I suffer in the same way unfortunately. Very high pitched T which started in the right ear and now just sounds within my head. This sounds like the high pitched sound old cathode ray tube tv's produced - very difficult to mask and notice virtually all the time. In the left ear a low tone which...

Yes received an email about 3 weeks ago saying: Tinnitus Clinical Trial - Now Open for Enrollment in U.S. MicroTransponder is pleased to announce that its U.S. Tinnitus Clinical Trial is now open for enrollment. The 30-patient study is being supported by the National Institute on Deafness and...

Wow ok sounds like we all have this popping/fine bubbling thing going on! I do not want to appear crazy, but I should also add that when I walk I can hear a very slight rattle, almost like a thin bone is tapping something else toward the back of my head. I am very confident that this is...

Hi Mr Cartman thanks for the support it means a lot! :) I also read that article and that helped, here's to hoping that happens to all of us! My t was originally triggered via noise exposure, too much clubbing and DJing which in hindsight I wished I and been a lot more careful! Hi Bill, sounds...

Hi Guys, I've had T for going on 5 years now and during the first 3 years I would say it was the T was a mild annoyance and not really something I worried about too much. In the last 2 years I have experienced a much higher pitched hissing sound that seems to resonate more in my head rather...

Hi All - response from the CSO. "Thank you for your email and your interest in Autifony's hearing programme. We are currently completing phase I trials with our lead compound, and hope to initiate Phase II trials later this year. Please feel free to check back with our website...

Hi All, I've emailed Autifony just now to see if I can get any information on the clinical trial and possibility of signing up for phase 2, whenever these may be. Will keep the board posted. Mission

It definitely comes down to personal preference but I would recommend seeing a therapist over a book because it is good to talk about your problems and get them off your chest, where you can be actively helped. My CBT therapist had tinnitus herself, but she didn't tell me until the final...

Amelia, no reason it won't work for long time sufferers and every reason to be positive!! When I say "work", even if this drug has the capacity to dampen down the loudness/level of discomfort from tinnitus, that will be enough for many people. I know within myself if I can get any improvement...

Evening all - I hope everyone has had a quiet day today and tomorrow is even better! :beeranimation: Apologies if this has already been posted here, but the company is stating they aim to have data by 2015. Given this, and the clinical trial is a success (fingers crossed!!!!!!!), do you know...

I started taking magnesium last year and I'm not sure whether it was placebo but it seemed to have a positive effect for me. This year I have decided to take a more scientific approach to finding some relief and will start a 2 month magnesium citrate course! Hoping it takes at least some of the...

Hi Tenna, yonkapin has a fair point, I had an MRI done and it was similar to the video posted (although this isn't to scare :) - I was given earplugs and headphones which really helped) It's definitely worth getting one done though to see if there is anything else which could explain the...

Hi Seal, Do you still wear earplugs when going to restaurants and bars? Just curious as I find even these places very loud! Mission

Hi Sean, The pub incident I mentioned in my post was back in July 2012. I last went to a pub/club around a month ago with work. I didn't stay for more than about 2 hours but I did wear earplugs. Equally I still wear earplugs when going to the cinema as they can pump out the volume pretty loud...

Hi Karla, you're very welcome here! IF there's anything you need to get off your chest, we're here :)

I have to agree with meerut grading the power of thoughts! (y) For me when I initially got T the first few weeks were really difficult, however I found that I habituated fairly quickly (this was noise induced) and the T was very mild and I couldn't hear it in most cases. For the next year and a...

Thanks for the response guys, I will try the Tinnitus and Hyperacusis Centre or try and get a referral as a next step.

I love to play golf, it's nice and peaceful and a game that demands good concentration. Current handicap is 6 and I try not to let my T interfere while i'm playing, why should it! It's a nice way to unwind on the weekend!

Hi All, Apologies if this is under the wrong section, please feel free to move elsewhere if necessary. I wanted to know if any members know who is considered the leading tinnitus expert within the UK? I feel like my tinnitus pitch has changed and I wanted to get some advise on steps to take...

Hi Anne, Has this only just started or have you had T for a few weeks now? You are absolutely right not to panic and stay calm. At first it does seem almost impossible not to think and like it has a mind of it's own doesn't it? MAke sure you get some good rest and try to fall back to sleep and...

@Hudson, excellent post and I know EXACTLY where you are coming from. I guess I am fortunate that I have an understanding girlfriend and family that is supportive, even though I don't really like discussing tinnitus with them as I spend enough of the day thinking about/try to think away from it...

Very good thread and interesting question. I would, without a doubt, give up my entire net worth including all assets to get rid of T. I am relishing the day and clinging onto the hope I will one day hear silence again/be able to train my mind to better ignore the phantom sounds! More...

Indeed this is exciting news and with the developments of Auris Medical I feel like we are really starting to push towards getting a certified treatment to deal with T. The thought of going to the doctors and the response being "oh sure, we can fix this through a localized injection in the ear...

Hi All, I couldn't see a post dedicated to this so apologies if this is a repost and please merge if necessary. I recieved the following email alert from MicroTransponder today: The MicroTransponder team has continued to work diligently on our neurostimulation therapy for treating tinnitus...

Hi Carlover, Deep, Very aware of addiction properties of codeine and certainly wouldn't want to become dependent, not the goal here! Just found it coincidental that after having it in the early hours, the T has been much more manageable today. Equally the sleep aspect is interesting and...

Hi All, Wondering if anyone knows any of the possible compound effects from Nurofen Plus tablets (available in the UK and presumably abroad) that could have an effect on suppressing tinnitus symptoms? I know it is essentially a pain killer for headaches and back pain but I had a really bad...

also nice in the UK ;)!!

Hi Louise, Thank you for posting the above, v useful information as I was interested in potentially signing up and not really interested in the type of trial as described (even though I am predominantly right ear T!) Thank you! Mission

Thanks Steve! Will try this out through the headphones tomorrow :) If I have no luck I will try uploading the particular sound that seems to work for me.. I'm a little hesitant I will be able to record it in good enough quality, or the sound may need tweaking to get to the right pitch - my T is...

Hi Guys, Apologies for taking an age to reply, been very busy in the last week (probably a good thing) and only just had a chance to catch up on here. Below is a link to the exact "bottle" that gives me relief (please ignore all reference to the actual website, this was just a pic I got from...

Hi Sven, Thought I would add on here as I am in the process of completing CBT treatment. Initially I went in because the tinnitus was a real problem and causing me anxiety (physical symptoms) which was not pleasant. As mentioned in another post somewhere, this included dizziness, tension...

very interesting, given I am local to this, I may sign up, do you know if this trial is currently running or are they recruiting?

Hi guys, Thanks for your response, the biggest challenge is getting the recording to be extremely high quality and I don't have any mic's to do this, aside an ipad recording. I might see if I can find someone with the equipment to record the sound i need, could be a nice relief to listen too...

Hi All, I thought I would create a new thread and apologies if someone has created this already, but I have found something that quite effectively masks my high pitched hissing tinnitus. At work, we are given bottles of Buxton sparkling water, and when I initially loosen the cap to a certain...

Hi All Very new to the forum (my story here: https://www.tinnitustalk.com/threads/new-to-the-forum-hello.1677/) despite having tinnitus for 4 years - has become a real issue for me in the last 1 year or so (high pitched hiss that seems to have taken over my right ear/head). I agree with...

Hi Alfredo, So just to give a bit of background, I was suffering from a lot of physical symptoms of anxiety, such as racing heart rate (for seemingly no reasons), heart palpitations, dizziness, extreme triedness and tension across my head, occassionally pins and needles sensations - pretty...

Hi Guys, thanks for your responses and messages! This is the frustrating thing about tinnitus, today I have mostly had a good day and it just baffles me as to how one day it can be so much more noticeable, then the next day not that intrusive. I highly doubt the Gingko is having an affect, but...

Hi Markku, Thanks for the welcome! I am in my mid twenties, so this is currently a scary time for me, with potentially a lot of time ahead of me! My CBT therapist did indeed encourage me to avoid wearing earplugs where possible (not necessarily in clubs - I haven't been for over 1.5 years...

Hi All, I have just joined the forum so thought I would take some time to introduce myself and explain my story here. So I have generally been a relatively healthy person all my life, loved my sports and my friends. I studied Economics at University at the beginning of my 2nd year, got...
