    Success Story: Tinnitus Leaves After 6 Months

    It's been 1 year 1 month. My tinnitus stays at about a 4. It seems to fluctuate which area it seems to be in. I'm beginning to tune it out quite a bit more, habituate perhaps. It's a daily nuisance but certainly manageable with mild background noise. I no longer browse the Internet looking...

    Autifony Therapeutics Phase II Study for AUT00063, for the Treatment of Hearing Loss and Tinnitus

    Hey bro, I have read the thread daily since it started. I enjoy it. There is interesting new info on occasion. And, if you think I can't 'hang' with your posts than you obviously have no idea who I am. Anyway, I'll give you the last word and then I'll go back to enjoying the thread.

    I really don't understand why you would close the thread with the most activity by far. If you're not enjoying the thread than goto another thread.

    The Positivity Thread

    Realistically, you've probably got permanent ringing, but, this early there is a slight chance that steroids could help. I would try and get on them right away just to see if it helps - although you are a bit late to start from what I've gathered. Nevertheless I would try it. The lack of true...

    Autifony Therapeutics Phase II Study for AUT00063, for the Treatment of Hearing Loss and Tinnitus

    Mmmmeehh.... See, there is very little to no new news on aut00063. So, this thread has become the chat line for current things in general as well as any news regarding au00063. The members have self-organized this way which generally means it makes the most sense. It has the most activity by...

    Success Story: Tinnitus Leaves After 6 Months

    After about 1.5 months of it being completely gone in my ears and a 3-4 in my head it came back to where it's about 1-2 in my ears and stays at about a 4 in my head. It's still much much better than when my left ear was an 8. Most of the time, everyday sounds keep it covered up. In quiet...

    I Was a Guinea Pig in the Autifony QUIET-1 Study, Great Results

    @Mrs D Congratulations! As best as I can tell you are the very first person on the planet to report that a potentially legitimate treatment actually worked. This will be monumental if the good news continues.

    A Message to Frightened 'Anxious Newbies'.

    I for one had T related to noise trauma. 6 months to the day I had a significant drop in T volume. Then, Habituation seemed to begin coming on. I like to point out that I did not have a gradual T volume reduction. For 6 months was quite steady and loud. I learned to cope pretty well. Then...

    Autifony Therapeutics Phase II Study for AUT00063, for the Treatment of Hearing Loss and Tinnitus

    What's concerning is: - there has yet to be even 1 peep that it has worked for anyone yet - The trial execution seems less than legitimate for a company that thinks it has a cash cow on it's hands - Autofony's future cash income related to research etc. stops once it is known that it doesn't...

    How Long Before Habituation of Perception Kicks In?

    @Lisa123 I had very little improvementss for 7 months of terrible painful T. Then, my ears went virtually quiet and I have head T at about a 4. At 8 months I am beginning to go the better part of the day without noticing T unless I'm in a quiet place. My approach was to mask 24 hours a day with...

    Success Story: Tinnitus Leaves After 6 Months

    I did have a pre-intrusive tinnitus 'baseline' which was basically an in the head sound of about 2. I had never really measured because it was not that big of an issue. After the sound induced tinnitus, my left ear went from 0 to 8, right ear from 0 to 5, head from 2 to 5. It was a serious...
