My ENT said that if I wear a hearing aid for a year for at least 8 hours a day that it will minimise my tinnitus. He said it tricks the brain to get used to it not being there. Apparently based on some German study. Is this true?

Thanks @GBB. I’ve followed some of your journey on here. I like the active pursuance you have had on finding a remedy. Is Kava Kava something that has worked for you? I’d be interested to see your master list. My next order was going to be Magnesium glycinate and Huperzine A. I’ll add this...

I have SNHL and bilateral tinnitus. I have tried many things to help tinnitus without any luck so far. Even if I don’t see benefit from something, I like to try anything. It helps me to feel I’ve got control over the situation even if it doesn’t eventually work. So far I’ve tried mostly...

Didn’t the founder and chairman of Otonomy cash all of his money out? Doesn’t exactly instil confidence. If he thought it would be successful I doubt he would sell all of his stake at a discount. That being said, I remember the initial results were actually quite good. Something doesn’t add up...

Yes fairly rural but I could travel. The closest large city with otologists is a couple of hours away so I could make the trip. I appreciate the support. I’m hopeful that the air bone gap was just the error that you referred to in previous posts. And the added tinnitus is stress and blood...

Thanks FGG. This is my second ENT opinion. The first otolaryngologist said for the tinnitus get a hearing aid or deal with it. He also suggested a septoplasty but that was more for sleep. He didn’t know about hearing regeneration. He said there probably won’t be any hearing regeneration medicine...

I’m sorry to bring this up again. Since discovering I possibly have conductive hearing loss as well as SNHL my stress has spiralled. It’s taken over my life. At least before I put my faith into regenerative medicine such as FX-322 and forgot about it (at least to some extent). Now that there is...

I can’t stop trying to work out the cause of my hearing loss and tinnitus. Since I found out there is an air bone gap I’m so anxious about what is causing the conductive loss in my ear. The next ENT appointment is a month away so that’s a month of worry. The last appointment he didn’t even...

I am 32 active, fit, good BMI (if not on the low side), don't smoke, rarely drink. A few months ago I had bloodshot eye that filled up the whole eye (subconjuctival hemorrhage). It was about the same time when my tinnitus started going through the roof. Because of my eye, I was told to get my...

Would Thiamine Hydrochloride (HCl) suffice?

Yes that is the one. I Googled, read the horror stories, and then convinced myself I had it. This is quite a normal process for me. Thanks, I will do this. I came across the 4 kHz air bone gap thing also while doing my Google spiral. In some articles it says 3-4 kHz which is interesting. The...

Thanks for the replies. This is very helpful. I am feeling more equipped to make the right questions when I go back in to the Doctor or another ENT. I think I see now that the conductive loss could potentially be at 20 dB across the whole graph yet the SNHL is at the higher frequency. What do...

I’m not sure what to do because my ENT just left it at that. He said there could be some kind of surgery they could do but it’s probably not worth it. But to me the gap between my left and right ear is the tinnitus. I don’t get tinnitus in my right ear. I recall the possibility of Eustachian...

Thanks FGG! This makes sense to what he was talking about. What causes an air bone gap and is there anything other than Nasonex I can try to help it?

Could I please have help with my audiogram? I got this done a year ago by an audiologist. I only just got into my ENT who read through it. He was quite fast in the way he talked and I was overwhelmed and anxious so I missed key bits! He said some things about the audiogram showing that the...

I went to the ENT last week to finally check out my tinnitus. I had previously only gone to an audiologist. I took the audiology report with me. A quick background. my tinnitus is only in left ear. I have high frequency hearing loss in both ears but it dips lower on the report (more loss) in...

Are there any anti-anxiety drugs that are not ototoxic? I’m ready to take the plunge. I can’t keep living with this anxiety. Reading through the thread there seems to be for everything: ‘insert drug here is not ototoxic’ and then a reply saying ‘I know a person who developed screaming tinnitus...

I’ve got NIHL which I suspect I’ve had for some time with excessive exposure to noise throughout my teens. Last year I got my first scare of tinnitus with a mild ringing in one ear. I adapted and scaled back on noise exposure. More recently, I have continued to scale back and put in supports...

Where can you get it in Australia?

Another question. I saw musician ear plugs raised in here. Is this a worthy added protection when listening to speakers instead of headphones? Can you still hear the music OK? What does it sound like? Thanks.

This seems to have slowed down. There was so much promise in the original posts about potential improvement of tinnitus and possible improvement of hearing loss. What spooked me is the possible cancer links. Has there been any update on this? Where have all our success stories gone to from...

Thanks guys. I’m retiring the headphones. I’ll look into a speaker setup that is safe and only use when I’m working out. I think that I will naturally listen to music less but that is OK. It is going to be hard having a headphone gym session being what I look forward to most but I know I’ll be...

Thanks for the reply Michael. I know you are right. Would 80 dB at 45 minutes on noise cancelling headphones be a risk? With protection such as Nicotinamide Riboside and/or NAC? I can see it’s a risk that most wouldn’t take on this forum.

I already know the answer to this one but I’ll put it out there. I love music. It probably got me to where I am now with noise-induced hearing loss. I spent my adolescence and 20s listening to very loud music. Now in my 30s and aware of the damage done I am far more cautious. I have mild...

This is a very long thread. I’m seeing that the consensus is moving away Lenire. Are there any accessible and positive neuromodular methods out there?

I'm interested in starting this regimen! How have all our success stories gone? I'm trying to find out what the best combo of dosage is. Looking at Tru Niagen NR at the moment. It's expensive but they all are! I was thinking of getting one month's worth to see how that goes first- or do I need...
