Let us know if you are able to get PRP done in Texas for your ears. I'm sure it is not FDA approved for this purpose because it might work. This is the main reason I don't live in the US any longer. Good luck. I will research where it is done. So far it looks like South Korea has approved it...

I take Thorne Research Nicotinamide Riboside. It was just the first NR supplement I found so I chose it. I have been using it for only 5 days and no change yet. I think the Cancer Research regarding NR is not applicable to humans and just preliminary. I also read extensively that Resveratrol is...

Dry fasting helps my tinnitus but I do it mostly to help with hearing loss for which it helped once during a temporary threshold shift but no luck recently. I've read the Russian 20 Questions & Answers About Dry Fasting book and I follow Phoenix Protocol on YouTube. I have very loud tinnitus in...

Here is a recent paper on Nicotinamide Riboside's effect on hearing loss in mice. Long-term NAD+ supplementation prevents the progression of age-related hearing loss in mice

Prevention with a good K94 or better mask works and works probably 99% of the time. I spent 4 months in South Korea during the pandemic. They do ZERO social distancing and almost zero hand hygiene as a COVID-19 measure. Some 20 million Seoul commuters pack into buses and subways daily. It is...

The Pfizer reported side effect rate for tinnitus and hearing loss is 100 times less than an independent trial done at a hospital with doctors and nurses who were followed up. I can't find the research study but it was well done. The Pfizer trial is likely like VAERS - based on self reporting...

I got worse tinnitus and hearing loss after the first dose of Pfizer. I don't think you should take a second dose because the risk of catching COVID-19 today is lower and declining. Prevention via masks and distancing works and you already know the first dose was ototoxic. Eliminate all risks...

Great post. Thanks. Red meat is very healthy and would have been the most abundant source of animal nutrition in the evolutionary environment. The modern advice to eat chicken is pretty peculiar if you think about it. A chicken is basically a modern invention designed to grow a food cheaply and...

There are over 1000 people in his Facebook group and most report some improvement and many dramatic improvement. I don't have exact numbers. It is anecdotal. I remember dismissing Atkins when my friend recommended low carb in 1998 because the public health system had no evidence for it - they...

I agree. Western medicine in the aggregate however has been mostly a failure. Remove child mortality, basic sanitation and vaccines and it is worsening health and longevity for most people by agreeing with nutritional advice promulgated by ideologies and corporations. This isn't an accident...

Well I bought his course and I like it. He is basically a biohacker and he incorporates many different recent health theories and discoveries. It works for a great number of people. It has been working for me until I got a temporary reduced hearing from noise and allergies. I don't accept that...

Ok, thanks for that.

Maybe try reducing pollen exposure. I use a $110 WINIX HEPA purifier from Costco in my bedroom. Consumer Reports says that on a high setting most air purifiers do a good job of filtering pollen. It hasn't actually helped me yet but I'm not sure if my cause is allergies or the vaccine as they...

Do you think it's possible that the shot was a coincidence but it's actually caused by the bad tree allergy season we are having in most of the USA? I'm asking because I have similar worsened tinnitus/hearing and it was after the Pfizer shot but also coincided with the start of the allergy season.

Pop your ears by Valsalva maneuver? Close your nose tightly and blow out with short and weak bursts of air blowing into your tubes. Stop after a few short bursts and then repeat if necessary to get the air to pass through your Eustachian tubes. The weak and repeated bursts will more gently open...

I think my worsened hearing and new tinnitus was also caused by the vaccine but I want to rule out other possibilities like pollen season. Do you have any type of new onset Eustachian Tube Dysfunction coinciding with your worsened tinnitus/hearing? Do you have known allergies to trees, as it...

Excellent information. I've begun eliminating salicylates to address a new recent tinnitus and Eustachian Tube Dysfunction in my right ear. Your post is helpful and encouraging.

LLLT has been studied for musculoskelatal pain and many other conditions and the mechanism of action is somewhat understood insofar as it accelerates healing, reduces pain and reduces inflammation. So it's reasonable to say that the etiology of hearing loss or tinnitus is not important. There is...

My tinnitus was about a 5/10 before the Pfizer shot and an 8/10 or so ten days after the first shot. I also got a new tinnitus sound in my right ear but that is about a 3/10. It has been 31 days since the first shot (I won't get a second) and the tinnitus in the left ear is about a 6/10 but I...

It's been 30 days since my 1st Pfizer dose and 20 days since the worsened tinnitus and it is better now, almost as mellow as prior to the shot but I helped it along with fasting.

Here is the ingredient label. Maybe just try oil and chopped garlic to infuse it.

It's great to hear others confirm what I have experienced. I now have several data points with significant reduction in tinnitus after fasting for 24-60 hours. It is so difficult to fast for 2+ days that I doubt that more than a handful of people with tinnitus have ever tried it. IT WORKS!!! And...

I recommend you fast. If you are on a high carb diet, slowly ease off the carbs until you are ketogenic, then begin 16 hour daily intermittent fasting. Then one day a month, fast 24 hours and work it up to 48 hours. I just did a 48 hour fast, second fast of that length ever and my tinnitus from...

I have used fasting to reduce the volume of spikes due to excessive noise exposure in the past and it worked somewhat this time as well. After a 27-hour fast and 18-hour fast my tinnitus became much much better, non-intrusive and just a whisper. But it's back again to the high pitch annoying...

Same here, the Pfizer shot 1 of 2 gave me much louder tinnitus. It is reported as an adverse event along with hearing loss and loss of auditory acuity but with very small numbers. I'm sure the actual incidence is much much higher. I think I may also forgo shot 2 of 2. I just finished a 27 hour...

Have you had a hearing test? You can download "Hearing Test Pro" on the Google Play store to get a good approximation. If your hearing is unaffected I think it's very likely to settle down, reduce to a very low level or even go away. I use this app regularly to check on my hearing and it's a...

In this recent video Liam discusses a Brazilian research paper that showed improved tinnitus with a hyperinsulinemia group that changed their diet. One of the reasons that these foreign papers are ignored in the West is because of prestige and strong bias. I have a researcher friend at a top US...

It is hard to say what his intentions are or to tell if he is genuine or just interested in making money. Most of the advice is sound however. Fasting has reversed and or helped with metabolic syndrome. Metabolic syndrome and insulin resistance is highly associated with tinnitus. Cold showers do...

Thank you kindly for this advice. I think I'll buy the part. I didn't notice any link to that when browsing. I appreciate your help.

I have the three lasers, batteries and a case for the Konftec EM-520 LLLT device. I lost the controller with LCD display that powers the lasers. I used it for about two weeks a couple of years ago until I lost the controller. I will send it free of charge to whoever wants it. Just give me $20...

24 hours at most once a week. Most days I fast 16-20 hours. Every couple months I try to go 36 hours and the most I've done was 60 or so hours. I drink water and coffee and I would add salt if I craved it but I usually don't. My intuition is that it's important to go 24 hours at least once a...

Watch the video. It is incredible information.

I felt the same way at first. I started fasting intermittently - meaning 18 hours each day, no food or calories - about 3 years ago. It is much easier if you are on a low carb diet, which is the only healthy diet long term. I eat about 10% of calories from carbs including simple sugars. I...

The biosciences know almost nothing about how the body works. NOTHING. It appears as if the progress is good because of the volume of the discussion and the media reporting on the number of new scientific papers. But this is not a useful metric. The useful metric is how well we understand...

I know this is many months later. I hope you are feeling better. Please hang in there. I also notice a sharp reduction in tinnitus when I fast. I am in the middle of a 3 or 4-day water/coffee/tea fast now after I got a spike from a hair clipper too close to my ear for too long. It is day...

I give blood regularly to reduce iron stores which is measured by your Ferritin blood level. The suggested ranges for Ferritin are very high and ignore the very strong associations between high Ferritin, like above 200, and increased rates of heart disease and cancer. I read a book about it...

Different forms have very different digestibility and affects. Magnesium Citrate pills seem to give me tingling in the hands and feet. ONE teaspoon (half of a serving) of the Natural Calm makes me dream and sleep like a rock, with the Turmeric and Turmerich, it reduced tinnitus better than...

I only took Prednisone for a day, then switched to Dexamethasone which lowered my tinnitus by 50% while I was on it. After I stopped the Prednisone, the tinnitus came back and has varied and or gotten worse over these 3+ years.

Thank you both, I will try it stat and report back. Health hacking is low risk and high hope! Cheers to your reduced tinnitus.

Not true at all. Hyperacusis is in increase in auditory gain. If the sound levels you are exposed to are bothersome you reduce them by avoiding or protecting your ears - always. Your ENT misspoke or does not know what he's talking about. Hyperacusis usually slowly subsides as you become...

They probably can't enroll requests because it is non random selection. It creates a bias in the sample to be studied.

I had a very bad spike after a cold virus that lasted 12 days until I remembered to take my Vitamin D3 5000 IU and 15mg of Zinc - in addition to a multivitamin. I got a DRAMATIC, unambiguous relief in tone, volume and intrusion the day after taking the Vitamin D3 and Zinc. This happened...

I can't speak to it, but my guess is it wouldn't hurt if you do it in small doses and monitor your response slowly.

I have been laser treating intermittently, always for only 10 minutes per session in the affected ear and using each of the three wavelengths in turn for about 5 days on, 5 days off. I think my hearing may have improved slightly but I cannot confirm yet. I do an at home online hearing test and...

Here is an excellent youtube video by the director of the movie "Fat Head". It is long but it is worth it. He makes a powerful case for the wisdom of crowds as a better source of nutrition information than doctors and national health organizations. I think this powerful idea applies to...

I just started using the Konftec device with all three wavelength ear lasers. The 660, 780 and 808 nm. I use one of each for 10 minutes a day on alternate days and i'm on day 6. I noticed a difference in my T tone after the 5th treatment, a very obvious and strong difference in tone that...

You will get better. The T might not go away, but your attention on it and its effects on you will dwindle away. You have this to look forward to. It will become less intrusive and less bothersome. Good Luck

I had to work my way up to a 44 hour fast, which I did recently. You begin by skipping breakfast on morning. Then skipping breakfast and lunch and so on. It becomes much easier than you think. There is always a short hunger period, perhaps periods of hunger, then you are no longer hungry for...

I strongly suggest you hold off of surgery until you have had many weeks or months to research it online. I have recently had chronic rhinitis with clear runny nose for over 6 months. It was not discolored mucous and there were no other symptoms so it was not caused by a primary viral or...

Don't go. It's not worth it. Wear ear plugs including custom attenuating plugs whenever you MUST be in very loud environments. The world around you is accustomed to self harm. They're unusual. Not you. Find solace in intimate get togethers and quiet recreation.

You need to get a hearing test. The septoplasty and sinus surgery may have caused additional hearing damage but I'm guessing it's not likely since the surgery is common and hearing loss is not often reported. Oftentimes a loud sound will trigger Tinnitus in an ear with historical hearing loss...

I'm sorry. I experience the same indifference and incompetence from half the doctors I've seen and it enrages me. We deserve doctors with greater concern for us and with pen to paper organization and great communication skills. I usually just get an indifferent sociopath that does not speak...

This is true in some rich Western European countries. In private clinics in poor countries you get the same or better treatment. They won't let you leave a hospital without finding out what is wrong with you. They actually call you back, take your phone calls and can discuss your condition on...

Have you been to; http://dizzy-doctor.com/ These seem like great otologists and ENTs because they do a great job on the website of discussing different perplexing Ear issues and giving their opinion. I've learned a lot from this website. As for doctors....Especially in the United States...

That might be true. I hope you can find diversion in life to keep your mind off of the tinnitus. I love walking near water. Does water help you mask? Rain? This is usually very calming for high pitch T.

I got custom ear plugs that are molded from my outer ear but I only use them in loud environments and recently, probably not enough. They filter frequencies other than voice by reducing their volume 10-20db. They cost about $120 at Sams Club

Ukraine, Bulgaria and probably most Eastern European countries are not breaking down morally relative to the West. If anything they are far stronger in this regard than the USA, UK and Germany.

It's a very good idea to share information with them. I'm familiar with VK but I don't have any social media presence. Google translate is usually good enough for Russian and Ukrainian translation to get the basic idea across. You can message me personally if you find anyone who wants to post...

Anima, hope you are doing better. I suspect that the spike is temporary. It will get better. Hang in there and persevere. I agree you should stop the laser therapy completely at least for a while and if you decide to resume it then take lower dosage and less often until you know you can...
