Not really sure to be honest. I’m thinking Ketamine therapy, if successful, MAY quiet brain signals or redirect or reconnect neural pathways. I’m convinced it’s all about the brain and less to do with the ear in my case. So who knows? But it may be worth the try. Just looking for some feedback.

I’m interested in a home Ketamine program called “Mindbloom”. Has anyone tried it?

Hi, It’s really late here in NY & the T is raging so I can’t sleep.. again. Just wanted to say hi. I just read another ad for another gadget to help with the T. Only $30! It’ll be the 100th $30 I’ve spent. Lol . I won’t buy it. But I may. Who knows? Anyway.. take care.

My latest “new” doctor is an endocrinologist. I wanted labs & a 24-hr urine test to see if I had a hormone issue. Everything, including glucose, came back negative. But she prescribed me Ozempic (0.25 mg) weekly injection because I’ve put on too much weight that has been extremely resistant to...

I recently came across an ad for “grounding” bed linens. Tinnitus was not listed amongst the ailments touted to be helped. But circulation and inflammation was. Any thoughts on this? They are quite expensive. One sheet & pillowcase over $200. Yes... desperate times; etc.

@EricJ, wishing you all the best with your CBG experiment. Yes, I’m still doing better on it than without it. I tested that out by not buying more when I ran out. After about a week, I got a loud buzzing in my bad ear that wouldn’t go away. I ordered a new bottle and after a few days, the...

After sleeping or napping from 5 minutes to 8 hours results in very loud Tinnitus spikes. At first I thought maybe it was the position of my head & neck. But that theory is not accurate as I have fallen asleep practically sitting straight up in my lounge chair and it’s the same results. It does...

@Ear Drummer, yes! I do these all too. They work great for tension, relaxation and my tinnitus related anxiety. But for some reason, the only exercise that seems to affect the tinnitus directly & positively is the PolyVagal exercise. I think it maybe because my tinnitus is more somatic. Although...

@Ctjbush, this exercise was recommended by my massage therapist, who showed it to me briefly. I then went to YouTube & found Sukie Baxters Vagus Nerve Reset videos. TBH I just clicked on the first one, but I now do several of her exercises. It’s very basic & extremely simple. Just lie back in...

For a month now, I’ve been doing the Polyvagal exercise. I find it definitely helps bring my tinnitus volume WAY down. I do it 2x a day (in the am & before bed) for approximately 1-2 minute each time. I also do it as needed when I get a spike. It’s demonstrated very well on YouTube. I hope...

My coffee limit is 2 cups a day. If I attempt more; it spikes. Regular tea (herbal is fine) gives me a huge spike within 15 minutes which can last over 24 hours.

The T is tamer. I realized that my terrible spikes are related to inflammation, anxiety & stress. Im learning to handle this aspect better.

Anyway... getting back to hearing aids. 8 years ago I started with a traditional hearing aid which a highly ineffective audiologist advised would help not only my hearing, but my tinnitus. It did help my hearing but nothing for my tinnitus. Surprise! As these things are pretty expensive as I’m...

@nuno1976 , hi; did you have the dry needling treatment? If so, did it help?

@lucy_snow; I took a 20 mg 6 day pack, tapering down over the 6 days. It is considered a low dose protocol. Like I mentioned, the tinnitus relief was temporary and came back not long after I finished the pack.
