    Still experiencing a gradual reduction of tinnitus spikes after using oral minoxidil for almost 5 months. They now happen less often than before and they are never severe like they used to be. The spikes usually go away by the end of the day as well which used to rarely to happen. I think...

    My Experience with Oral Minoxidil for Tinnitus Management

    Hi all, It's been around three years since I last posted here, but I wanted to share something that might be helping me with my tinnitus. To give you a quick overview of my journey without diving into too much detail: my tinnitus began in late 2018 from a hangover. It progressively worsened...

    Sudden Wild Longer-Lasting Fleeting Tinnitus Episode — Would Appreciate Your Thoughts

    You can do it. It still happens to me all the time, and less than a week ago I started getting episodes of fleeting tinnitus 20-30 times a day (not an exaggeration) for 3 days straight. Hasn't done it since, but other than that I've been experiencing some signs of healing after 3 years of pure...

    Sudden Wild Longer-Lasting Fleeting Tinnitus Episode — Would Appreciate Your Thoughts

    That happened to me once, about 2 months after my first onset of tinnitus. It never happened like that again since. So personally I wouldn't stress too much about it. Hope that helps.

    Tinnitus Reactivity and Hyperacusis Have Gone Down — Spikes Are Worse

    Just an update... I had some tests done by that doctor in functional medicine, not because of tinnitus but because of rapidly increasing chronic fatigue and other issues. It turns out I have ridiculously low vitamin D and B12 levels and have super low Folate along with the MTHFR double gene...

    Can Mercury Toxicity Cause Tinnitus or Hearing Loss?

    I recently found out I have some elevated mercury levels, and taking DMSA for the test (1500 mg which is an insane dose, I wasn't informed at the time). It not only made me very sick, it changed the characteristics of my tinnitus I believe. I also have amalgam fillings. Not sure if this helps.

    @Vicki14 I still deal with these spikes from mild hiss to devastatingly loud high-pitch squeal. The only thing that's improved is that I have virtually no reactivity UNLESS I'm in the middle of a spike.

    Tinnitus Reactivity and Hyperacusis Have Gone Down — Spikes Are Worse

    Still the same pattern of 3-4 day long spikes of severe tinnitus before it settles down to a mild baseline fuzz for another few days. Still have no idea what triggers it. Every once and a while I get a "bad month" where it's basically relentless for most of the days of every week and I get all...

    Thiamine Pyrophosphate (TPP) Stopped My Tinnitus!

    Just an update, I took TPP for about 10 days and had nothing but really bad days for that whole duration (even the baseline days were pretty bad and my sleep was deteriorating ). I switched back to Thiamax and things seem more calm again. Also my sleep is so much better. No idea if there is a...

    Thiamine Pyrophosphate (TPP) Stopped My Tinnitus!

    Thank you, so strange it wouldn't come up in a search on Amazon. I just ordered a bottle, I'll report back if there are any changes. I've been having a terribly bad episode the past couple weeks.

    Frequency Therapeutics — Hearing Loss Regeneration

    Yes, I am aware that potentially good results are coming, and I do totally believe in this company and what they're doing. Unfortunately the market doesn't actually care about tinnitus or hearing loss. I've been burned in the past pretty bad waiting for stock shares to go up once good news...

    I still don't see what I have to be careful about when it comes to taking profit. I'm not planning on buying back in, the chapter has ended for me. It's called swing trading, which involves trading chapters. It is a certain method of trading that fits the strategy of certain people, including...

    Frequency Therapeutics — Hearing Loss Regeneration

    I don't think there's ever anything wrong with taking profit. It was a good amount. This is trying to time the market. If you look at CCIV as a really good example of how this can go south real quick, everyone expected the stock price to skyrocket when the merger was announced. But instead...

    Thiamine Pyrophosphate (TPP) Stopped My Tinnitus!

    Just to update, I really don't think this is doing anything for me. As I suspected I had some sort of placebo effect in the beginning and now things are behaving like they always do, despite the fact that I'm mega dosing right now. About 50% of the days of the month it's baseline and calm, and...

    New University of Michigan Tinnitus Discovery — Signal Timing

    I fit every criteria except that I've had bothersome tinnitus for over 2 years, but they are stating that it is a preference. The only potential exclusion criteria in my situation is being slightly over 100 miles away. I recently sent them an email about the upcoming clinical trial anyway...

    Thiamine Pyrophosphate (TPP) Stopped My Tinnitus!

    It used to be that I would wake up with quiet tinnitus and over the course of the day it would gradually increase in volume until I slept. That was before I would get these intense spikes. Now for the past 8-9 months I would wake up with it loud and it would settle as the afternoon approached...

    New University of Michigan Tinnitus Discovery — Signal Timing

    I agree with what they said. I'm 2.5 years in with tinnitus that gradually worsened to the point that 50% of the days out of the year I have severe ringing. But I'm still here. And I still try to do the same things in life when it's not at its worst. You will make it and you're still within...

    Thiamine Pyrophosphate (TPP) Stopped My Tinnitus!

    Thank you. The silence only lasted like a few hours and then the rest of the day was a 1/10 background static. I woke up with tinnitus being aggravated and now it's starting to settle down a bit. I still have no idea if this has anything to do with Thiamine because like I said, trying new...

    Thiamine Pyrophosphate (TPP) Stopped My Tinnitus!

    Good news! It arrived today surprisingly, even though Amazon didn't notify that it shipped. I'll start at 100mg a day for a few days and bump it up from there.

    Thiamine Pyrophosphate (TPP) Stopped My Tinnitus!

    Alternatively you can use Thiamine Benfotiamine which is going to be much better than Mononitrate and you only need to take 800mg of it to mega dose I think. It likely can cross the blood brain barrier but TPP will be much more effective to do that.

    Kava Kava for Tinnitus — Post Your Experience!

    I had the same experience and feeling. Over time though I was getting more of a tolerance and it was reducing my tinnitus less and less, until I was waking up to a bad spike every morning and drinking it would hardly touch it. Then stopping it entirely put me into one of the worst week long...

    It's also backordered for me. I believe we both ordered the same one. Mine should be shipping at the end of the month. I'll keep this thread updated.

    Thiamine Pyrophosphate (TPP) Stopped My Tinnitus!

    Hi, sorry for the late reply. From what I understand TPP is a synthesized Thiamine. 400mg of TPP is 400mg of this form of Thiamine. TPP is absorbed by our bodies differently from other forms of Thiamine such as Thiamine HCl or Thiamine mononitrate. TPP also crosses the blood brain barrier...

    I'm finally at baseline today. Dang it's been a while since I've been back to this level, I almost thought I wouldn't experience it again. Still getting some morse code but I've had other things exacerbate that element of my tinnitus and it sometimes takes a month to settle down. I think...

    Kava Kava for Tinnitus — Post Your Experience!

    I still haven't recovered to my normal baseline, not even close. Also morse code tinnitus has returned in my right ear and it's even louder than ever, being heard over nearly everything which is a first. So nobody else has had any adverse effects from any form of Kava? I got a little worried...
  45. Flyingsheep

    Thiamine Pyrophosphate (TPP) Stopped My Tinnitus!

    Since TPP is much more effective, I think you only need to go up to 400mg to mega dose it.

    Thiamine Pyrophosphate (TPP) Stopped My Tinnitus!

    Anybody heard of mega-dosing Thiamine? There's been studies that taking higher doses of 1500mg-1800mg has helped people with fibromyalgia and can address neuroinflammation and Glutamate neuroexcitotoxicity which I believe has an effect on tinnitus? Also high doses of Thiamine is relatively safe...

    Kava Kava for Tinnitus — Post Your Experience!

    I stopped drinking Kava and I have to say, the ringing today has blasted through the stratosphere. Unbelievable. I don't know why drinking Kava would lead up to this, but it looks like anything that has an effect on GABA receptors is not a good idea for me. If taking benzos overtime causes...

    Kava Kava for Tinnitus — Post Your Experience!

    I know it may sound bizarre but what I'm experiencing is true. I haven't taken any benzos for about a month, so there shouldn't be any interference there. I also never take any SSRIs. Maybe it is possible to build a slight dependence on Kava?

    Kava Kava for Tinnitus — Post Your Experience!

    It seems drinking Kava frequently has changed the characteristics of my spikes. Now literally everyday I wake up I have a bad spike coming on, and drinking Kava is like a 50% chance that it will stop the spike. So I'm having the same amount of bad days, while having to drink Kava. Is it...

    Frequency Therapeutics — Hearing Loss Regeneration

    I've had zero luck convincing any ENT or audiologist to do an extended audiogram. I've done my own testing to the best of my own ability with proper speakers and I can hear the full range without any noticeable dips, especially in the high range. I don't write off hearing loss completely, I...

    Frequency Therapeutics — Hearing Loss Regeneration

    What I always wonder is if you just absolutely can't pinpoint why your tinnitus started, why it continues to worsen every year, and you still get perfect hearing test results, is it even possible to convince an ENT to agree to try FX-322 anyway? I feel like that is another substantial barrier.

    Kava Kava for Tinnitus — Post Your Experience!

    It appears that the spikes eventually catch up. Things have been monstrous the past couple of days, and drinking Kava has only softened it for a couple of hours. I guess it can get so bad that this isn't going to really do anything, but I guess it doesn't help that I just had a breakup due to...

    I wouldn’t recommend doing this with YouTube due to compression. I’ve found I can never hear above 15 kHz from anything on YouTube and it’s not because of my hearing range, it’s due to YouTube compression. Download Audacity and generate a sine wave. That will be enough to test. When I do...

    Had a monstrous spike last night. It started coming on this morning again until I drank Kava. It appears to definitely put a stop to a bad spike, but the problem I'm noticing is that it's not a lasting effect. It only seems to be effective for a few hours until the sedation of Kava begins to...
