    New University of Michigan Tinnitus Discovery — Signal Timing

    There are several concerning reviews of Lenire on Tinnitus Talk of it making tinnitus worse for people. I'm surprised that these sort of results did not show up in the trial results. It also makes me concerned about any other treatments like the Michigan Tinnitus Device that's coming out and...

    Novavax Coronavirus (COVID-19) Vaccination Experiences — Did It Make Your Tinnitus Worse?

    I did my research and found that the Novavax was the one with the lowest percentage of reported tinnitus side effects. I went ahead and took the vaccine. About a week later it spiked my tinnitus quite a bit which lasted for a while, I was very worried about it. Fortunately, it settled down...

    New University of Michigan Tinnitus Discovery — Signal Timing

    I keep seeing references to 510(k) approval process but the last time I looked, De Novo was mentioned on the Michigan Univesity website. I looked at the site again but they changed things around and I can't find it anymore. Maybe they won't go with De Novo after all but when I looked last time...

    New University of Michigan Tinnitus Discovery — Signal Timing

    I like the sound of that timeline. I wonder what makes you think approval will take place in July 2024?

    Elon Musk’s Neuralink Looking to Treat Tinnitus

    So Neuralink was approved for a 6-year trial to test its safety. I think they are still looking for candidates and haven't installed the device yet but once it is installed, it will simply sit there for 6 years basically to see how safe it is to have in someone's head. Did I get this right? So...

    Something I came across in my research that gives me hope regarding Dr. Shore's device:

    Deep Brain Stimulation (DBS) for Tinnitus

    @Jammer, I'm surprised that your negative outcome wasn't reported on the results of the trial unless I missed something. I would think that this would be included. It makes me curious about these reports and if they sometimes omit information. @SarahMLFlemmer, it is surprising how many...

    New University of Michigan Tinnitus Discovery — Signal Timing

    I'm excited to try this out when it comes out but I also have to be cautious. I am trying to find out any information about any adverse effects or tinnitus getting worse for those that participated in the clinical trial but I'm having trouble reading through the ClinicalTrial.gov results page...

    Elon Musk’s Neuralink Looking to Treat Tinnitus

    Between Neuralink and DBS surgery, I'm curious which one has a faster pathway to success. DBS surgery is already approved for many treatments so in a way it's already ahead. If they figure out how to make it work for tinnitus, I imagine it would be quicker to approve than Neuralink (which I...

    Deep Brain Stimulation (DBS) for Tinnitus

    I'm sorry to hear it didn't work for you. If I'm understanding right, the tinnitus got worse after the surgery and didn't revert to how it was before, even after removing the device? It's an experimental surgery at this point but even so, it's still heartbreaking to hear of your experience. I...

    Deep Brain Stimulation (DBS) for Tinnitus

    That's tough to hear especially since there was success with it. It's hard to imagine why the reviews would be mixed on something so promising :( I hope you stay in touch with him and can provide us with another update in the future.

    Jumping/Jogging Changes the Pitch: A Sign of Somatic Tinnitus?

    I am trying to figure out if this is an indication of somatic tinnitus because I would like to know if mine is somatic. Mine is constant, 24/7 high pitch. When I jog or jump up and down I notice that it changes in pitch. On the downward motion, it goes up in pitch. So as I'm jogging or...

    Dr. Will Sedley Requesting YOUR Input — Predictive Brain Processing for Tinnitus

    Looks like the study started in late 2020 from what I gather. I wonder if there's any timeframe on results from the study, awaiting patiently :)

    Supplementation with Açaí (Euterpe Oleracea Martius) for the Treatment of Chronic Tinnitus

    I saw this study and was curious about it too. I'm not familiar with THI or what constitutes a low score.I'm assuming that's what the last comments were indicating, that the reduction recorded was tiny and that the placebo group also received almost the same reduction amount?

    Deep Brain Stimulation (DBS) for Tinnitus

    Assuming someone wanted DBS procedure for tinnitus, from what I understand, there are trials happening but it's not a procedure you can ask for yet. Well, I guess there's that one exception in the Netherlands but you have to be a resident there.

    Seeking "Noisy" Hobbies — The Combination of Masking and Distraction Helps My Tinnitus

    Thanks for the suggestions everyone and here's what I have so far: Cooking - can be full of all sorts of lovely sounds (exhaust fan, frying pan, water, etc. etc.) Learning a musical instrument (Ukulele especially for those bright happy sounds) Music production (computer-based vs real...

    New University of Michigan Tinnitus Discovery — Signal Timing

    I was curious about the FDA approval process. Specifically, I was wondering if this is true - Since Lenire has already applied for FDA approval and is first in line (ahead of the University of Michigan), does that mean that if they are approved first then it will make it easier/faster for...

    Seeking "Noisy" Hobbies — The Combination of Masking and Distraction Helps My Tinnitus

    So I was wrapping Christmas presents today and the sound of the crinkle paper was great. Yes, of course, I use a masking device and it's on all the time. I guess the difference is that I was involved in something that was making noise so there was the masking effect and the attention given to...

    Best Ways to Measure the Intensity / Level of Tinnitus?

    Does anybody have any recommendation for measuring the intensity/level of tinnitus? I will be trying different remedies in an effort to decrease the intensity of it and wants to every so often check in on it. I have an app called Sonic (iPhone) which allows me to change the pitch and volume...

    Poll: Would You Find It Useful to Track the Intensity of Tinnitus?

    Wanted to take a poll and find out if this would be useful to the tinnitus community. I imagine this would be only useful to those with a constant pitch. Sometimes I can't tell if it's louder or changes in pitch slightly and I would like to know if it's really like that or just in my head...
