Anyone has any insight into this type of treatment?

Crazy to think that even that small amount of 100mg of Aspirin can worsen tinnitus.

Easier said than done, my friend. I am considering suicide, but what if Ketamine will make me unable to do even that?

I have severe depression from having visual snow and tinnitus, and I'm considering either suicide or Ketamine infusions for depression. From what I've read, Ketamine acts on NMDA receptors, thus raising Glutamate in the brain. Glutamate is an excitatory neurotransmitter and possibly (?) can lead...

Like, I want to try SSRI or other antidepressants but they make tinnitus and visual snow worse, see: https://news.ohsu.edu/2017/08/22/study-suggests-serotonin-may-worsen-tinnitus How can I function and cope, if SSRI were my last resort I was hoping on, but they will never help me, because they...

I had to encounter a physician like that in the past, i refused and went off home. You have your choice, nobody is forcing any poison they might offer you down your throat. If you blindly do what they say, then you probably live a very miserable obeying life.

Nortriptyline also causes tinnitus, as all serotonin enhancing drugs. Your best bet would be to avoid all drugs altogether. Read this https://www.tinnitustalk.com/threads/life-screwed-by-nortriptyline-not-doing-well.22024/

@Renka what are the geometric patterns you say you have developed as a result of taking dex? please answer, is this visual snow or what? You have to give us the full info, we kindly ask you for this. It would be tragic to go and get dex and end up blind.

Thank you a lot. But I feel like the manipulations with the toothbrush might dislocate the wick? Is the wick placed hard enough there to hold for 2 weeks?

Also, i want to know how many days and how much did you insert in your ear @Renka dexamethasone. Was it a month procedure in one ear and then another in the other ear? Please write as detailed as possible what should one do in order to reverse ototoxicity from meds with microwick intratympanic...

But the microwick thing is really a simple invention. It shouldn't fucking cost $100. Can't you buy a piece of cotton and get that kind of tube somewhere? Like really, its real price tag should be somewhere in the $10-$15 range, not fucking $100, that's ridiculous. I'm not gonna bother ordering...

And how much did you pay him? Where do you live? I read your other post, Silverstein Microwick doesn't ship outside US, and it costs $100. How much did the operation cost?

Geometric patterns? Does this mean you treated T, but were left with Visual Snow? Dex is really only the last resort probably.

WAIT A MINUTE. Did you really have pulmonary embolism from dexamethasone? DAMN, THAT'S CRAZY. Getting rid of tinnitus but instead becoming disabled from shortness of breath and potentially dying? I'm not sure i want to try dexamethasone after this. Can someone really confirm this shit is so...

I woudln't call a small minority thousands of people who got worse on Amitryptiline. It's 50/50.

Unfortunately, when it comes to antibiotics, there's really no safe option. I wouldn't take tobramycin or any other aminoglycoside. I'd go with tetracycline or AzaSite (drops of azithromycin). AzaSite seems the better alternative for you.

Lidocaine is ototoxic, yet it has helped that guy... what a stupid disease LOL. Antidepressants worsen tinnitus, yet a few people get their tinnitus reduced by them. I can't stand this stupidity anymore.

This, I can relate so much. I no longer fear death, before I was like your everyday person, fearing of cars passing by when trying to cross the street, fearing of cancer, that I might get this in the future if I do bad habits like smoking or who knows. Now, I really embrace the inevitability of...

I'm also thinking about suicide a lot lately.. Parents and other family members don't understand at all. I'm almost on the edge of taking my life. :(

No, it's an aminoglycoside which causes REAL ototoxicity.

Very curious to know. I'll order Etifoxine in the next few weeks, but I'm scared of it making tinnitus worse. Has anyone tried it?

Those stats probably don't mean a lot in the real world. Can you give me a link?

Well, I don't believe cochlear implants can treat tinnitus, people get hearing loss without tinnitus, I think the improvement that can be achieved at best with a cochlear implant is too minor, like 1 point reduction in tinnitus volume, from 8/10 to 7/10, so if we take cost + risks in...

Like those pharma mobsters really care about it. They are thinking right now how to maximize profits from suffering people.

People get T permanently from taking MDMA, Mushrooms, why it makes you so surprised that one instance could cause worsened T?

If someone really believes that they work and has debilitating T, to the point of suicide, then you all ought to do anything to get surgery and have one, even assaulting doctors if it is needed to have it.

I think ototoxic drugs should be used more in regards to actual drugs that damage hair cells, like aminoglycosides antibiotics and chemotherapy drugs. I didn't find what are the rates of toxicity on that regard related to Promethazine, but looking at its mechanism of action, it has weak to...

If cochclear impalnts work, then why don't people get one? Why don't you get one?

Tinnitus is not an ear disease, it's a brain disease. With time, drug induced tinnitus becomes less bothersome because of habituation. Actual improvement could be seen in rare cases with ear infection or minor noise-induced tinnitus. Drugs that alter the neural system do this permanently...

What ototoxic drug made yours worse/caused it?

People have taken a single dose of Wellbutrin and gotten their T permanently worsened. If this guy still experiences it 10 days later, it's not going anywhere.

Antidepressants work on the 5HT receptors, commonly called Serotonin receptors. People who use antidepressants get their tinnitus worsened. People who never had tinnitus, have their tinnitus started from antidepressants. A quick google search of the effects of Cocaine on the CNS, gives us info...

You are crazy and a complete idiot. You just habituated through a zombie state to your tinnitus, that's all. You didn't lower it. Next time when you will come off Zoloft your tinnitus will go through the roof, I guarantee you. SSRI and antidepressants worsen tinnitus, it has been backed by...

Sorry to hear you had to go thru meningitis as a 10 days old baby, life is very cruel. You could try Gingko Biloba at 120 mg dosage a day, NAC 600 mg a day and maybe Lithium Orotate 5 mg a day to see if you could see some improvement. Take them at least a month.

Why would he need steroids if his T is not noise induced?

What was the dosage of Melatonin, Valium and Ginkgo Biloba you took in a day? Thanks mate for your experience, glad you are better.

So you are implying that Gingko helped you, but you could only tell the difference once you stopped taking it? So that means with Ginko it was 7 out of 10, and without 9 out of 10?

Any source?

Vaping is not smoking cannabis. Vaping is electronic cigarettes. They are safer than both cannabis and cigarettes.

Don't do it. If you are depressed, vape a lot, listen to music, don't take any medicine that has the potential to worsen tinnitus. In the meantime, gather 3000 euros and fly to Dublin, Ireland and get the Neuromod Lenire.

Hi, I've had mild tinnitus for 6 years. On the 3rd of January this year I took Venlafaxine (Effexor) for anxiety, starting with 37.5 mg a day and when I upped the dose on the 5th of January to 75 mg a day, the next day I had a severe spike in tinnitus that is still present to this day. I only...
