I love your attitude mate, I'm 6 months down the road and still struggling a bit with moderate tinnitus.

So OTO-313 reduces THI by only 10 points? What the heck! My THI goes down by more than 10 points after I go for a run and a good night sleep!!!! Not to mention that Lenire reduces THI more, from what I can vaguely remember.

Chill out :)

@Lucifer @gorzakus @Watasha Hi there. Neuromod came back to me after emailing them about braces and dental retainers (I was actually impressed that they replied!). Their reply was: "The Instructions for Use described in the User Manual for Lenire® states: “Contact between the tonguetip® and...

@Oceanick Have a look at this: https://www.tinnitustalk.com/threads/tinnitus-pitch-and-loudness-matching.242/ May I ask you what antibiotic started your tinnitus? Mine was gentamicin.

This bloody fleeting tinnitus drives me mad. I started having it just before I got tinnitus permanently. In the early days I tried to track what drives fleeting tinnitus but I can't seem to follow a pattern. Chocolate and sweet drinks ramp it up for me, not a spike but a fleeting tinnitus. I...

@gorzakus, fair point but wouldn’t an electrical pulse find the path of least resistance? I can’t imagine what will happen to the electrical signal with braces in my mouth!

@Lucifer: can you please let me know what they reply?

@acute, I used to be afraid of flying as well. I flew a couple of times after I got tinnitus and it didn’t affect my tinnitus. I do wear noise cancelling headphones but I don’t think it matters much.

This might be a silly question, but do you guys think that wearing braces could affect the effectiveness of this device? Wouldn’t the metal in the mouth affect the electrical signal? This came across my mind after I read they specifically ask about tongue piercings.

From where did you get that?

But you know what, how come all these rock stars who most of them are loaded never donate big lumps of money for a cure?

Hi there, @Elliott.S: I have 12 kHz tinnitus and this clip helps me out a lot. I hope you find it useful mate. Clint

Hi there, may i please ask you how manual cleaning is carried out. I know there is microsuction and irrigation, but what is manual cleaning?

https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/8484488 I thought that all antibiotics ending in -cin are aminoglycosides, which are ototoxic. The above article seems to say otherwise.

@Amv: what route did you end up taking, I'm in need of some dental work and not sure what to do?

They are good quality noise cancelling headphones, and quality costs money. I tried other noise cancelling headphones but the Bose ones are by far superior.

I use the Bose Quiet Comfort, I think it's worth investing in them.

What is the scope of setting a timeline when tomorrow I can get hit by a car crossing the road? I guess we have to manage and try to live day by day. Easier said than done.

@AVIYT: I'm glad that you got rid of the suits, a hoodie is always more comfortable :)

@SugarMagnolia: May I kindly ask what dental procedure you had done?

I was concerned about flying when I got tinnitus, don't worry about it mate. I do wear noise cancelling headphones though. Enjoy Vegas.

I have always wondered how relevant are such studies with only 58 patients. I believe Neuromod tested over 500 patients and 'we' are saying that the sample size is small.

I thought that everyone is on the same boat here, yet somehow we end up throwing insults at each other. No wonder war exists in this world.

Hi there, did you get dental impalts, how was it, any spikes?

@Luman, hi there, did you say you had a dental bridge done while you had tinnitus? I also am planning to have one and I'm a bit edgy about it. How did you find the drilling of the adjacent teeth? Did you use ear muffs?

Hi there @Christophe_85, did your tinnitus get back to baseline after dental work? I have a lot of dental work coming up and I'm a bit edgy, to say the least.

My tinnitus started last October, I had hyperacusis as well but that has mostly calmed down, I don't have much pain but my ears flutter to the sound of cutlery (for example) and I have transient tinnitus, a louder tinnitus that lasts for a couple of seconds at a time.

You reminded me of my early days with tinnitus. I couldn't think that i would survive, I am also lucky to have mild symptoms so I guess it is not that easy for everyone.

I personally think that we should think twice before posting anything related to suicide and tinnitus. Unfortunately I think when tinnitus hits us the scary thought of suicide passes through our minds. I wasn't an exception. What do you think will go through a person's mind who just got...

Recently getting very worried about my transient tinnitus and was wondering if anyone around here has a similar experience. First of all my tinnitus started October 18 and before that I had a couple of instances of transient tinnitus (it all started after gentamicin!). My tinnitus started in...

Wohoooo OTO-413 should fix me then :)

Yeah, it's nice but sometimes I'm just like sitting in a chair a bit down waiting for it to come back. And yeah sometimes I kind of 'worry' that this will interfere with me habituating.

Yeah tinnitus is a strange thing. From my experience I sometimes am tinnitus free for like a day or two full days and then it starts again. If only someone could understand what's happening in my brain.

Is OTO-413 and FX-322 trying to do the same thing?

@enthusiast: Hi there bud, everyone struggles in their early days. Mine were terrible, I barely slept for a whole week. You need to try and stay calm (I was hitting myself with a belt when it started!!) What worked out for me is trying to create a 'spa' environment at home. Nothing fancy...

@Manex Thanks for your reply, sorry for your spike. I'm planning some dental work as well, and am a bit paranoid, may I ask you what kind of dental work did you do?

Found this paper regarding ginkgo and tinnitus. https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3157487/#b9-ndt-7-441 Any feedback from anyone on ginkgo?

So @ringinghours do you think that Neuromod will never release this? What leads you to think so?

Hi All, I have been suffering from tinnitus for the last 6 months, I have my good days and bad days but I'm still feeling very anxious and depressed about the whole thing. I read a couple of articles about CBT and its effectiveness. My question is does a CBT therapist need to be...

@reeseth: sorry I'm a newbie here, what's CI?

Lol thanks @Jack Straw: that made me laugh, but yeah I wonder when they will announce something!

Hi there, I did read a good number of threads here around dental work as I need dental work as well and I'm a bit paranoid about the whole thing. I need 4 extractions and denture or bridge. From what I have read here wearing ear plugs isn't a really good idea due to the occlusion effect...

@Niklas: Hi there, may I ask you if you got implants or a bridge. I have the same decision to make and I'm so paranoid about the effect of the drilling that I'm considering dentures. Did you get a bridge or an implant?

@TheDanishGirl; but that is just for the trial. @ageoflove also said that TV static buzzer are doomed, but that is incorrect. Ross O'Neill said in the Q&A that the treatment works irrespective of tonality/atonality. So cheer up, there's hope :)

@TheDanishGirl who said 8-16 kHz is out?

@7Thunder’s: why not wait for Neuromod's Lenire?

Looking forward to what you have to report :)

So in a nutshell are they revisiting AM-101?

Running is one of the few activities that makes my tinnitus fade into nothing. Try to have a hot bath after running and try to relax.

@Gay De Asis. Worrying will get you nowhere, trust me, I have been dealing with health issues for the last 18 months. You need to be patient, both with you tinnitus and with the whole process of going for tests, waiting for results etc. I know, easier said than done but you must try to be...

I used to keep track daily of how loud my tinnitus is, scale it from 0 to 10 and then write down what I had eaten on that day and if my tinnitus was louder than usual. The problem with this is that I found myself focusing on my tinnitus way too much. I struggled to keep my mind off it. So I...

Prednisone might (actually will!) help if there is inflammation in the nerve. Prednisone improved my hearing yet my tinnitus remained. Best to remain calm, I know it sucks but try to remain calm (I know it's easier said than done, in my early days I was hitting myself with a belt to take my...

thanks @hans799. So I can say that I have somatic atonal tinnitus thanks to this forum :) Thanks for your reply.

Hi @spedgas, sorry for asking but what is meant by 'tonal or atonal nature of tinnitus'? I don't know what is the meaning and difference of tonal and atonal.

Thanks @annV for the article.

I thought that 'My Pillow' had something to do with curing tinnitus at first. Loooool. I googled "my pillow + tinnitus" I felt like the biggest dumbass ever!

Hi @katieo I feel kind of obliged to reply as my tinnitus started the same time yours started and I do find myself asking the same questions that you asked. My early days were very very tough, I was admitted twice to ER, was given a jab to calm down twice. I barely slept for the first 10...

The thing is that when I have a couple of espresso shots my tinnitus remains as is, so it has to be sugar!

I think sugar makes tinnitus crazy, I noted that every single time I eat Nutella my tinnitus spikes. Every single time. So bye bye Nutella.
