    Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy

    Thanks for the reply Lane. So, you just mix up that solution and then rub it in the skin around your ears? I'm thinking I may have MEM tinnitus, but not quite sure... still digging into it a bit.

    Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy

    I did 10 or 20 (I think, been a while) HBOT sessions two weeks after developing tinnitus (triggered by acute acoustic trauma - accidental gun shot w/ no ear pro). One week after the event (happened over the weekend and then New Year’s holidays), I saw an ENT and he prescribed a week’s worth of...

    Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy

    Hi, coukd you post a link to some more background on this? Trying to decide if I need to focus on the t while laying in the tube. It's definitely always there regardless, just trying to decide if I need to pay special attention to it (something I generally try to do less of).

    I Invented a Sound That Knocked Out My Tinnitus

    Unprotected ears, single gun shot, semi-enclosed space. btw, in my above post, reference to "crackpot" - no offense intended. The author of the soundtrack seems genuine and earnest and may very well be brilliant. I was just acknowledging what I thought the broader population would think of a...

    I Invented a Sound That Knocked Out My Tinnitus

    I've struggled with this decision as well. The first night I used it, I had an odd sensation and the tinnitus in my right ear virtually vanished (comes back a bit in that ear now and then; 24/7 awful in left ear). That said, I also was concerned I was listening to it way too loudly. Given I...

    Your Questions for Dr. Josef Rauschecker Interview

    Another selfish question -- and maybe irrelevant to the topic or already addressed (haven't had time to read his specialization/interest quite yet -- but just trying to get some questions in before the deadline). I've read a lot about benefits of meditation, but there seems to be a camp that...

    Your Questions for Dr. Josef Rauschecker Interview

    Selfish question. If you were within the first two weeks of suffering acute acoustic trauma and experiencing loud tinnitus, what would your recommended course of action be?

    Shooting Range Hearing Loss with Tinnitus — 4th Day — Options?

    John, Any update? I suffered from acute acoustic trauma myself a week ago (self-inflicted, accident, stupid; no ear protection, single .380 pistol blast in a somewhat enclosed space). It was only one shot, but I guess pistols can be worse than rifles in many aspects -- and one can be all it...

    I Invented a Sound That Knocked Out My Tinnitus

    Well, it's back... maybe worse. I'm sure you all have been through this, but, man the removal of that temporary relief/hope has been tough. Not sure I'll be listening to that recording anymore, it's seem to have ratcheted up things.... Hopefully, I'll get some actual sleep tonight. Rocky...

    I Invented a Sound That Knocked Out My Tinnitus

    I won't bore you with replies to my own post every 20 minutes... but, my ear since posting has been doing this somewhat odd pulsing or tapping every 10 seconds or so. Not very major at present, just a little thud -- imagine a the fabric speaker cover on a subwoofer just barely tapping as bass...

    I Invented a Sound That Knocked Out My Tinnitus

    Good evening everyone. This is probably the oddest thread for submitting a first post! I'll introduce myself a bit. In short though, very extreme acute acoustic incident (unprotected/unexpected pistol shot) brought on immediate tinnitus - very, very, noticeable high (maybe 12kHz?) screaming...
