    Liquid Ginkgo Biloba Concentrate Alleviates My Tinnitus to Some Degree

    Hello all, Of all of the things I've tried, the only supplement that has had ANY efficacy for me is Ginkgo Biloba. I am posting here because this is specifically about the liquid form and I wasn't finding a lot in other posts. For a while, I was taking Gaia's 20 mg Ginkgo Biloba Flavonoid...

    The Underlying Cause — The Circulatory System?

    I understand the thought or doubt that non-pulsatile or tinnitus based in the auditory system might not be caused by circulatory issues, but I agree... it seems like something that could likely be in those "everything's connected" kind of ways. I came in here to ask just that question and found...

    Sodium Reduced in Diet and Tinnitus Has Been Improving a Lot

    I recently visited MUSC audiology in Charleston, SC and the most helpful part was speaking to a nutritionist specifically about ear health. She discussed dietary changes for low sodium and also foods that promote low cholesterol and inflammation. Regarding sodium, I gathered that there is a...

    Amlodipine and Tinnitus

    Thanks for your reply, @Michael Leigh! I agree with not looking too much into info, and the ATA list of 450 potentially ototoxic meds is extensive. Both the meds I'm taking (this and Fenofibrate) are on there so figured I would poke around learn whether anyone has had experience with either and...

    Mobile Tinnitus Apps (for iOS, Android, Windows Phone, etc.)

    I know this is a bit of a contentious subject, especially given the new efforts with bimodal neuromodulation, but I am wondering if anybody has used this low-cost app, Tonal Tinnitus Therapy, for the recommended period of time (I believe that's 4 hours a day), or tried it (or similar apps or...

    Ginkgo Biloba

    Wow - I was coming in here to say that Gaia Herbs was the one I tried that I seemed to have positive results with at one point. But I'm also not sure if getting better sleep during that period was also part of it. I'm continuing to take it now but just had the thought that I might not commit to...

    N-Acetylcysteine (NAC)

    NAC was one of the initial supplements I tried after hearing about it on here. Seems another example of where a dosage amount and brand name would help. As a sidenote, I stopped taking mine after the bottle developed a very strong, almost sulfur-like smell - really not long after I got it and...

    TinnitusPlay — Mix, Modulate & Notch Sounds Tailored to Your Tinnitus

    That's excellent! Thanks for your response, Hazel. Looking forward to learning more about the notched therapy as I've had trouble finding good apps or programs for that and have not been able to try it. And I saw your responses above since my first post so have been able to learn more but...

    TinnitusPlay — Mix, Modulate & Notch Sounds Tailored to Your Tinnitus

    A sincere thanks for this app and to @Hazel for checking in here for feedback. I also am really looking forward to the Android version. Is there a date for that yet? I have found the Tonal Tinnitus Therapy app on Android to be helpful - not for its intended use as I'm not really betting on...

    Tinnitus Specialists in the Southeast U.S.?

    Will definitely keep you posted. I'm hoping to fax audiogram results and a summary of my tinnitus today so hopefully will hear back soon. I do really appreciate them offering to develop a targeted path and gives a good first impression vs charging an outright fee for consultation. In looking...

    Lipoflavonoid for Tinnitus? Helps or Not?

    There is a lot of good to be said about combining targeted approaches of supplements for the individual. Like I may wrongly give up early on one (like the lipoflavonoid) when it should be used in combination with another, and likely a specific amount or brand. But it is hard not to do when...

    Lipoflavonoid for Tinnitus? Helps or Not?

    Now, I'm taking a number of supplements but stopped the lipoflavinoid. As you mentioned above, if the T is due to something other than blood flow - and mine is likely due to some acoustic trauma - it may not do much alone. I am taking a number of other supplements, but frankly get overwhelmed...

    Tinnitus Specialists in the Southeast U.S.?

    Even just the ruling out of other treatable causes might be worth a trip, I'd think. And I didn't know about the thread on compounds Hough has been working on. Will definitely look into that. Thanks!

    Tinnitus Specialists in the Southeast U.S.?

    So, here's an update. I was very encouraged to get a call back from UNCG's Speech and Hearing Center just now. I learned about them only through the Desyncra device site, although I'm hoping the consultation considers all options. The admin I spoke with was not rushed at all and had already...

    Tinnitus Specialists in the Southeast U.S.?

    I think Hough is the first place that popped up when I did an initial search early on. That's gotta mean something, right? Curious how your experience with them has been?

    Tinnitus Specialists in the Southeast U.S.?

    Curious what makes you think this? My impression is that it is quite common but that there is little science-based research, long approval and trial time for what there is, and a lot of snake oil, like there would be with anything where there is demand. Given that though, seems the only reason...

    Tinnitus Specialists in the Southeast U.S.?

    Will look Dr. Nagler up. Thanks for the suggestion. I had the same experience with hearing aid specialists... On one hand, I was encouraged that there were results in SC, including one with really positive reviews at a speech and hearing center right in W. Columbia where I live! But this one...

    Tinnitus Specialists in the Southeast U.S.?

    Hello all, so I've widened my search from specific therapies to general specialists for tinnitus as I just want to talk with someone in person about the options. I've searched locally in SC and still need to pursue some contacts, although some seem hit or miss or like they focus on hearing aids...

    Amlodipine and Tinnitus

    Hi all, I have been taking amlodipine for three or so years. Aware of the ototoxic effects of so many drugs and also generally under the impression that all drugs have side effects and ideally should not be taken indefinitely. I just came across this link claiming "hundreds and hundreds" of...

    New University of Michigan Tinnitus Discovery — Signal Timing

    While I wouldn't be eligible for the trial, a hopeful update on the timeline for the Michigan Tinnitus Device :) I was very happy to hear back from Dr. Shore after emailing her this afternoon, and I'd encourage any others to contact her. I had also asked her about general eligibility to use the...

    New University of Michigan Tinnitus Discovery — Signal Timing

    Has anyone heard about updates from Susan Shore's study of a bimodal neuromodulation device at the University of Michigan since January 2018? Some positive results but, according to Shore, "we need to optimize the length of treatments, identify which subgroups of patients may benefit most, and...

    Lipoflavonoid for Tinnitus? Helps or Not?

    Hi all, Upon onset of tinnitus in January 2019, I did what I imagine most do - go to the ear health section of the pharmacy and try LipoFlavonoid Plus, given its "50 years of ENT-proven efficacy" and being the "#1 recommended" treatment. Of course, I was dismayed when it did not work quickly...
