    Suicidal

    Everyday in wake up wondering how I am going to make it through another day. I really don't have any hope left. The only thing that keeps me going is knowing I am not alone. Today I wanted to end it all... I didn't because of my friends and family, but mostly because of all of you. I won't allow...

    Neosensory — Bimodal Stimulation Device for Tinnitus: Any Reviews? A Scam or Not?

    There's a coupon code right now. It's "soothe30". It takes $74.70 off the total. I still think it's a scam, but that makes it a little less expensive so I think it's worth a try.

    Frequency Therapeutics — Hearing Loss Regeneration

    I was also denied because my speech understanding scores were not bad enough... I've had several hearing tests done over the last 2 years... The interesting thing is when a female with a high pitched tone gives me the test I pass because I do not have high frequency hearing loss, but when...

    Is anyone considering trying to get into these clinical trials? I seem to meet the criteria but I am also nervous it may make my situation even worse.

    Parasym — tVNS Device

    Has anyone else tried this with any luck? I've considered purchasing it since you can't rent it in the US. I would hate to buy something so expensive only to receive no improvement.

    Poll: Have You Ever Had Intratympanic Injections?

    I had 3 injections 7 days apart. They honestly did nothing. I went to about 4 or 5 doctors in a 30 day period begging to get them. I did get my first one until 35 days after my tinnitus started which is pretty much out of the treatment window for them to even be effective.

    Anyone with MES (Musical Ear Syndrome) / Musical Tinnitus?

    I had a patient a few months ago who stated she's been hearing Christmas music in her ear ever since a car accident. I think she said it had been going on for a few years, but she didn't seem to mind it. It was incrediably bizarre. I can't decide if I'd prefer Christimas music or never ending...

    Are Caffeine and Alcohol Especially Dangerous to Tinnitus Sufferers?

    I've never noticed a difference in my tinnitus from either of them. In fact alcohol is the only thing that takes the edge off. It doesn't make my tinnitus any quieter, it just makes me not give a shit. Sometimes it helps me to forget about it even if it's just for a minute or two.

    Poll: If Your Tinnitus Was Caused by Acoustic Trauma, Is It Maskable by White Noise?

    I can sometimes mask it with white noise, but it needs to be pretty loud. My tinnitus is very similar to white noise and is more of a lower pitch. A fan is really the only thing that can almost completely mask it
