    Saying Hello: Tinnitus from Loud Club

    Do you have access to vitamin B12 injections? Hydroxocobalamin, subcutaneous injections (-> into the belly) could help a lot in a quite a short time.

    Tinnitus After Johnson & Johnson COVID-19 Vaccine

    Out of curiosity: did any one of you who got tinnitus from the vaccine test your body for an nitrosative stress? Nitrosative stress is a typical cause of all these issues and is induced by a lot of substances, as well as psychological stress, etc.

    Do You Treat Your STD or Just Let Your Body Handle It to Avoid Antibiotics?

    I like this post! Thank you for confirming my impression that, on Tinnitus Talk and on the Internet you can easily find almost every drug to be ototoxic - just find the right source for a specific drug :) Nevertheless, we should stop focusing only on our ears when it's about health. We are...

    Doxycycline — Is It Safe for People with Tinnitus?

    No worries bro, If you search on Tinnitus Talk, everyone eventually got rid of tinnitus who got it from Doxycycline. Reasons: - Doxycycline is not ototoxic per se, but it messes with your mitochondria. That's why some people notice tinnitus - maybe tinnitus that they even had before but so...

    Tinnitus & Hyperacusis Started While Taking Doxycycline

    Thanks @Toney, and especially for your reports! You may be right, but on the other hand there are many people who have taken Doxycycline and were not exposed to loud noise, so in my opinion it could well have done it on its own. And, once you manage to treat your Doxycycline-intoxication so to...

    Tinnitus & Hyperacusis Started While Taking Doxycycline

    The effect of Doxycycline to the nerves is not ototoxicity. Doxycycline is not necessarily ototoxic. Furthermore, not everyone suffers from such severe side effects of Doxycycline. The ones who experienced tinnitus like symptoms probably experienced the following effect: Detoxification in the...

    Tinnitus & Hyperacusis Started While Taking Doxycycline

    Hi Toney, Thank you for opening this thread! I will follow it and hope I can help. Note that my theories so far are also only guesses and that I would also very much like to find the "truth behind Doxycycline". Count me in your team here :).

    99% Recovered from Tinnitus

    Hi Samuel, 1) I'm wondering that even such a small dose led to such severe problems for you and that they lasted so long. This leads me to the thought that sensitivity to Doxycycline is extremely different from body to body. Thus, IMHO it is not directly related to hearing cells, since we (me...

    Doxycycline for Acne Rosacea: Scared to Take — Tinnitus from Neck and Jaw

    I wholeheartedly wish you a big improvement :) BTW: the "for example" was meant as "dosage recommended for the above example tablets".

    Doxycycline for Acne Rosacea: Scared to Take — Tinnitus from Neck and Jaw

    If antioxidants did not help (or not enough) it may be that your mitochondria lost Cytochrom C/Vitamin B3, breaking the respiratory chain of ATP production, resulting in increase of problems with nerves that need a lot of energy, such as HAIR CELLS. Note that this issue is reversible, as the...

    Doxycycline — Is It Safe for People with Tinnitus?

    I don't think so. I bet that either there is still Doxycycline in your body, since you took it that long, or you have (reversibly) damaged your mitochondria. "Doxycycline hyclate binds reversibly to the 30S ribosomal subunit, possibly to the 50S ribosomal subunit as well, thereby blocking the...

    Doxycycline — Is It Safe for People with Tinnitus?

    Did you try NAC or endurance sports btw? I am sure it is temporary also for you, but it can take some time.

    My Ototoxic / Stress-Induced Tinnitus Is Nearly Gone

    Hi! Thank you a lot for sharing your experiences! I am pretty sure this isn't true to be honest, however (and I say that also to motivate others and yourself here). If your tinnitus is quiet enough, it is extremely hard to distinguish it from complete silence, especially if you haven't had any...
