    Sound Pharmaceuticals (SPI-5557 & SPI-1005)

    I am *convinced* there's major inflammation going on in my body. Granted, tinnitus is one of a handful of debilitating things I contend with, but if I take Tylenol or Advil or anything that reduces inflammation, not only am I knocked out within an hour, I will sleep like a baby in a way that...

    Botox 70% Success Rate as a Tinnitus Treatment!?

    It absolutely makes my tinnitus/hearing loss worse. I know I'm in for hell when allergy season rolls around because my response is severe. My problems are primarily with my left ear. My right ear has some tinnitus but no discernible hearing loss. I have some pretty severe anxiety and, along...

    Botox 70% Success Rate as a Tinnitus Treatment!?

    I had Botox done three times for TMJ, and it works like a miracle. Unfortunately, my body also flushes it out of my system so quickly that it's not worth it. $800 a session, and I get about three weeks' worth of relief. Everything relaxes. When I grind my teeth, there is no tinnitus whatsoever...

    2024 US Presidential Election

    I didn't realize this forum was so overrun with Trump nutjobs. Interesting.

    Awesome. I'm on both estrogen and progesterone. No difference.

    Stellate Ganglion Block Therapy for Treating PTSD — Would SGB Shots Also Help Tinnitus?

    Can I ask where you went? I'm in NYC and not too far from you. I also have pretty severe PTSD from other issues. I would love to know. Also, has anyone looked into Dual Sympathetic Block? It's supposed to be the "next level" approach.

    Xenon Pharmaceuticals' XEN1101 — Kv7 Potassium Channel Modulator

    Uh. Wait. WHAT? I have IBS *AND* tinnitus.

    New University of Michigan Tinnitus Discovery — Signal Timing

    Doesn't want to get into a vax argument but makes an incredibly stupid comment about something being rushed when it wasn't and has been studied for many, many years.

    I'm going to die with this, aren't I. :(

    New University of Michigan Tinnitus Discovery — Signal Timing

    Apologies if this was already answered but, once Dr. Shore's device achieves FDA approval, how long after that can the manufacturing begin? Or can they legally begin manufacturing beforehand if they're sure of approval so that they can be immediately ready for distribution?

    Rinri Therapeutics

    I trust the companies that fly under the radar more than the ones that are boasting. It's never the person shouting loudest that I want to pay attention to.

    ...100% of the US is. "We're #1!" :rolleyes: :rolleyes: :rolleyes:

    Hough Ear Institute's Hair Cell Regeneration Project

    Could someone please explain the difference, and how you'd know the difference?

    Choice of Stem Cells

    Effexor. It's one of the worst ones. The brain zaps and dizzy spells that I got coming off of that medication were next level. Hell, even if I missed a SINGLE dose, the side effects were awful. I had been on it for about 4-5 years when I got off of it and I stupidly did it without a doctor's...

    Choice of Stem Cells

    Lithium. I'm not bipolar but both my psych and therapist said they've seen good things with it. And my therapist is pro anything that will help me but, in general, is against psychopharmacology. My side effects on it are being managed and I've seen a marked difference in my mood, probably for...
