    Here Is How I Solved My Tinnitus — New Protocols and Supplements To Try

    Hi Folks - since several people have asked - yes my T is still completely gone. I do think the combination of the water method, and the supplements, with a Z pack (zithromax antibiotic), was what finally did it.

    Here Is How I Solved My Tinnitus — New Protocols and Supplements To Try

    I did the water / valsalva / norepinephrine 2 days in a row in week 1 and 1 day in week 2. However I think it is best to do this in combination with a prescription antibiotic like a Zpak to avoid any risk of getting a middle ear infection. I think I may have had a low grade middle ear infection...

    yes it was diagnosed. What you describe is normal and sounds like eustachian tube inflammation.

    Here Is How I Solved My Tinnitus — New Protocols and Supplements To Try

    Update: I saw an allergist today and am going to try Singulair, a prescription allergy medicine, instead of Allegra and instead of Benadryl -- as it is supposedly better. Also I'm going to start a non-steroid nasal spray, instead of Dymista, that is supposedly very good at getting the mist...

    Here Is How I Solved My Tinnitus — New Protocols and Supplements To Try

    Assuming there is no underlying neurological or vascular issue (you can do hearing test, MRI/MRA to determine that) then most likely this indicates that indeed the problem is eustachian tube issues. My T alternated in a similar way. It was also at times so severe I really got worried that I...

    Possible Cause of Pulsatile Tinnitus

    Hi Karen - has your T improved? You might want to check out my threads on some solutions to T that I've found. You certainly will benefit from getting the Lyme under control (that can take 18 - 24 months of multiple antibiotics plus supplements like the Cowden Protocol etc.). Lyme can also...

    Here Is How I Solved My Tinnitus — New Protocols and Supplements To Try

    Milking the nasal steroid into the eustachian tubes is fine according to my ENT, however you should only use the prescribed amount (usually 1 spray per nostril) -- so you can't really generate a stream of liquid like you can with water or norepinephrine. It probably would be way too high a dose...

    Here Is How I Solved My Tinnitus — New Protocols and Supplements To Try

    ENTs basically can identify eustachian tube dysfunction, but they don't seem to know what to do about it. They are totally not familiar with my unorthodox water / norepinephrine method and probably would warn you that it could cause a middle ear infection. Nonetheless it works and so far I...
