    What Are Your Experiences with Lidocaine? Does It Silence Your Tinnitus?

    Has anyone ever tried Lidocaine as a potential treatment for their tinnitus? I've read a few people who have mentioned that a side effect of receiving Lidocaine is that their tinnitus goes away for a little while, although temporarily. Then just this week I've been speaking with someone...

    My Husband Is Struggling and I Just Don't Know What Else to Do

    @Bobby Sinatra - yes! He does the same too. He also found that when it gets really bad, being in the shower helps. The water echoing off the tiles seems to help short term. We alternate between the rain sounds at night and this that he found on You Tube: . We'll often play this at night or...

    My Husband Is Struggling and I Just Don't Know What Else to Do

    And the really difficult part of that is that while you're coming off them, you can't sleep because of your tinnitus. It's such a torturous experiment to see if it works. He was off it for a few months (I can't remember exactly how long anymore - maybe 3 months or so?). It seemed to be long...

    My Husband Is Struggling and I Just Don't Know What Else to Do

    That is really interesting, @Greg Sacramento ! I look forward to reading that article later this evening. If that were the case, wouldn't the tinnitus be temporary or at least come on again/off again with any flare-ups? He has flare-ups periodically but the tinnitus has been constant. And if...

    My Husband Is Struggling and I Just Don't Know What Else to Do

    Thanks, Greg. Definitely happy to answer any questions and look at all options. We've seen several doctors and specialists who have run many of the tests including MRIs to detect for jaw/neck damage or misalignments, mineral or vitamin deficiencies, etc. but so far haven't been able to...

    My Husband Is Struggling and I Just Don't Know What Else to Do

    We don't believe his tinnitus is caused by exposure to loud noises or trauma. The hair follicles are actually quite normal for his age and don't show signs of trauma. We thought it may have to do with medication he was on (various sleeping pills, etc.) but he was weaned off them and was...

    My Husband Is Struggling and I Just Don't Know What Else to Do

    You have no idea how much this means. Reading your story - I can relate so much to what my husband goes through. And hearing about where you are now compared to 3 years ago gives me so much hope. I've mentioned this forum several times so he knows it exists and he knows that many of the...

    My Husband Is Struggling and I Just Don't Know What Else to Do

    Thanks for the advice. I've been looking into Lenire but we're based in the US and so the logistics and cost of going there for something that may not work for us is a big commitment. We're still considering it, but hoping to exhaust every other avenue first. As I mentioned, he has tried...

    My Husband Is Struggling and I Just Don't Know What Else to Do

    Hi there... I've been reading threads on this forum for some time but just finally joined. My husband developed tinnitus just over a year ago and it was been quite the hellish year for us (as I'm sure most of you can relate to). He's at the end of his rope and I'm desperate to try and find...
