45% reduction is good for any kind of approach. I am not aware of invasive approaches such as injections having good effects on tinnitus, except for the one in South Korea, but I believe only few people went there.
When you are having a hot pepper you do not think about tinnitus :)
It should work in a very similar way. I am not completely sure, because the electrical signal might be processed in a different way. Either way, there are probably tongue stimulators already available for sale somewhere, or can...
This is not anything new. It consists of two old things if I am not wrong. Sound masking and electrical stimulation of the trigeminal nerve (V3 nerve exactly). I believe most people use some sounds to mask their tinnitus.
Electrical stimulation of trigeminal nerve is sometimes already used for...
Here is audiometry test, it is noticable there is a reduction around 250hz, and the MRI noise should be a low frequncy noise of 50-1000 hz so it is possible there is a slight hearing reduction in this area.
But I did check using online audiometry testers and found out that my hearing on 250 Hz...
A doctor recommended me to do an MRI scan of brain for neuropathic pain. I possibly made mistake so I done a 1.5 T scan on GE machine without silent scan and I think it was a bit louder than Toshiba Vantage 1.5 T (maybe around 5-10 db or so) on which I did the former MRI last year. Before I had...
I don't have vascular conflicts as ẃell on MRI. The same problem and cause as you, and similar timing as well.
questions:
Does it help you when you rinse you mouth with a lot of toothpaste, or alchololic drints untill it starts to numb. this is something that helps me, but i need to repeat that...
Because this increases and could possibly create signal in peripherial nerves and this could be T cause. but the drug probably has a lot of side effects i have found so it should'b be ued.
Does anyone with Tinnitus have neuropathic pain as well? For me, a month after tinnitus had developed (noise exposure), I started to have (slight - and it then has incresed) possibly "Neuropathic Pain" so I think that these two things migh be connected if not the same type of disorder.
Maybe...
Did anyone use this drug (mainly intended for use after organ transplant to avoid rejection)? It works for peripherial neuropathy and I think it should then work on tinnitus as well.
Should work similarly as HBO as it works on MTor pathway and has something do with removing dead mitohondrias...
Do you use some of these meds and you have no T increase? Because some forum members think T increases because of it.
Also I see you have T for just few months now, so I wonder if you tried HBO?
Maybe inject lidocain nearby blood vesell that goes to ear. I am not expert in cardiovascular things, so this might be techically false, as I do not know how drugs get transported via blood. I suppose they have to go throught heart, but then i hope they don't.
Another possible mechanism is...
Aren't Pregabalin and Gabapentin supposed to be bad for tinnitus? I am not sure if T is a side effect for some of these drugs, but for Carbamazepine, which is similar drug type, it is. Also Gabapentin should be less ototoxic than Pregabalin.
Well for tinnitus this is not the reason. As I think not much money is made from selling the cure for tinnitus because there is no cure. And just a few treatment options available and most treatments are just stupid.
But maybe with stem cells, but first there would be cure for deafness and only...
Actually it seems that after something like 3 days of continius use (I usually used it a little bit not 3 days in a row with 30-40mg per day) the noise has increased. I hope this will be temporally.
Yeah, I hope they will make a cure with MSDM or something else soon.
It seems that mine get louder ... I mean more noise after 4 days of PPI. But previous time I think it was just temporally.
Only from the jaw?
Do you have tininus only when biting? I am not sure what the synptoms of TMJ are, but I do not have any pain in my jaw. Maybe a bit of stiffness in check muscles, but it could be that I am wrong.
We I didn't say I am not anxious ... sometimes I am. But that doesn't effect much of things for me.
The thing with finger in ear is just a test, I do not do this all the time .. just when I want to check out if my T got louder.
However I find your post usefull. Thanks.
It is pretty hard not...
I took it for quite some time 1-2month, I am not sure if it increased my tinitus, but for sure it now causes a stomach pain so I had to stop taking it.
Do you think this is the only bcause of your tinitus or it just moduletes it.
I read a bit about the somatosensory tinnitus. Still I didn't get if it is normal tinitus that is modulated by for example jaw movement, or it is entirelly another kind of tinitus that can be cured?
Did you manage...
I am sometimes anxious, but it had never caused me any sound not pain. Actually all the diagnosis I had that claimed that something was because of anxiety were 100% wrong. So the anxiety is likely not the cause.
It can hardly be that I didn't notice it before because it is pretty lound, but...
Is it normal for one with tinnitus that with every (hard) bite he hears more tinnitus. In my case it is a high frequency sound that doesn't sound like my ordinary tinnitus?
I think it didn't appear before.
I do have GERD, but this is due to stomach hernia, and I hope sugery would be able to fix it. I do not plan to take those medications.
However, this doesn't have anything to do with gerd, it is for helicobacteries. And i need some kind of antibiotics if I want to get rid of it.
You are correct I mixed up terms pluripotent and multipotent. I was taling about pluripotencey in the last sentence of the post.
We either need pluriopotent cells or the ones that are specialised the same way as a stromal cells with the difference that they can differentiate into hearing cells...
http://mixmag.net/read/scientists-have-completed-trials-attempting-to-cure-tinnitus-with-mdma-news
Summary: Small dose of mdma seems to temporally cure Tinitus in some patients [it lasts about 7 days per 30-60mg dose or so].
Has anyone experienced the same effect. I have never tried mdma.
Are you sure? I think they are pluripotent.
Anyways a stem cell doesn't have to be pluripotent to develop into another type of tissue (this just means they do not multiply), thought I am not sure what is needed, it is most likely just to be nearby some other type of cell you want to turn them...
I know that stem periferial blood works for cartilage repair, no need for growt factors.
Through blood, it is a bit strange, as stem cells are naturally found and extracted from blood. I think Neupogene or something like it increases the stem(progenitor) cells in blood.
And pretty much no stem...
Would like to ask a few questions if not a problem.
So did anyone had sucess with this treatment? I guess it has something to do with https://www.ata.org/news/news/new-stem-cell-transplantation-method-restores-damaged-auditory-pathways.
And if I understand correctly, the injection goes through...
When did you first notice spike after starting taking the ranitinide?
I am now afraid to take any of them (actually Rabeprazole or Ranitinide) but seems like I have too.
Hello,
I am new here. After getting a louder tinnitus after some noise I also got a kind of acid reflux. I have the choice to use Ranitidine (Zantac) or Rabeprazole. Which one of these is less ototoxic, or preferably not ototoxic at all? Is there a non-ototoxic alternative?
Thanks,
Zok
