So why is it that when the auditory nerve is cut, the ringing doesn't stop?

May I ask which one? I’ve had my own suspicions about this as well.

Can we just get rid of the FDA and red tape for this one project, please?!

Definitely some ting to watch.

I doubt that it works. The ingredients are Magnesium, Valerian root, Passionflower, Ashwagandha, Taurine, Ginkgo biloba, and GABA. While I haven’t tried the product itself, I’ve tried all these ingredients with no relief.

In the depths of hell.

Thank you for this. I should have done my due diligence and done more research, but I was honestly worried that people who are more prone to T are also more prone to dementia. Thanks for clarifying!

Haven’t tinnitus and hearing loss been linked to a higher chance of developing dementia?

UPDATE: Finished the second 30-day treatment and unfortunately I don’t notice a difference

[Update] After finishing a 30 day supply, I didn’t notice much of a difference. Maybe some fluctuation, but that’s probably just a coincidence. I read that some people took it for 2-3 months, so I ordered another day supply a while back and just received it, so I will take it for another month...

I ordered a box from the link in this thread. It arrived this morning and I took my first dose today. I’ll take one tablet a day for the next 30 days and report back

I don’t really trust any product that has a part of the word “tinnitus” in it (it screams scam). But I haven’t researched this one.

You don’t just cope with it. Not having sympathy and acting like suddenly losing hearing and developing T isn’t a big deal just because the audiogram wasn’t that severe

No, but if I ever missed a dose from my SSRI, I would have very vidid dreams every time. So I definitely think there’s something to it.

Just FYI, today I saw a sponsored ad for this while scrolling through my Facebook feed. It’s called Tinnitus Battle, but the link goes to a site for Tinnitus 911. I reported the ad, left a comment that this is a scam as well as left a link to these forums for people struggling with tinnitus...

The sound changes A LOT throughout the file, so there’s not really an adequate sample that would do it justice.

For what it’s worth, I have high cortisol levels and it has affected my sleep and muscle tone for years

I’ve taken this capsule form that I ordered on Amazon. It seemed to help with focus, but that was about it, so I stopped taking it. Maybe a different brand or powder form is better. I also have Celiac, so idk if I absorb supplements as well. Hoping it works for you guys!

Liken... lichen. I see what you did there ;) Interesting! I hadn’t heard about these before.

I don’t know if you guys have seen this creature called “The Blob” on display at the Paris zoo. It is a real enigma — no brain, but has the ability to learn, and can heal itself in about two minutes if cut. I wonder if this organism can be studied and used to regenerate areas of the human...

That’s an awesome idea! I think talking about how there’s so much more to hearing issues than people think (they think we just hear quieter and need more volume, when in reality, there’s distortion, reverberation, hyperacusis, etc). Also people think hearing aids just fix everything, but...

Red tape. Too many rules and regulations that hinder progress.

Don’t stress, my personal guess is that it will probably go away. Try taking magnesium if you can. Best wishes.

Maybe you slept on your neck wrong? If I do that or clean her my jaw during sleep, my T is way louder when I wake up in the morning. But it always goes back to baseline at some point

I’m sorry that you’re dealing with that. I think it’s hard to determine because it could be a bunch of different things. Muscle related, ear related, brain related, etc. I mean Meniere’s is a possibility, but it do you get vertigo? It could be anxiety causing muscle or brain problems. I...

Thanks for your response, John. I just realized that my question wasn’t clear and was confusing. I apologize for that. I was trying to ask if any people WITH hearing issues and T hearing their voice as normal/loud, while other people with “normal hearing” tell THEM that they can’t hear them...

For those with tinnitus and hearing issues, have you ever had people tell you that you talk too quietly? I’ve noticed people have regularly struggled to hear me or tell me to speak up when my voice seems normal or maybe even loud to me. I never noticed this before having tinnitus and hearing...

Looks like a bunch of the other scams sites. A long continuous scrolling website (or a video where you can’t fast forward) — with tons of redundant sentences, taking way too long to get to the point.

The bad part is people see things like this and think it works, so then they tell us who have tinnitus, “I saw they have something that fixes it!” Even worse, they may think it’s ok if they aren’t careful and get tinnitus because they can just take this later and be cured.

This is the brand I used https://nootropicsdepot.com/7-8-dihydroxyflavone-powder-dhf/?gclid=EAIaIQobChMIyrj3qOzH4wIVCB-tBh0xFQ0rEAQYASABEgIHJ_D_BwE

Is while back I bought 1 gram of this stuff. I take it every once in a while sublingually because it helps me focus and be productive. I just use a small amount, but never thought about it being used for for Tinnitus. I may have to order more and pay attention to what it does with that at a...

This screams scam to me. Also the ingredients all look like things people have tried here and not had much result.

I don’t see why it couldn’t be. It’s well known that things like aspirin are ototoxic (as well as damaging to the liver). Many people report temporary ringing in the ears when taking normal doses or too much acetaminophen/ibuprofen

I couldn’t get the patches to stick for long either. Wondering if using lidocaine cream would work just as well. It’s also 4%

Did you experience and problems with odor? I’ve heard stories of people using DMSO consistently and then smelling like garlic/rotten vegetables

I know some people have acid reflux and it exacerbates their tinnitus. Way before I had my initial bout of tinnitus, I got a really bad inclination in the lining of my lungs & esophagus, which was causing chest pains. I haven’t really dealt with that since, but lately I’ve been having that...

I’ve never seen the word gullet used so much!

Today I was talking to a friend on the phone, with my cell phone up to my right ear. I happened to notice that every time she spoke, my left ear would make a squeaking sound almost as if the muscles were tensing up. It went to the exact rhythm of her speaking. Anyone experience anything...

I don't want to freak you out, so take this with a grain fo salt. I had T before I ever started Effexor, but when I would miss a dose, I would get brain zaps and could hear a phantom sound when I moved my eyes. When I was tapering off of Effexor (with my doctor's help), I had brain zaps for a...

I had T from 2004 until 2013, it was only noticeable in really quiet areas and no noticeable hearing loss. In 2013 it changed into a constant loud white noise with trouble hearing. If I could get anything close to where it was before, I'd be ecstatic!

But platypuses are mammals that do things most mammals can’t, which is what we are trying to do by regenerating inner ear hair cells. Also they can shoot posion out of their feet, which is pretty cool

Nah, the screaming would hurt my ears with the new hearing aids :woot:

I love these forums and all of you guys. How we can just be real and understand the frustrations we all have. I’ve often thought some of these same things expressed here. I watch documentaries where there were huge advancements in medicine because they were trying things and not having to go...

Maybe when there’s a medicine that works. I’m not sure though really

Looking at the image, I thought it said 2008, which would make more sense. But I see it's from 2018. Sigh

I had someone tell me today that their doctor recommended a low dose of Valium for recurrent vertigo and it went away permanently. Not sure what the mechanism might be.

Looking at it today, the eardrums have dilated blood vessels on the outside, so I'm thinking it's a middle ear infection in both ears but the fluid is just dark. Weird that it happened right after I used ear drops. Guess I'll have to make an appointment

I know with me sometimes it seems like my T is only in one ear, other days it’s the other, some days it’s both, some days I can’t tell where it’s coming from. I hope you find answers soon!

Thanks for bringing this to my attention, it’s much appreciated! To me it looks like me eardrums are black on the inside, which doesn’t make sense. If it doesn’t look normal in a couple of days, i’ll go seem an ENT (haven’t had luck with them before though). Thanks again for the tag

I saw an ad for a USB camera that you can look into your ears with. I was curious, so I ordered it and looked in my ear canal. The eardrums looks fine, but there was some wax build up, so I used over the counter drops to help clean it. Yesterday I looked with the camera and there was much...

Was the advice I got here better than "I don't know, I think the infection made your hearing worse. Based on your audiogram, you should expect some ringing. Use a fan or something to mask the sound"? I'm gonna go with YES!

Was this study about the 80% done in China though?

In my opinion no one knows, so take everyone's theories (including mine) with a grain of salt. I think it's a lot of things. Diet (caffeine, allergens, etc), stress, tension (neck, TMJ), exposure to sounds/frequencies during the day, the fact that it's now quiet at night and your brain turns...

Interesting, but wouldn’t call this restoring hearing. More of a hearing aid, which is great during the time being until there is a real cure

Exactly! Different methods of action

That sucks for those of use who have higher frequency loss, especially when the ENT's say hearing aids won't help. But maybe they are looking to do something specific and if it is successful, they will branch out to other types of hearing loss

Personally I think it's also interesting because Zebrafish can regenerate their hearing when it is damaged, so it's great that they are finding new discoveries about them and then finding how it applies to the human ear

Good to know. Thanks for the info!

This is just my take, but it sounds like it's an eBook that tells you "how to get rid of tinnitus in 21 days." Keep in mind that people sell eBooks for everything from curing hair loss and cancer, to methods on how to get rich. My guess is that this a collection of methods to try. Mainly...

Thank you for this! I've read about aldosterone in the past for hearing loss, but was never able to find a source of it.
