    First Clinical Practice Guidelines for Treatment of Tinnitus

    This is progress... it suggests that the problem is starting to be taken seriously and that maybe it no longer falls into the 'orphan disease' catagory that it did at one time ENT's are tasked with dealing with tinnitus patients, but this is a challenge as they are actually surgeons and as...

    That sounds resonable, thank you!

    AM-101 TACTT1 Results Released

    Yes, I'm a bit surprised that they are using syringes instead of pumps to apply the treatment I seem to remember reading that Caroverine was applied via an osmotic pump in the clinic in india which offers that treatment

    AM-101 TACTT1 Results Released

    Three-prong... while we are at it, let's have some of those stem cells fixing-up our cochleas at the same time so we get our hearing back as well :LOL:

    AM-101 TACTT1 Results Released

    Many thanks for the clarification Am I being simplistic here, or would a combination therapy of something like AM-101 removing the 'root cause' and neural stimulation of some kind (vagal nerve or whatever the latest sound therapy is etc) to stimulate neural plasticity be an appropriate...

    AM-101 TACTT1 Results Released

    What makes you say this - is it simply because of neural plasticity issues?

    Low-Level Laser Therapy (LLLT) for Tinnitus — Efficacy Debate

    This is a useful warning! The lasers do seem to have an effect, for good or for ill. Lasers are certainly not flashlights... they are coherent light sources which deliver high doses of visible spectra radiation to the parts of the body which the coherent light comes into contact with. Our...

    Low-Level Laser Therapy (LLLT) for Tinnitus — Experiences (Dr. Wilden, etc.)

    And to you too I have just had a look back at some of your posts... I think you have taken TRT treatment? How did it work for you, do you feel you are cured? Do you know what caused your tinnitus, did you also have hyperacusis? I'm thinking that I will leave TRT until I have exhausted all...

    Low-Level Laser Therapy (LLLT) for Tinnitus — Experiences (Dr. Wilden, etc.)

    I know that a lot of people say that (it appears to be a cornerstone of TRT), but I'm really not sure it is correct. I have been using ear plugs a lot since my LLLT treatments started (at Dr Wilden's suggestion) and my hyperacusis is improving slowly. I use them on busy roads, in supermarkets...

    Low-Level Laser Therapy (LLLT) for Tinnitus — Experiences (Dr. Wilden, etc.)

    Yes, I also feel that there are some gentle improvements in my condition and like you clinking plates are not such a terror as they were before starting the treatment (though I still have problems with music - horrible for an ex-musician like myself). I was already aware that it would take a...

    Low-Level Laser Therapy (LLLT) for Tinnitus — Efficacy Debate

    Me too, bird calls don't hurt my ears in the way they did a year ago, but it isn't quite spring yet (the volume may go up) and maybe it is just habituation. I was able to sit in a mildly noisy coffee shop last night without earplugs as well (I put them in again after a bit just because I...

    Low-Level Laser Therapy (LLLT) for Tinnitus — Efficacy Debate

    The light from the laser headset I use at home is dispersed over quite a wide area and the higher-powered lasers in the clinic produce a pattern over the whole area so twists and turns in the ear canal cause no problems. I can feel the warmth in my inner ear area, and there are photos on...

    Low-Level Laser Therapy (LLLT) for Tinnitus — Experiences (Dr. Wilden, etc.)

    Sorry for the delay in my response (didn't see you had written to me) and have kept out of this thread as there are some pretty strong opinions here and I don't want to be seen as a 'spokesman' for the treatment I'm still doing the therapy. I have the feeling there is some ongoing slight...
