@Bobby B Thanks for the info! Giving it a go. I’m sure its totally fine, but if I do notice any effects i’ll be sure to report them here.

Hey all, I'm about to start using Minoxidil, but I read a few mentions (across the internet) of it increasing or causing tinnitus. I'm a little suspect of random posts because their tinnitus could have started from something other than the Minoxidil, but have any of you experienced anything...

I was thinking the other day about what the perfect living situation would be for a tinnitus sufferer. I was thinking probably somewhere near a flowing stream.. perhaps where it rains frequently for the added white noise. Likely in a rural area.. away from city noises and police sirens... and...

I've had tinnitus for about a year now, but I've coped quite well as time has gone on. I've been very careful about noise exposure and always use ear protection in loud situations. Last week a new noise hit me, in my right ear only. Its a lower tone, an intermittent beeping that alternates...

I took part in the AM-101 trial (via injections) and now my high-pitched tinnitus gets slightly louder with my pulse. I do not know if the injections caused it. Its pretty faint, so its possible that I always had it and never noticed, or that I just happened to develop it immediately after the...

I'm very close to the end of the study period for my first round of injections. I'd say I've had a slight improvement, but naturally there's no way of knowing if it was the drug, since I may have gotten placebo. I have to decide in the very near future if I'll go for the open-label round. This...

@TC426 does the volume actually go up or are you just in a quieter setting? FYI the study is looking for people with volume at a constant level, because they serve as a more reliable way to measure the effect of the drug. So, just saying if you end up wanting to go through with it, you have a...

So my ENT isn't exactly sure whats causing it, but thinks my ear might still have some inflammation from the procedure, which might be causing the pulsatile T. She said just give it some time. I'll keep you posted. Regarding the popping and pain due to elevation, she didn't mention anything...

On a handful of occasions I've had these sudden 5 or 10 second moments where my tinnitus becomes way louder, or I hear a loud additional high-pitched sound. This morning I had one when I was just walking down a quiet street.. the other day I had one while eating an apple. I'm happy as hell when...

hmm nah, no flying or elevation. my appointment is tomorrow - i'll let you know what my doc says.

yeah there might be something we can take to improve circulation.. its weird that this side effect hasn't popped up until now. i also wonder if the placebo alone (gel getting the inner ear soggy?) would be enough to cause it.. or if its the esketamine in action. did you have both ears treated...

man, we gotta get to the bottom of this pulsatile thing.. i have a follow up appt this week, going to ask the doc more about it.

I do. Its not a huge increase in volume with the pulse, and its not all the time, but its still lingering. I'm at 1 month since injections now. In my experience the volume increase was the first thing to clear up, took maybe a week and a half to get back to baseline for me. You're in primetime...

@OddV did you even have the ringing getting louder with pulse? I have that too, and hadn't seen that side effect listed on this thread before. I thought I may have been the only one to experience that.

@Pilot @Karen thanks for the replies! If i pay attention to my tinnitus, I can hear the increase in volume with my pulse most of the time, even if i'm just sitting at my desk. I think the volume does increase after physical activity though. Also I notice it more in the morning when i'm laying...
