Hi Ricky, I still have T in my right ear, and actually there is no surgery we could do right now for tinnitus

Life is good, I thought I was done at least 1000 times these 2 years, I lost my fiancee because of my T and related depression, T is life changing for me. But 2 years later now, it is okay. I traveled back to Europe this June to my University in Germany, everything is the same except my right...

The T itself will not change, which means there are still bad days, bad situations like super quite room. Habituation means that you don't get bad reaction to the sound when you heard it. My father got T for 19 years, but still avoid super quite situations, he always enrich sound. I observed...

Hi, Haven't talked for a long time!~ In fact, 99% of the scientists in the small circle of hair cell regeneration didn't pay any attention to tinnitus. To be honest, they don't know that Tinnitus is even a much larger market than hearing loss itself. And I really don't think that hearing loss...

Hi, I talked to him a lot via emails. He, and Albert Edge from Harvard have different attitude. Heller seems to be more realistic while Edge is more optimistic. But since the HRP from Hearing Health Foundation has a very detailed plan for their 10 year track, maybe it is okay to predict 10-15...

Hi TT friends, It has been like 3-4 months that I haven't log in TT, cause one of my best friends who managed very well with his tinnitus told me don't chat tinnitus on the web everyday, which is not the way to cooperate with it. Then I followed this advice and disappeared for a while. Today...

When will they start the trial? looks so promising!

A very comm0n used TCM, no side effect as I heard, I have tried it for 3 months, no use for me, but you could try anyway, most TCM has littile side effect than western medicine, but also, TCM's effect is very slow

Great idea, so I am thinking if it possible to find a way permanently block that nerve, like De Ridder did, implant an electrode or something....

I have done some acupuncture, it helps sometimes, but seems no big improvement, anyway, thanks a lot

Hi James, I also did CT and MRI, and nothing wrong, DPOAE said high frequency hair cell lost

I slipped down when moving my ex's house, and a sharp pointed thing poked into my eardrum, bingo, it's like 1 billion/1 possibility, but it happened, then eardrum perforation about 30%, and half of my haring lossed immediately, of course inner ear injuried as well, after treatment, I got 85% of...

I was doing a kind of massage for my ear every day these month, and yesterday, I knocked the cranium much heavier, with my finger's biggest power, and, amazingly, my tinnitus DISAPPEAR COMPLETELY for 10 second. I am not joking, seriously, very strange. Then I repeated this kind of method, and...

"Dear Mr. Ma, We have not yet started the treatments for tinnitus. Let us keep in touch. With my best regards D. Jeanmonod" For other members, they haven't begin it with T

Thanks a lot, then I know it is not that special:). But actually, my T sound totally changed during the past 1.5 years, the first onset is pure tonal high pitch, then louder high pitch, then after MRI, high pitch tonal with white noise one, and now, it is totally white noise like, no high pitch...

I haven't found any member's cause is the same as mine, direct trauma to the ear, and my T became so special, I need some observation from other members, I have some strange findings: 1. My tinnitus tone will change from a white noise like one to a tonal after listen to white noise for 1...

Great mindset, I should force myself to do it, thanks

Yeah, I also know that I have made some progress, but for me, it is like 2 steps forward, then 1 step back. I am able to sleep with no sound around, that is amazing, which I could not image before. I think my personality makes it longer for me to achieve it, but I should get more confidence...

Hi Mick, I got T 2 months earlier than you, but I have not achieved so much as you do right now, especially after my second accident of the MRI, I became super depressed, actually my T got lower these days, but I still have bad thoughts, and the T still annoyed me like 30% of my awake time. My...

Hi Stina, I have to say that it is almost the same for all of us, since you come into the 3 months. I know that, in the first month of onset, anxiety did not come, because we all still hold the hope that it will go away. 3 months is a gate, when you get to know more and more facts about T, and...

huge fan +1

I know another side in Michigan in Henry Ford Hospital, near Ann arbor and Detroit. The needle entered my ear drum three times now, nothing serious, it is okay

OMG, that's my ideal life ever, I love a movie called "The notebook", it is that kind of love I pursue. We also say "I love you" to each other for 5 years. But look back, the days are too good to be ture. I rode my bike to wait for her in front of the dormitry, every girl of that building know...

LadyDi, thank you so much! "I was involved with someone who wasn't up to dealing with a serious medical issue, some people just simply can't do it." I agree with you totally. A lof of my friends and even her best friends blamed her so much for her leaving, but I told them, it is not fair, she...

My fiancee broke up with me after 5 year's love because of T and T related depression, extreme case maybe:). And I know the only reason is that she got to know T is incurable in 10-15 years maybe, she gave the Tiffany back to me anyway. All our classmates in University thought it is unbelievable...

Don't be too extreme, everybody here is nice and smart people, we will not do this just because of one post. I also did lots of research and indeed it is a very old and classical method for tinnitus and other inner ear disorder. The success rate reported is quite different, like Sakata's report...

Yes, I am always responding, in 2012, I did the same process with Dexamethasone, it is also high spike and then back to the baseline. This time is the same, with lidocaine, spike at first and then back to the baseline. So it is obvious that the problem is at the cochlear, but the problem is...

Stefan Heller is the at the leading edge of hail cell regeneration, seems a long way to go. I need to discuss the issues Heller mentioned with Prof. Zhengyi from Harvard

My point is, the RWM verify is not that necessary, because Sakata did it only by needle, in Sakata's 80s, there seems to be no advanced equipment as you described in Shea(I read the original Japanese article a lot of times). But seems Sakata got very good result, so it is not the RWM issue, also...

Yes, I also heard that, but I am the unlucky one whose respond is negative. The ENT here in my hometown is my father's good friend, so if he thinks it is worthy trying, at least it is not a scam

So it means the medicine entered the inner ear right?

Yes, but IV lidocaine will increase the tinnitus caused by head injury, I don't mean the local perfusion

I think this point is right

I did the IV injection at the same time for 3 days. I did dexamethosone in 2012 when my T onset about 2 months, and that only increse my T level, so this time I just inject lidocaine and IV lidocaine as well. At least for me, nothing happened except temporary reaction. This method is very old...

If the tinnitus is caused by head injury, lidocaine will definitely increase the patient's tinnitus, this is a common sense among all the ENT in the world

Yes, the temperature is an issue, but it cannot cause 5 hours dizzy. Because the temperature effect could only last for less than half an hour, my ENT mentioned that. I mean only when the medicine had entered the inner ear so that the dizzy could last so long. If the lidocaine hadn't entered the...

I am not a native speaker of English, but base on my poor English, I definitely understand this sentence and can't agree with it more:). I really love this sentence, seems that we find another duck here in TT:)

I think no ENT could do that destroy for you except the ear with ringing is deaf or nearly deaf, actually, my situation is like you described. Perfect left ear with nothing wrong, and ringing in the right ear, with slight hearing loss about 10db in 4k and 5db in other frequencies, which means...

But I feel dizzy for about 5 hours after the injection, the ENT said, if the medicine hasn't entered the inner ear, it cannot be explained that I experienced the dizzy so long, because it must be the lidocaine to influence the vestibule that I could got so long dizzy, how about that, do you have...

My boss as a partner in our company got T since the age of 8 in both ears, he then got his first job in Shell, then MBA in the States, come back to join HSBC and now as a partner in my company. We have talked a lot about T, he said at the age of 8, he thought life has to go on, and then he...

Maybe sooner than you expected, really, seems it is booming now

I read several Japanese articles, really amazing, the lady is being discussed all over Japan, since she is so young, 30 years old only, got PhD when she was 27

I read the original Japanese article, the woman is only 30 years old, OMG Obokata Haruko（小保方晴子）30 years old, got PhD when 27 years old, begin this research when she was 25

Hi Grace, I am also not a fan of the "memorizing" concept, because I know so many cases, no matter cochlear implant or other treatment, cured patient's T for even more than 30 years

Actually I even have no medical experience before T, I used to be a man who never needs to go to hospital:D. Anyway, no matter stem cell or brain stimulation, we all welcome real cure if it works

We all could go to Harvard together before they train other doctors, okay, then the TT meet point is Harvard, Cambridge, MA, USA;)

Yes, I am always thinking that we TT should do something in a proper way to impact the world, at least know a situation called tinnitus:)

I want to tell you my story, all about my life before and after T, hope that will help you in some degree. Before I got T 2012 June 22nd, I am a very outgoing man. I got the guide of God and entered the top 1 Univeristiy here in China luckily, then fell in love with a good girl, my first love...

Not far away from slovakia, 2 hours by plane?:)

Mine is exactly at the ear, since the personal experience of my treatment, the injection into the inner ear will change my T temporarily, once suppressed, once made it louder, both temporarily. But I know my T is exactly at the cochlear. The problem is, everybody's T is so different, maybe some...

"Hi Aaron, Happy Chinese New Year! Indeed we have made some major progress in hair cell regeneration. We are working hard to translate the results to hearing recovery and to bring it to clinic sooner. As I always believe we will solve the problem, sooner than we knew just a couple of years...

But for inner ear, it really seems to be more complicated than other organs, and the stem cell technology should be developed quicker, but the US lost some pace in 2000-2010 since some ethics and political issue, so the stem cell tech seems faster in Japan and even China....

Yep, I just read every article no matter in 2009 or 2010 said that, it will be a decade, then in 2013, it is still said, it will be a decade or more, seems time frozen....

http://www.reuters.com/article/2010/05/14/us-deafness-cells-idUSTRE64D0BX20100514 Nearly 4 years now, want to email this Oshima, but how about the trial in Florida, anyone know more about that(see attchment)

Can you see there is a pole on the right hand of the coach, the camera is on the top of the pole and the coach can control the camera with his right hand. It is Fethiye in Southern Turkey.

:) With ear plugs, I think it's okay, go again, conquer the world:)

I just use the normal foam ear plugs

I just take the ear plugs, and from June 2012 when I got T until now, at least 5 oversea long trip and countless domestic flight(because of my job, I usually fly every week or 2 weeks), seems fine for my ear, never change the T

Yes, I think Estonia is not far away from Saint Petersburg, will consider to cover it at once:)

八达岭 is the most famous one, for tourists, especially for foreign clients. 八达岭 is great anyway, very steep
