@Fields, that's a good find, along with Rinri Therapeutics, which uses stem cells to proliferate into auditory nerve cells. This is, though,...

I love reading some of your posts. One you made about tinnitus disappearing to the background when other issues arise. How true! My mental health...

It is hopefully successful.

I like your approach. The use of single treatments is outdated.

I have two friends who tapered off Diazepam after daily use. One had used 10 mg/day for 5-6 years and tapered down to 2 mg in 6 months. No issues...

I would like to see Jastreboff put in a care home and tagged.

It's bizarre prescribing, speaking as someone from the UK. Here, Mirtazapine is seen as one of the safest antidepressants. They prescribe it to...

Kind of depressing. I expect these conferences to get more exciting and not regress back into the 1980s. What is Pawel Jastreboff doing in...

I would avoid both hearing protection and loud venues. Stop going to bars and concerts, but also do not wear hearing protection in quiet—moderate...

I agree completely. Remember Science Daily and their headline 'breakthrough tinnitus treatment' of some silly fucking app? And Hearing Health...

There was some interesting general discussion on research quality and data collection and analysis. I agree with the sentiments expressed on...

Please see the comments from Dr. Will Sedley before getting involved with purchasing this: → Daily Mail: The headphones that could ease tinnitus...

What is important for people to realize is that, due to the half-life of medications, the withdrawal effects tend to kick in weeks or a month or...

To me that is uncomfortable to hear, but not painful.

Thanks for posting your experience. It was generally sad to read. These people are legalised scammers hiding in academia.

How on earth do you think that the volume of your snoring is causing inner ear damage? You will make it worse by depriving the auditory system of...

@TuxedoCat, excellent work! I would put a reminder when it comes to May 2024.

Besides Clonazepam, Gabapentin helps a little, and Cyclobenzaprine as well when I tried it. I've been using a cocktail approach.

Yes, checking behaviours and intrusive thoughts. Hence, I check PubMed every few days and post here. It seems to calm me. I also had and have...

I don't intend to upset anyone. If you take a medicine and develop tinnitus within days or a week, report it here and with regulatory authority....

Not really; I just check PubMed with OCD.

If it helps, an ENT at Harley Street prescribes Sertraline to tinnitus patients, + a study showed some success.

And Healthy Hearing, Facebook, and the American Tinnitus Association. All of which have contributed NOTHING to us!

Not just tinnitus-related. However, tinnitus is listed as something improved in long-term COVID-19 patients who took calcium channel blockers. →...

Yet another study on Vagus Nerve Stimulation. No improvement in humans. → Effectiveness of transcutaneous vagus nerve stimulation for the...

Benzos can sometimes cause tinnitus if abruptly stopped. Two benzos (Alprazolam & Clonazepam) reduce tinnitus in most people, but not all. The...

I've often thought about this. For each treatment thread, a pop-up reminder to enter your experience. We don't need a box for not having tried,...

Your situation is almost identical to mine. I also find Clonazepam lowers the tinnitus intensity and volume, although it can take 24 hours to...

Many researchers have compared tinnitus to chronic neuropathic pain.

I really cannot fault your proactivity. I'm very grateful, as are most of the Tinnitus Talk group. It's actually cleared up the differences...

Yes, the more I read, the more I think it's (tinnitus, hyperacusis, noxacusis) all pain based. I saw this today: Understanding Pain Signals...

I was looking over this recently. It's a small startup of two people. From Twitter conversations, they are looking for investors. In November...

Hey @mrpetrov. I got 7x 10 mg tablets from a friend in the USA. I tried them, and the next day my tinnitus seemed quieter. I wouldn't say they...

Matthew Carlson has already placed a device, which I guess is very similar, in 9 patients. My initial thoughts.

It's all in this thread. Basically it's a middle ear implant, that sits behind the mastoid bone and stimulates the cochlear. The patient has a...

@dj_newark, you wrote this in the "New University of Michigan Discovery — Signal Timing" thread. I have just reread it. Is this updated version...

In August 2021, the lead researcher said 10 years.

There is a new paper on stimulation parameters for this device, however not publicly accessible. → Evaluation of biocompatibility and...

The study concludes in December 2024 with results published sometime after that, so mid to late 2025. They enrolled 9 participants in the end. →...

This clinical trial was completed 4 months ago. Still no results.

Which one?

D) The benefit lasted only for a while.

SSRIs can make tinnitus worse in some, improve it in some, and have no change in the rest. All I'm saying is we must challenge posters, who in a...

There seems to be a general paranoia between ototoxic (hearing damage-inducing) medications and tinnitus. Very, very, very few medications cause...

Hi @Markku, good work. It's a good lead into what else is happening in tinnitus research, too, as Prof. McNaughton is involved with the hearing...

Throwing mud to see what sticks? In all fairness, I think it's a case of looking at the literature on somatosensory involvement and stimulating...

In a word, no. Best guess this time next year. 4-5 patients.

Gabapentin certainly didn't cause your tinnitus, as you already had it. It does not cause inner ear damage, which only a few drugs are known to...

It's something Dr. De Ridder often adds to his cocktail if the patient has somatic tinnitus.

→ Medscape UK: Is There Hope for People With Tinnitus?

I have thought this many times. The patient is their own control. Maybe you could put this to a researcher or clinician?

Medscape UK: Is There Hope for People With Tinnitus?

My audiologist loosely recommended Magnesium, with no real conviction. Like with all things tinnitus, a single supplement or medication rarely...

3% is ABSOLUTELY NOT SIGNIFICANT. There were more in Dr. Shore's trial that worsened. Worsening in such small numbers is subjective or just the...
