    Clonazepam (Klonopin, Rivotril)

    Do you take Clonazepam regularly? Does it actually help with tinnitus? I’ve considered it as well, although doctors in our country are very reluctant to prescribe it.

    My History with Tinnitus & Meniere's Disease: I'm Scheduled for a Single-Sided Cochlear Implant

    If you truly believe that the loudness of tinnitus correlates with the degree of hearing loss, then I’m horrified by the intensity of ringing you must experience.

    Prof. Thanos Tzounopoulos Receives $2 Million Grant

    I’ll explain why I don’t believe in the likelihood of a real drug (pill) being released to treat tinnitus. The main reason is that it’s a business: to recoup development costs and turn a profit, they would need high and frequent sales. However, if such a pill truly existed and could reduce or...

    New University of Michigan Tinnitus Discovery — Signal Timing

    As far as I understand, the working mechanisms of Lenire for tinnitus and Dr. Shore’s device are almost the same. So why is Lenire considered ineffective? From what I know, clinical trials showed it had even higher effectiveness than Dr. Shore’s device (around 80%). However, we still don’t have...

    Neuroplasticity Works Wonders: Tinnitus Has Become Insignificant for Me

    Hi, I have moderate hearing loss (although I never checked above 8 kHz). Along with this hearing loss, I developed terrible tinnitus in both ears, which tormented me and led to suicidal thoughts. I suffered for 1.5 years and was in absolute despair of ever getting rid of it. All the research...

    Dude, I didn't understand how it happened. I just had other health problems and I didn't think (or hardly thought) about tinnitus for a few days. When I decided to listen to it again, I realized that I can only hear it if I specifically concentrate on it. How it works, I don't know. My brain...

    Chronic Prostatitis: How to Treat It When You Have Tinnitus?

    SOS! Problems with Glucose Levels After Taking Prednisone. Anyone Else?

    Greetings I took prednisone for a tinnitus spike for 5 days. Dose regimen was 40-40-40-20-15 mg. On the fifth day, I had symptoms of hyperglycemia (high blood sugar). This is a serious side effect of corticoids (especially with long-term use in high doses). I started with dry mouth, polyuria...

    @AZeurotuner Sorry for my English, I do not know how to say it more precisely. I mean a loud knock from steel water pipes. They knocked very loudly when I washed in the bath. Almost like a machine gun. Now I am in deep decline and soldering, I did not expect such a trap of fate.

    Steroids: Prednisone / Dexamethasone / Others (Oral and Intratympanic Injections)

    Do you think a dose of prednisone 40 mg per day for three days is sufficient? Is it dangerous to immediately cut off such a dose? Suddenly the cochlear inflammation will flare up with a new baseline after such a short course and a quick withdrawal? What do you think? Need a longer course?

    Loud Metal Knocking in the Bath. It Was Horrible! Need Your Advice

    Tinnitus is louder and it's very scary. More than anything, I'm afraid of hyperacusis. This is a huge psychological blow. Fullness of the ears, it seems, I don't have. But there is a strange click in the ear when swallowing food. Home audiogram shows the same values. In the morning I took...
