    IGF1 (Insulin-Like Growth Factor 1) as SSHL Salvage Treatment

    Desensitization. I hated needles but after a week couldn't care less. Ended up with a bucket of needles after the course was complete. Don't look, stab, and inject. Simple

    IGF1 (Insulin-Like Growth Factor 1) as SSHL Salvage Treatment

    SSHL is from burst artery going to the ear, not noise damage. I had tinnitus before but it was low, when I got SSHL I had massive noise bleeds, then pretty bad tinnitus. Was due to high BP, not any physical trauma. As for tinnitus being linked, I cannot positively say. I have SSHL in one ear...

    IGF1 (Insulin-Like Growth Factor 1) as SSHL Salvage Treatment

    Did you read the paper? This is for treatment of SSHL, not tinnitus. Recovery rate was low and within the 60% of use of Prednisone close to the time of injury. Even so the good audiograms had little improvement and nothing you would call a recovery. Tinnitus had little to no improvement...

    IGF1 (Insulin-Like Growth Factor 1) as SSHL Salvage Treatment

    I'd probably say little to no effect to be honest. All the salvage treatments had a narrow window of recovery from trauma, Prednisone is the primary (controversial) treatment for SSHL. 2 years after the fact, I doubt it. But if you have the cash why not, I'd recommend IGF1-LR3, it's cheaper but...

    IGF1 (Insulin-Like Growth Factor 1) as SSHL Salvage Treatment

    I read in thread that the clinic was charging $6000 for the treatment. I DIY'd the treatment for a fraction of that, same results...

    IGF1 (Insulin-Like Growth Factor 1) as SSHL Salvage Treatment

    Someone sent me a link that you've been commentating on: https://www.tinnitustalk.com/threads/south-korean-clinic-treatment-dr-minbo-shim.19340/ http://cmclinics.com/ So no I didn't make that up. Papers I posted used intratympanic injections, 3-6 in total I believe. The course cost me $600...

    IGF1 (Insulin-Like Growth Factor 1) as SSHL Salvage Treatment

    Lol I never said I wasn't a douche too. I can tell you now they have really bad tinnitus. It's to do with very high blood pressure rupturing the vessel I'm talking about. I did a high dose but they did much higher than I did. And they have worse tinnitus. In relation to above, IGF1 will heal...

    IGF1 (Insulin-Like Growth Factor 1) as SSHL Salvage Treatment

    I would not risk an intratympanic injection, too many horror stories. I'd rather flood my body with IGF1 than do that, it's insane risk. Lots of witch doctors offer this, they charge $6,000 for $15 worth of IGF1 and you take the risk. I know people are desperate for a cure but please don't risk...

    IGF1 (Insulin-Like Growth Factor 1) as SSHL Salvage Treatment

    ^ Anti-aging clinics and YouTube. Logging back in after 2 years. I've done 3 courses of IGF1 since, both acute high dose and long chronic dosage and little to no effect on hearing. If it did work then body builders would have amazing hearing, in reality it's the opposite. The cure is...

    South Korean Clinic Treatment (Dr. Minbo Shim)

    Logging back in after 2 years. As I expect nothing has changed. Have a thread on IGF-1 for SSHL, in short since I've done 3 courses of IGF1 since, both acute high dose and long chronic dosage and little to no effect on hearing. If it did work then bodybuilders would have amazing hearing, in...

    IGF1 (Insulin-Like Growth Factor 1) as SSHL Salvage Treatment

    Final update After a whole series of tests and months on IGF1, I can say that the treatment did not work. After a few traumatic life events, my hearing and T is now worse. Speaking to a neurologist, he agreed that the cause (and cure) is a vascular issue/treatment. IGF1 was a good precautions...

    IGF1 (Insulin-Like Growth Factor 1) as SSHL Salvage Treatment

    Prossibly, will have to look into it. Ventilin doesnt help T directly but makes me sleep better, sometime I will wake with sleep aponia(and associted BP spike), with Ventilin I wont. Might give Oxytocin a go. I measure my BP and it was a insane 170/120!, This morning 150/100. I had 3 bags of...

    IGF1 (Insulin-Like Growth Factor 1) as SSHL Salvage Treatment

    Week7 After lifting some heavy wheels and tyres, T and hearing loss came back with a vengeance. Still high even after a few days, havnt been drinking much water either, hence higher BP. Which is fine, supports my theory that T is not hair damage but blood hammer / vessel damage. Not yet, as...

    IGF1 (Insulin-Like Growth Factor 1) as SSHL Salvage Treatment

    What I did notice leading up to my SSHL is that I got bad nose bleeds. I never had nose bleeds in my life. So it seems it can be related as a vascular failure/damage of some sorts that lead up to SSHL and T. That will be my next test, I'm getting a BP meter off my relative this week. I notice...

    IGF1 (Insulin-Like Growth Factor 1) as SSHL Salvage Treatment

    Week6 No difference Thanks for this, starting to see a pattern here. People have reported T going away at high altitudes and Barometric chambers (therapy) then when back to normal pressure it will come back. Now I need to come up with some idea how to measure vascular pressure in the ear and...
