I'm a digital effects animator for Disney who has worked on such films as Frozen and Maleficent, but my degree is actually from the University of California SD in European History (I originally wanted to become a teacher like my sister)

Imagine it's 1865 (150 yrs ago), and you've contracted an annoying, painful, and (albiet uncurable) but ultimately unfatal disease. Imagine your thought pattern at the time. "How could I be so dumb, this Syfilis is destroying me!" Your throught would be, "All this technology, they have to find a...

Search Yelp! for a trust worthy ENT in D.C. Make sure you get an audiology exam that day to see if you have hearing loss. Do you fly on planes? Are you scared of flying? Heighted anxiety will get better. Ask for an injectionof predisone in the ear during your visit. Chances are you'll recover...

Good point, I agree.

Why don't they just take a real cochlea from a human donor and install that? They could give you a drug so that your body doesn't try and reject the organ.

Has anyones tinnitus ever temporarily disappeared? I know some people's tinnitus has vanished completely but those people are not likely to be hanging out on a forum like this anymore so I wanted to share my experiences of the three times mine has gone away> 1) I've had tinnitus since 2010...

It looks like the guy who developed this for tinnitus and brought it to the publics attention jumped ship. He hasn't posted anything about it on his blog in quite a while. I think he's designing video games now? Just Google Will Rossilini. (He's got like six college degrees and used to play...

What happens when the battery goes dead? Does it set off detectors at airports? If it doesnt work can they remove it? It seems somewhat invasive to me.

I can make my left ear spasm when I play a d#note on my guitar. Not joking, just that note does it.

Hi everyone I've had tinnitus for over 4 years now which I believe was caused by loud noise exspoure and/or possibly an antibiotic. Around the same time I aquired tinnitus I also began having crackeling mucus sounds in my ear when I swallow. I recently stumbled upon an article where someone with...

I've met people who think Jesus smoked herb and God put weed on this Earth for our pleasure of consumption but I don't know man. Just because it grows naturally and is old doesn't mean anything. Native Indians in Peru used to chew coca leaves for their energy inducing magical powers and the...

You're absolutely right, I never thought about it but all the drugs I listed can definitely build a tolerance and lose their efficiency after a while. I hope the tinnitus drugs dont do that!

I've taken three psychoactive drugs in the past and all of them have had instant positive results. (Adderall since I was a teen, Xanax for flying anxiety, and I was prescribed Vicodin in college after a car accident). In each case, there was never any doubt they were effective as they kicked in...

I knew this was a joke. People are so desperate they'll throw their cash at anything. A fool and his money are soon parted.

Your first move should be to change that crappy name "TinAway". Fire the person who thought of that. It reminds me of Quietus, Tinnitus Miracle, etc. You'll never be taken seriously. Although I don't believe it works, look at Neuromonics. That's a name that sounds scientific enough to fool...

I have a bridge I could sell you.

It could be meniere's disease.

Sorry to hear about your tinnitus Jeannie although I have doubts that it was caused by a chemical peel procedure. Epinephrine is a natural hormone produced by our own bodies and sometimes used to control bleeding. Lidocaine is a local anesthetic that has been around for a long time and has...

Kirsten, if you can provide at least one published report with data supporting your hypothesis, I'll sign up through my primary care doctor asap. I'll even buy you a pair of sunglasses to keep that glare out of your eyes.

What someone considers a 'cure' is subjective. Remember that idiot Kevin Trudeau who used to sell books on late night infomercials that claimed "all natural cures"? Well my aunt actually bought the book at WalMart of all places and in the last chapter (yes, I read it at her house), he basically...

Kirsten, I think the best person you should talk to is Dr. Thomas Coleman. He is a leading expert on tinnitus research and has written extensive books on the issue. Just Google his name and I'm sure he can help you find lots of people with cash to invest in Tinaway.

I wouldn't get too excited about this Tinaway product. Every six months a sound device comes on the market with pretty much the same claim, that they can suppress the tinnitus signal by disrupting the overly excited neurons within the auitory cortex region of the brain (which is where tinnitus...

I've been taking Wellbutrin 150mg daily for my ADHD, which is a very small dose. My tinnitus seems ramped up lately. Has anyone had any experience with Wellbutrin affecting their tinnitus? It is listed as being an uncommon side effect on webmd.

A few years ago I was able to take a CBT course online for free that was being sponsored by a British University (can't remember which one). It was being done in conjunction with a survey at the end to decide whether or not the results warranted further research. I actually enjoyed taking it. It...

I've been taking mineral supplements lately that have been causing me to have lucid dreams and last night I had a crazy dream involving my tinnitus. It started like this: I get a call from my ENT doctor who tells me to come to his office right away. I go in and he tells me he has good news and...

Try masking the ringing with white noise from an earbud. Make sure you keep the volume down so you dont aggravate your ear too much.

What do you mean by 'safe'? Every med has side effects, just wiki Valium, everythings there. I'm personally dumbfounded by people that talk about benzos like they're crack. Its like telling someone not to have a beer, they might become addicted. Every year millions of people around the world die...

I agree, but according to the ATA the majority of people with tinnitus also have some level of hearing loss (myself included). As far as getting famous musicians to donate, I used to work in the industry and have met many professional musicians who suffer from both tinnitus and hearing loss...

Hellers is a very smart person, but his opinion is based on the theory that the more we discover, the less we understand. Let me give you an example. My sister (who is a doctor) has stacks of medical journals dating back to the 1970's that I helped her organize one day at her house. I can't tell...

From my understanding the tinnitus from Benzo withdrawal is actually temporary and reversible.

I had a conversation with Dr. Stefan Heller from Stanford University's renowned Initiative on Hearing Loss and he told me that my previous estimates of clinical trials by the year 2020 (based off of lead Otolarengolist Dr. Jackler's own prediction) are not realistic. I won't go into our exact...

I wrote an email to Dr Heller years ago (2010?) and he responded that he predicts ten years before clincial trial, so that would have been the year 2020.

I read on their website they predicted stem cells treatments by the year 2020. It makes me wonder why they cant just transplant a human donor cochlea when they have transplant so many other organs.

I went through CBT but not because of tinnitus it was because of anxiety (agoraphobia) and a fear of flying I developed because of it. Ive never heard of needing a referral from your GP to see a therapist.

Once the transponder is installed it is in your body for life whether it works or not. This is due to the electrodes fusing around the nerve tissue. I read about a guy who tried this years ago and the battery went bad and he had to be opened up again to have it replaced. He also had problems...

Believe it or not, about three years ago I posted a video on YouTube about my experience with tinnitus and when I reached about 10k views (it now has over 25k) I received a private message from Thomas Coleman (or someone using his Tinnitus Miracle account) asking if I'd be willing to make a...

I was in your shoes years ago. I have a degree in music from UC-San Diego, and when I was on the student council, I had to listen to numerous musical submissions as the activities and events director. I then worked as an intern with a major record label and eventually became an A&R associate...

I know this sounds like a stupid question, but I've always been pretty slim. Here I am three years after developing tinnitus and I'm 25+ pounds overweight. I recently had my blood levels checked by my MD because I have a family history of hypothyroidism, but everything came back normal. Anyone...

I've been taking Tenex (Guanfacine 1mg) from my doctor for about a month to control adult ADHD symptoms and have noticed my tinnitus is lower. Has anyone here have any experience with this drug? There doesnt really seem to be much info about it on the web anywhere.
