    Alternatives to Melatonin?

    Well, the moderator deleted my thread for some inexplicable reason. This will be my final post on this forum. Tinnitus is a big enough problem without getting helpful threads deleted, and being aggravated putting over an hour of time into writing it to help myself and help others. I mean...

    Alternatives to Melatonin?

    Thanks Glynis for the reply. I'll check out that Nortryptaline. My guess with this tinnitus thing, is that we are all 99.999999 percent alike, but that small DNA difference might mean the difference with something as baffling as tinnitus. So i'm beginning to understand that there likely isn't...

    Alternatives to Melatonin?

    Hi Jacob - Thank you for the update. I posted a new thread about my experience with Melatonin. Question to you and all the members - Did the chamomile tea or any of the other mentioned substances have any effect on your tinnitus? Thanks again!

    Melatonin Might Be Beneficial, Especially in Preventing Hearing Loss?

    It's likely if not definite that Melatonin has been discussed on this forum before. but here are the results for me. My basis synopsis. Got tinnitus after foolishly shooting .357 caliber gun rounds outdoors without hearing protection back around 1994. I've been very careful about protecting my...

    Dr. Wilden's LLLT Laser Machine Reduced My Tinnitus to 1/2 of What It Was in 6 Weeks

    Read about what happened to Joan Rivers when she was a patient of some quack doctor. She is of course not the only example of harm and possibly death occurring from a quack doctor. There are countless other examples. Whether or not this guy is a quack or not, remains to be seen. In any event...

    Very interesting, and makes sense.

    Gluten-Free and Feeling Better

    Very interesting thread. My tinnitus spiked right before the time I joined this forum. One thing I noticed, (I think), is I love fresh trout from the local grocery store, and it's supposed to be made from farm raised fish not fed any abusive chemicals. But I have a feeling that after the fish...

    Electrical Stimulation of the Ear in Tinnitus Patients: A Pilot Study

    Conclusions Our results indicate that peripheral external ear ES changes cortical activity in tinnitus patients. One of the possible mechanisms in which ES influences tinnitus may therefore be a change in the cortical activity present within the left central temporal and frontal regions...

    South Korean Clinic Treatment (Dr. Minbo Shim)

    I agree. I'd like to hear more about this stem cell research. If it works then fantastic, if it doesn't work then try something else. But we can never quit trying. In any event, in my opinion, I am 100% convinced the solution for us, is not with this Dr Shim.

    South Korean Clinic Treatment (Dr. Minbo Shim)

    Con artists often do that, they play hard to get, so it's not obvious that it's a con. Sorry, but this smells more and more badly the more I read about it. <<< I just mailed dr Shim asking him about details what kind of groty factors he uses an some scientific background behind. >>> I would...

    Tinnitus Stopped ... And Then Came Back

    Coincidentally, mine stopped today for around 5 minutes, and that hasn't happened in a long time. I think most of us here have probably done research on the internet about foods, vitamins, herbs, treatments, etc. Sometimes I think the tinnitus stopping or getting better, and attributing to...

    South Korean Clinic Treatment (Dr. Minbo Shim)

    That's good. but I would like to see independent verified confirmation of the posted information. Anyone could start a website and post that they've got results about curing cancer, but it wouldn't be true. Sorry to be skeptical. In something such as this, I am not going to give anyone the...

    South Korean Clinic Treatment (Dr. Minbo Shim)

    Also beware of those on internet forums and elsewhere who seem to "overly promote" a certain untested procedure. Scammers love to go on website forums, with different IP addresses, different user names, etc, and pretend that they had this procedure done and it works great, etc, etc, etc. This...

    South Korean Clinic Treatment (Dr. Minbo Shim)

    Just thinking off the cuff...even if there is hair regeneration, will these hairs do the job, IE will they either stop the tinnitus or restore sound properly? We are born with the proper hairs and perhaps these new hairs will do nothing. This is just a total random guess on my part based on no...

    How Do You Guys Cope with Regret?

    I read this I forget where, about someone who's tinnitus was so bad, he decided to get his hearing removed, the doctor actually removed his eardrums, the patient figured it was better to go deaf, than to have to listen to the tinnitus. The operation was done, and the tinnitus was still there the...

    South Korean Clinic Treatment (Dr. Minbo Shim)

    Sorry I have to agree with you. I keep an open mind about it, but a lot of scammers out there preying on everybody they can, including us.

    How Do You Guys Cope with Regret?

    One thing that DEFINITELY needs to happen, is for EVERYONE to be made aware of this thing called tinnitus. Everyone who at any time is involved in noisy circumstances should wear ear protection. I'll share my story some other time when I'm in the mood to do a long post, but suffice to say...

    Heat Therapy Makes My Tinnitus Go Away

    I have noticed that a hot bath, reduces it around 50% or more. Of course in a short time afterwards it comes roaring back. Problem is I can't stay in a bath tub 24 hours a day.

    How Do You Guys Cope with Regret?

    It's like anything in life, one second, can dramatically change your life, like a bad car accident. I always think of the late Christopher Reeves...handsome guy, movie star, rich, beautiful wife, in the prime of his life...riding in a horse show, the horse throws him, and instantly he is a...

    Very Loud Pressure Toilets... How Loud Are We Talking in Decibels?

    Neighbor's leaf blowers bother me. Neighbors who constantly use these dam things, even when there's hardly any leaves out there, should be ashamed of themselves for bothering their neighbors. They really should regulate these noise machines and by law, silencing devices must be on from the...

    Inner Ear Hair Cell Regeneration — Maybe We Can Know More

    I think there's no sense of urgency in the medical field because tinnitus isn't life threatening as far as physical death from it is concerned. Just my opinion. But I would think that the money to be made would motivate them.

    Can a Pill Fix Your Hearing? Biotech Advances on the Horizon

    Well, that sounds like excellent news. I'm not even sure my type of tinnitus, from gun noise, can be repaired in this manner, but I will check that out.

    Can You Hear Your Tinnitus When You Put Your Fingers in Your Ears...?

    The massage thing sounds like a good idea. I think I may try that. Not expecting any miracles but I would think it has to be helpful.

    Can a Pill Fix Your Hearing? Biotech Advances on the Horizon

    I have to sadly agree. They can't even cure baldness with "hairs", and that seems like it would be a whole lot easier to fix than these ear hairs. I can't see them figuring out these ear hairs as far as a competent working treatment anytime soon, likely for a very long time. But I sure hope my...

    -Ongoing- Possible Earwax Related Tinnitus

    There are different ways that doctors remove earwax. One way is a suction device and I would have to believe that is NOT a good way to remove earwax for someone with tinnitus. I think the other way is the doctor just manually scrapes it out which in my view would be the best way for us. Perhaps...

    My Tinnitus Is Completely Gone

    Good Amazon reviews, especially for a product such as this. With a product such as this, usually Amazon buyers, if it doesn't work, will respond with a scathing review of wasting their money, etc. I think I'll buy some and see what happens.

    My Tinnitus Is Completely Gone

    I just bought Ginkgo Biloba in a US pharmacy store, just over the counter stuff, and had a side effect. When I woke-up in the morning both my legs seems sort of stiff with maybe only 80% movement, and there was pain and cramping in one of my feet. I take no drugs at all. None of this had ever...

    My Turn to Post a Success Story

    Seems like good news and it makes sense. I just hope the stem cells are a permanent solution. I would hate to spend all that time and money, and then the tinnitus just comes roaring back some months later. Thank you for the informative post. Good luck!

    I plan on reading a number of the success stories, and look forward to reading and participating in this helpful forum. I must say though, as a business person, and sorry to have to say this which is my opinion... "The trick with this is he doesn't accept charge cards, it has to be a direct...
