    MuteButton

    Guys, Neuromod are currently filing a trademark for the Lenire name to be used as the new name for the MuteButton. This trademark is currently in its opposition period which ends at the beginning of May. Only then will they be able to properly launch with the new name. They're also intending...

    @threefirefour Just seen what you were referring to. I was more commenting on the response to my own post (where I was trying to be positive) that's all.

    @threefirefour Nope! Wasn't me. I'd never make fun of anyone for that. Hope you're doing well.

    Remember to clean your ears! My ear plug use lead to a build up of wax that blocked my ear up. Was worried, but it's just some wax. :)

    MuteButton

    It's no longer called MuteButton. They're going to be rebranding it later this year. Really hope I can get this through the NHS.

    The Positivity Thread

    It's fairly quiet, I only hear it in silence, or if something reminds me of it. It's at about a 2 on the scale. It will get better. It took me two months before I could wake up without it being the first thing I thought about.

    The Positivity Thread

    I got kinda emotional reading this. I'm exactly, the same. I got it over a year ago, I never had issues sleeping or needed to mask it. But it was there, it was new, and it was frightening. I obsessed over it and it stopped me from doing things. I tried so many methods including those that you...

    Hey! Apologies for the late reply... When it first started to fade, it was almost instant! I was lying in bed and it just started fading, and beeping in and out like SOS. It took maybe another day or so until I literally couldn't hear it. I'm doing so much better. I went on holiday last...

    The Back of My Thigh Is Linked to a Noise in My Ears

    The back of my right thigh in particular. When it gets itchy, my ears "rumble", in the same way my ears rumble when I tense the muscles in my facial region to make my ears rumble. This must be a nerve overlap or a nerve thing, but I thought it was peculiar. Perhaps this is something acupuncture...

    MDMA (a Component of Ecstacy) Potential for the Treatment of Tinnitus

    Honestly, no not particularly. At the time, I had just begun to reach the stage where I could walk around outside and not hear it, but inside in a quiet room I could hear a hiss. At the club with earplugs on MDMA, I could only hear the same hissing when outside in a relatively quiet area with...

    MDMA (a Component of Ecstacy) Potential for the Treatment of Tinnitus

    Didn't really make much of a difference. I was in a club as well and I kept going outside for breaks and checking my ear plugs. I did ketamine as well and Ketamine make it louder for a bit. But then it was normal the day after and you just gotta remember it will be.

    An update: I went to both haha. I know, stupid! But my ears are fine! If anything they're better right now and after both events I had no increase or difference. I wore my ear plugs to both events, took regular breaks, stood far back from speakers. Even with the bass rumbling through me...

    If You Have Tried Residual Inhibition, Did It Temporarily Eliminate Your Tinnitus?

    (Sorry if this is in the wrong section by the way) Hi So I was playing around with the tone generator (http://www.szynalski.com/tone-generator/) and I found that as I pressed play and moved the scale up and down, my tinnitus in both ears would quieten at a certain point. So I nailed it to...

    Hey man, First of all thanks for getting back to me. My ears don't feel full or experience any pain whatsoever. I have a festival planned for next week on Sunday. Do you think if I stood far enough back with ear plugs I would be ok or should I just not risk it whatsoever? Furthermore, how...

    Hi I'm Michael. Former lurker. I had tinnitus back in January in the morning after some club nights. It bothered me slightly, but I could ignore it and it went away. I continued clubbing weekly for months, had no issues. I then went to a club at the end of March, suddenly heard it on walk...
