Does anyone know if these people are just researchers or are they doctors as well who see patients? I really think their research sounds promising and I would be keen to know if they think there are any therapeutics or medicines available at the moment which might help us. I think Clonazepam was...

Hi Eleanor89, Hope your doing alright :) I’ve read a few of your posts and I’m interested in the white noise generators and the counselling. Did the NHS give them to you for free? Can I also ask who is doing your private counselling? Is it specifically for tinnitus? I might look into that as...

Have we got any idea when Lenire might be coming to London? I seem to remember a previous post somewhere from a while ago suggesting Neuromod might be linking up with The Tinnitus Clinic to provide Lenire? If so, let's hope they stick to the same price structure they have for Ireland! The...

Did he also address why the old MuteButton didn’t work and why this one was different?

Do we know what their definition of ‘clinically meaningful reduction’ is? It’s one of their primary end points and I suspect there might be a standard definition used across tinnitus research (e.g. a certain percentage reduction on THI). Would just be useful to clarify.

How much Cipro did you take? Any other side effects to it? I’ve had quite a bad reaction to it but sounds like you’ve been fine :) Definitely good the sound is changing as that suggests healing. You’re on the right path!

@Lane Thanks for the article. To be honest, I'm not gonna read any more scary articles and posts about Cipro. Its why I didn't want to mention the name of the medicine on here because it instantly means people write scary things about it and post articles with negative outcomes. There is...

Thanks @Bill Bauer ! Those are great post and really encouraging! Just what I need! I think everyone needs hope in these early days. It would be so good to hear silence again! Thanks again for taking the time to post. Have you noticed any improvement in your tinnitus with time?

Thanks @Tommi_boi . You've been a super big help to me in keeping me optimistic! So I might as well say what the drug or drugs were - Ciprofloxacin (antibiotic) and Finasteride (hair loss drug, blocks DHT which is a form of testosterone). I'm almost certain it was the Cipro which has done this...

Thanks for the advice @Lane . If I'm not making any improvement as time goes by, I'll consider some more alternative approaches. Although I'm pretty sure my tinnitus is medicine related so not sure how relevant it would be really

Thanks @PortalNaut! I really like that quote! I only wish I was a bit better at putting it into action! As I said earlier in this blog, still very much in the denial stage. Hoping a time goes by I'll get better at facing all this really. Lets see.

Hi Tommi, Thanks for the message and checking up on me :) So I’m probably about 2.5 months into my tinnitus journey. Thought I might have been making a bit of improvement recently but to be honest today it just feels as bad as a few weeks ago. Still really hoping I have the potential for some...

How’s your tinnitus now? Any more improvements?

Great you’re getting some relief Lane! Pleased to hear it :)

Hi Tommi_boi, thanks for your message and encouragement! Great you’ve had improvement in your tinnitus. Really hoping I get lots of improvement too over the coming months. How long did it take for you to show some improvements in your tinnitus?

Hi VictorDedalus, I do agree that anxiety or an existentialist view of life probably does give a certain predisposition to tinnitus. But I do think there is hope. My little bro had bad tinnitus which seemed to start after panic attacks. His completely resolved when he was able to get control...

Well done! Happy for you :) Hope you might get some further improvements too! But sounds like you have managed to get over most of the tinnitus which is amazing.

Did the sound actually improve and get quieter at all? Sounds like it did and you have habituated too?

Thanks for the welcome Billie48! And it’s encouraging to know that the early days of tinnitus can be unstable because that isn’t how mine feels! I would feel a bit better if it was at least stable to give me the chance to get used to it. Of course, still hoping for improvement generally. I think...

Hi Contrast, No balance issues luckily. Still some ear pain which is upsetting. I think worst part is I don’t know how much damage has been done to the ear since we can’t see it, just the pain. But pain is not a good symptom. I don’t think it’s hyperacusis as I seem to be alright around most...

Thanks Striveon, your encouragement means a lot :) Let’s hope we can both get better together!

Thanks for the reply Lane. Noticed any improvements with the oxygen therapy? Has your tinnitus got any better over the past 9 months?

Hi everyone, Hope you have all had a good weekend. I am just sitting a pub while I write this to help mask my tinnitus (don't worry noise is relatively low and I don't think my tinnitus is noise induced). The irony being that I have always been very protective of my ears and super worried...
