Can you make a picture of the one you have? That would be really helpful :)

@SoundB0und Sounds not too bad! Can you post a picture of the product you are using?

What is the recommend dosage for Prednisolone? I had a recent (mild) acoustic trauma and want to give the steroids a try.

Can you give some details about your setup? DIY?

I think so too. My plan is to get a 10W or 20W IR emitter, put it on a heatsink and to wire it up (no pulsing), just a simple on/off switch. Currently looking for the right hardware and some kind of stand / mount or something to hold it safely.

I asked him about it, his answer was:

I am also a bit skeptical. I wonder if power density of 1500 mW/cm2 is sufficient to penetrate deep enough into the skull to reach the inner ear. What do you think?

It does. But a "quiet" one and he says it's not a problem to use it touching the ear

You are talking about the Infrared device (left) with 760nm and 830nm? This looks like its made to cast a kinda wide beam, since the bulb is relatively small. There is a new device actually, the Infrared 830. It has a big bulb to cast a more "focussed" beam and is 100% 830nm for deep penetration...

Question is, where to get such a device? I haven't seen anything with such amount of power

Is there any safe way to get your ears cleaned?

That's good news - looking forward for your impressions! I recently thought it might even be better to use the 830nm device, since it has more power and the penetration depth of the IR-range light is better. I dont know if the IR combo has enough power to reach the inner ear since you can...

Anyway, so here is my report: Status report LLLT Name: Chris Device (brand, wavelength and power): Redlightman IR Combo, 620 ◦ 670 ◦ 760 ◦ 830 nm (200 mW/cm² @5cm) Lasering since: 16.12.2017 Protocol (every day? Duration): every day for 15 min, changing position of the lamp. Distance about...

Anima, good to hear that you are doing better man! I know what a damn spike can do to you, it's ****

I dont know if that was too much, might be the case. I'm just diving a bit "deeper" into the field of Photobiomodulation, so don't take anything I say for sure or granted. I'm just a fool - like all of us actually. We're just guessing and trying to catch at a straw, I think that makes us human...

Hi Anima, maybe you are doing too much? At Lumomed they told me that they are doing 3-4x30 min per week even in acute phase. They said that the ear needs rest to use the extra amount of energy, maybe that's the reason. No one knows anything for sure, just a quick thought. They also stated...

Hi Wim, I had a treatment with Lumomed in Germany and it didn't help me overall, but I have to admit I only did 5 Sessions (after 4 months of noise-induced T). In my opinion you need a constant treatment, you cold easily get a Konftec Laser for that amount of money or even a Lucky Laser. Plus...

At what distance do you keep the lamp while using? And how often do you use it for how long? Any information about this would be really helpful, thank you!

Hey @Tom Cnyc - any chance for a quick statement on this? I ordered the redlightman combo-light. Much appreciated!

How can people seriously fall for that? I can't imagine. I mean just look at this image WHAT. THE. HECK.

Interesting. There actually is a German ENT which had some success with high dosages of Vitamin B6 (600mg daily) in combination with 1200mg NAC daily. This combination raises Glutathione levels in the blood which he claims is benefitial for the inner ear, especially after acoustic trauma. I'm...

I use a Vitamin B complex since I have my T. The one I am currently using has an amount of 20mg Pyridoxin (Vitamin B6). I read that overdoses may occur if you take more than 500mg daily. How much Pyridoxin did your supplement contain?

I have been using this one for about 4 Weeks now with some success. T tends to be a bit down. I used Trimagnesiumdicitrate before, which seemed to make my T a bit more aggressive. Still looking for an explanation, but I read somewhere that the citrate form has the potential to "excite" or...

That seems to be a good idea. What kind of earmuffs are you using?

I guess they would be in denial about any therapeutic benefits. But only because it is extremely bad to their business. Imagine every potential paying customer having an serious alternative available they could get for just around ~100 Bucks and use that thing anytime and anywhere they want...

I guess this is exactly the one @Tom Cnyc was talking about in his above post?

Hello Tom, that device is interesting indeed. But how do you deal with the wide beam of the light? At what distance to the ear do you hold the device? And what's your protocol - do you use it on a daily basis? Do you protect or cover your eyes while using? Hello Jan, so you would definitely...

Hi Jan, in general: Do you think that the 90mW of the Konftec Laser are enough "power" to hit/reach the Cochlea? Dr. Wilden uses 250mW on his device for home therapy. What's your opinion?

Says a Laser-Manufacturer.. @Bobby B provided an excellent Link in the depth of this Thread where Michael R. Hamblin himself (the "Godfather" of LLLT) says that the source of Light (Laser, LED) does not matter. It's all about wavelength, Power and penetration depth.

Hello Jan, thanks for your kind answer and the provided information. Yes, my T is noise induced (acoustic trauma due to a loud concert) and is only on one side. I was standing to close to the speaker plus I had an infection that time which I was not really aware of. So I think there must be...

Hello Jan, Has the laser already achieved any successes? Since when do you do the treatment? Did the order at Konftec work smoothly? I also consider giving the whole thing a chance.. (8 months in at noise-induced T) Greetings!

Hi mjroth, can you tell something about your experiences with using that device? Did it have any effect on your condition?

Same question here: Which kind of Zinc have you been taking? It would be helpful to provide some more info :)

Which kind of Zinc have you been taking?

Hi John, how is your experiment with LLLT going? I have some experience with the one administered by Dr. Wildens son. I'm planning to build my own LED or Laser device as well. Is it possible to get in touch? Cheers

So it is just 850nm? I know that Dr. Wilden for example is using two different Wavelengths (pulsating, changing every 10 seconds or so. You can actually hear it "clicking". Power source: which voltage would be correct? I think I'm gonna try the battery solution first to simplify matters. Plan...

Hi there, I just registered only to participate in this Thread. I have some experiences with LLLT done by Lumomed in Germany (son of Dr. Wilden). I don't want to support their extensive prices anymore. This Thread is really huge and it's nearly impossible for someone who is new to the Thread to...
