Well the party is over. My tinnitus is back. I even doubled my dosage and no improvement. I may have caused more damage at a recent concert so it is possible my positive results would have continued but now I am back on everything. My psychiatrist is raising my dosage of the Pramipexole to 3 mg...

How many lives will be destroyed before Susan Shore gets this on the market. I honestly think there is something going on we don’t know about. 2 years? C’mon man. Something is not right.

I have weened down to 0.5mg Clonazepam and 600 mg Gabapentin since starting the Pramipexole. Mine was noise induced. I was singer for a thrash metal band and my left ear got blown out being too close to an amp over 3 years ago. It has been a journey for sure. I wear Widex Zen’s 24 hours a day...

I am on 0.125 mg twice a day and have had wonderful results. My tinnitus is much more in the background and I forget about it for hours every day. Even when I do hear it, I have little reaction to it. Getting my life back. I have been on it for about a month now.

How can you be tested for occipital neuralgia?

What dosage were you on?

Besides @linearb, was anyone else on Tinnitus Talk part of the Auricle trial?

These results do not look good. Very little real change unless I am reading it incorrectly.

So if my tinnitus gets louder when I clench my teeth or extend out my jaw, does that mean it is somatic? I have noise-induced tinnitus in one ear. I seem to have difficulty getting an answer on what exactly IS somatic tinnitus.

It did not have any effect. I was up to 30 mg a day. I discontinued.

I thought you habituated using TRT? Why are you still using devices and struggling?

Yes, still on 1.5 mg Clonazepam/day.

So the relief you received using the device made a big enough difference that when you stopped, you began to struggle again? If that is so, there may be hope. Thank you for sharing.

I just started Cyclobenzaprine yesterday. 10 mg a night. After a few days, I am going to increase it. My psych said I need to cut back 25 mg of Amitriptyline per 10 mg dose of Cyclobenzaprine. I will post back if I have any improvement.

I have set an appointment with Joyous. Not sure if I will proceed but please keep us updated on your experience and results after you have been doing the therapy a little longer.
