    Lion's Mane Mushroom

    I am still doing well with it. Cycling it though due to it having a negative effect on sexual drive.

    Lion's Mane Mushroom

    So. I just have to write this since I feel it is warranted although I'm only on day three. I have tried many different things to keep control of my tinnitus and I must say my mind is blown by my latest combo. I discontinued my old regimen and for the past three days I have been using Innate...

    Is It True Some Members Cured Their Reactive Tinnitus with Keppra or Other Seizure Medications?

    I will tell you this. Biggest part of it for me was a kind of acceptance. Whatever happens I will push through and adapt. Also sometimes I realized that since my tinnitus changes from time to time, I see it from a positive note since a change in it is a respite from the monotony of the sounds...

    Is It True Some Members Cured Their Reactive Tinnitus with Keppra or Other Seizure Medications?

    Well. I had extreme stress for about 4 months with a tinnitus that felt like 100 dB in both ears and head. On top of a hyperacusis that started at 42 dB. After taking my first pill I felt that it mattered less. So I figured I should continue. Took about a month to be able to listen to something...

    Is It True Some Members Cured Their Reactive Tinnitus with Keppra or Other Seizure Medications?

    I would say that the negative effects of Keppra wasn't worth it, I also wasn't sure that I could account for the change with it. Biggest change was with Zoloft. Changed a lot. Sadly people react differently to meds. One person's poison is another one's savior.

    Lenire — Bimodal Stimulation Treatment by Neuromod

    So it kinda seems that the rebrand of Neuromod and offering psychotherapy and hearing aids shows that it doesn't work even closely as advertised.

    Fudan University's Huperzine A Tinnitus Study

    It has no effect on my hyperacusis. That has steadily improved from the worst days. My hyperacusis is now in very good levels even before trying Huperzine A. I have quite pleasant dreams on Huperzine A. Generally all positive and crazily without tinnitus which I haven't had for quite a long...

    Fudan University's Huperzine A Tinnitus Study

    200 mcg after breakfast usually. I haven´t tried to take a second dose as a trial due to the Acetylcholine buildup, but I will continue to take the 200 mcg for about 14 days before having a flush out period to confirm its effects. It is indeed interesting. The amount of thinning of the tinnitus...

    Fudan University's Huperzine A Tinnitus Study

    Sorry to hear that you have gotten this side effect. I did some digging and found some interesting tidbits. Pharmacokinetics of huperzine A following oral administration to human volunteers - Huperzine A acts as a reversible inhibitor of AChE and antagonist of the NMDA receptor. - It is also...

    Fudan University's Huperzine A Tinnitus Study

    So I just got some Huperzine A in the mail and took 200 mcg two hours ago and must say that the first effect is interesting. I feel less brain fog. It might be placebo but that does indeed help not focusing on tinnitus. I will continue the test and report back in a week.

    Conflicting Info: Is Hydroxyzine (Atarax/Vistril) Ototoxic or Not?

    Couldn't say. That time was too extreme to find one particular day since there were way too many compounding things.
  14. Krolo

    Conflicting Info: Is Hydroxyzine (Atarax/Vistril) Ototoxic or Not?

    It did indeed. Of all the meds I was trying that time all the Antihistamine based ones sent my tinnitus through the roof. Nowadays I swear by Melatonin, Taurine and an occasional Oxazepam.

    Nah. I dabbed with Keppra for a month but wouldn't touch that in a million years now.

    For New and Old Tinnitus Sufferers, Please Read My Story. From Living Hell and Back.

    Well it is hard to say really but things I use: NAC, Niagen, Taurine, Lenire, a YouTube channel with tinnitus treatment, meditation, ALCAR, GABA tea and Oxazepam. All have different uses and I don't use everything at a time. Depending on how my tinnitus and my sleep is, I use different...

    For New and Old Tinnitus Sufferers, Please Read My Story. From Living Hell and Back.

    Tinnitus is not reactive anymore. My hyperacusis is still around but it is basically uncomfortable in a full bar environment. Tinnitus is still there with some good and some bad days. I'm working and studying to keep busy and working out. I've been on quite a few different regimens with various...

    Help Needed: Remeron, Olanzapine, the Tinnitus and Now the Hyperacusis Pain

    I was on this for about 3 days in the end since it was a really bad match for me. What worked for me was Zoloft.

    Lenire — Bimodal Stimulation Treatment by Neuromod

    Hey Lurius, In regards to the 2nd setting, I had about 2 days of extreme quiet on that setting at the beginning but it quickly turned into a really bad experience so I was using it for about 7 days before calling it quits. Things did stabilize after that and feels like any bad things from 2nd...

    @hans799 Thank you for your testimony here. Made me pull my thumb out of my ass and write a little bit of an overdue user report <3 Hope your tinnitus dies down to the regular level! I hope that the Neuromodulation gets paired with proper Machine learning and EEG monitoring. This is probably...

    Lenire — User Experiences and Reviews

    An update after almost 6 months of Lenire. First of all I would like to say that it is truly hard to gauge how I would have felt not using Lenire at this point in time. Positives are that I do feel that my mind feels clearer and most of all my hyperacusis is lower. Both of these things can be...

    Lenire — Bimodal Stimulation Treatment by Neuromod

    I guess this is up to each person, ain´t it. I took the risk. Since I figured that I have already been through hell and know what it feels like and if I could get an improvement with Lenire it would be worth the risk. To each its own. In regards to Lenire success stories, I would consider...

    Lenire — Bimodal Stimulation Treatment by Neuromod

    There is no sensation in the brain, but when I ramped up the stimulation to max it felt like my cricket tinnitus got aggravated. I do find it logical that the strength of the stimulus has to have some kind of important effect that I feel Neuromod might be disregarding. When I dabbled with...

    Lenire — Bimodal Stimulation Treatment by Neuromod

    I do still have loud tinnitus when I wake up. It is not as loud as before but still loud when I wake up compared to the high pitched tone that it becomes as soon as I start doing things during the day. And yes it is less intrusive. I see my progress as a stock on the stock market. It goes up...

    Lenire — Bimodal Stimulation Treatment by Neuromod

    I think there are in general more components to this and it's not as easy. I would say my tinnitus was at its worst stage 10 on a scale of 1 to 10. I had a 5 month stint with 30+ tinnitus sounds where most of those were at a perceived level of about a loud concert. 24/7. My emotional reaction...

    Lenire — Bimodal Stimulation Treatment by Neuromod

    Hey Pinks. Sorry to hear that you are struggling with the unit. Do try to maybe lower the stimulus intensity or the sound depending on what feels better. Try using it once per day or doing both sessions one after another. I have been through the same things with the unit and do also have some...

    Lenire — User Experiences and Reviews

    Sort of 9 week update. Let me start by saying that the last few days have been quite quiet. Quiet like never before my huge spike in September 2019. Still quite far of from how I had it before. Now for the rollercoaster ride and some thoughts. When I travelled for my 6-week follow up I still...

    Alright everyone. I just arrived at the clinic for my 6 week follow up. Although it's really 7 weeks since it was New Year's and all. Anyway I will post in the Lenire User Experiences thread in the next couple of days for sure. For me it has definitely been worth the cost and effort for sure. If...

    Lenire — Bimodal Stimulation Treatment by Neuromod

    Thing is when they set the masking level of the white noise, I still had a left ear tinnitus that could be heard quite loud so I turned up the volume 3 steps and it seemed to have some kind of a better effect on it. Just to clarify. The MML test with the white noise is truly just your subjective...

    Lenire — Bimodal Stimulation Treatment by Neuromod

    I don't recall why Neuromod opted for 2x 30 minutes or 1x 60 minutes per day for the treatment duration. Was it for user compliance reasons or was doing 2x 60 minutes worse or not better? Or was it not tested?

    Lenire — Bimodal Stimulation Treatment by Neuromod

    It's not so much about the prediction. Relating to Lenire and other treatments for tinnitus it would be interesting what effect it has on the signaling of the brain. Since we can measure it and at least Brai3n in Belgium has an array of different tinnitus treatment options and are apparently on...

    Lenire — Bimodal Stimulation Treatment by Neuromod

    I do wonder if EEG measurements before and after would be an indicator for what is happening. According to a paper by Sven Vanneste and others there were some EEG similarities between tinnitus and depression.

    @Mentos @Sironketchup The cricket part of the sound is mainly in my left ear but can travel to head and right ear from time to time. Mind you that at the worst time I had almost infinite amount of sounds in my head and through different steps + time it seems that Lenire might put another dent...

    Lenire — Bimodal Stimulation Treatment by Neuromod

    In regards to Lenire I would like to put some thoughts up in here. I was told that one should be relaxed and not do anything active like computer, TV etc but apparently reading is ok. I opted to go for full on meditative state with closed eyes to keep my mind as chill as possible. What have...

    Thanks mate! No, they did that last time around. This time just device demo, pickup and pay. will try to stick them at the same time mostly yeah. Figured a 12 hour in between should be optimal. Yeah I took some pics but it's mainly on food, dunno how to share them here though haha.

    Hey all, So, Day 1. Picking up the Lenire. Super professional experience, went through the unit etc and had a 15 minute try out to see how it felt. I feel that the sounds are quite relaxing and not really annoying at all. I actually have had a reaction to beeps during Audiology testing but...

    Antidepressants (SSRIs, SNRIs, MAOs, TCAs, TeCAs)

    It came quite quickly after going on 100mg and is still there In a sense when it's quiet. I used sertraline for about 5 months at a 50mg level. Then discontinued and started using Modafinil instead which has been nothing short of amazing.

    Tinnitus + Brain Fog and Modafinil

    I will deffo stick with it. It is by far the most interesting compound I have tried. I would say that the most profound effect was the first time I tried it. Later on it still has the same effect I just don't get as suprised of it. Mind you that I can't guarantee it helps you or worsens your...

    Tinnitus + Brain Fog and Modafinil

    So here is the thing. After reading reports of tinnitus getting better with Modafinil I took the plunge. And I must say that the tinnitus itself is a little bit thinner. But my general attitude towards my tinnitus and the ability to focus on the external world and not my inner workings...

    Lenire — Bimodal Stimulation Treatment by Neuromod

    I am truly curious to see further patient subtyping regarding this. It would be great to be able to aggregate the patients using Lenire here in the forums and try to deduce what might be a bad match for now. For now it seems as reactive tinnitus might be one. There are probably others but there...

    Lenire — Bimodal Stimulation Treatment by Neuromod

    I wonder if both @Allan1967 and @Ade have had this reaction due to the white noise or the timings themselves? It would be interesting if Neuromod could send out the different sound options to patients beforehand so they could sample if they do anything to their tinnitus or hyperacusis.

    Lenire — Bimodal Stimulation Treatment by Neuromod

    Hey John, I totally agree with you about the idiotic choice of Bluetooth over wired and I think that in the end it might have just been a selling point decision in the end. Hopefully it does not interfere enough with timing issues etc. Regarding the placebo group I have an extremely small...

    Already 6 Hours Tinnitus Free with CBD Oil

    They basically use standard audiology equipment. But they can go up into the higher frequencies.

My tinnitus is...

    The regular test I presume is up to 8 kHz. I specifically asked about a 16 kHz test since when I got my extreme tinnitus I had a deaf zone around 12-14 kHz and wanted to get that tested in a proper setting and not me sitting with speakers. I will also reiterate @hans799's points regarding...

    My pickup is in mid November. Their schedule seems way overwhelmed which is kind of understandable. If they are seeing 9 patients a day counting new and old there is an insane cumulative effect on the scheduling since every time you see a new patient you add 3 more visits which means that time...

    Antidepressants (SSRIs, SNRIs, MAOs, TCAs, TeCAs)

    I indeed got some new sounds but it took away so much of the panic, hyperacusis and also lowered alot of sounds. And in a choice between going crazy and not being able to listen to any sound it has been a godsend.
