I haven't even seen them.Would you consider posting pictures of your scars
It has, the duration is less. I had one about an hour ago that lasted like 2 seconds.Just to clarify, your fleeting tinnitus has not fluctuated at all post Shim therapy?

Yes. The fleeting tinnitus pitch is the same or nearly the same as my base tinnitus tones around 6.5 khz.@JohnAdams,
You have experienced fleeting tinnitus for a long time, it becoming shorter is the opposite of what I have experienced with healing. Although, in the very high frequencies, I have noticed some shorter occurrences; fleeting, fleeting tinnitus. I wonder in which register you are experiencing these sensations, and if they correlate to areas effected by damage and/or healing?
Every time I experience fleeting tinnitus, it correlates with a subtly improved perception of audible texture. Since this is obviously entirely subjective, do you notice any such correlation?
No because they are right over my butt and I cant see that part of my body without looking in the mirror, which I havent. My wife took the stitches out for me. There were separate entry holes, because there were 6 stitches. Yes he numbed the extraction site but it still hurt going into the bone. When the procedure was happening I was always laying on my stomach and never saw anything.You have not seen your scars or wounds because they are layered in dressings?
For PRP studies, no treatment is a control group. The audiogram is your measure of success. Search PubMed for PRP, it's most popular for osteoarthritis, cartilage damages, tendons and ligaments at the moment.I doubt PRP for tinnitus or hearing loss ever gets to the FDA clinical trial phase. There would need to be a control group at some point that receives a placebo. Is it really safe to inject someone's eardrum with saline multiple times? Who is going to sign up for that?
If so there is no indication of it.Is anyone actually doing PRP injections into the ear as a study?
Well, I'm 2 weeks into my recovery so we will see.Totally. Well, all my favourite athletes are getting this done to their knees and other bodyparts... why not the ear?

The biggest reason is that PRP has the highest rate of success in boosting areas that have a natural response for repair. I.E. our knee cartilage CAN heal (but usually doesn't that well). A torn ligament CAN repair (but usually not very well). I'm not saying it won't repair the ear...just that there is a lot of low hanging fruit for PRP at the moment.Totally. Well, all my favourite athletes are getting this done to their knees and other bodyparts... why not the ear? There must be some sort of logical reason why not.
It's also been shown to cure anosmia.The biggest reason is that PRP has the highest rate of success in boosting areas that have a natural response for repair.

They have just started:Sure. I'm just wondering why it seems (and correct me if I'm wrong here, people) nobody is doing it in the ear.

Doing what?Going to have to wait until I get home to read. Why oh why are we not doing this in large numbers?![]()
I dont know. That's also not the whole study.PRP, bruv. OK, off to read this study now.![]()
I'll consider it. I just took a picture and they aren't even totally healed up yet. May I ask why you are so interested?@JohnAdams,
Maybe you would consider getting your wife to take a picture of your puncture wounds and then upload it?
Take a picture of your ass... for science!@JohnAdams,

Let me try to answer this without pictures of anyone's ass. I'm an operating room nurse. I've participated in hundreds of iliac crest bone marrow aspirations. We do ours with a Jamshidi needle. It's a large hollow needle that's driven into the bone. Google it, there will be plenty of pictures. Once placed the stylet is removed and a syringe is used to aspirate the marrow. There are no large incisions. It's basically a puncture wound. John probably had a single nylon stitch to close each one. These are no significant scars. There is an infection risk as there is with all invasive procedures. There will be discomfort afterward.@JohnAdams,
