the higher volume of grey matter in tinnitus sufferers. I can't remember...
Roger that :) Did you listen to it yet? Thanks @Markku and @Hazel - interesting stuff. Dunno... it's nice to hear from Dr. Rauschecker but it...

@Utdmad89, ah right, a troll with fuck all to contribute except the funny button. [ATTACH] A change in the action potentials that trigger a...
I read that study you're referring to and yes, I believe the upstream effects of auditory nerve damage could play an important role. My problem...
Hi @HomeoHebbian, and thanks for your input. I just wanted to address the comments above. As you'll notice from my profile I've experienced...
Touché @tpj, touché :D Had a good day too, thanks, despite the ever-present screeching and sensitivity. I think the worst of it was brought on by...
Well, y'know me @tpj, always enjoyed forming part of the rear guard :D How was your xmas? Hope you had a merry and relatively quiet one...
Merry Xmas tinnitus friends x
Anyone else feel like a new frontier is finally opening?
Thanks for this. Should be an interesting read!
I've just got to say @Olly132 that what you're doing here by updating your journey is providing amazing data along the way. I would also say it's...
There was a chap who posted here recently that I meant to converse with because his story was so curious. His tinnitus (that is chronic if I...
The model definitely outlines a description for intermittent tinnitus. Up until now though I've only really considered activation of the upstream...
I've been working on a hypothesis that the output of the (thalamic) gating mechanism is actually a control signal (voltage) for an upstream neural...
I had a couple of hours spare last night and read the study. Aside from perhaps some interesting and seemingly new ways of measuring signal waves...
That's not really the point I was making, but yes there is research into nerve damage or so-called 'hidden hearing loss' as a causal factor....
I'd like to put it on the record that my post regarding the conversation I had with a guy who took Amitriptyline was in no way meant to promote...
Genuine question. If a person reports hearing phantom voices in their head, why doesn't their GP refer them to audiology?
The day science can answer that question will be a real breakthrough.
Got talking with a customer today who told me he's got Ménière's. When I asked him if he suffered with tinnitus as well, his face scrunched up...
It is a truly bizarre condition and who knows what the hell's going on but to be honest, whatever it is you've done to get the ringing down to...
How have you been getting on with the OTOs? I've been using those Hearprotek with changeable filters and they've been a life-saver with stuff like...
You're a good bloke, E, and enjoy Denmark, sounds like a trip worth taking. FWIW, I recently survived a return 3-hour flight. Musician's earplugs...
@Elmer B Fuddled, here you go, E, just installed the new log burner. [ATTACH]
What I find intriguing about schizophrenia is its similarity to tinnitus where auditory hallucinations are concerned. It seems to me that related...
I think another issue with tinnitus research where there's an absence of objective measurement for the condition is that it also appears to have...
I'd be a lot more excited about this tech if they trialled it on schizophrenia patients as well as epilepsy.
If I recall correctly, she used a piece of software called TinnTester (or something like that). I tried to find out more information about that at...
Had some excellent days/weeks. Prior, real scuzzy ones. The swings seem more extreme but at least that means the good gets better :-)
Lol. You should have been around here during the COVID-19 jab debate.
Thanks for this. The past couple of years I've been working and re-working a layman's model about what I believe tinnitus might be. Many of the...
Yes, I've experienced this on a number of occasions. I correlated it happening with illness; for me it was during a heavy cold type of situation....
I'm still really intrigued by this line of research for a number of reasons; the channels (potassium) and gating being the central ones though...
It really is horrible. I've been scratching my head wondering why anyone would do that. One thing's for sure though, I don't believe for a minute...
Hi Tina, I'm very sorry to read your post. I know how difficult managing elevated tinnitus can be, especially for those of us whom had already...
Thank you for this post. I've been experiencing ridiculous levels of reactivity, ear sensitivity and tinnitus volume this past few weeks. The...
I don't know if you were aware or not, but that lower picture you mention is one I took. Here's another below snapped from the B6318 while leaving...
I would like to chime in here. I can say that alcohol definitely reduces my tinnitus temporarily. Whether that's an effect of the alcohol itself...
It is, D. I spent last night trying to find a suitable word to describe this act and just kept returning to that one: evil. That was my immediate...
You know me, E, I don't like to come here and complain when the tinnitus and hyperacusis are at searing levels (as they have been for the past 3...
