    @crescentsky They’ve been saying “ten years” for over like twenty years now lol. We seem to be in a good spot right now with research though. Let’s hope something pulls through this time. Lucky ass mice. Just give me my shot of ear healing gel already.

    Tinnitus Doesn't Bother Me + I Develop Cool Software

    @Contrast, I’ve seen you come up quite a lot in the old threads on Tinnitus Talk during the years I spent lurking. It’ll be sad to see you go, but I’m sure I’m not alone when I say you will be missed. You should be proud of your hard work, and congratulations that you’re making big leaps for...

    Sound Pharmaceuticals (SPI-5557 & SPI-1005)

    Wish I could say the same. Whenever I get sick or just really stuffy, mine goes haywire. Getting severely sick is what actually gave me a permanent worsening last year.

    Can Magnesium Make Tinnitus Worse?

    I just wanted to resurrect this thread and share my two cents. I’ve been taking Magnesium Glycinate and L-Threonate (Magtein) for over a year now since discovering their benefits for the ears. I can happily report that I’ve had no spikes whatsoever related to taking them. I try to take...

    I responded to someone on the Susan Shore thread about how people just like vent on this forum and I said well yeah, it’s a SUPPORT forum. That’s what it’s for. You will get all colors of the emotions wheel here and that’s okay. It’s what it’s for. It’s why we’re here for each other.

    Really? That’s a first for me. I’m sorry that happened to you though. Fortunately I don’t really take B vitamins that much except the occasional B12 when my diet hits the curb (which is usually most of the time). I’ve drank Vitamin Water in the past a lot and it says it contains 100% of your...

    Ugh I know the feeling. I’ve tried speaking out about it but of course nobody understands and acts like I’m overreacting. Well when I can hear someone clear as day smashing pots and pans all the way from my room with the door shut, I’m just glad I’m in here and not over there.

    I’ve taken a lot supplements the past few years but nothing too out of the ordinary. Basic stuff like magnesium, zinc, vit A/C/E, D3, fish/algae oil. Can happily say they never gave me eye issues. Have you looked into setting up an appointment with a doctor or a specialist to get your floaters...

    I’m almost positive that will come to light. Few people are ready to drop a few grand on anything anytime soon. This is from Dr. Shore’s Q&A if it helps;

    Hopefully they do. I'd be surprised if they didn’t considering it could potentially ruin the image of the company and possibly Dr. Shore herself.

    Poll: Would You Trade Your Tinnitus for a 5-Year Prison Sentence?

    I think even people with mild tinnitus would say yes. Sure, prison isn’t glamorous, but neither is a chronically debilitating condition with VERY limited treatment options and no cure.

    Always had minor but visible floaters before and after T first came around. I ran a course of oral prednisone a few weeks ago and ever since then I’ve noticed more floaters. I guess it’s a possible side effect.

    Post Your Favorite Anime/Cartoons

    Call me basic, but FMA:B was my introduction to anime, and wow, did it blow my socks off. It's truly one of the greatest things I’ve ever watched. I’ve also had the pleasure of reading the entire manga. I love it. I really liked Black Lagoon, too, and I’m sure I speak for a lot of other...

    It’ll be interesting to see how it plays out with insurance plans as well. My guess is that most, if not all, of it will be out of pocket. I would also expect it to be similar to Lenire in pricing except I’d feel happier with my purchase.

    Honestly if they don’t believe in either condition they need to be reported because that’s dangerous. Complete lack of care or compassion. These are the kinds of people that give genuine audiologists and ENTs a bad name.

    Modulation of Gut Microbiome as a Therapeutic Modality for Auditory Disorders

    I did some searching around and it looks like B. adolescentis can be found in a couple different supplements across the internet. B. dentium is apparently still in the research phase and isn’t available for human usage in food or supplements yet. This therapeutic website sells it but has it...

    Last week I walked out back late at night and in the distance a firework was launched. Loud enough to startle me but not loud enough to cause damage I don’t think. Hard for me to tell if it spiked since my T fluctuates constantly. I’m hoping your spike goes soon though.

    Tinnitus Hell Caused by Rabies or Tetanus Vaccine

    This is the first time I’ve ever read about either shot causing tinnitus. I’m sorry this happened to you. I just looked up online and found this report of a man who got a rabies vaccine and, within 24 hours, started to experience hearing loss and vertigo. It might be worth a read. → Sudden...

    Mild Tinnitus Got Worse After Sudden Firecracker Sound During a Twitch Stream

    Did it come from the stream itself? Jeez, that’s terrible. I really hope that things get better for you soon. I was fiddling around in Audacity last year and accidentally blasted some static sound into my headphones at almost max volume. I had my hand on the spacebar and stopped it...

    Acid Reflux Leading to ETD (Eustachian Tube Dysfunction)?

    Despite the device taking longer than we’d all like to come to market, I think we’d rather it get there methodically and safely instead of being rushed without a second thought. Plus, it’s essentially the closest treatment option we have to look forward to right now, minus a few other ventures...

    Steroids: Prednisone / Dexamethasone / Others (Oral and Intratympanic Injections)

    Is this still true? If you search “Is Prednisone ototoxic?” on Google, there are (at least from what I saw) five websites that come up on the first page saying glucocorticoids like Prednisone and Dexamethasone are ototoxic. All of them say that the potential for it to occur depends on how much...
