Hello fellow tinnitus sufferers, patients and clinicians, I wanted to reach out because I have been AWOL so to speak and I used to be very active on this very lovely forum. I had noticed in my facebook feed the story of Mr. Jones' passing. I decided that I'd log in and see the thread for...

@harleyquinn First of all, your English is very good and you shouldn't apologize for it. Hell, it's probably better written English than my own and English is my first language! :) Second, I have the high pitched sounds and the low rumbling in silence that you describe. I'm not sure what it's...

You can't just do debug.print on tinnitus, sorry lol

I don't think it's a good idea to gleam too much information from really early data. As you have said, he may be getting placebo. It may also take a good deal of time for the active drug to reach high enough concentrations in the blood to have an effect. There are a lot of factors. None of us...

I think you're in a really good position if you have tinnitus that is only intermittent. Mine never goes away no matter what I do. I think you're waaaaaay over thinking things. There is no way that stuff as low as 30 db or 40 db can harm your hearing in any way. Those are incredibly soft...

I don't think using decongestants for a little bit will make your tinnitus permanently worse. If it has any effect at all, it will be clearing up your sinuses a bit so that your ears can pop and drain. I'd be more concerned about that than what taking a decongestant for a little bit will do to...

Never say never. If you say "X will never do Y." In 99% of cases, you're setting yourself up for failure. But as @preslys said, let's stay on topic and discuss Autifony here.

God, I hate this ad. I don't know what it has to do with taxes, or anything. For 90% of us, seeing a doctor (these days still at least) early on in tinnitus is a fruitless endeavor. This has been coming up on tons of my youtube videos I watch.

Quater 3 or Quarter 4 of this year would be my guess. This trial isn't supposed to last that long, and they'll need a little time to do data analysis.

@carlos28 Welcome to our forum. Sorry to hear that you're experiencing tinnitus. It's very difficult to know for sure if it will be permanent or not. It is not uncommon for tinnitus to fade over the course of a couple of weeks. That being said, I acquired tinnitus when I was 17, and it has not...

@2131e Have you had any success initiating the enrollment onto the trial? Also, how's your wombat doing?

I agree! Their interest in this is very encouraging to say the least. Thank you all for the work on submitting what we have so far to the TRI.

I'm sorry if you had a poor experience using the drug, but no one asked you to do this. Everyone has volunteered to do this, and gone to great lengths to discuss using this drug off label with their doctors.

From experience and talking to others, how "loud" your tinnitus is really only matters in the beginning as that will influence how often you're thinking about it. However, there are people with relatively mild tinnitus who concentrate on it constantly. The loudness of tinnitus does not mean you...

I completed college after I had tinnitus. It had no effect on me being able to complete engineering school. If you stay busy with school and don't concentrate on it (easier said than done) you should be just fine! Welcome to our site. Don't saddle yourself with questions like "Now that I have...
