    I Developed Sound Distortion in One Ear — Will It Go Away?

    Not yet, when I first developed tinnitus, they just told me to deal with it, but perhaps this time it could be ETD.

    I Developed Sound Distortion in One Ear — Will It Go Away?

    Hi all, About ten days ago, I started noticing a sound distortion in my right ear. I did not take any new medicine and there was no noise exposure. There's a sense of vibration and sound distortion in that ear when there are sounds near it. This also happens when someone talks close to the ear...

    Spike After 6 Stable Years of Tinnitus — Two Factors: Remeron (Mirtazapine) or Low-Carb Diet?

    No i have been guarding my ears from any excessive noise, clubs - never since my 20's, concerts - never ever. It all started with the remeron withdrawal.

    Spike After 6 Stable Years of Tinnitus — Two Factors: Remeron (Mirtazapine) or Low-Carb Diet?

    Hi, after 4 months the time has come to quit. I was on 3.5mg for 1 months and then 0. The result - 10 days of short night sleep (5 hours or so). And a tone on the left ear which i didn't have before. Do i need to be patient and wait for it to subside, or do i need to go back to 3.5 and then...

    Spike After 6 Stable Years of Tinnitus — Two Factors: Remeron (Mirtazapine) or Low-Carb Diet?

    It's not clear - if you tapered from 15 to 7.5 why are you going to back to 30?

    Spike After 6 Stable Years of Tinnitus — Two Factors: Remeron (Mirtazapine) or Low-Carb Diet?

    The result of what was suggested here by @Vin - it just went away after 2-3 days. What amazes me, is why it took 2 (!!) months for the spike to appear AFTER the taper started. it's been a hell to cut 30mg to 3.75, but on the 15th i will going to 7.5.

    Spike After 6 Stable Years of Tinnitus — Two Factors: Remeron (Mirtazapine) or Low-Carb Diet?

    That is an excellent idea. How do i apply it if we have only 30mg tablets here? I know tinnitus is unpredictable but since there was no audiotory damage done it might subside? I have been taking it for at least 4 years.

    Spike After 6 Stable Years of Tinnitus — Two Factors: Remeron (Mirtazapine) or Low-Carb Diet?

    Hi all, after 6 stable years I’m experiencing a spike for the last week. No noise exposure. The only two factors are a low carb diet and Remeron withdrawal but both started two months ago. Tapered from 15 mg to 7.5 mg. Could these factors have any connection to the spike?

    Can Someone Please Give Hope for Hearing Loss Cure?

    Autifony Therapeutics Phase II Study for AUT00063, for the Treatment of Hearing Loss and Tinnitus

    Very good, this still seems absurd though: "Moderate or severe depression or generalised anxiety" as an exclusion criteria. If I'm depressed I won't notice properly if my T has changed or not?

    Why is it so important? We know that people without hearing damage acquire tinnitus and others not. I understand that we want to know the cause, so we'd know if the pill is effective for noise induced T, but even if that's not the reason, a good result is still s good one....

    Is Xanax Safe to Take Just Once?
