Hey all, In addition to my chronic head hissing, I've developed intermittent fullness, blockage, or muffled hearing on my left side. It's accompanied by a metallic-sounding echo when I speak, especially with frequencies near my hearing loss range. Could this be autophony? I've also noticed...

I take a natural product called policosanol and get no tinnitus spikes.

Update from Bionics:

Just a FYI: My naturopath, who is also a Chinese herbalist, prepared a mix using the herbs mentioned in this study, except for tansy. The active ingredient in tansy is thujone, which is toxic to the liver and brain. Instead, he replaced it with feverfew, a relative of tansy. I’ve been taking...

I'll second that.

My tinnitus has worsened twice: after taking Cephalexin and Amoxicillin. I don't believe it's due to ototoxicity. I think it's more likely related to mast cell activation syndrome (MCAS) and/or gut dysbiosis.

I’m pretty sure @ErikaS posted an algorithm that included adding Topamax if the patient is already on an antidepressant, such as Nortriptyline.

Is the NeuroMed Tinnitus Program available to international patients?

I am sorry about your spikes. This is a guess, but looking at your ingredients, I think it could be L-theanine. The literature refers to L-theanine as a partial agonist of the NMDA receptor, which exerts its effects by modulating GlunN2A and GluN2B gene expression. I hope the Melatonin helps...

I have never taken Azithromycin, but I have experienced two significant relapses in my tinnitus since taking Cephalosporins and Penicillins. I recall reading a paper demonstrating that the gut microbiome could influence brain neurotransmitters and inflammation. I have just completed a gut...

I'm glad it all worked out, Sam. Hopefully, she will be able to return to school. Good luck with the run!

Did you ever manage to source these strains? I have depleted lactobacillus and bifido strains. I'm starting probiotics, prebiotics, sodium butyrate, and colostrum.

May I ask which Curcumin you are taking? I can't find the one you mention on your profile. Is it still working?

Good idea! You need to find someone who is skilled and compassionate.

Yes, I've used laser to revise a root canal. I had a heavily filled tooth, that needed a revision of a broken filling. It wasn't loud at all, only some zap sounds. I just wore earplugs. There was no pain - so no need for drugs.
