They play a low sound that completely masks the tinnitus. Then, they turn it off, allowing you to hear your tinnitus in full detail. Over time, you get used to it, and it no longer seems like such a big deal. It’s similar to going to the beach and then getting into a car. On the beach, you hear...

It saddens me to see so many unprincipled doctors taking advantage of the desperation of tinnitus sufferers just to make money. Lenire doesn’t work, yet clinics everywhere are advertising it with claims of 80% or even 90% effectiveness. It seems no one is concerned about the lack of regulation...

I find it very interesting, but I can't translate the doctor's intervention, so I don't know exactly what he says, I just have a guess.

I still don’t understand why MRI isn’t used to determine if a person has tinnitus. Years ago, it was reported that in people with tinnitus, a specific part of the brain lit up during an MRI. Why isn’t this technique used to monitor whether someone’s tinnitus improves or not? Am I missing something?

By the way, I have had tinnitus since 1991, you are light years away from knowing what I know. You have to make an effort to be more humble and respectful. And learn to read.

A clinic in my country that uses Lenire claims a 97% success rate. Obviously, that's not accurate, but I'm still unsure whether it does work or not.

There is one thing I don't understand. Years ago, a type of MRI was developed that could reliably identify individuals with tinnitus by showing certain areas of the brain lighting up. So why not use that same MRI to demonstrate the effectiveness of a medication, especially when the person is...

I’m not sure if there are different types of tinnitus. I believe the condition is essentially the same for everyone, but what varies is the severity, duration, and how each person experiences it. For example, a person with hearing loss who doesn't use hearing aids to improve their hearing may...

I think we would all sign up to take some pills all our lives in exchange for reducing or eliminating tinnitus, even if it is only for a few hours a day. For example, you take it at bedtime, and you can sleep in silence. I agree with that.

If we consider tinnitus as a psychiatric disorder, the problem has already been solved. We can do the same with cancer and we already have another problem solved, so we can solve all diseases. There is nothing worse for tinnitus than a doctor who says it is a psychiatric problem, because it...

If that were true, years ago all tinnitus sufferers would have had a cochlear implant. No, what you say is not true at all, but if you believe it, it's not that difficult to convince an otolaryngologist to operate on you. Get a cochlear implant and tell us. When you have hearing loss and...

Mine is also more intrusive on the left, and I've heard a lot of people say the same thing. Does this have any meaning or is it just a coincidence?

Do they keep in touch with you to study your case? it is evident that something happened so that after 30 years your tinnitus disappeared.

I have always thought about the absurdity of space research, the extraordinary amount of money that is useless, but also that those space research centers have many of the smartest people in the world. If only all that money and talent were dedicated to treating neurological diseases!

I'm always on the lookout for new trials. I have *several* debilitating ailments (that, unfortunately, work in concert with one another) and I'm always completely honest with the people running the trial. I'm never going to bend the truth or flat out lie to get into something. It's not worth...

Professor Thanos Tzounopoulos has no obligation to you. I don't know who you think you are.

@Jerad, what you say I raised it here. Imagine a pill that cures deafness and also tinnitus, but is not prescribed for tinnitus but only for deafness. Imagine that no one gives you that pill because you are not deaf but “just” have tinnitus. Change the deafness to epilepsy or Alzheimer's or...

True, I think that we get lost in discussions about somatic or non-somatic and that deep down it is something irrelevant.

Tinnitus never gets better with time. It gets worse, but if you ask someone who has had it for 3 or 5 years, they will think that it has improved because they have gotten used to it. Ask them in 10, 15 or 30 years and they will tell you that it has gotten worse. I have had it for over 30...

I'm not sure you understand what I meant and also what @dbeats says, but you address me anyway. If you think that I have not understood the analogy - it must be intelligent and meaningful - you must come down from your pedestal and be much more humble. It makes no sense to compare a material...

You're right, the comparison is ridiculous, the brain is not a microphone. If it were that simple, Alzheimer's would have been cured for centuries.

Tinnitus lasting a few minutes has nothing to do with tinnitus lasting several days, weeks or months. Everyone has had tinnitus for a few seconds or minutes that goes away. Let's imagine that 100% of people who use hearing aids eliminate their tinnitus. How many of this forum use hearing aids...

False, it is not investigated for those people who have tinnitus because the hearing aid has not ended tinnitus, it is investigated because there is nothing that ends tinnitus. If hearing aids were used to end tinnitus, even only 10% of people, all doctors would prescribe hearing aids for...

Then the problem would have been solved. So much stupidity makes me sick. Why research tinnitus if hearing aids already exist that eliminate it?

“You can think of it as two ways to treat tinnitus,” Lim says. “One is you can try to find [the tinnitus cells] and shut them down. Our approach is to make everything in the auditory system much more hyperactive to everything but the tinnitus.” I prefer the 1st option. I am afraid that...

When doctors are arrogant and when they cannot respond to a disease, they invent that it is above all a psychological problem. The problem is that they do not learn, you just have to look back in history and see when real diseases were considered psychological.

Thank you very much for your answers, AfroSnowman. You are very kind.

I stopped following this thread due to Lenire's negative or inconclusive experiences, but it seems to work, so what happened?

It's a metaphor. I can tell you this in another way; cancer. A woman who has cancer and loses a breast because of it, even if she is 100% cured of cancer, her breast does not grow back. Loss of the breast is directly related to cancer. If you still don't understand this, I give up, believe what...

If that were the case, all the people with hearing aids and tinnitus would have been cured of tinnitus. Just because hearing loss causes tinnitus does not mean that curing hearing cures tinnitus. I don't know how to explain it, but for example if you are deaf and that is why you are hit by a car...

This is the answer I was looking for a long time ago, I did not quite understand it (English is not my native language).

Justin, I think the important thing for everyone is to eliminate tinnitus, it doesn't matter if you hear perfectly if you have tinnitus and it doesn't matter if you don't hear well if you don't have tinnitus; that's what hearing aids are for.

About a week ago I had my 2nd injection of Pfizer and everything has been fine, no effect on my tinnitus.

I got vaccinated 2 weeks ago with Pfizer. I have not noticed any effects on tinnitus, therefore great news.

If a drug works 100% for acute tinnitus (having lasted less than 6 months), but when testing the drug, the duration of tinnitus is not taken into account, allowing all kinds of people enter, with the vast majority having tinnitus for longer than 10 years, the result will be confusing. They may...

I think I have expressed myself wrong. That 14% includes people with tinnitus and those with no previous tinnitus. For example, of that 14%, 5% acquire tinnitus and the remaining 9% already had it, that 9% may be 100% of those who had tinnitus, that is, 100% of those who had tinnitus worsened...

Absolutely. I sense that it is more a problem of antibiotics and various and strong medications, than the effect of the coronavirus. As there is total apathy among doctors regarding tinnitus, ototoxic treatments are given without telling the patient. In my country a famous person lost her...

14% can mean 100% of people with tinnitus. Is it known how much (in percentage) their tinnitus worsened after the vaccine if they already had obvious tinnitus beforehand?

The problem is that tinnitus is always secondary. That is, you (pharmaceutical companies, doctors etc.) can use something for memory for decades without realizing that it can be used for tinnitus, simply because tinnitus does not matter to anyone. Most tinnitus medications are not for tinnitus...

I don't understand, Huperzine A is something that has been known and used in China for centuries. Don't you think that if it worked for tinnitus, it would have been used for many years by now?

I still don't understand some things. Some patients improved but it is not known why they improved, or it is not known if they really improved?

Thank you very much Lucifer.

I still don't know if FX-322 works or not. When will it be known definitively if it works or not, and that's under the assumption that it works for tinnitus? Phase 2b hasn't shown anything definitive yet?

I do not understand you. If you have tinnitus, you know for sure.

You're in my head, I was thinking just that. Does everyone with sudden hearing loss have tinnitus? You already know that you can have hearing loss and not have tinnitus, that suggests that it is something more complicated.

Great news. I have always thought about children who receive Cisplatin and become deaf along with tinnitus. Probably the worst thing that can happen to a child.

It has been mentioned in this forum several times that some people showed improvement of their tinnitus (people who were in the hearing loss trial, but also had tinnitus, the fact that some of them improved is what has made Frequency Therapeutics - if I recall correctly - take tinnitus into...

How do you know that? I understand that there are many assumptions, virus-induced is just one of them.

I also have my doubts. If effective for tinnitus, all the people who had benefits from FX-322 or OTO-413 should have clearly shown the reduction or elimination of their tinnitus, but it didn't occur (only in some cases it seems that the tinnitus has decreased, but not all or the majority).

Will FX-322 work for those who got tinnitus from benzodiazepine use?

con acúfenos desde 1991

Many people have tinnitus and do not perceive hearing loss, others - like me now, but not before for years - yes, but hearing aids have no effect on the tinnitus. I would be surprised if FX-322 worked for tinnitus, but I wish it did.

DaveN, There are silent MRIs, from Hitachi, Canon, Toshiba and GE. Postscript: I use a translator and it didn't come out exactly how I wanted to say it.

DaveN, Do you know if it is a silent MRI?

That is what scares me the most and what I always think with each new treatment. The definitive cure for acute tinnitus will be a life sentence for those of us who have chronic tinnitus.

Chinmoku, That's what I think. Add stress, fear, and anxiety after seeing the first effects. I had an experience a few months ago because of something on the eardrum without importance but I noticed that the tinnitus was rising and I was losing my hearing. In the end it was silly but the fear...

Justin you have infinite patience ;)

You do a good job Frederic.

I have high hopes for this man.

Tinnitus occurs due to the hyperactivity of neurons, right? Now the question is: does only damage to hair cells produce hyperactivity in neurons?
