Let me just say this: Holy Damn... this prednison is some drug, reminds of molly. I was going mad yesterday, my mind racing, eye's like search lights. This stuff is heavy, I think I even felt emotions :p Kidding aside this was an emotional roller coaster. Went to bed with what seemed like a...

There are multiple inflammatory elements to hearing loss and tinnitus. Have you ever tried diamine-oxidase supplementation?

The damage is only around 10dB which to me is horrible because I really like music and now my right hifi speaker is worthless... I've been developing treatments for hearing recovery for two years and started to run into the capital wall really quickly. So then I started 5 businesses and I'm...

Effect of low-level laser treatment on cochlea hair-cell recovery after acute acoustic trauma. https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/22734788 Light reduces inflammatory reactions and provides the cell with energy to affect repairs.

So sorry Senad, I've not been active here lately.

Fancy being here again... I'm finding myself considering whether or not to take prednisone after I was exposed to society at large and its massive stupidity once more. I have a painful cochlea, fullness in the ear, acoustic trauma with two notches in my right ear, shown below in green, and a...

It doesn't. Nobody has been smart enough to figure out the only way to measure it is by comparing it to external sound measured in dB.

Explain to your husband that the only parallel to tinnitus is total madness. Whenever a schizophrenic hears voices in his/her head he/she can not ignore them because they are literally inside him/her. A good book to read about how this works from an experience perspective is one from Julian...

Oh yeah I had to water cool mine with a pump. This should be fine; https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00MQ4LJK8/ref=twister_B00IECYEDK?_encoding=UTF8&psc=1 They fit over glasses.

The same way you can hear someone talk during a rock concert. Adding two tones does not make either one inaudible. You can still hear the difference, no matter how loud your own tinnitus is. This of course does not apply to signal to noise ratios and would be better seen with a speech...

I've quickly taken two pics of my current prototype. It has a lot of issues starting with a complete inability of one single person to set the lasers in the correct position based upon ones individual anatomy. A second issue is how the lasers shine directly into both your eyes if you take it off...

My LED device did not help my tinnitus much but it did very predictably give me a migraine when I tried to parts of the anatomy around the head where the light would penetrate deeper into the nervous system. So at the very least I've proven to myself that light can affect the nervous system. I...

I've received my parts and constructed it,noted what can and must be improved, and will take the prototype to an engineer for design improvements and a price quote for a limited first run. I've also reserved an organisation domain name and thought about gathering the data properly. Have some...

As for my own progress and selling pre-made LT devices: After asking the forum staff I have yet to decide on what to do with the product I'm about to make. I believe that the forum no promotion policy should be maintained and as such I don't want to sell stuff on this forum. On the other hand...

This thread is hilarious at times, do you guys mind staying on topic here please. The topic is the production of the most worthwhile and effective (not just cost effective) device following the rules of fundamental biology and physics; backed by current science, but NOT led by it, because...

I stand corrected :) They are significantly better.

Nah I don't think they're much better.

Ahh.. I hadn't thought about it... this is my first new years eve with tinnitus... I think I'll take my partner out to a place far away from a city, overlooking it so that we can enjoy the fireworks at a distance. I use these https://www.alpinehearingprotection.com/earplugs/musicsafe-pro/ Wish...

All I can say now is Wow... I'll have to read more after next week.

Hehe good catch :) But I was refering the situation wherin one lowers the action potentials of all neurons at the same time everywhere in the auditory system, thereby reducing tinnitus (and all other brain or auditory activity). The problem with that is that you also lose more hearing. Say you...

I doubt very much the hearing loss is coincedental. If you have T & H it means your auditory system was recently damaged, it stands to reason you also have hearing damage from the same cause. Especially if the hearing damage location is the same wavelength, or close, as your T or H.

Update headgear prototype; Since everyone needs it and I just can't take seeing people buy really expensive crap anymore I've started prototyping a device. I'm sorry it took longer than two days, I tried to do it during the week but eventually had to plan it for today. I have picked all the...

Well it was meant as a public respons, but you're welcome :) 4c shows words comprehension in lower SNR, but nowhere near low enough to be lost in noise to the extent of losing the data. You had stated: however, 'lost in the noise' means unrecoverable per definition. Regardless of semantics...

No that is what the body can manage on its own without any help. If you would introduce a genotherapy that reprograms the cells to revert to an earlier state they would repopulate the entire system (or give you terminal brain cancer). LLLT works by introducing a power surplus and initiating the...

I'm afraid I was not talking about the same thing. The paper you quoted doesn't claim one can improve hearing or physical signal processing. When we say noise in science (not the same as a noisy environment) usually we mean no computer no matter how powerful can ever de-noise whatever the signal...

I think you're better off buying the lucky laser than this because the cross pattern isn't helpful to concentrate power into the ear. You know what, since almost everyone is having problems with this... give me two days to think about designing and making a portable headset with two 250mW 650nm...

Update; I thought it would be nice to give an interesting update about my journey in all of this. After all this time I still have a headache and tinnitus which is an obviously annoying handicap but I've managed to cope with it decently enough. I think I'll one day be able to reach comparable...

The cerebrum and the central nervous system are not the same in structure and functionality. Smelling something bad does not strengthen your sense of smell :) Thankfully. There's uncertainty (here and in literature) about how the auditory system reorganizes fibers. In principle whenever cells...

Yes, tracking conversations in noise has become quite the annoyance in my life exactly when I got tinnitus. Not much of a surprise since both conditions underlie the same physical principles of internal cellular and systemic noise cancellation. It can not, the limit you describe is a physical...

Both.

Damn that's cheap, new it costs 120 Euro's here... do you guys have a direct line to china or something :) Volts, Amps, and power stabilization; Not quite. Any electrical device only has a voltage rating. The laser module has a DC voltage rating of 3-5V. If you give it 3 Volts it will eat a...

Something like that if you include heat sinks. Yes, butt he first thing you should to is put on the safety glasses, turn on the lasers pointing them away toward a wall without any reflecting surfaces on it. And then unfocus the beam using a piece of paper in the beam path like I did to make...

Sun light can also engrave wood if you focus it. Don't focus it into a point. I've said it before, Lasers are serious business and you need to pay attention whenever using them. You can however focus the module into a thick parallel beam that will not heat up the skin, it will only feel slightly...

I'm sorry I linked the wrong one, This one is far better; http://www.banggood.com/Laser-Module-Red-Laser-Line-Generator-Diode-Engraving-Machine-Parts-p-955966.html?rmmds=category It comes with a battery box, you'll have to buy 3 AA batteries. A Laser module has it's own power regulator, all you...

Well... you can buy a better laser module for a tenth of the price, so if that factors into your feasibility then no. http://www.banggood.com/650nm-80mW-Focusable-Red-Dot-Laser-Module-Laser-Generator-Diode-p-963477.html

For the duration of the treatment. Give or take a few days. Those seem fine but I think they'll heat up in the ear. Try finding normal LED's that you can simply wire up like I made those ear LED's. They fit perfectly. You don't have to turn it up all the way, just supply less power. With...

Yes, I was just having a bad day. A few days later I measured it a few days in a row and I must admit I've had some measurable improvement. but I can not draw the conclusion that LT was the only effective therapy that helped me.

No fights here, no worries. I'm just really short on time and can't always be polite. I'll have to answer succintly because I don't have much time. 810nm was used because it is available since optical drives needed mass production of these optoelectrics, not because it is the best way to...

Because I've read the research. Have you any idea why 810nm was chosen? How positive and by means of what fundamental underlying theory? Have you any idea why 810nm was chosen? How positive and by means of what fundamental underlying theory? If she treated so many patients with success...

Let's all not be wanting to punch holes into thin air with powerful lasers without even the simplest analysis of what they're trying to achieve. Wilden does not use 660nm because the mitochondria do not have any chromophores that react to it. He uses a HeNe laser with a 632nm wavelength. 650nm...

Since LLLT is supposed to work on all tissue, and if fullness in the ear is a tissue problem, it might. But I haven't had much fullness in the ear and it passed before my LLLT.

I believe that is an ambiguous statement with a lack of information transfer to it other than containing suggestive content, which seems to read you've wrongly assumed mental states do not have a physical component to them. In fact all literature clearly and unequivocally shows that stress...

One thing I must note is that my hearing has improved but I have not had time to go to the audiologist for a complete test.

I agree with you Marlino. I myself have also experienced no improvement what so ever. I much rather try direct current stimulation next.

A viral or bacterial infection that crawls up to your ears via the auditory tube may cause permanent damage to the cochlea. Many people have tinnitus because of this and some even go deaf due to it. The problem is an overstimulated immune system response that leaves the cochlea damaged. An...

I lead a perfectly pleasant life, and while I'm studying I still spend time on fixing tinnitus from every angle possible. You and many others make it seem like you have to choose either one or the other, but these are not logically mutually exclusive...

Why does it have to be one or the other?

A Laser might have been more useful, and we'll find out as I use them. Yes, the 10W LED floodlights in this thread. You can buy ten of those and heat your head, those can't hurt you.

There has been no improvement for me with light. 650nm is not "better" or "worse" than 810nm, it's just the choice they made at the time of research. 810nm is not hotter than 650nm, they both have the same energy transfer conveyed in its Wattage. The problem is that when you get in to infrared...

Important: A 10 Watt Led spreads its power over a very wide wavelength range, ranging from 5000 to 6000 Angstrom. A 10 Watt Laser does not spread it's wavelength and concentrates all light in 1 Angstrom, and is therefor saturating your skin with a single wavelength. Your skin will not be able...

I'm deeply sorry for you both. The facial nerve (3) was likely damaged in the middle ear. Since it is seated in bone it can't move out of the way when you drill into it. Personally I can't quite see how the heat produced by a bone drill would damage the nerve temporarily, but I'm only a...

Money, money, money, private institute, cure, nuke the earth from space, live on Mars.

Please explain?

Lone walks as far away from humans as I can, with a book, and my camera. I really like the wind in the leaves.

Now these guy's are real scientists. I'm genuinely impressed.

It's not that the visual snow is caused by tinnitus, they are both essentially the same signal problem expressed in a different process. I tried to explain this to my internists, then they started asking me if I saw anything else. I told them about the blue field entoptic phenomenon, and then...

Just because they hurt my sinuses, I think I may be a little sensitive there. When I was a kid my mother gave me a neti pot with salty water, it hurt then and it hurts now.

I don't know to be honest. The viruses are specifically geared to attack bacteria and have no way of breaching the human cell. If one does breach by accident and multiplies there's no telling what it would do. However we may find a whole lot of comfort in the fact that these viruses are already...

Inflammation reduction with LLLT To start off the next round I'll upload two relevant papers. I have not read them yet.
