I have fluctuating tinnitus that is strongly connected to neck position and movement. I have an increasingly strong hunch that maybe injecting corticosteroids directly into the upper spine or brain may alleviate it. Is there any support for this hunch, and if so, any known doctor that would...

I’d say overall it’s better than before. But not gone. Today was a bad tinnitus day. I also got an MRI and it showed some problems in the tissues in my neck - herniated discs and swelling in the marrow. I think this may be the root of it. I have a follow up visit in a few days to see what the...

The man I had the first consultation with was Tilman Keck. Find another. Google. Shop around. The approaches to treatment seem to vary a lot.

I got it in Vienna, Austria, at “Tinnitus Zentrum Wien.” The doctor told me that it is also done in the US, but I don’t know exactly where. My tinnitus has been around for about 9 months.

I recently had a round of three injections of corticosteroids directly into the middle ear. It is making a big difference. I advise everyone to find a clinic that practices this and give it a try.

I have somewhat similar symptoms, though not as respondent to movement like yours, e.g. no effect from chewing or pressing my jaw down to my chest. I think our cases must have something to do with specific nerve inflammation. I will let you know how my treatment progresses.

I have fluctuating tinnitus that is stronger in the left ear. Recently I have been noticing more and more connections with behaviors and movements, and I wanted to ask whether the following might be an indication of some particular cause or route to remedy. 1. When there is air pressure coming...

I’m sorry, but no. Positive attitude has nothing to do with whether the measles vaccine is effective. It just works, and it doesn’t matter how you feel about it.

It is disappointing that the effectiveness of a treatment depends on believing it will work. This suggests that the placebo effect plays a strong role.

You are demonstrating the exact same fallacy of probabilistic reasoning. Knowing that a property A is rare allows you to infer that, given a random individual, that individual is unlikely to have property A. It does not license the following, which is what I see you doing. "Here is a purported...

I saw Baby Driver before my onset and awareness, so I'll have to watch again. Not yet seen Star Is Born; now I have a very good reason to check it out.

Hi Saliner. I would like to ask you how exactly you received this diagnosis and treatment. I have been zeroing in on the cause of my tinnitus residing somewhere inside my neck with measurable connections to certain muscle contractions. I have not been able to find a doctor that is able/willing...

This is a fallacious pattern of reasoning. You are saying that the general rarity of something negates the evidence in front of our eyes of a rare occurrence. When I phrase it like that, the flaw is obvious. We must always take the totality of evidence into account and believe people who report...

I feel like this should have been part of the calculus earlier. Ethical philosophy puzzle. Imagine you can save 10 people from immediate death, but the cost is that one person must hear a ringing sound for the next 50 years. Worth it? Discuss. Follow-up Question: Why was the phenomenon of...

It's now 5 days since my booster (Pfizer). No big change in tinnitus. No spike. This morning I woke up a 4am with an 8/10 tinnitus on the annoyance scale, the worst since the booster, 10 being the worst I've experienced since onset. But now it's ok, back down to 2 or 3. I had some beers last...

It's been about 28 hours since my booster shot now. I am happy to report no significant change in tinnitus. It's actually been pretty quiet for the past 2 days. I have been doing some "alternative" things to treat tinnitus after the 2 ENT visits didn't help. One is I tried acupuncture. Not...

With all due respect, take a step back and reflect on your feelings. You are in a constant state of fear and/or panic. This is not good for you or your family. You need to drift a little closer back to normality.

It is common to see arguments for taking the vaccine of the following form. If you take the vaccine, the side effect X probabilities are P, and if you get infected they are Q. Compute your expected utility. What this ignores is that after one or two doses, you may experience something and then...

Why? We're talking about people who were hospitalised and observed; there's no "VAERS for COVID-19 infection". Plus, if you multiply 15 by 2 you get 30, which is about 81 million more people. When percentages and sheer volumes get to this order of magnitude, you don't just randomly get a "2x"...

I developed tinnitus for the first time in my life (except for some fleeting ringing that would last a few seconds sometimes) after my 2nd Moderna shot. It is persistent but changes a lot too. Some days I am free from it, some days it goes on all day. I'm fairly convinced that it's connected to...
