Well, Lenire has got such a bad rep here that people tend to forget it actually helps some people.- Bart

New University of Michigan Tinnitus Discovery — Signal Timing
My apologies. I did not mean to sound so negative. It's just that after ten years of being on Tinnitus Talk (I've been away for a couple of years), I've seen so many things come and go, being hyped up that the cure was just around the corner. I am getting tired and skeptical. If it works...- Bart

New University of Michigan Tinnitus Discovery — Signal Timing
I certainly hope so. I am talking about the media silence regarding the fact that no professional has ever heard about this so-called device or Susan Shore in general, at least here in Belgium. My audiologist asked me to link her to Susan Shore's research. She was not convinced about this...- Bart

New University of Michigan Tinnitus Discovery — Signal Timing
I don't mean to be a party pooper in any way, but it seems as if this device is again considered as some holy grail. My audiologist and I are pretty skeptical; similar devices and research have been tried before with subpar results, and Auricle's complete media silence and updates are not...- Bart

@makeyourownluck I think I will call it quits on the amitriptyline, I'm on an extreme low dose (6mg) in a combo with trazodon (20mg) but the side effects are not so good, I'm pretty sensitive to meds I guess (oh joy), I got a prescription for the duloxetine though, can I ask what dose you're on ?- Bart

Are you starting to notice any improvement? I feel like we are stuck in the same boat, can't even sit comfortably for more than ten minutes without pain in my sit bone and the muscles are all cramped up, doing physiotherapy without much luck so far, only seems to be making things worse, what the...- Bart

I hope you find some relief soon, I have been suffering from burning nerve pain myself for a couple of weeks, they don't really seem to find what's causing it, been prescribed Trazodone+amitriptylin, it helps but now my tinnitus is spiking, nerve issues can take a while but things will improve .- Bart

Hey how is your nerve pain ? It might be the pudendal nerve that is acting up , do the drugs work? It can take some time before they start to have an effect.- Bart

Viagra/Sildenafil with Pre-Existing Tinnitus
If you Google it, there are very few anecdotal reports of people that got tinnitus after taking an ED drug. The mechanism behind it is not understood and the correlation is not proven, it could be due to any number of other reasons as well. Personally, I think it's fine in low doses and taken... -
Things People Say When You Tell Them You Have Tinnitus
For me, mostly just pelvic pain, which can be severe at times, that comes and goes. -
Things People Say When You Tell Them You Have Tinnitus
I have chronic prostatitis as well and sometimes need to take Doxycycline to deal with flare ups. Doxycycline does sometimes seem to spike it but not permanently. Remember that the stress from pelvic pain causes stress that can also worsen tinnitus. The thing with chronic prostatitis is that... -
Erectile Dysfunction (ED) and Performance Anxiety — Has Cialis or Viagra Impacted Your Tinnitus?
You are welcome. My take on it is that life with tinnitus is already hard enough at times that you should not refrain from things that will give you pleasure, even if you risk a temporary spike. I am no medical doctor though and just speak from my own experience. -
Erectile Dysfunction (ED) and Performance Anxiety — Has Cialis or Viagra Impacted Your Tinnitus?
My experience with Cialis (I take it recreationally sometimes) is that it can sometimes make your tinnitus louder, but it's temporary if you don't freak out too much about the possible temporary spike. I have asked several doctors and ENTs and they all pretty much say the same thing, that it...
