    Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy

    @Matt01 @Mo_Mo Keep in mind the people (they were nurses in my case) take these dives a few times a week for years. it is indeed very important to equalize the pressure in your ears. I am talking about constant non-stop equalizing while "descending" (not really descending but elevating the...

    Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy

    @Paul201 I had a constant powerline+cricket before the improvement I got while getting HBOT (either because of it or not), it was much louder than today but it was also the beginning of T so it varied a lot. I now have the same but at lower loudness. My "T Doctor" is very advanced and he...

    Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy

    @Paul201 it could be totally gone for one day. even if I'll plug my ears. and the next day could be loud. sometimes I have a few days of noise. waking up in the morning like my head is in a microwave. but sometimes it's very quite and I could find a few hours of complete silence as I said. it...

    Clonazepam (Klonopin, Rivotril)

    Just wanted to share my experience with Clonazepam. I'd like to mention something I think is a valuable piece of information: Clonazepam is also a Muscle relaxant. I got Clonazepam since I had "spasm" or "cramps" in the part that feels like the ear canal. my doctor (who goes the furthest of...

    UltraQuiet Therapy

    @Steve, Right.. I was too tired to even think about it.. :) so it's not the best treatment for high frequency T like mine?

    UltraQuiet Therapy

    @earflappin, Thanks.. I did use the analyze/plot spectrum and is showed that all sound in the range between 11260Hz and 19100Hz has been removed. , my T is at 13760Hz and I can't hear anything above 15KHz even with my good ear so it's like I listen to white noise of 1Hz-11260Hz, everything above...

    @earflappin, Thanks for that info! I am trying it out right now. for some reason I didn't have that band stop filter installed as a default, even though I downloaded and re-installed audacity. if anyone else needs it, I found it here, you'll need to put it in you c:\program...

    @Steve, I'll be happy to help with ideas, UI design, developing, brainstorming.. just let me know.. Thanks for trying the matching with your headphones, I'll wait for your response. I think that it worked better than regular headphones for me. your music plan sounds interesting.. where can I...

    @nogood, yes.. that's why I said meds like aspirin won't be the solution.. fish oil is good as it has Omega 3, olive oil is good too.. wish you luck..

    @Frederick86, Thanks for the information! I will definitely look into those options. @Mark McDill , sorry friend, couldn't get a hold of the music file itself, if you wish, send it to me. (the song idea is indeed horrible ;)) the electric guitar is running in your range sometimes. and drum...

    Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy

    @nogood , Getting the oxygen while under the pressure is what makes HBOT effective compared to getting oxygen not under pressure and there are a lot of changes in the body while you are getting the treatment. one of them is shrinkage of the blood vessels. whatever is wrong with the body, you...

    Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy

    @Salt, no prob, whatever audio treatment you do, headphones are always better, I wouldn't even consider using speakers, and for headphones you better off with a quality large closed back (that blocks external sound), mine are Audio-Technica ATH-M50s with a straight cable (opposed to coiled) as...

    UltraQuiet Therapy

    @Mark McDill, if you'll tell me what's the name of the song I'll try to analyze it for you, maybe there is something going on over there at particular frequencies that helps you and you could try to replicate it in another way..

    @Frederick86, interesting, thanks for the information, I will look into those options. How does Neuromodulation stand compared to these options in your opinion?

    UltraQuiet Therapy

    Hi Friends.. It's crazy, I just made that diy transducer without knowing of this thread or any research about bone conduction for dealing with T, I was just thinking to myself a few days ago that since I was a kid we used to bite the tip of the classical guitar, seal our ears and play something...

    Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy

    @Memo, sorry, but I also don't think HBOT will help you. read my last post of what I wrote about that lady I was with at my HBOT, she had some kind of brain issue and it did help her a year after onset but only after 50 sessions! when I don't think she saw the improvement coming anymore. but if...

    Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy

    I think that Neuromodulation really helps with the "cricket" sounds the most. and less for the steady tone, but it's only what I've experienced so far. I hope that I'll find the way to better impact the steady tone as well. set the NM treatment to your fixed tone and you might even get your...

    Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy

    @Salt & @nogood & Everybody.. Hey.. no problem, this post took me a while to complete.. so first about HBOT, I started the treatment a month after onset. (@Salt 6 weeks after is not bad at all the recomendations is up to 3 months) after 10 sessions I got about 70% (not 30% as you mentioned) of...

    Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy

    I friends.. sorry I didn't get to see your posts earlier. I think that if you have any improvements you should try to go for 30 sessions to max it out. or at least 20, this are the best amounts imho. about the pressure, I only know that 2 atmospheres is how I got my treatments and that it is...

    Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy

    I did 39 sessions, I had some very quite days and now it is a little louder. I've noticed that many times after a session, the T changes and not always to the better. and the change stays. I am sure about this since every time I got to a new state after the last session of the week, this state...

    Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy

    I am after the 24th session. T is a little louder now than the most quite few days I had but I still hope that HBOT will do the job, 16 sessions to go so it's not a few..

    Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy

    I think you should see an ENT doctor and find out if you have ISSNHL first and ASAP.. if you do, you'll need steroids first. and they are better for treating the problem in the first place. then HBOT if you still not cured.. in my country you need some doctor to direct you then a chest x-ray to...

    Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy

    I dont think steroids will help in this point in time and they sure aren't giving them in that point. (only up to a month or maybe a little more) if what you have is ISSNHL. start HBOT immediately as it's your only shot. do 20 sessions and if you have any improvment go for 40. this is by the...

    Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy

    @JohnG, I know what you mean but I know there is a benefit of taking steroids in the entire first month from my personal experience and from the doctors who treated me and from what I know they are following the American guidelines. I think that not giving steroids after the first 7 days is a...

    Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy

    Today I finished my 20th session. I had an improvement after the 10th and nothing more since. I went to see a doctor which I made an appointment to right after onset (2 months ago), he is the most known doctor for treating T in my country and maybe even the best. he told me that even thoughI...

    Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy

    Hi Kimbo Slice, this topic is about HBOT so I always try to make sure anything I write is somehow related. now we deviate to the SHL Topic which might need a topic of it's own.. but I'll answer your question.. Yes, the steroids were prescribed to my by a doctor. about 9 days after onset for the...

    Tinnitus Without Hearing Loss. How Is This Possible?

    There could be many possible reasons.. some of them are: 1. Hearing Loss, most likely issues in the cochlea. 2. Hearing nerve issues. 3. Issues in the auditory cortex in the brain.
  35. RoyZ

    Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy

    @Mitbaster, my SHL was of no known cause and only in the left ear. I took 2 courses of steroids which before each one I had some hearing loss and after each one my hearing was almost normal. the worst I had was 50db loss in one frequency. and about 30-50db loss in 3 consecutive frequencies...

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

    about IT of steroids for T alone.. From what you are telling it seems you do have SHL.. I can tell you from my case of Sudden hearing loss that I've had 2 courses of steroids (by mouth) that before each course there was some loss in hearing and after a course there was an improvement, I was a...
  37. RoyZ

    Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy

    Sorry but I do not agree with you at all. one of the causes for Tinnitus for example is sudden hearing loss and HBOT is an option for treating sudden hearing loss that is stated in the guidelines. (Statement 9) it may be beneficial if done in the first 3 months from onset. if you treat the...

    Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy

    13th session today.. T was better earlier today before the session and after it it was even better but now when it's late at night it's louder.. still nothing compared to last week's hell.:) But I do have this one super high sound which feels like my brain is being constantly zapped by a...

    Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy

    Thanks a lot Tom, if there is another place you could take more sessions I would do that if I was you. but something is probably better than nothing. at the beginning it was very loud for me too after the sessions, the crew said it's very common to see regression before improvement (in many...

    Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy

    I had my 11th session today. I think I was better before it and it lasted for 3 days.. but now after this session it's like a turbulence. now T is still very low but louder and a little crazier than before that last session. I'll keep having the HBOT and hopefully this will die too.

    Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy

    Thanks locoyeti, yes, I have my T for 2 months and it is the first time I have a significant reduction that lasted more than an hour or so, I have a very low T for about 48 hours now.

    Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy

    the second day off from the last session and T is still very very low and I am very very happy! :) it's still there but in a way I could live with it but still wouldn't want to so I would go on for another 10 sessions to hopefully eliminate it totally.. tomorrow a new 5 days round begins. I just...

    Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy

    I had my 10th session yesterday, today and tomorrow I'm off. don't know if it's because of the treatment but today T is very very low. hope it will stay like that or get even better.

    Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy

    I had my 9th session a few hours ago, T is going a little crazy. I was already much better at times but they say it takes time.. we'll see. about the sound I mentioned earlier, I was a little concerned that it will counter react the treatment (but on the other side I think it might/should help)...

    Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy

    It's pretty nice for a chamber yes, for the price we pay (100$ a session of almost 2 hours) it should be ;) patients in my chamber read books.. so they are not getting bored. maybe you could read too? here there is even the option to listen to music by plugging earphones to a jack up there in...

    and here are some of mine.. quite different.. :) I know it's German made. its name is HAUX HBO, it's a double chamber (the other side is smaller) and there is even a passage between them and the outside too. Today was my 7th session. T was pretty bad yesterday after the treatment, today...

    Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy

    On my upper post I meant kids are "treated" off course. Today was my 6 session. T has been loud as in the beginning (almost 2 months ago) Super loud-crazy-electricity sounds in my head and some stress. The doctors at the place (with no profits intention) that it's too early and that for people...

    Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy

    tom68, there is a reccomendation to have as many following days as possible. 5 is better than 3 imo. The deepest depth is what you want, 10 meters (33 feet). it's a matter of atmospheric pressure, which in 10 meters depth is equal to 2 atmospheres rather than 1 atmosphere on the outside. kids...

    Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy

    Today was the first day (of two days) of a break (weekend here), and the T is bad. I had 5 sessions this week (and in total as well) at the same time of the day and I can tell you that at that same time and at the same time after the treatment today was worst than all week days. I hope it will...

    My T is also going a little wild these days, The chief nurse said it's common on the first few days of treatment and it's like it's responding to the treatment. a professor which is a diving and an ENT specialist said I should try at least 4 sessions to see how is it going.. I'll see how it is...

    Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy

    Nice to hear :) and that's interesting, on one hand we also need to take into account that there could be a natural recovery in the first few months of hearing loss and tinnitus. on the second hand there are many cases that HBOT was known to help just as you've mentioned. and you can never know...

    I went through another course of steroids which helped but then my hearing till 8000KHz deteriorated a little.

    Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy

    Another thing I would like to add as a thought of a very interesting possible situation Ive mentioned earlier. as the professor I've been to said, it is likely that people get ISSNHL (idiopathic sudden sensorineural hearing loss, also known as Sudden deafness or SHL- Sudden hearing loss) but it...

    Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy

    Update: I've met the professor. I took another hearing test on my own opinion. in the last 3 days i felt my hearing in the left ear was dulled. so I wanted to have the most updated data before I meet him. so it turns out I have a small deterioration. and it's just chance that I wanted to get...

    10 Years ago especially, the amount of 42,000$ is way out of proportion. treatment today from what I read usually go for about 100-200$ a time and you need at least 20 so that should've ended up in about 2000-4000$. that said, There are many ENT specialists who know nothing about how...
