Does anyone know if these people are just researchers or are they doctors as well who see patients? I really think their research sounds promising and I would be keen to know if they think there are any therapeutics or medicines available at the moment which might help us. I think Clonazepam was...

Hi Eleanor89, Hope your doing alright :) I’ve read a few of your posts and I’m interested in the white noise generators and the counselling. Did the NHS give them to you for free? Can I also ask who is doing your private counselling? Is it specifically for tinnitus? I might look into that as...

Have we got any idea when Lenire might be coming to London? I seem to remember a previous post somewhere from a while ago suggesting Neuromod might be linking up with The Tinnitus Clinic to provide Lenire? If so, let's hope they stick to the same price structure they have for Ireland! The...

Did he also address why the old MuteButton didn’t work and why this one was different?

Do we know what their definition of ‘clinically meaningful reduction’ is? It’s one of their primary end points and I suspect there might be a standard definition used across tinnitus research (e.g. a certain percentage reduction on THI). Would just be useful to clarify.

How much Cipro did you take? Any other side effects to it? I’ve had quite a bad reaction to it but sounds like you’ve been fine :) Definitely good the sound is changing as that suggests healing. You’re on the right path!

@Lane Thanks for the article. To be honest, I'm not gonna read any more scary articles and posts about Cipro. Its why I didn't want to mention the name of the medicine on here because it instantly means people write scary things about it and post articles with negative outcomes. There is...

Thanks @Bill Bauer ! Those are great post and really encouraging! Just what I need! I think everyone needs hope in these early days. It would be so good to hear silence again! Thanks again for taking the time to post. Have you noticed any improvement in your tinnitus with time?

Thanks @Tommi_boi . You've been a super big help to me in keeping me optimistic! So I might as well say what the drug or drugs were - Ciprofloxacin (antibiotic) and Finasteride (hair loss drug, blocks DHT which is a form of testosterone). I'm almost certain it was the Cipro which has done this...

Thanks for the advice @Lane . If I'm not making any improvement as time goes by, I'll consider some more alternative approaches. Although I'm pretty sure my tinnitus is medicine related so not sure how relevant it would be really

Thanks @PortalNaut! I really like that quote! I only wish I was a bit better at putting it into action! As I said earlier in this blog, still very much in the denial stage. Hoping a time goes by I'll get better at facing all this really. Lets see.

Hi Tommi, Thanks for the message and checking up on me :) So I’m probably about 2.5 months into my tinnitus journey. Thought I might have been making a bit of improvement recently but to be honest today it just feels as bad as a few weeks ago. Still really hoping I have the potential for some...

How’s your tinnitus now? Any more improvements?

Great you’re getting some relief Lane! Pleased to hear it :)

Hi Tommi_boi, thanks for your message and encouragement! Great you’ve had improvement in your tinnitus. Really hoping I get lots of improvement too over the coming months. How long did it take for you to show some improvements in your tinnitus?
