Treatment Prospects: Vagus Nerve Stimulation

This done in Stanford university and its promissing that it can eliminate the high pitch sound of out T

 

Five participants, all of whom were on medications for other problems, did not show significant changes. However, the four participants who benefited from the therapy were not using any medications. The report attributes drug interactions as blocking the effects of the VNS-tone therapy.

I am skeptical about this. Meds no meds, bla bla bla. We'll see when the real trials go thru.

 

At best, the statement by the scientist is only partially true.

 

Maybe it could be effective for some people but I'm more optimistic about am101 and autifony I believe.

 

I suppose the more treatments we have the more hope there is that smth will work us we will have different options then.

 

Trying to be positive but I think tinnitus is the hardest type of cancer to cure.

 

Deeeep brain stimulation looks promising tooo! Cant wait to see the results for that

 

Oh noo its the easiest!

 

Yeah you don't even need to cure it, mainly because you can't.

 

Some deaf people are cured these days.. Its amazing.. And thats what its gonna be like when T is cured.. There almost thereeee

 

Do you know any death people who have been cured?

 

"Death" would definitely be one, albeit, extreme cure - yes...

Deaf or death...?

 

hhaha deaf naturally

 

A second cousin of mine had a cochlear plant she was deaf since was born and now can hear in her right ear so its pretty crazy.. If you youtube deaf people hearing for the first time theres alot of there

 

Then again cochlear implants only work for some.. So i guess the rest would have to rely on regrowing hair cellssss but itsss commmming!!!!

 

Positive negative, forget these concepts on this topic. Be a realist. They can implant something to make deaf people hear, A new surgery is close to having blind people see like a camera does. Even if VNS works a bit...what does that mean? It means progress, it means more information. This condition is going to be cured in a decade. Just look at the facts

What to do? in this decade make it the healthiest decade of your life, so when the time comes you decrease the probability of failure. Maybe you might even need less meds. Become stronger. Thanks to Henry, ( yes I gave my T a name) this blasted sound reminds me not to skip on a workout, not to eat garbage more then once a week, and to be able to run 5K in 30 min. Not to sit still and suffer, but to stand up say Do you worst Henry, because I am going to do mine!

Run, Lift and Eat well, the rest will come

 

have you tried masking with different white noise, it really helps in the long run man. the first week I will not lie suicide enters your mind if you like it or not, but you Cant die from T, its just sound, you can Habituate eventually. Imagine if a a T sufferer committed suicide and a cure was made 4...6 years later..

I dont know if you already read this and what i read, the trials that they are doing in Belgium got positive result on their 10. Half of the participants demonstrated large decreases in their tinnitus symptoms, with three of them showing a 44-percent reduction in the impact of tinnitus on their daily lives.

 

I tried vagus nerve stimulation briefly with a portable device that attaches to your ear. I might try this again in the future with a proper attempt and a protocol with sound therapy at the same time.

 

Have you undergo to a surgery where they put some sort of wires in you vagus nerves?
How long have you used the vagus nerve stimulation and does't it make the sound of your T lower?

 

No, it was a small device, which you attach to your ear and then control electrical current. Here's a manual of the device I tried.

 

@Winterheart That did make me laugh.

When I was a kid I had a book called 'The Big Book of Amazing Facts'. It had pictures of things like white blood cells with swords going into battle with infections (also with swords). So I can see where you're coming from with the imagery.

 

Have had severe tinnitus for 14 years and the U of Iowa Hospital is a 30 minute drive for me. I have registered for the study.

 

I think I'm an anxiety prone person, and I have had anxiety issues over things unrelated to tinnitus in the past. I think that tinnitus is just the perfect thing for a person who is prone to anxiety to have their brain focus on.

Nice! I hope it works well for you. I live right over in Des Moines. I'd love to hear more about how it works for you.
