This is awesome news. If he is hearing any new sounds, then A. hairs cells are growing and B. There are nerves getting the signal to the brain....
I've been taking 600 mg per day for the past year now. I can't say it did anything for my T but it may be preventing further damage to what I have...
I know..those pics were just a gag..for laugh...not to be taken seriously. The serious part was the threads following those photos.
Just an update. I don't have *ANY* spikes now with the laser. Also, my T is very low. Probably a 3/10. It has been this way for a few weeks. I...
This one is a long...long way off. They don't even know how the retinoblastoma gene leads to regeneration. Seems like something for 50 years from...
7.5 mg is all you need for sleep. But keep vigilant because you get tolerance really fast on this poison. Even some folks found getting off 7.5...
Yes, you were on benzos longer than I was. But do not discount Remeron. I used it for years. I eventually got to 45 mg. Remeron caused me MORE...
Unfortunately, yes. I had to come off of Xanax once. Piece of cake. I did a taper but jumped off in a week's time. Mirtazapine is a whole...
Yes, the withdrawal is hell. You will get insomnia, anxiety, and...since it is a weak antihistamine on some receptors (H1 receptors), you will get...
Who would have thought you could put those two words in the same sentence. Wow! Well, like they say...if you don't use it...you lose it. I...
Remeron..AKA mirtazapine did not make my T worse. I took it a long time. Now, I did have hell getting off of it. It was as bad as any...
Have you looked into TMS? http://www.hopkinsmedicine.org/psychiatry/specialty_areas/brain_stimulation/tms/...
Yep...I used that brand too. A good company.
I've been taking NAC @ 600mg after 1 month of onset and it definitely helped my H but for T not so much...if at all. But my H was so bad I was...
830nm may be too long. Check some of the more expensive lasers and see what they are using. Like the famous Walden laser. Seems too low freq. As I...
It's not just strength...but wavelength. Putting any "IR" array or DIY laser together has to meet both power and wavelength...otherwise..you...
Didn't know that one either. It goes for 16 USD on a website I use for supplements. In liquid form. I might try that along with Lemon Balm.
Try Belsomra..Ambien is Z drug related to benzos. Belsomra acts on the orexin receptors and not gaba. Not that I would suggest taking it for over...
So much for stats...I'm almost 1.5 years and it's still going strong. I have times when it gets very low...but I guess I'm one of the unlucky 30%....
Yeah...I almost cracked about two weeks ago when it spiked and I thought I damaged my hair cells yet again. I thought it was going to stay at that...
Sure hope so. But keep in mind that drugs lose their effect over time as the body's tissue and liver adjust with enzymes and receptors. So let's...
That is a good point. But that has to be a case-by-case basis. Docs give benzos, sleeping pills, antidepressants...all without knowing the exact...
Hey buddy...you need a prescription from a doctor. You can't just buy it on the street corner next to the weed and crack. Some folks on this board...
I want to try other modes first (I just know what I read). I like my LLLT and supplements. I just said it was not *my* bag...it may work great for...
Ah...it was not in the doctor's corner profile (where it should have been!) but hidden in a thread....
No...I was patently clear I was talking about ENTs. Sorry you missed that. But I do find this interesting: In the corporate sector, between 2002...
Thanks, I got it was only one....a general surgeon as I posted above.
I didn't see anything that says you're an ENT. Am I assuming something wrong? It says you were a general surgeon....
FEW....which is why I was hoping one of the FEW would join the board. One would be enough. Maybe the US is a bad shot. There are ENTs all over the...
I wish I knew a MD that actually could treat tinnitus. That is why I am on this board. Because I can't find one (nothing to do with they don't...
I guess, I and many others, find this statement specious at best: "... is that no matter how much your doctor studies and no matter how wonderful...
While I am sad to read that, hacking should not stop a board. You harden your site with the right software and keep going. There are ways to do...
Invite some ENTs (you seem to know some from a practice co-located I believe). Invite some MD PhDs (medical scientists that are not just board...
I'm glad you had a good experience. I will keep that in mind if this gets worse again and I can't manage. Right now, I am trying to stay off all...
Good proof that some off-label stuff does work...even if there are side affects...it sure is better than hell. Most folks just have to go to a...
Well informed doctors give well informed directions that might lead a patient to a lower tinnitus outcome. The "bitching" comes form doctors not...
Perhaps yes. There are treatments (as you go on with TRT for example) and there are some drugs (off label) that seem to work for some folks. So I...
They have the doctor's corner but what I could suggest is the Researcher's Corner. Maybe Markku could bring that in. And meetups too (like...
I wish we could also get more research scientists to join. Or have a weekly blog on this site by scientists. That would give more credibility to...
The ATA (for the US) should also have a link to this site and work with folks here too.
I agree. This thread should not be "lying doctors" but "paying doctors".;)
Happy anniversary! In a few months, I'll have the same. Time to grab a beer and drink to a new sound of music. I pretend it is an electrical...
Yes, a computer system that patients, patient outcomes, and peer reviews, can be feed into a scoring system. Based on the score, you get paid....
Tinnitus suffers will naturally go to an ENT. So ENTs SHOULD be better trained (even if they are surgeons) in treatment options (there are some)....
Good God..and in the UK. In the US it tops at 200K for family practice (unless it is Beverly Hills or something).
Yes, but if you don't get "rich" as a programmer...and you are not a great coder, or are old, you may be out of work. But a doctor pretty much...
Absolutely. Bedside manner is nice to have. But competency, due diligence, and a good patient history is woefully lacking in many. Pharmacology is...
Oh...that's so they can collect $250 for the consultation to tell you that there is no cure. They speed away in a nice Mercedes to the golf...
LOL....I said the exact..almost verbatim thing after seeing one. They know of about 5 neurotransmitters in the brain and macro regions of the...
Yea...that sort of happened to me. I did not get corticosteroids when I had full blast T and SSNHL. The dip-shit doctor just told me it was stress...
How do I turn this sound off!?..There must be a switch somewhere...
How do I turn this sound off!?..There most be a nob somewhere...
Ambien is actually ototoxic and similar to a benzo. So like you said, it lost its effect. The withdrawal can be similar to a benzo so stay away...
There is a study at Harvard Medical School that low field magnetic stimulation (LFMS) may give immediate relief to depression. How it does that,...
yes..but valium. If you do get addicted, you may wish for T again...no I'm serious. Valium will not cure your T so it will continue in its...
I would go for Belsomra. Expensive as hell but safe to take for month at 20mg. It did not cause any increase in my T. It also has a calming affect...
Many moons ago, I took Xanax . After awaile, it actually induced insomnia. I was very relaxed but could not sleep. I tapered off at about a 10%...
It's not a cure but maybe an effective treatment to lower T. Probably something that will have to be taken long-term with hopefully tolerable...
Yes, maybe I could see somatic etiology but acoustic..not possible. But in behind the ear can be risky as there are nerves that can be damaged....
I'm not saying that a toxin in low doses administered by qualified medical professionals can't be a treatment. But I think for tinnitus, that is a...
