I assure you when I try this I will post back in this thread (and maybe create a new one) to let others know what happened. Based on my history I'm not optimistic, but I'm more hopeful than usual because I haven't (yet) found anyone taking anywhere near the doses I'm thinking of for their...

Not sleeping well definitely impacts my tinnitus but diet not so much (that I've noticed). I agree not one supplement will work for everyone because it seems there are so many different causes. However if the theory about antibiotic (resistant) biofilms causing most cases of tinnitus is true...

Ah so it was an all in one pill. Thanks for that. I'm no expert on the matter but apparently D3 in liquid spray form is better absorbed by the body compared to a pill. I do not know for sure how true that really is. I know it is recommend to take a spray with a tablet of K2 for better...

Thanks for letting me know, I have taken 10,000 IUs in the past for a day or two but noticed zero effect on my tinnitus. I'm currently getting around 5000 IUs a day using a liquid D3 spray. Again no difference. I don't know if you saw the study I posted in response to Greg Sacramento, but...

Thank you and I hope your tinnitus calms down and returns to baseline soon. May I ask what form did you take the D3 in? Was it a tablet, liquid or D3 lamp?

To summarize, - The amount of Vitamin D you can take before reaching toxicity levels has varied greatly over the decades and varies between country to country. What is considered toxic in one is consider fine or too low in another. There have also been absurd maximum level tolerance levels...

Thank you for your useful report. May I ask how much Vitamin D3 did you take?

I'm sorry for your experience. This is what I feared because if the dosages he was taking was effective for the majority, it would have been major news on Tinnitus Talk long before I posted this thread. This is why I want to try a super high one off dose to see what happens.

The limit regarding Vitamin D toxicity can vary greatly depending on the study, I have read a theory that Tinnitus caused specifically from Ear infections, might potentially respond to very high dosages of Vitamin D. This is due to the idea that antibiotic resistant biofilms (caused by the ear...

Yes it is, from what I gather it is very good for your immune system.

There is a video on YouTube of a guy claiming Vitamin D3 helped his tinnitus. Across the videos he says he takes (or took) Vitamin D3 in the range of 30,000+ IUs per day. If anyone has tried super high dosages of Vitamin D3 for tinnitus, can you say how many IUs you took a day and for how...

Thanks very much for that study LadyDi I had not seen it before. It was very interesting to read. Yes I too have never heard of this particular procedure before yet it was done almost 20 years ago? Looks like it has potential so I wonder why it isn't more well known?

It was quite a long time ago but I think I did both the original and some variation's that claimed to be a more simpler and effective version of the original method. I recognise one of the videos on the sidebar from magnus tapping that was sent to me to try. I honestly experienced nothing from...

I did actually try this years ago and It made absolutely no difference to anything let alone my tinnitus. Stuff like this sometimes seems to be effective for some individuals for certain conditions but in my opinion anything that happens is likely a placebo effect. Having said that it is not...

I think they are referring to treatments which will cure Tinnitus but won't cost you your hearing. If you have your Cochlear nerve severed like in these studies then you will obviously be completely deaf.

I apologize but I must disagree with Meeruf on this I'm afraid. I never had any cracking popping or clicking sounds in my ears before I got Tinnitus. Other people I know have had the same experience with this. Nothing before Tinnitus but afterwards all sorts of strange noises and sensations when...

I agree 100% that would seem to be a rather obvious thing they could do. Here is another study from the same people in the previous abstract I posted. It shows promise in my opinion. Abstract We investigated the effect of low-level laser radiation on rescuing hair cells of the cochlea...

Yes that is correct, unfortunately that study was only effective for people with an anomaly of their temporal bone.

For anyone interested a study was done last year on rats which was first study that has demonstrated the beneficial effect of LLLT on the recovery of cochlear hair cells. Abstract Cochlear hair cells are the sensory receptors of the auditory system. It is well established that antibiotic drugs...

@Owch, thank you for looking into this. It appears to me that this was yet another study that was deliberately designed to fail. It's strange how they cannot just duplicate what Wilden does and then we would have a clearer idea of whether his protocol is effective when tested independently...

Hello, it's on my to try list for Tinnitus but quite low down. I'm doubtfull it will help as I think something this complex requires more then simply taking some pills. However I don't know that for sure so if you try it please let us know how you got on!

Habituation is really just a fancy term for 'you will get used to it. ENT talk is a good way to describe it. Sort of like an Anatomist telling someone to initiate the supine position when everyone else just tells you to start lying on your back.

Well I'm afraid Lucas you did a rather poor job at explaining things as the 'real trials' you spoke of have given us many medications which in fact killed people and severely poisoned them before they were eventually withdrawn. Your objective knowledge of LLLT was also found to be lacking to put...

Luca what is your purpose for joining Tinnitus talk? You only started posting here immediatlely after theedgeofscience made his very first journal entry on sunday. He has already started his treatment so what is the point of your rather strange tone of posts? What do you hope to achieve? If...

If there is nothing to disprove why do you mention studies which claim to 'disprove' LLLT? It is also quite easy to replicate the exact protocol Wilden uses. Yet so far his critics seem unable to do such a simple thing? It is illogical to use a much weaker strength laser for a significantly...

Many treatments in Medicine have fulfilled the requirements you have listed yet lots have been taken off market for the detrimental effects they have had on patients. Yet were labelled safe and effective and passed clinical trials. I agree with you though there are those that take advantage of...

The topic of LLLT is not anywhere near as clear cut as you seem eager to make out. The studies discrediting it all seem to use a very low power output for a significantly shorter period of time. Off the top of my head one was something like 6 minutes once a week for 3 or 4 weeks at a very low...

There has been a thread about this already see below to get up to speed https://www.tinnitustalk.com/threads/menieres-disease-%E2%80%9C100-percent-cured%E2%80%9D-after-stem-cell-procedure-in-germany.1460/ Dana still has Tinnitus but says all his other Menieres symptoms are gone. He...

Very well put Hudson. I agree with you 100%

Thank you so much for sharing your experience with the rest of us like this! I truly wish you the best and sincerely hope it can work for you. Good luck!

Oh Calin I'm so sorry to hear what you have gone through recently. That is just awful for anyone to have to endure. Wish I could say something more to help but know we are here for you on TT. My thoughts are with you

Here is another study showing some people's Tinnitus being cured through surgery. Seventy-four patients were operated on within a period of 10 years to treat incapacitating tinnitus; 72 underwent microvascular decompression (MVD) of the intracranial portion of the auditory nerve, and 2...

Thank you for posting that article from the lancet. Yes Tinnitus is a very strange condition. Just when you think you might have deciphered some pattern to it more evidence emerges to contradict it. It's not suprising that the medical professionals have had a hard time figuring it out. However...

No probs Danny! Happy to help! :)

With regard to what Jastreboff wrote I believe it's important to bear in mind he is selling a product that is Tinnitus retraining therapy which he profits from. The more people pay to have TRT through him the more money he makes it's that simple. So it's important to bear in mind what he says is...

Unfortunately out of 151 cases 7 reported no improvement at all but lost their hearing as a result so it is no guarantee. In my opinion it is far too big a risk for anyone to seriously consider this procedure. I posted this study because it provides evidence that for some at least the problem is...

I thought this had already been posted as a stand alone thread but I was mistaken so here it is. Cochlear nerve section for intractable tinnitus Abstract Tinnitus is a common and often very disturbing symptom. The majority of patients can now be successfully treated either by conservative...

Erik is right here Tinnitus is alot more common then people realize. You could make an argument for lower back pain being genetic if you have it and your parents have it etc. Just because someone in your family has the same thing doesn't mean it's genetic. Dr Stuart Mcgill the who is considered...

I don't personally believe Tinnitus can be genetically passed on and as of 2013 I'm not aware of any scientific evidence to support that claim. It certainly isn't true in my family at least. However I would lean towards what Sven said in that perhaps people's ears whether weak or strong might...

Piper who told you this was genetic? Was it a medical professional? Are there any papers to support this idea? I ask because I'am the only one in my family on both sides across all generations with Tinnitus so unless I'm secretly adopted and no-one told me there is no genetic component with me...

Robert, let me offer you some advice. Making sweeping generalisations and assumptions like you have been doing on this site is going to rub certain people up the wrong way. On another thread recently some people took issue with your curious dismissal of their condition based solely on your own...

I'm unsure of all the details because I have not seen the full paper yet. However I can certainly understand why surgeons are reluctant because as the paper shows it's not 100% guaranteed that the Tinnitus will disappear and of course there is no going back once it's been done. The world of...

Well I certainly don't advocate anyone becoming deaf to try and cure their Tinnitus! It's a good paper though to highlight that at least in some cases of Tinnitus the problem is actually located in the inner ear region and not the brain. EPFL and Harvard medical school have got together to...

Of course it remains speculation at this point but I thought you might find it interesting nevertheless. There are many ideas of where Tinnitus originates. Some say the brain and some say the ear or maybe it's both? Regardless I found this paper quite intriguing see below...

I think you may both be interested in reading this, http://www.acoustics.org/press/159th/liberman.htm It talks about the evidence emerging that significant degeneration of the cochlear nerve occurs after noise exposure, even when there is no hair cell loss, and even when hearing thresholds...

Hi Jazz, yeah there isn't much about this type of treatment which seems to be a modified form of PRP. There are some studies done on PRP however the ones I read about were all for orthopaedic problems. They do look very encouraging though and there is obviously potential for ear problems as...

Update everyone and I'm afraid it's bad news. Someone has managed to get in touch with Dana white to ask him the question and unfortunately yes he does still have Tinnitus. I'ii paste his reply here, I still have that but it is NOTHING compared To minieres. Craig Paligian has it too and...

I find it very confusing how the ATA could violate it's own policy like this for such a long period of time? This is not some simple oversight. Even the name 'Soundcure' is an insult to Tinnitus sufferers because it doesn't 'cure' anything

For those who do not know Soundcure (http://www.soundcure.com/) is the corporate sponsor of the ATA. They are a business that makes it money from selling tinnitus relief products. If Tinnitus was cured their customer base would cease to exist so to me that raises questions as to their motivation...

I would seriously doubt it is hereditary as I'm the only one in my entire family on both sides across all generations that has Tinnitus!

As T-man has already explained any number of things can cause hearing loss which are not noise related. In my own case I came down with a very severe ear infection at 16 which caused my hearing loss and Tinnitus. Before that everything was normal.

Well maybe ignore was probably the wrong word in this context but I was referring to the fact the original damage which causes Tinnitus is not being addressed in this procedure. Re-wiring in my opinion is just skirting round the problem. It's not something I believe will be effective.

Hi OBkB, They also do this in New York too, http://www.nyspinemedicine.com/procedures/regenokine-injection-system-treatment-for-osteoarthritis.php I'ii have to go back check properly when I've got time but if I remember correctly the difference in Germany is that they incubate the blood...

I have to add that I'm only in my mid 20's and got Tinnitus when I was 16 so it wasn't like 40 years ago that I remember hearing silence! I should have said as well I also had hearing tests in a soundproof room in my school and would occasionally stay in there afterwards if a friend was also...

It's an interesting theory but my experience tells me that minor acute Tinnitus is certainly not a problem everyone has. I have had friends and family sit in with me when I have had hearing tests in soundproof rooms and all they heard was silence. My Grandma is in her 70's and frequently sits in...

I suppose we define failure differently. I define it as an inability to cure or at least substantially reduce the tinnitus noise in a number on people. Sorry to sound negative but I've had this for quite a while and seen hype like this before. I simply see it as an ineffective method and so...

That is correct when the cochlear nerve (Or the entire nerve pathway) is completely severed you are deaf. Obviously this is not a recommended procedure but it highlights that for certain cases at least the Tinnitus noise is generated from the Inner ear. So by severing the connection the brain no...

Karl I really think your idea has alot of merit. Keep at it!

Hi Rich, it's difficult to say really, high impact exercises can sometimes make my tinnitus worse but it's only temporary. I stopped jogging many years ago but I do sometimes do HIIT exercises using Kettlebells or very occasionally sprinting. That's does make it louder for a little while...
