Great job, Tinnitus Talk team, thanks a lot for that!!!:)

@AliceW Dear Alice, I'm so sorry for your condition! I hope it will improve soon, I want to send you some energy and hope. And thanks a lot for sharing your story, it is important to know about your experience. Whatever caused it, the cold (a virus), Lenire, or the combination of both, is not...

Hi Winter, I also suffered from ear infection recently, it took me three months to heal in total. But mine was a bit different to yours I guess. I had fluid behind the eardrum and my ear canal and sinuses were swollen, I also guess my eustachian tube was swollen, that's how it felt, but I...

Oh my god! It's so sad to read this. Rest in peace dear Allan1967.

Hi Yuuls, I live in Germany, and ENTs here don't diagnose hyperacusis. Many times it is ignored by them, they just tell not to protect the hearing in everyday life. And this is a very general statement because: what is everyday life? So when is it important to protect and when is it not? And...

Hi Yuuls, I guess I know what you mean and this is a very sensible subject to talk or write about. This is how I deal with it: Nobody knows that I still have (mild) tinnitus and hyperacusis. I'm not even sure if it is really hyperacusis or my perception, of course I pay more attention to loud...

Hi Allan, It seems like your ear infection isn't completely gone, whatever it was. So I guess antibiotics would be worth a try, well I hope I'm right. I'm dealing with a similar thing again, but mine is not visible on the ear drum yet. Just everything feels swollen, I'm on antibiotics...

Hi there everyone, I'm still busy with my ear infection thing. The fluid behind the ear drum was almost gone, I guess it lasted two weeks or something like that when it was ok and then it came all the way back. I caught a cold again, and the fluid and swelling came back. So now I'm dealing...

@Liz Windsor, Thank you so much for sharing your experience. Well, I am not a native English speaker, so maybe that's why I can't catch the meaning of your writing completely. So I would like to ask you: - Are you saying it is too early to make a statement like: Lenire works for me, or Lenire...

@ruud1boy and @Cojackb, Thanks a lot for your updates guys. It seems like we don't have a real "success story" right now. Maybe we hear from @Liz Windsor, @TinMan, @jacob21 and @Redknight soon. Maybe they have experienced some benefit. As far as I know those are the others who have passed 12...

Hi Rb86, thanks for your advice. I have the apple cider vinegar at home. Nice Idea, I will try this. Now it's 80 percent gone, so not bad, but not completely healed either. I know it takes time, and it seems long, but I have had it only 3 weeks tomorrow, so that's not too bad. Also I have...

Hi Julien, If I were you and able to leave, I would do so. I live in Berlin, Germany, and we also have a lot of bombs form World War II. Sometimes they are just found because of construction work. Then we are also told that they are going to dismantle it, and to stay away from certain...

Update: Today I'm feeling better, I still have hope that the fluid in my right ear will subside. It just came into my mind to mention this: I asked the ENT if Azithromycin is ototoxic, and she looked it up in a special internal system on her computer. What it exactly was where she looked I...

Hi Allan, Did you go to the ENT or somewhere else? In Germany all doctors now have to offer special times where emergency cases can visit them. It means you could go everyday to the ENT if you have any problem. It's not the same in the UK? Usually they should know how to treat your symptoms...

Hi there Allan, I hope the infection doesn't increase your tinnitus permanently. It can happen, but it can also NOT happen. I have had at least 7 ear infections already, I mean the so called "otitis media" and they have not increased my tinnitus. The thing is, the infection makes the tinnitus...

Update: Hi there everyone, there is still fluid behind my eardrum, in the middle ear I guess. The ENT told me it is not an ear infection, but the other thing which is connected to the eustachian tube. It means, my right ear inside is still somehow swollen, the fluid is still in there, but it...

Hi there everyone, I caught a cold and Saturday last week I realised that there is water, or something, behind my eardrum in the right ear. I went to the ENT, and first she tried to cure it by using medicine like Sinupret. Then it did not improve and she described me Azithromycin, an...

Hi guys, I really hope we will know more soon. Let's see how the User Experiences will go... The early users are still only in their third or forth week, so it's still a waiting game...

@Allan1967 Hi Allan, I agree with Nanny Chocolate. My two cents: You are their customer, so if you're feeling concerned you should be allowed to call them. My perception is this should be part of the customer service. Now I start wondering about the other early users of the device, are...

Hi guys, I guess for the moment it's still time for speculation. The treatment is new, and nobody knows anything about the outcomes. We will see... @Hazel: Thanks a lot again for your great work! @Allan1967: Did Neuromod offer you a phone call if you're feeling concerned? Can I ask if you...

Hi guys, This is just a small update. Everything went fine, what felt to me like an infection of the ear canal was just that I crunched my teeth too much at night. I was at the ENT and he checked everything carefully. Too much stress at work lately, but now I'm on holiday and can relax. Also I...

Hi Matthew, I'm also using DMSO, but never heard of a gel. That's probably because I'm based in Germany. Well, 70% seems a lot, the percentage seems very high, but I'm not sure. You can check on DMSO websites if the percentage is ok. I only drink it and drinking it, one should use only 15%...

Hi Bill, thanks, I guess yesterday I just panicked because of the pain in my ear, it feels a lot better today. So I sat there and all the horror stories and "what ifs" came into my mind. I guess the infection is not that bad, it already improved from yesterday to today. I guess I overdid...

Hi Greg, Yeah I will, I feel a lot better than yesterday and calmer also, tomorrow is Monday then I'm going to see a doctor, Thanks, Mandalay

Hi guys, to make a long story short, for many weeks I've been doing so much better with my tinnitus and hyperacusis, especially my hyperacusis. My hyperacusis was the reason I came to this forum weeks ago. Well, what I did differently was I protected my ears more with earplugs and also I drank...

Hi Markku, Thanks a lot for this example/explanation. Of course all this is also about the privacy of Tinnitus Talk members. I mean it's a very personal experience to receive the treatment at Neuromod and not everybody decides to share it. Very understandable. Thanks. Mandalay

Hi guys, I follow this thread all the time because I'm so curious about the outcomes. Well, I guess Neuromod could realistically not prohibit talking about their treatment. Also, if they are really seeking something like that (wanting people not to write about Lenire on a forum), it would be...

Hi guys, I guess at the moment Neuromod is just overwhelmed. It will improve over time (I hope), and I keep my fingers crossed that this device seriously helps. Reading all your posts makes me realise how serious this condition can be. Actually I would dance with the devil to find a cure to...

Hi everyone, This looks very interesting and it looks like they are going to start selling Lenire, wow! I keep my fingers crossed for you that Lenire works. It would be great! I will follow how all of you guys are doing. My tinnitus is really mild nowadays, so I feel like stepping back and...

Hi Allan, I guess I know what you're dealing with. And it is very complicated. Sometimes it can be just the fear of a noise, and sometimes the noise IS definitely the problem. Sometimes everything seems too loud for me, and many times it does not. It depends on the noise itself, it depends on...

Hi Flying Sheep, It would be good to google if morphine and the anti-inflammatory is ototoxic, just to make sure. The steroid should be ok, I guess because that's also used as a tinnitus medication. I also guess you have a spike because your condition is bad, because you have the back pain...

I was at Dr. Wilden's place when his clinic was in Bad Füssing, it was in 2002. I had 5 sessions of LLLT, during 5 days. It did not work at all. Nothing happened, my tinnitus did not improve in any way, and also there was no further damage or anything. Just nothing happened. At that time I was...

Hi Elfin, I'm not sure which earplugs you are talking about, for example I'm wearing these musician earplugs if it is getting loud around me. If I can't plug them in because I don't have the time to do so, I just plug my ears with my fingers. I'm ok with that and don't mind if it looks funny...

@EDDTEKK, Hi again, I hope I can ask you another question. Right now I don't know how to send a private message, I could not figure it out, or maybe I can't send them because I'm too new to the forum. I'm already planning on how and what to ask at the Tinnitus Clinic in Regensburg, the more...

:)

Hi everyone, thanks for all your replies, Tinnitus Talk seems like a good community, I'm glad to be here. I guess now I can make up my mind and try it one more time, I will contact the clinic in Regensburg, as you recommended, EDDTEKK. I can risk a phone call:) Reading here I learned a lot...

Hi Arseny, It's interesting that you mention LLLT, but I already tried it in 2002 at Dr. Wilden's place when he was still based in Bad Füssing, Germany. To me it did not work at all. I guess everyone is different. For some people it worked, for some it did not. Well, my tinnitus is not that...

Hi Autumnly, thanks a lot. I see it is worth a try:) Mandalay

Hi EDDTEKK, Wow, thanks for your advice. That sounds really great. Tinnitus Center Regensburg, I never heard of it and I will google it now :) That is good news, thanks, Mandalay Edit: Is it this one? http://www.tinnituszentrum-regensburg.de/

Hi Autumnly, of course it's a shame that it did not work, but you managed to convince your doctor for a prescription of medical treatment, that's great. I guess the GP is what we call "Hausarzt" in German, right? If I can read more experiences like yours I think I will have the courage to try...

Hi Autumnly, and Contrast, thanks for answering me, and yes, ENTs are just horrible in here (Germany), thanks for your verification :) And Autumnly, can I ask if you ever tried getting any medical treatment prescribed? And did it work? Did somebody based in Europe ever had success of...

Hi Michael, thanks for answering me, I just opened a Thread at the Support section, hoping to recieve some answers from the members based in Europe, I put the link here...

Hi there, I just joined Tinnitus Talk today, but I have been reading for a while. I introduced myself first and now I hope I can post some questions to member based in Europe. I would really like to try a medical treatment, Keppra, because I'm also suffering from hyperacusis, and I want to try...

Hi there, Im Mandalay, I have had tinnitus for almost 18 years from an acoustic trauma and I'm based in Germany. I've been reading Tinnitus Talk for a while but never registered, my tinnitus is fluctuating from "1" to "4" depending on the day. When it all started, it was bad and loud, over the...
