    Ghost Pipe Tincture Helps Me Not Care About My Tinnitus

    Hi, Kevin. I'm glad to hear you've gotten relief from the tincture. I have been searching on Etsy but there are many brands and I would like to buy the one that has worked well for you. Would you be so kind as to tell us? Thank you so much.

    Chit Chat and All That...

    @Juan, you shouldn't lie or exaggerate so much. To say that Pedro Sanchez and his government are communists is a bad joke. At most, we could classify them as very moderate center-left. At least the current central government is not corrupt, as were all those from PP. For the first time in many...

    Is There a New Dotcom Bubble?

    @Juan, you just don't tell the truth. Do not trivialize the problem of the squatters. Things are much more complex than you put them. The laws in Spain do not protect the squatters, please, do not say nonsense. The problem lies in a vacuum in the legal system and also in the slowness of the...

    Is There a New Dotcom Bubble?

    Really, Juan? Diaz Ayuso, as you know very well, has several open cases on suspicion of corruption. The following sentences are a sample of what she has in her brain. Read and laugh everyone: "That's why it's called Covid-19, because it's 'coronavirus, December 19.'" "It has shown us that in...

    Tinnitus After Amoxicillin, Habituated — Now a Recent Spike After THC (Marijuana) — Feeling Hopeless

    I'm afraid there is some confusion regarding this topic. Amoxicillin is a very safe antibiotic that does not damage the ears, contrary to Azithromycin, which generally does. @summitplum says that the cause of his tinnitus was Azithromycin, instead in his post blames Amoxicillin. I attest that...

    Prostate Infection and Tinnitus: Choice of Antibiotics and What You Could Do Instead of Antibiotics

    Hi, @T-talker: From personal experience, I would encourage you to take a cranberry extract high in PACs and D-Mannose for a long time (say 240 mg of PACs + 2 grams D-Mannose) and your problem should gradually improve. It worked with me on chronic prostatitis of infectious origin, very...

    Amoxicillin — Ototoxicity / Safety Profile? User Experiences?

    Hi, @DebInAustralia: Amoxicillin is the only 100% safe antibiotic for tinnitus sufferers, in my experience. 10 years ago (I was 65 years old) due to a terrible infection in my mouth, a consequence of oral surgery, I was taking 4 grams daily for 15 days, without major problems.

    Natalie, I'm sorry about your tinnitus. I got severe tinnitus and visual snow after taking Flagyl for an intestinal problem. That was 14 years ago and it never went away.

    Otosclerosis and Tinnitus

    A high-resolution CT is anaesthesia and antibiotics free, and non invasive at all. Do you mean you would let a doctor open up your ears when a CT can do the job safely and simply in a few minutes? I went through all kind of tests dozens of times, including the diapason, like yours, and the...
