    Shingles Vaccine / Shot — Contains a Small Amount of Neomycin...

    Hi, I’m due for Shingles jab / shot next week, but I read that the vaccine contains Neomycin, albeit only a small amount or so they say... I'm really not sure whether to go ahead with it as Neomycin is listed as ototoxic... Any help or advice really appreciated... Thank you.

    Your Thyroid Can Make Your Ears Ring!

    Oh yes my Tinnitus was definitely caused by misdiagnosed Hypothyroidism.. Went on for months untill i saw another Doctor who re checked my blood tests .. By then it was too late and my body was in melt down.. Very loud tinnitus started one morning when i woke up .. I take 225 mg of Levothyroxine..

    Our brain and tinnitus

    Emil wrote ( partly ) If this is right sleeping without masking would be a bad idea as our brain would get used to hearing the T all the time. I'm thinking that if i sleep without any masking sounds, my ear/brain would get some rest, as the ear would not get any stimulus? :) Emil i used a sound...

    Neuromonics

    So that's TRT. @ 4000 Bucks and Neuromonics @6000 Bucks ... What an insult to a desperate suffer esp as at the end of both courses the patient will Still have damn Tinnitus..

    Antidepressants (SSRIs, SNRIs, MAOs, TCAs, TeCAs)

    The EarPopper Machine?

    Hey @just1morething ... That's a very interesting link, thanks... Sometimes tinnitus can become exacerbated by ETD and that particular device I'm pretty sure would be of value... We need something like that for tinnitus... So simple really...

    Has Anyone Who's Had Cycling Tinnitus Gone More Than Two Days Quiet(er)?

    What is it with this 48 hour.. Nonsense.. What the hells going on inside our heads .. I think the brain actually begins to miss hearing the tinnitus signal and goes hunting for it ..then when it finds it... Turns up the gain .. Thanks a bunch brain ..
