    What Caused My New Low-Pitched Vibrating Hum? Should I See an ENT and Try Steroids?

    Hello @Ben Winders! I have read many of your old posts and truly appreciate you sharing your more recent experience with us. It is very encouraging to read that you are doing so much better, especially since I was in a similar situation as you years ago. May I ask two questions? 1. Was the...

    Thank you for sharing your experience. I am sorry that Neurofeedback has not brought you any relief.

    Electrical Stimulation of the Cochlea for Treatment of Chronic Disabling Tinnitus

    @Nick47, well, this is certainly a duplicate now, as it is already part of this thread. In the meantime, I found the other Tinnitus Talk thread that focuses exclusively on this study. It would have been helpful if you had posted a link, so that someone who is clearly not aware of it could take...

    Electrical Stimulation of the Cochlea for Treatment of Chronic Disabling Tinnitus

    Hello @Nick47, I still could not find it in this thread. Maybe it is mentioned somewhere less obvious. English is not my first language, so it is possible I missed that information. Anyway, I still think there are posts that are much more off-topic or trivial than mentioning, perhaps again...

    Electrical Stimulation of the Cochlea for Treatment of Chronic Disabling Tinnitus

    @Nick47, I wasn’t aware of it, even though I read through the entire thread. If I may ask, where exactly is it already available?

    Electrical Stimulation of the Cochlea for Treatment of Chronic Disabling Tinnitus

    If I’m not mistaken, there is another study in Belgium testing electrical stimulation of the cochlea: Evaluating How a Tinnitus Implant Affects Tinnitus Loudness in Adults with Chronic Tinnitus and Varying Levels of Hearing Loss (TINIS)

    tRNS, The Next Neuromodulation Method

    Hello @Joeseph Stope, I’m sorry for what you went through 25 years ago. Unfortunately, some of that advice is still around. When I received “counseling” from someone associated with the German tinnitus league and was told to keep busy with jigsaw puzzles, it freaked me out a little. Anyway, I...

    tRNS, The Next Neuromodulation Method

    Thank you so much for your report, Arnaud! It is very interesting that you had such a similar experience and reached the same conclusion that you would rather have this treatment than none at all. I wish “they” (whoever that may be, in our case UZ Zurich) would provide some form of treatment...

    tRNS, The Next Neuromodulation Method

    For those who have been following this thread and reading about my participation in the UZ Zurich study: I was right in my assumption that I received the proper treatment during my first cycle. As I reported here, I noticed some changes in my tinnitus after the very first stimulation session...

    Thanks, Arnaud! Yes, I do consider Neurofeedback as well. I will post about the study in the bimodal thread once it has finished.

    tRNS, The Next Neuromodulation Method

    Hello @Arnaudswiss, My second cycle is complete. As expected, I did not experience any improvement in my tinnitus. It feels like my tinnitus is back to baseline, with the same loudness as before my participation in the study. At the end of December, I will find out during which cycle I...

    tRNS, The Next Neuromodulation Method

    Thank you for your response. No sound at all? That’s interesting. My experience has been a bit different. During the first cycle, I noticed a sound resembling white noise. I still suspect that this was the cycle where the actual treatment occurred. Now, I am hearing “beeps” at different...

    tRNS, The Next Neuromodulation Method

    Hello @Arnaudswiss, Thank you for sharing your experience! I wish you had seen more improvement and am sorry to hear that the tinnitus still bothers you. It’s such a strange condition! It would be interesting to see what would happen if you had more sessions—whether your tinnitus would fade a...
