As in nanoparticles that are able to deliver drugs to specific areas of the inner ear?

I don't agree with @Nick47 entirely either, but I believe his advice comes from a place of care. Not all our tinnitus is the same. I personally notice a vast difference between my local cinema & concerts, for example, but everyone is different. My very severe reactive tinnitus has settled...

@LovableGamer, to be honest, I'm only optimistic about Rinri.

Is this chart from the initial 4-week trial? As I recall, and it's been a while since I've read the papers, the 4-week trial did not show lasting improvement, but the 6-week trial did. The stumbling block was that in the 6-week trial, the control placebo group did not show improvement when they...

This sounds pretty cool! So we might see trials for hearing loss with this nanotechnology? It should restore hearing? That is what I gather from reading this.

I personally know a guy who has been on Clonazepam for seven years now, taking 6 mg daily in three 2 mg doses. He never stops trying to encourage me to give it a try as well, in order to cope better with my tinnitus, which is the reason he takes it. On top of that, he takes it together with an...

Tinnitus is one of the four main symptoms used to characterize Meniere's disease, along with vertigo, ear pressure and (low-frequency) hearing loss.

I had the surgery 5 days ago. I'll be posting an update here within the next two months once I know the results. If two months go by and I have forgotten to update, feel free to reply to this comment to let me know.

Hey Beth, thanks so much. I appreciate this insight. I'm not a vegetarian, but honestly, I have been trying to pay more attention to my diet, especially with this tinnitus. I would love to know what additions you made! (or things you removed too). I've started on the very basic tips, like...

How is your T ? Hope you are doing well. Have not seen you around here in awhile.

Thanks very much for writing that up - it helps clarify a few things. Given that Dr. Carlson is a surgeon, it makes a lot of sense that he would partner with Cochlear on R&D. As a side note, I think I remember reading somewhere that the intra-tympanic procedures may end up being used to...

My journey has been 4 years with no help from doctors. The most helpful things were comments from this forum and listening to others here. I don’t have hearing loss. Look into any medications you take, because many are toxic to your ears, and the same goes for supplements. I started with...

@Jcb, knock knock?

i’m sad

Hi, thank you so much for your words and your time. I appreciate it. I didn't realize how much of a mental battle this was going to be. Some days are okay; meanwhile, the hard days are where my anxiety/thoughts about this all spiral. It feels like every day I have to actively choose to push...

No problem. While it’s, shall we say, a sensitive subject, I feel it’s better that people are informed about the fact that it really isn’t as easy to do as many presume. It can have catastrophic consequences if it goes wrong with pretty much any method. It should ideally always be done through...

Sounds like you have migraines, @mandyc.

@stickynotes, you will eventually habituate, I have faith. You have also made good decisions going forward. You can listen to music, though, and I encourage you to. Just not too loud or too long.

@MrConall, hi, taking issue with me or not, I have had this condition since 2015. I used to be a DJ, in fact. I also have personal experience using headphones for a Zoom meeting a little over a month ago. Let's say it did not help me. I would suggest reading the posts of @Michael Leigh, who has...

BosSTENT Implantation to Treat Pulse-Synchronous Tinnitus (B-SILENT) Recruiting will probably open up in a few weeks. They're enrolling 90! That's the largest tinnitus implant trial I've seen yet. Come on, guys! Help them achieve this enrollment goal! Share and consider participating! Here's a...

God, it's good to hear those stories. Thanks for sharing that! I can help clarify this: It seems like Dr. Carlson is an early-stage R&D partner with Cochlear. They supplied the devices for his first trial with 22 people. It seems that in the published trial with 22 participants, participants...

Hi everyone, I’m hoping to hear from people who’ve been in a similar situation. I recently had to start Mirtazapine (7.5–15 mg) because I was dealing with severe insomnia and anxiety. I tried every nonmedication option first, including CBT, breathing and relaxation exercises, sound therapy...

Today I read a wonderful success story about someone on Reddit who received a cochlear implant. He developed horrendous tinnitus in one of his ears because of Menière’s disease and lived with it for 13 years. He wanted to give up many times, and then, when he finally received the implant, he...

The Nodfather at nappy time. The good president - MAGA approved.

Nick, I take issue with the way you state your opinion. It's not a fact that anyone with tinnitus can't responsibly use earbuds again. It's not a fact that we can't go to bars and socialize with others with the proper precautions. I've personally only been made more anxious by your assertion...

Hello, I’m relatively new here since I only recently created my account, although I’ve followed Tinnitus Talk since 2021. I’ve had bilateral tinnitus since the age of 12, and I’m now 25. It first appeared in my right ear and later in my left as a very faint ringing. During my teenage years, I...

No orange paint. Hmmmm. Probably wanting to visit the island, you know, bless the little girls.

A paedophile protector, a paedophile and his accomplice. Nice photo @Luman.

my 30th birthday is 30th January, planning to return up into the stars & asteroids then. Tinnitus, unexplained foot pain & crippling depression is too big a hole and I can't face what my life has become.

America's own "Sleeping Beauty" is gonna get the "Peace-Price" awarded to him, in a few hours. Will it be given to him by an international sports association of all things? Is it for his tireless work to keep women out of men's sports? I call for VAR, to take a look at this!

Thanks for that. Going to a hospital would be awful right now with no control over noise, light or smells. All affect me. Sorry to hear the pain hasn't gone away though. I hope it is a spike and will go down soon. Pain from it is very intense.

May I ask how old you are? I use it once or twice a week because of my panic attacks caused by ear issues. It has been 8 to 9 months at 0.5 mg.

Pope John Paul II, Ghislaine Maxwell, and Jeffrey Epstein.

I'm really sorry to hear you're going through all this, actually your current state sounds a bit like my experience, I can tell you my loudness hyperacusis did eventually resolve for the most part albeit the pain unfortunately remains if not as constant but I can now handle one-on-one...

Thank you!

I must admit, the fact that Hegseth is of 100 percent Norwegian heritage stings a bit. But it’s also true that his ancestors came from a region of Norway known for generations of incestuous affairs. Maybe that’s why he blends so well with the U.S. lead heads? ;) Anyway, keep killing those...

That's pretty encouraging. I'm going into 12 weeks, and from what I've read, along with my symptoms, my Eustachian tube is inflamed but not totally closed. I get fluttering when I yawn and burp, which I didn't have during the first couple of weeks. Right now, this is a life-changer for me. I'm...

Completely agree. But the more the merrier? Maybe research will move faster?

I will 2nd that. This requires great commitment from all patients. If you're reading, come join us. X https://tinnitusquest.com/quiet/

Be careful with wind at high speeds. It is a broadband sound, covering a wide range of frequencies all at once.

Hey everyone, For a while, I wanted to post about my habituation to living with tinnitus, but these days, I think it’s more interesting to share that I’m one of those people who managed to get their pain hyperacusis back to a milder variant of loudness hyperacusis. My tinnitus story isn’t all...

I just read the Tinnitus Hackathon report and thought it was great. When I read the names of attendees at the bottom, I saw Nicolas Gninenko's name, who is the CEO of Neurosoft. Was there any update regarding their clinical trial? Have they hit any roadblocks, or are they still on schedule to...

My tinnitus onset was back in late 2015. I haven't dared to use earbuds, headphones, or anything like that since then. Despite that, my tinnitus has kept worsening. If I had to give a piece of advice to anyone with tinnitus, it would be: Never use headphones again.

Hi Paulie! We share that same feeling of failing our dearest ones. This condition can be that debilitating. I’ve dealt with tinnitus for 10 years, having some long spikes here and there but still remaining functional and generally upbeat, despite it being very intrusive and harsh. Somehow...

Hi, thank you so much for asking. It depends on the day. Some days when I’m really busy with work and whatnot, I am able to forget about it. I still always remember it at nighttime, though, when it’s really quiet, and the tinnitus is really loud. But some days, I grieve the days without...

It might be possible -- or even likely that it helps Meniére's patients who also suffer from tinnitus... a niche group I freely admit. I seem to recall reading that tinnitus can accompany Meniére's. But I wouldn't bet the farm on it.

@starlight, did you take the Prednisone after all, and how are you now?

Hi all, I wanted to post an update here because I’m dealing with extreme hyperacusis, which my doctor has labelled as otitis. This started in February this year. I caught a virus and developed intense tinnitus. I tried to push through it, but it became extremely painful. The tinnitus eased...

Yes, and taking low-dose Naltrexone opens up a whole load of pain and other issues.

Thank you, @Nes and @SafeMusicFan, for giving me hope. I'm only 7 and a half months in and expecting my hyperacusis to be better, as so many people on here seem to notice improvements by month 7. I was getting pretty despondent about it all.

I am looking forward to seeing the info regarding the 2025 grants that will come soon. I urge you all to donate whenever you can, no matter how small the amount. I will continue to donate here and there whenever possible. I am grateful to Tinnitus Quest for helping raise awareness of the issue...

@Nick47, I normally wear just a noise-cancelling headset. Since I was unfamiliar with the car, I thought I should wear double protection. Sometimes double seems to be worse, though. What @tobyharrixon said, sometimes the low frequency seems to get trapped and actually makes it louder. I didn't...

It’s just so unfair that what should have been a pleasant experience has turned into something that caused a spike. I’m 7 and a half months in and I feel like I’m getting worse. I seem less able to tolerate sounds now than I could in the beginning. I’m frightened that my sound tolerance seems to...
