Just an update for me. I got both Moderna shots and one booster. I never experienced any kind of spike or increase. I’ll probably get this new omicron targeted booster sometime in the next couple weeks.

It’s now been a week since my second moderna shot and absolutely nothing. My tinnitus hasn’t increased one bit, if anything it seems quitter (probably because Im not stressing about side effects anymore).

Just got my second second Moderna shot three days ago and no side effects except for a sore shoulder. No change in tinnitus. I will update if anything changes but it seems like I’m out of the woods. Also, a friend of mine that has tinnitus got his second shot a month ago and hasn’t experienced...

I received my first Moderna shot three weeks ago and only got a very sore arm at the injection point (this could have been made worse because I worked out a bit on my shoulders that same day). No increase or decrease in tinnitus.

It’s a bit mind boggling that in this day and age you can’t just hook up the device via usb to your laptop and download the new program. Perhaps the device needs to be checked, calibrated or something to that effect?

Sorry I don’t come on here that often anymore. My reactive tinnitus has done very well, I’m happy to report. I still hear my tinnitus all day long but it mostly bothers me in the morning, but no where near how it did all last year. During the day my tinnitus sounds like a faint hiss and seems...

I’m wondering if there is any drawback or even danger in doing Lenire and then trying another neuromodulation device, such as Dr. Shore’s, at a later date?

I can’t think of anyone that has had any improvement on Lenire’s second six week setting. Am I wrong and if so, does anyone have any stats on how many people have had any improvement?

70% still sounds pretty good, but would you say that out of that 70% maybe only 25% experience very good results and the rest is average? Or how would you break it down?

I capitulated and postponed my appointment until September. The whole coronavirus thing was the straw that broke the camel's back, and of course it would be great to see more positive data before committing to the treatment.

I went through a similar rough patch last year. I had a pretty nasty spike from August to about mid December. I think it was due to going to a concert with faulty ear plugs, but not entirely sure. My sleep pattern wasn’t good at the time since I was traveling a lot so maybe it could have been...

You can always email them and see if they have an earlier appointment? They were able to change mine fairly easily. For your spike, have you gotten on any medication or perhaps changed medication? I know some have an effect on worsening tinnitus. Sorry to hear about your spike. You’re right...

In the podcast, Dr. Ross O’Neill mentions that one of the doctors who is working on the Minnesota device worked with him on Lenire for two years or so before they released it to the public. So I would imagine both devices will be similar.

At the most I’m thinking a few months or so, so sounds like I should be good... Thanks for the info!

I’m definitely contemplating that idea. I’d still go to Dublin to have a few pints of Guinness and tour the country a bit. Do you know by any chance; when someone goes to the initial appointment for the hearing test etc., how long do they have to decide on whether or not they want to purchase...

In hindsight I should have kept my May appointment and not request an earlier one... Just so I could take a longer “wait and see” approach. Oh well!

I’m currently finding myself at a bit of a crossroad. I’m finally habituating to my tinnitus after it stared early January 2019. Even though it doesn’t seem as loud as it was, I still think it is the same volume since I need to raise my masker to the same volume in order to drown it out. My...

That water and flutes seems to work well for me. Thanks for sharing. Since my T is very high pitch, there aren’t too many sounds that can mask it. This is one that I listen to when I need to escape the sound in my head.

If I recall correctly, in the podcast Dr. Ross O’Neill said he didn’t think so when asked the question.

Your tinnitus sounds very similar to mine (high pitched with hearing loss in the 8 kHz region). I’m hoping Lenire will work for cases like ours. Sounds like we have appointments around the same time. Best of luck!

I would recommend you read this whole thread from the beginning. From the research I’ve done, I haven’t found anyone who benefited from it. Also, from what I gather it used to cost $2500 but since Levo got into a contract with the VA, the cost more than doubled. US audiologists will claim it...

I was in Dublin last August and credit cards are fine everywhere. You may want to call your bank to see if they can send you a card with a scanning chip so you can just tap and go, if you don’t already have one. For some reason we’re a bit behind in the United States as it relates to that kind...

Does anyone have an idea of approximately how many people have tried Lenire since it came out? Wondering if that number is in the hundreds, thousands,..? BTW, a quick update; I was able to change my appointment to March 3rd from late April.

I see. Please keep us posted. Hopefully you can make a speedy recovery... Wishing you all the best.

I’m so sorry to hear about your situation. Have you had any dental work done on that side? The reason I’m asking is because two years ago I developed something like what you describe. I went to the dentist and had a filling replaced on a molar, two weeks later I started getting headaches that...

Just got my appointment for the end of April. It’s a good thing I checked my junk email because it somehow made it there... I’ve also replied asking to contact me if anything opens up earlier. I originally signed up mid November 2019.

Absolutely, I wish my ENT hadn’t prescribed them to me. After three weeks, just taking them for sleep, I developed some nasty side effects that took a few months to go away...

It’s really unfortunate, especially when it’s moderate to severe, like it is with most of us on this forum. The frustrating thing is people that make up the condition to get their hands on controlled substances.

Apparently junkies are making up the condition in order to get their hands on benzos. They are often prescribed for tinnitus. I remember a few ENTs I visited who wanted to prescribe those as a sleeping aid.

I was chatting with a close friend who is with LAPD and we were both talking about each other’s issues as we get older. He was telling me about his issues with tennis elbow and I told him about my tinnitus and how annoying it’s been ever since I got it a year ago. His reaction took me a bit by...

I downloaded TinnitusPlay but, unfortunately for me, the masking sounds (Sound Mixer) aren’t high pitch enough to mask my tinnitus. Not sure if this is doable but, I wonder if it’s possible to add a feature to where after we match our tinnitus, the app suggests masking sounds based on the...

I’m noticing that lately there seem to be a tad more non-responders. I wonder if they changed something in their device that isn’t working as well? Perhaps the newer tongue tip? It might be a bit paranoid on my part but just thinking out loud.

When my tinnitus started, exactly a year ago, I was crossing a street in Chiang Mai, where I was vacationing at the time. It just started out of nowhere and was very loud. That triggered a long road of ENT visits (6 in total), ER, brain MRI, over 300 blood tests at my GP, it was crazy but...

Great thread... I’ve been toying with that idea for months. I’ve always been a hypochondriac and anxiety has always run deep in my veins. It is and issue I’ve dealt with my whole life. I’ve also had agoraphobia in the past, which is under the OCD umbrella so to speak, so I’m definitely prone to...

Good to know, I’ll download that and give it a shot...

Funny title, I know, I just couldn’t think of a better one. Anyhow I just came back from Mexico, where I went to this little resort with my girlfriend and her family. When I was there I found myself thinking about my tinnitus only a handful of times. It was a combination of the distractions...

So sad to hear, may he Rest In Peace... Sorry I’m not the best at saying much in these sad events.

Sweet! Whereabouts are you located? I’m now wondering if I should pick up my phone if I see an unlisted number.

That’s fantastic! Do you have an idea or can you comment on their timetable for releasing this to the public?

That is really awesome that you are part of the trial! I tried to get in on it last year but, as of the time that I inquired, they didn’t allow anyone to move to Ann Arbor for it. Good luck and I hope it will help you in your journey to getting rid of your tinnitus, or at least improving it...

That’s great! When did you initially sign up? Still waiting for my appointment :-/

I think they want to get FDA approval so they can just use that title as a selling point and to show it’s safe. Levo has FDA approval and from what I’ve heard, does nothing (at least I couldn’t find any reliable user reviews).

I did some more digging. Looks like this drug has been around a while now. I found two studies done on it, one in the early 90’s and one in 2004. Supposedly it helps. I’m perplexed on why we haven’t heard more about it. Also, I wonder if you need to stay on it to get relief, in which case there...

There doesn’t seems to be a clear answer. Some medical devices don’t require trials, this one does. Medical devices are divided in three classes: 1-2 and 3. This device would probably fall under class 2 is my guess, like most medical devices. She’s been working on this for years. Drugs...

That’s interesting. Were they also green like the article mentions? Or a UV type?

Did you find that they helped your tinnitus?

It’s been two weeks of wearing these cool green sunglasses with no benefit. Just wanted to check in anyway and give an update as I said I would. I’ll continue using them as I see no harm, but highly doubtful they will help.

Hi, I’m just curious, did you also have any sort of hearing loss or was it just due to TMJ and that is why the jaw splint helped your tinnitus? Happy New Year by the way!

I’m a bit wary about trials coming from India, but seems really promising if you can trust the what the report says. From what I’ve found is that this is a hormone and has been around for at least 10 years. It’s supposed to induce labor and also used for preventing stomach ulcers. How would you...

After I went to a Marc Anthony concert in August and my cheap ear plugs kept popping out out. My T got a lot worse for about 2-3 months and now has improved quite a bit.

I see where you’re coming from but Lenire does seem to help a good precentage of people that try it. Till this year, I don’t think there’s anything else that comes close to it. I don’t know if there will ever be a complete cure, hopefully, but with everything there is in the pipeline today, I do...

My cholesterol went up to 265 so my doc told me to either do cardio &diet or take the pills. I chose cardio. I do 30 min per day, 5 days a week of either elliptical or bike. The key is to keep your heart rate at 70% of your max heart rate for 150 minutes per week. In my case 30 min 5 times a...

Please keep us posted:)

Sorry to hear that buddy. At least now it’s all behind you… It’s really unbelievable the side effects of a lot of these drugs.

I came across an article that talks about a new drug that was just approved by the FDA to treat migraines. Looks like the trial started July 2016 and it was approved by the FDA for sale this week. My point is, hopefully this will be the sort of time line we can expect for FX-322 to jump...

If you’ve only been to your GP, perhaps a visit to an audiologist or ENT might be worth it just in case they notice something your GP didn’t. Also, doing a hearing test would be helpful to see if perhaps you have any hearing loss, which more than likely you do, even if just a little.

They’re definitely green enough, that’s for sure! I ordered a slightly more stylish pair to give this a shot for a couple of weeks, what the heck! Lol

Thanks for the info. It’s really too bad. I would watch some of his videos on bad tinnitus days and they would give me a bit of hope. Oh well! Perhaps like Michael said, he more than likely didn’t have noise induced tinnitus, which is why his went away.

I came accross this article that talks about green light being able to lower pain in some patients, especially as it relates to migraines. The treatment involves sitting in a dark room with a green light, but if you scroll to the bottom, the article talks about trying green tinted sunglasses...

I just sent them an email today. Did you initially have an appointment at the Dublin location as well?
