Yes, my friend. In our country, they do not know much about this. I was very scared that it could be an infection. My doctor prescribed me an antibiotic without testing, and it did not help. My symptoms became much worse.

I hope this actually works for someone. Right now, it seems like a dubious garage hack with very modest budgets. But if it helps and works—it would be a miracle. Donald Trump recently hosted a dinner that cost $200 million. That is dozens of times more than all the funding noise researchers...

I am not sure what their in vitro results were—if they even had any. In the end, they could not demonstrate anything in vivo. Honestly, I never believed it from the start. It seemed too sensational, something that would have turned the world upside down. Even billionaires today have to rely on...

Are there hearing aids with amplification up to 10-12 kHz to compensate for the loss at these frequencies?

Hi buddy! Do you use hearing aids in your daily life?

Do you take Clonazepam regularly? Does it actually help with tinnitus? I’ve considered it as well, although doctors in our country are very reluctant to prescribe it.

If you truly believe that the loudness of tinnitus correlates with the degree of hearing loss, then I’m horrified by the intensity of ringing you must experience.

I’ll explain why I don’t believe in the likelihood of a real drug (pill) being released to treat tinnitus. The main reason is that it’s a business: to recoup development costs and turn a profit, they would need high and frequent sales. However, if such a pill truly existed and could reduce or...

As far as I understand, the working mechanisms of Lenire for tinnitus and Dr. Shore’s device are almost the same. So why is Lenire considered ineffective? From what I know, clinical trials showed it had even higher effectiveness than Dr. Shore’s device (around 80%). However, we still don’t have...

Am I correct in understanding that SSRIs will only make it worse, following this logic, but will not cure the noise?

Hi @Hazel! I’m so happy for you! I hope your brain has long since learned to ignore the noise in your ears and filter it out. Thank you for all your hard work!

Why are there so few success stories on this forum? I am deeply convinced that there were many here who were able to learn to filter tinnitus. They don't want to come back here and that's their right.

Hi, I have moderate hearing loss (although I never checked above 8 kHz). Along with this hearing loss, I developed terrible tinnitus in both ears, which tormented me and led to suicidal thoughts. I suffered for 1.5 years and was in absolute despair of ever getting rid of it. All the research...
