    My Tinnitus Is Completely Gone

    just relaying my personal experience. I do not work for willmar schwabe. i cannot prove it worked for me, just saying this was basically the only medication I was on during my later recovery period. i stress low dose. you also have to believe it works. In China they give you gingko in...

    My Tinnitus Is Completely Gone

    i didn't get any withdrawal. I stopped taking it after my tinnitus went away. i was taking 40 mg a day I do occasionally take 40 mg + magnesium + tibetan nutmeg if I experience loud noises that cause temporary ringing though.. just as a safety precaution. I did not have much success with the...

    My Tinnitus Is Completely Gone

    also get this, I just got a hearing test 2 months ago and the ear i lost 50 db in is actually hearing better the ear that experienced SHL actually has better high frequency response. i'm thinking the roids, gingko, vinpocetine etc. targeted the bad ear and actually improved it beyond baseline

    My Tinnitus Is Completely Gone

    if you take too much it can make your t-worse. that's what happened to me when I took 120 mg once of twice a day 1 40 mg or 2 40 mg GERMAN EGB761 has been optimal for me. no BS unless my T got better on its own, it was basically the only treatment I did the 2nd time around I added Tibetan...

    My Tinnitus Is Completely Gone

    UPDATE since making this thread it was completely gone. then it came back for 1 month around July/August now it's completely gone again I am convinced low dose 40-60 mg once per day works well I also used TIBETAN NUTMEG the 2nd time around now my tinnitus is silent again, even if I cover...

    My Tinnitus Is Completely Gone

    it's entirely reversible. i had raging T from ETD.. and when my right ear popped it went away right away in that ear. i think NOISE exposure T is also reversible but you have to experiment. What I did was try everything in the beginning.
  11. B

    My Tinnitus Is Completely Gone

    it's reversible if it's caused by sudden hearing loss Eustachian Tube Dysfunction Airplane Ear Earwax Eardrum puncture but if it's caused by ACUTE NOISE EXPOSURE it may be tougher, but I do hear if you take magnesium and gingko right after it sometimes works. Noise exposure T is harder to...

    My Tinnitus Is Completely Gone

    yes. I would rather get one with a lower dosage. maybe 40 mg tablets I found that if I took too much sometimes it exacerbated the T I would stick with 40-80mg daily i take 40 now and it is working very well. to be fair, I still can occasionally hear something in complete silence.. but it...

    My Tinnitus Is Completely Gone

    the walmart stuff is fake. it's like garlic powder or something else. it's BS. you can buy anything as long as its EGB761. this is teh german formulation sold under many diff brand names I went to the source and got the ORIGINAL one from willmar schwabe.

    My Tinnitus Is Completely Gone

    the worst T is the distinct ringing type with a clear pitch. I had that in the beginning as it improved it turned into the 'back of the tv' sound. this was far more bearable and I didn't even notice it most of the time. I think even before I got T, I could still hear that "back of the TV"...

    My Tinnitus Is Completely Gone

    yes. it wasn't that irritating and was only audible in complete silence. it's hard to describe what that sound is. it's not really a hiss, but it's not a tone either. it's very similar to the back of TV sound u could hear as a kid

    My Tinnitus Is Completely Gone

    at first it was a distinct ring like a tone but as it got better it turned into a slight hiss. similar to what you could hear behind an old school TV

    My Tinnitus Is Completely Gone

    yes i got ETD after hyperbaric treatment. it caused tinnitus in the good ear too. yes the ear felt full and clogged.. like it wanted to pop but couldn't so I know ETD can cause T.. and it goes away once the ear is unplugged

    Hydrogen Peroxide

    are you experiencing hearing loss or just tinnitus? when i first got sudden hearing loss I thought it was earwax and it delayed my treatment for a few days. make sure it isn't sudden hearing loss.

    Hydrogen Peroxide

    you should probably get it checked out to make sure it isn't infected in case you damaged your tympanic membrane. ear infections, plugged ears, etd etc. can all cause temporary tinnitus. they go away when the infection heals or the ears unplug. I was a victim of both following HBOT treatment...

    Hydrogen Peroxide

    it can cause hyperacusis and wonky hearing but prob not tinnitus. you probably a plugged eustachian tube. if it wasn't caused by acute noise exposure, it will probably get better on its own over time

    My Tinnitus Is Completely Gone

    also sometimes if I experienced bad noise exposure I would take magnesium and gingko supplements right away as a preventive measure

    My Tinnitus Is Completely Gone

    Yes. the only thing I have been doing is the gingko and the last remants of my tinnitus went away after taking low doses of egb761 just make sure you get the german made ones. do not mess with US supplements from walgreens, walmart, GNC all fake.

    Been Gone Awhile, Not a Success Story

    Try EGb761 Ginkgo. Also try HBOT. It might not cure you completely since you're 6 months out, but it will make it better I think.

    My Tinnitus Is Completely Gone

    only taking 40 mg a day of the egb761 i think dosage matters too. i remember one time I took too much and it spiked my tinnitus. i stick with 40-80 mg max. 120 mg is too much.

    My Tinnitus Is Completely Gone

    yes - 50 DB hearing loss from about 3000 hz and up the hearing has completely recovered but it took a few months. the biggest gains happened in the first 10 days though yes I feel that as the tinnitus vanished, high frequency hearing has improved. I'm talking about 8K plus.

    My Tinnitus Is Completely Gone

    it absolutely does cause T. i got raging T in both ears after HBOT treatment. when the right ear unplugged, the T went away in that ear, but I still had T from the left that suffered from SHL. if your T is caused by ETD than it is definitely curable. if your T is from sudden hearing loss it is...

    My Tinnitus Is Completely Gone

    Yes. it's EGb 761. Virtually all of the retail Ginkgo in the US is useless. Many contain just rice and asparagus powder. It's a scam. You need to get pharma grade Ginkgo. Anything from GERMANY that says EGb 761 should suffice. Mine are 20 mg tablets though not 40.

    Hearing Recovered, Tinnitus Went Away

    yes for me it was within 4-5 months. It took that long to cure it. when I first made this thread it was about 95% gone. I could hear some sounds in complete silence, but over the last few days even that is gone. I actually credit pharma grade GINGKO BILOBA

    Whose Tinnitus Actually Went Away Though?

    I am a success story. Tinnitus went away. Had it for about 4 months. Silence is beautiful don't let the haters get to you. stay positive. Tinnitus is entirely curable depending on the cause

    Hearing Recovered, Tinnitus Went Away

    I didn't even notice it, but in the last few days the T completely disappeared. even the faint sound I heard in complete silence. People have to stay positive. I never tripped out over it or stressed over it. T is curable. I'm proof. I had it for 4 months

    My Tinnitus Is Completely Gone

    I am convinced GINKGO works for curing tinnitus.. the problem is US supplements are BS and contain no active ingredients. Get the WILLMAR SCHWABE GERMAN GINKGO. Expensive but it works! Hopefully it's gone for good, but the tinnitus lasted for about 4 months with the initial 2 months being the...

    Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy

    I only did six sessions and stopped due to my ear getting plugged aka barotrauma. it caused T in both of my ears as both ears were plugged for well over a month. But initially after 3-4 sessions it cured my hyperacusis. I also think long term it was good. If people want to do it they need to...

    My Tinnitus Is Completely Gone

    I posted an update 1-2 months back telling people my tinnitus was basically gone, but now it's completely gone.

    Hearing Recovered, Tinnitus Went Away

    oh yeah and hyperacusis can be WORSE than T. like regular noises just go BOOM and crash your ears. the hyperacusis was the first to go, esp. after hyperbaric treatment

    Hearing Recovered, Tinnitus Went Away

    one thing I did was that I never panicked or tripped out. I think this lowered stress levels that allowed recovery. I was in a bad situation with 50% hearing loss in one year and raging variable T on the left. but I never stressed that much and did everything I could hoping something would...

    Any More Positive Stories?

    the best success story is when the T goes away. You should aim high. I am an example of someone whose T went away 99.5%. I had severe raging T in both ears. T due to ETD is entirely curable. T due to hair cell damage is harder, but if you catch it early you can recover IMO.

    tinnitus is directly related to hearing loss and sudden hearing loss 90% of sudden hearing loss sufferers also suffer from T. you will get you hearing back, esp. if it didn't go completely deaf in the bad ear basically 60% of people recover with no treatment but take the steroids just to be...

    When Will My Eustachian Tubes Clear Up??

    it took about a month for me. happened after hyperbaric oxygen therapy. ETD can cause severe tinnitus. I had T from from sudden hearing loss in my left ear, but after hyperbaric I suffered ETD which caused raging T in both ears. it subsided after my ears cleared up PSEUDO EPHEDRINE really...

    Hearing Recovered, Tinnitus Went Away

    if you suffered from noise induced taking magnesium and gingko right away can reverse the hearing loss. Studies have proven it IIRC. there was one time a couple weeks in when I was at the club and got too much noise exposure and T went off the charts, prob. indicating a serious temp threshold...

    Hearing Recovered, Tinnitus Went Away

    i can hear a faint sound at times if I force myself too while plugging my ears. It's actually so faint I wouldn't even call it T. it's like .3/10 compared to my worst at 6/10. I just tried it right now and could hear nothing. It's gone. T is curable. this is the message I'm trying to get...

    Hearing Recovered, Tinnitus Went Away

    it's not perception. it actually went away basically. i can't hear it even if I try when there is at least some background noise. in complete silence, I can hear a faint sound when I try but rarely is there complete silence. but I also remember hearing this type of "tv buzz" sound prior to...
  45. B

    Hearing Recovered, Tinnitus Went Away

    no. there is no sound anymore. or basically no sound. it's very faint. I am trying to listen for it but nothing is there. if I cup my ears I can probably hear a faint tone, but it's highly faint. this is not a case of me ignoring it. it went away.

    are you doing any treatments now? did you try anything? T can go down even if you treat it later.

    I Now Have Double Tinnitus!

    also don't avoid noise like a lot of new T sufferers. i believe the ear getting simulation is good for recovery. when i had full blown SHL, i still went to clubs. I just didn't stand very close to the speakers.

    I Now Have Double Tinnitus!

    Hearing Recovered, Tinnitus Went Away

    you should buy your own laser. 808 nm with at least 100-200 watts IIRC it's around 1-2K. I used a 650 nm laser at around 10 watts. not sure if it worked, but I tried it. the stronger laser should work as it regenerates cells

    Hearing Recovered, Tinnitus Went Away

    yeah girls preserve their hearing much better than guys. if you can hear up to 20K you have very good ears. hearing loss is worse than T. With hearing loss the entire world feels unbalanced, esp. if it's asymmetric. I would just try everything that cannot harm you. Vinco and Gingko cannot harm...

    Hearing Recovered, Tinnitus Went Away

    also WIFI can make T worse. When I put my ear close to a WIFI router, T increased. Stay at least 5-10 feet away from the WIFI router.
  54. B

    Hearing Recovered, Tinnitus Went Away

    you must be young. Most people can only hear up to 15K by around 30 years old. your T could be caused by Eustachian Tube Dysfunction. Does your ear feel slightly plugged? I got crazy T in my good ear after I got ETD. T has many causes.
  55. B

    Hearing Recovered, Tinnitus Went Away

    is your T or hearing loss getting better? I remember encouraging you to do the hyperbaric. Also when you first get T or hearing loss you should research the basic protocol and force your ENT to give you that regimen.
  56. B

    Hearing Recovered, Tinnitus Went Away

    BETAHISTINE DID NOT WORK FOR ME and I think at times it increased my T. I think it causes too much blood flow which can lead to inflammation. I would stay away from it.
  57. B

    Hearing Recovered, Tinnitus Went Away

    Eustachain Tube Dysfunction is crazy. it CAUSES T. I got T in my GOOD EAR after doing Hyperbaric. So bad that I had to stop treatment. Your T may be related to ETD. once you unplug your ears T goes away instantly
  58. B

    Hearing Recovered, Tinnitus Went Away

    yes. I think noise induced can be cured as well if you catch it early. the hair cells don't die right away, but get severely flattened. I also think it's very complex since people aren't sure if the nerves or actual hair cells are damaged. Nerves can regenerate for the most part. Gingko...

    yes it was idiopathic. I was sitting on my chair 4-5 hours after an airplane ride and my left ear just went KAPUT and lost 50% of my hearing.
