    Examining the Possibility of a Viral Cofactor with Noxacusis

    Warning: long, speculative rabbit hole. I came across this study last night and was intrigued (I'm going to tie this into noxacusis, stick with me): Middle Ear Muscle Dysfunction as the Cause of Meniere's Disease It suggests that hydrops is perhaps a consequence of middle ear dysfunction in...

    Fudan University's Huperzine A Tinnitus Study

    Somehow this trial has fallen under the radar but is interesting and the current phase wraps up end of this year: Effects of Huperzine A on Presbycusis(Δ,kHz, dB,MMSE, AD) Huperzine A is an Acetylcholinesterase (AChE) Inhibitor and it seems most relevant to age-related hearing loss sufferers...

    Noxacusis: Mild? Moderate? Severe?

    I don't think I quite realized how confusing noxacusis terminology is until I got it myself. It's been eye opening to say the least. With tinnitus, I easily knew the brief period I had it severely was "severe" (could only be masked by a noise as loud as a hair dryer) and understand that it is...

    Do Any of You Live by Yourself with Hyperacusis?

    Hi all, So I have developed ear and face pain recently and even though my case isn't severe (I can do 80% of normal daily activity with ear plugs in), I live with someone now (my reselling partner) whose long term plans are likely to take him back to the state he's from. That could happen as...

    Multiple Tinnitus Tones and Reactive Tones: Prognosis and Etiology?

    I'm writing this on behalf of someone who wants to know if others suffer from this but doesn't have the mental or emotional energy to start the thread themselves and asked me if I would. Is there anyone here who has about a dozen tinnitus tones and multiple reactive tones on top of this...

    Medical Advancements

    Starting a thread for anyone who is interested in following medical progress in general and not just in the otology and tinnitus space. It's definitely a transformative time for medicine where research is moving away from symptomatic treatment and addressing the underlying pathophysiology. I...

    Cilantro Extract

    After reading this, I'm very curious if it's possible to affect potassium ion channels appreciably naturally. Going to give this a go: https://www.fasebj.org/doi/10.1096/fj.201900485R Has anyone else tried cilantro extract?

    Letter to the FDA (Dr. Janet Woodcock)

    I had mentioned this in other threads, but I had been working on a letter to Dr. Woodcock of the FDA. Before I sent it to her, however, I was looking for member feedback. I know a few people have expressed interest in helping me with this letter. The mods suggested I put this post in this...

    Gateway Biotechnology

    Came across this website and biotech company. They apparently have a drug for tinnitus and another for treating NIHL in pre-clinical. As well as a prevention for NIHL in phase 2. So far, though, I can find no other info about them apart from their website. Anyone know more...

    Examples of Neuroplasticity

    Ultimately, whether by regenerative medicine or bimodal stimulation (once they fine tune it better especially), neuroplasticity is what will be needed to reduce or eliminate tinnitus at that point. There are lots of examples of this working conceptually; Mirror therapy for phantom limb...

    Guillain-Barré

    Anyone have experience with this? This is unrelated to tinnitus, but it looks like my best friend (and the only person who was in the trenches with me through all my health battles) is facing this. I'm at the ER with him and he is rapidly losing the ability to walk and I'm scared shitless...
