    Will You Get Vaccinated for Coronavirus (COVID-19)? Can It Make Tinnitus or Hyperacusis Worse?

    Just an update for me. I got both Moderna shots and one booster. I never experienced any kind of spike or increase. I’ll probably get this new omicron targeted booster sometime in the next couple weeks.

    Will You Get Vaccinated for Coronavirus (COVID-19)? Can It Make Tinnitus or Hyperacusis Worse?

    It’s now been a week since my second moderna shot and absolutely nothing. My tinnitus hasn’t increased one bit, if anything it seems quitter (probably because Im not stressing about side effects anymore).

    Will You Get Vaccinated for Coronavirus (COVID-19)? Can It Make Tinnitus or Hyperacusis Worse?

    Just got my second second Moderna shot three days ago and no side effects except for a sore shoulder. No change in tinnitus. I will update if anything changes but it seems like I’m out of the woods. Also, a friend of mine that has tinnitus got his second shot a month ago and hasn’t experienced...

    Share Your Coronavirus (COVID-19) Vaccine Experience: Any Impact on Your Tinnitus or Hyperacusis?

    I received my first Moderna shot three weeks ago and only got a very sore arm at the injection point (this could have been made worse because I worked out a bit on my shoulders that same day). No increase or decrease in tinnitus.

    Lenire — Bimodal Stimulation Treatment by Neuromod

    It’s a bit mind boggling that in this day and age you can’t just hook up the device via usb to your laptop and download the new program. Perhaps the device needs to be checked, calibrated or something to that effect?

    Lenire — Bimodal Stimulation Treatment by Neuromod

    Sorry I don’t come on here that often anymore. My reactive tinnitus has done very well, I’m happy to report. I still hear my tinnitus all day long but it mostly bothers me in the morning, but no where near how it did all last year. During the day my tinnitus sounds like a faint hiss and seems...

    Lenire — Bimodal Stimulation Treatment by Neuromod

    I’m wondering if there is any drawback or even danger in doing Lenire and then trying another neuromodulation device, such as Dr. Shore’s, at a later date?

    Lenire — Bimodal Stimulation Treatment by Neuromod

    I can’t think of anyone that has had any improvement on Lenire’s second six week setting. Am I wrong and if so, does anyone have any stats on how many people have had any improvement?

    Lenire — Bimodal Stimulation Treatment by Neuromod

    70% still sounds pretty good, but would you say that out of that 70% maybe only 25% experience very good results and the rest is average? Or how would you break it down?

    Lenire — Bimodal Stimulation Treatment by Neuromod

    I capitulated and postponed my appointment until September. The whole coronavirus thing was the straw that broke the camel's back, and of course it would be great to see more positive data before committing to the treatment.

    Lenire — Bimodal Stimulation Treatment by Neuromod

    I went through a similar rough patch last year. I had a pretty nasty spike from August to about mid December. I think it was due to going to a concert with faulty ear plugs, but not entirely sure. My sleep pattern wasn’t good at the time since I was traveling a lot so maybe it could have been...

    You can always email them and see if they have an earlier appointment? They were able to change mine fairly easily. For your spike, have you gotten on any medication or perhaps changed medication? I know some have an effect on worsening tinnitus. Sorry to hear about your spike. You’re right...

    Lenire — Bimodal Stimulation Treatment by Neuromod

    In the podcast, Dr. Ross O’Neill mentions that one of the doctors who is working on the Minnesota device worked with him on Lenire for two years or so before they released it to the public. So I would imagine both devices will be similar.

    At the most I’m thinking a few months or so, so sounds like I should be good... Thanks for the info!

    Lenire — Bimodal Stimulation Treatment by Neuromod

    I’m definitely contemplating that idea. I’d still go to Dublin to have a few pints of Guinness and tour the country a bit. Do you know by any chance; when someone goes to the initial appointment for the hearing test etc., how long do they have to decide on whether or not they want to purchase...
