    Scared — Can't Cope with Tinnitus

    The same thing happened to me last year. I freaked out of course, scoured the internet and didn't find anything substantive. Background I have tinnitus and hyperacusis. Anyways, it began in the morning and the music in my car sounded funny and modulated with a robotic echo. It even occurred when...

    Botox 70% Success Rate as a Tinnitus Treatment!?

    There is a study from 2011 regarding TTTS (tensor tympani syndrome-pain, tightness, buzzing of speech and sound coming in, occasional clicking, fluttering, pulsating) and having botox temporarily calm down symptoms for 2-6 months. But TTS symptoms (my guess) are corollary to middle ear issues...

    Ears Hurting

    Your best bet would be to search out hearing specialists in Toronto. (do some google searches) Whatever method of treatment they prescribe it won't involve you travelling there often and as I've heard Dr. Nagler state (one of the resident doctors here on the site) after...

    Ears Hurting

    I haven't gotten the ear pieces yet, (WSG) and no I don't wear earplugs, the idea being that when those symptoms first manifest they can quickly, almost subliminally turn into misophonia, meaning that your brain perceives most sounds as a threat and in turn creates more pain in order to get you...

    Sound Sensitivity with Pain and "Loudness" Hyperacusis

    Same story, although vice-versa. First began with T, a few years later H, then both worsened and finally, the coup de grace, TTTS. I recently met with a Doctor here in LA, who is on Dr. Jastrebroffs TRT website and he explained that TTTS are just symptoms of H that at times manifest themselves...

    Ears Hurting

    If you have T, pretty much the only thing Doctors do is shrug their shoulders and prescribe Elavil (Amitrityline). It didn't help my T out, but it did help with TTTS (tensor tympani syndrome) which among other things cause discomfort in the general ear area, tightness, full-ear feeling, so...

    Ear Pain Triggered by Sound, Need Help!

    @shenandoah, to correctly administer the injection, it is essential for the doctor to understand the anatomy of the tensor tympani. here2help I think that goes without saying, but how do I find that doctor who understands the anatomy of the tensor tympani? Looking around on the internet, it...

    Ear Pain Triggered by Sound, Need Help!

    Can we get an update? Hows the T/H doing? And the TTTS? Do you still feel that reverberation or fluttering when you speak? I plan on doing the same thing with a doctor here in LA.

    Ear Pain Triggered by Sound, Need Help!

    I've been reading online, Jasterbroff TRT seems to be a commonly suggested treatment for TTTS (and all that that encompasses) I've also seen people recommending Botox injections to attenuate the reactions of the TT and also surgery to cut the TT although some state that that can have negative...

    Autifony Therapeutics Phase I Study for AUT00063, for the Treatment of Hearing Loss and Tinnitus

    Maybe I read too quickly, I didn't catch anything that lead me to believe it has been successful in relieving sufferers of T, am I mistaken?

    Choosing the Right TRT Program

    Hi Dr. Nagler, I recently read your post contrasting TRT and Nueromonics, and felt you eloquently laid out clear advantages of TRT when executed properly. As I expressed a few days back I am definitely interested in undergoing a TRT program and would like to do so with a Doctor trained under...

    Tinnitus Retraining Therapy

    This may be a shot in the dark, but I was wondering if anyone out there is aware of a reputable TRT program in Orange County, CA? Maybe even in Los Angeles? It would be ideal to have a little bit of feedback from fellow patients before looking into/investing in any kind of treatment. Anything...
