I suffer in the same way unfortunately. Very high pitched T which started in the right ear and now just sounds within my head. This sounds like the high pitched sound old cathode ray tube tv's produced - very difficult to mask and notice virtually all the time. In the left ear a low tone which...

Yes received an email about 3 weeks ago saying: Tinnitus Clinical Trial - Now Open for Enrollment in U.S. MicroTransponder is pleased to announce that its U.S. Tinnitus Clinical Trial is now open for enrollment. The 30-patient study is being supported by the National Institute on Deafness and...

Wow ok sounds like we all have this popping/fine bubbling thing going on! I do not want to appear crazy, but I should also add that when I walk I can hear a very slight rattle, almost like a thin bone is tapping something else toward the back of my head. I am very confident that this is...

Hi Mr Cartman thanks for the support it means a lot! :) I also read that article and that helped, here's to hoping that happens to all of us! My t was originally triggered via noise exposure, too much clubbing and DJing which in hindsight I wished I and been a lot more careful! Hi Bill, sounds...

Hi Guys, I've had T for going on 5 years now and during the first 3 years I would say it was the T was a mild annoyance and not really something I worried about too much. In the last 2 years I have experienced a much higher pitched hissing sound that seems to resonate more in my head rather...

Hi All - response from the CSO. "Thank you for your email and your interest in Autifony's hearing programme. We are currently completing phase I trials with our lead compound, and hope to initiate Phase II trials later this year. Please feel free to check back with our website...

Hi All, I've emailed Autifony just now to see if I can get any information on the clinical trial and possibility of signing up for phase 2, whenever these may be. Will keep the board posted. Mission

It definitely comes down to personal preference but I would recommend seeing a therapist over a book because it is good to talk about your problems and get them off your chest, where you can be actively helped. My CBT therapist had tinnitus herself, but she didn't tell me until the final...

Amelia, no reason it won't work for long time sufferers and every reason to be positive!! When I say "work", even if this drug has the capacity to dampen down the loudness/level of discomfort from tinnitus, that will be enough for many people. I know within myself if I can get any improvement...

Evening all - I hope everyone has had a quiet day today and tomorrow is even better! :beeranimation: Apologies if this has already been posted here, but the company is stating they aim to have data by 2015. Given this, and the clinical trial is a success (fingers crossed!!!!!!!), do you know...

I started taking magnesium last year and I'm not sure whether it was placebo but it seemed to have a positive effect for me. This year I have decided to take a more scientific approach to finding some relief and will start a 2 month magnesium citrate course! Hoping it takes at least some of the...

Hi Tenna, yonkapin has a fair point, I had an MRI done and it was similar to the video posted (although this isn't to scare :) - I was given earplugs and headphones which really helped) It's definitely worth getting one done though to see if there is anything else which could explain the...

Hi Seal, Do you still wear earplugs when going to restaurants and bars? Just curious as I find even these places very loud! Mission

Hi Sean, The pub incident I mentioned in my post was back in July 2012. I last went to a pub/club around a month ago with work. I didn't stay for more than about 2 hours but I did wear earplugs. Equally I still wear earplugs when going to the cinema as they can pump out the volume pretty loud...

Hi Karla, you're very welcome here! IF there's anything you need to get off your chest, we're here :)
