Not really sure to be honest. I’m thinking Ketamine therapy, if successful, MAY quiet brain signals or redirect or reconnect neural pathways. I’m convinced it’s all about the brain and less to do with the ear in my case. So who knows? But it may be worth the try. Just looking for some feedback.

I’m interested in a home Ketamine program called “Mindbloom”. Has anyone tried it?

Hi, It’s really late here in NY & the T is raging so I can’t sleep.. again. Just wanted to say hi. I just read another ad for another gadget to help with the T. Only $30! It’ll be the 100th $30 I’ve spent. Lol . I won’t buy it. But I may. Who knows? Anyway.. take care.

My latest “new” doctor is an endocrinologist. I wanted labs & a 24-hr urine test to see if I had a hormone issue. Everything, including glucose, came back negative. But she prescribed me Ozempic (0.25 mg) weekly injection because I’ve put on too much weight that has been extremely resistant to...

I recently came across an ad for “grounding” bed linens. Tinnitus was not listed amongst the ailments touted to be helped. But circulation and inflammation was. Any thoughts on this? They are quite expensive. One sheet & pillowcase over $200. Yes... desperate times; etc.

@EricJ, wishing you all the best with your CBG experiment. Yes, I’m still doing better on it than without it. I tested that out by not buying more when I ran out. After about a week, I got a loud buzzing in my bad ear that wouldn’t go away. I ordered a new bottle and after a few days, the...

After sleeping or napping from 5 minutes to 8 hours results in very loud Tinnitus spikes. At first I thought maybe it was the position of my head & neck. But that theory is not accurate as I have fallen asleep practically sitting straight up in my lounge chair and it’s the same results. It does...

@Ear Drummer, yes! I do these all too. They work great for tension, relaxation and my tinnitus related anxiety. But for some reason, the only exercise that seems to affect the tinnitus directly & positively is the PolyVagal exercise. I think it maybe because my tinnitus is more somatic. Although...

@Ctjbush, this exercise was recommended by my massage therapist, who showed it to me briefly. I then went to YouTube & found Sukie Baxters Vagus Nerve Reset videos. TBH I just clicked on the first one, but I now do several of her exercises. It’s very basic & extremely simple. Just lie back in...

For a month now, I’ve been doing the Polyvagal exercise. I find it definitely helps bring my tinnitus volume WAY down. I do it 2x a day (in the am & before bed) for approximately 1-2 minute each time. I also do it as needed when I get a spike. It’s demonstrated very well on YouTube. I hope...

My coffee limit is 2 cups a day. If I attempt more; it spikes. Regular tea (herbal is fine) gives me a huge spike within 15 minutes which can last over 24 hours.

The T is tamer. I realized that my terrible spikes are related to inflammation, anxiety & stress. Im learning to handle this aspect better.

Anyway... getting back to hearing aids. 8 years ago I started with a traditional hearing aid which a highly ineffective audiologist advised would help not only my hearing, but my tinnitus. It did help my hearing but nothing for my tinnitus. Surprise! As these things are pretty expensive as I’m...

@nuno1976 , hi; did you have the dry needling treatment? If so, did it help?

@lucy_snow; I took a 20 mg 6 day pack, tapering down over the 6 days. It is considered a low dose protocol. Like I mentioned, the tinnitus relief was temporary and came back not long after I finished the pack.

@lucy_snow, yes it did. It never went away but definitely got quieter. As soon as the Prednisone was out of my system, it slowly returned to its regular volume. I cannot get any doctor in my NY area to prescribe it for me.

@jimsocal, are you still taking the Piracetam?

@Uklawyer, I’m sticking with it. BUT since I use the CBG in MCT oil, I’m having gastrointestinal issues. Why not!!! Lol. So I cut back to taking one dose a day. It’s really helping more with my inflammation issues. The tinnitus is a bit quieter. The wake up morning tinnitus is a little softer &...

There is a private mental health group near my home in New York, USA that provides TMS therapy. I called about trying it for my tinnitus. The director/therapist said it’s only FDA approved for severe depression. They have a very strict protocol to access specific areas of the brain for...

After my 2 Pfizer COVID-19 shots, I had no spiking or side effects. But a week ago, I had my booster shot and the tinnitus is spiking like crazy! Yesterday I went to an orthopedic doctor about some pain in my shoulder & elbow. I’ve had it for a few months, but it’s gotten worse. Turns out I...

@Picassocat, thank you for the article and the telling of your experience. I am reconsidering taking a small (1ml) dose of the CBT along with the CBT. Of course, I gave away all my CBT to friends and have to reorder it. Lol.

@DaveFromChicago, that sucks; so sorry to hear this. In my case I know it’s helping me because I had a week without it and had a return of inflammation pain in my legs and the tinnitus was louder. I also had a bit more trouble falling asleep.

To have a “barely noticeable” tinnitus sounds like heaven to me.

@Cher2, yes. I’m still taking 50 mg 2x day. It definitely has softened the tinnitus and is helping with my inflammation and pain. In addition, my anxiety is reduced.

@David S, my humble opinion is that I’m impressed you have this certification at all. Here are some things I know about what I take: CBG Isolate from Lazarus Naturals Cannabis organically gown on their own farm in Central Oregon, USA Tincture crafted and packaged in their Portland, Oregon...

Update: Using the CBG alone 2x daily and the tinnitus continues to be quieter. I have less intense spikes and it subsides more quickly upon waking.

This is sure interesting. Does anyone have any idea if this particular stem cell therapy makes you immunocompromised? That’s not a safe position to be in especially in today’s world.

@T Toledo OH, sorry to hear that. Hopefully it can help with something else for you so it’s not wasted.

@GeorgeLG, it is better, but certainly not fully gone. Since only adding CBG and reducing my daily Tylenol, the swelling, pain & inflammation is down. I still have pain in my joints, but much less so.

My 18 day update: The CBG is doing a good job with my inflammation, so that’s why I believe my tinnitus is mostly under control. There’s a definite connection. The tinnitus is quieter, but still there 24/7. My anxiety is much better and I can control it better when it starts to act up. Also...

@GeorgeLG, so far after only 10 days, the CBG alone is helping a bit with the tinnitus. I’m prone to regular, loud & high pitched spikes. Only had a couple of quick ones. The mornings are usually very bad and long; now (so far) a bit less intense and definitely shorter in duration. I usually...

@T Toledo OH, good luck. Unfortunately after 3 weeks the CBD started to spike my tinnitus. I seem to be sensitive to it. I’m doing the CBD alone now. I’m coming up to 10 days & so far it’s good.

@object16, that’s really terrific that EMDR is helping you! My therapist has me reading “The Body Keeps The Score” for my mild PTSD. It’s helped a lot along with the CBG. SO much less anxious. Whatever clicks for us can only be good. Congratulations!

@T Toledo OH, great! Did you get the combo or the CBG alone?

@Hamsti, hi. No, I don’t take any pharmaceutical medications. Using CBG has only had good results for me (so far!). Lol.

@object16, no, not 120 HOURS; 120 MILES! (193 km). That's far for me. The CBG alone is holding its own for me so far. Fingers crossed! Your experiment sounds very interesting. All the best! Keep us informed.

@Uklawyer, I’m on my 5th day of the CBG alone. Tinnitus is stable & not worse so far. The magic day last time with the CBG:CBD combo was 21. I did have a couple of short spikes which resolved rather quickly. It’s at its baseline of 6-7/10. Morning tinnitus is horrendous as always, but seems to...

@DaveFromChicago, I don’t blame you at all. Maybe try it alone? The Lourdes Grotto trip sounds like a great idea. I’m into my 11th year and I’ve spent too much time and $ on my Don Quixote-like venture. My latest quest is the CBG and I’m praying it helps. I’m only into my 3rd day & it...

@Uklawyer, I'm interested in others' progress that are taking the CBG alone as well. I'm not getting much feedback. I'm going to take a break and report back my results weekly. So far the day is going well.

3rd day update on CBG alone: Usually my am wake up tinnitus is exceptionally loud & piercing & lasts 1-3 hours. This am after an 8 hour sleep (my average is 6 - 6 1/2 hours) my tinnitus was slightly muted AND lasted only about 45 minutes before it settled to a 7/10. For the last 2 hours, the...

@Uklawyer, yes; I did feel a bit tired so I did go to bed earlier & I slept in an extra hour for the 2nd time since starting the CBG. It was a quiet & rather lazy weekend, so hard to gauge it. Also, my body seems slow to adjust to anything new I consume including supplements & medications. So...

I think since the CBG:CBD combination reduced my general anxiety, it made me more relaxed (until the tinnitus went haywire). Having a lot of inflammation, I’m always fatigued, so not a great judge of any real change yet.

@Uklawyer, I’m taking a higher dose of the CBG alone. I’m (right now) taking a total of 75 mg (3 doses of 25 mg) a day. With the combo CBG:CBD, I was taking 40 mg (4 doses of 10 mg) a day. I did lower to 30 mg (10 mg 3x day) when the tinnitus started getting bad. I didn’t bother with going lower...

@Uklawyer, well it’s certainly not worse; if that’s anything. It’s 10:30 am here & my usual morning wake-up tinnitus call is “slightly” softer. Less piercing. That’s good of course. But it’s still there. The pain is also still there but maybe slightly less. Never sure if I’m just wishful...

@Chinmoku, that’s SO unfair! I’m so sorry that’s happening. Maybe try 10 ml? I’m thinking 50 mg may be too much myself. Last night I was excited and didn’t think it though. I need to start low and if need be, work my way up. Right now, it’s 8:30 am. I had a decent sleep with much dreaming. But...

So excited! My CBG tincture came & I just took my first dose of 1 ml which is 50 mg. It’s in MCT oil & tastes like crap, but I don’t care. It came just in time, because my leg joints are killing me, my head hurts & my tinnitus is obnoxiously loud. Hoping the anti-inflammatory properties are...

@Uklawyer, thank you; you are most kind. I did sleep well last night. Xanax is a last resort for me, but I must say it works! It lightens the pain & helps me sleep without adversely affecting the tinnitus. Except for the “it’s an addictive substance” part, it’s a marvelous drug. LOL! So I of...

I’ve had tinnitus over 11 years and the headaches would come & go, so I didn’t give them much thought. I usually was able to stop the pain with Tylenol. But these last few months, the headaches have been pretty much 24-7 with the tinnitus becoming louder. Tylenol still helps, but for just a...

My CBG delivery can’t get here soon enough! Since I’ve stopped the combination CBG:CBD, my pain has mostly returned. That was fast; only 2 1/2 days. It’s after midnight here in New York, USA. The tinnitus is loud and wants my undivided attention. I try to ignore it but am unsuccessful. Time for...

@object16, sorry to hear about your spike. I can imagine how disappointed you are. I hope you try again and get relief; maybe a lower dosage? Quality control may in fact, be the issue. So far my limited experience has only been with a pre-made product in MCT oil. Maybe putting it sublingually...

@kingsfan, I bought from an online company called Lazarus Naturals. But I believe it’s readily available now that the word is out.

@object16, so happy you didn’t take the end advice. What a horrible day or year or life that person must have been having. I’m also glad you found some comfort in the CBG. All the best. Keep posting!

Hi everyone, well we ARE the experimental group aren’t we? Lol. I definitely think inflammation IS the key. Neuro and otherwise; it plays havoc with me. I’d love to kick it to the curb. After reading all your comments, stats and observations, I feel slightly optimistic about taking the CBG...

Yesterday, I stopped taking the combination CBG:CBD tincture. I ordered the CBG alone & will take it ASAP with the hope that it continues to help with my inflammation, pain and swelling. I’m praying it was also responsible for the reduction of the tinnitus. I think the CBD is causing the...

@GeorgeLG, wow! I missed that! I just ordered the Lazarus Naturals Tincture Isolate CBG in the 60 ml bottle. It’s 50 mg per 1 ml. I’m going to start with 2 doses per day. Fingers crossed. Thank you.

Hi @Uklawyer & everybody. So I’m feeling a bit overwhelmed with figuring out this dosing and keeping the tinnitus at bay. I really wanted to take as less as possible, but now see I need more. I get it when you all say don’t go by ML, but rather by MG. Makes sense. I’ve done: -25 mg 4x day -...

This is my 3 week update: I truly wish I could say the tinnitus is better, but it’s not. In fact, on a 2 x a day dosage at the 3 week mark I feel the tinnitus is catching up to its true self. It’s not as smooth anymore - now a shriller. It’s trying to make a comeback & I’m going to make...

@Zugzug, so glad to see another pioneer conducting self experimentation using CBG. I confess I don’t know what exactly CBG Isolate is, how to purchase and how much to use, but I’m curious as heck. Please... Do tell.

@DaveFromChicago, that’s so awful you had such a terrible spike. I pray it’s gone or at least much better. I also sincerely hope it wasn’t from the CBG. So far, it’s helping me. But from what I’m reading from Uklawyer & Lukee, there’s a very good chance it’s probably because my particular type...

@Uklawyer, inflammation in general seems to be involved in everything. Anything that can “naturally” quell it is something to investigate in my book. When I take any type of anti-inflammation prescription (except Prednisone) or over the counter drug, the tinnitus goes into a major meltdown. I...
