    Repeated Modified Nerve Blocks and Auditory and Non-Auditory Nerve Stimulation

    Exactly. 0.003%. You can always calculate a % that says it's possible, but when it gets to percentages like 0.003% I believe eyebrows should be raised. There were other issues with the study that I chose to ignore because I didn't want to doubt it. For example the study includes this...

    Repeated Modified Nerve Blocks and Auditory and Non-Auditory Nerve Stimulation

    I'm going to have to agree. Statistically I don't see how it's possible to reconcile the 5 (or is it 6 of us now) experiencing no effect/worsening, with the results of the published study. I believe the study must have been fabricated. Which makes me feel even more betrayed, because the people...

    Prototype Device for Electrical and Magnetic Stimulation of the Ear in the Treatment of Tinnitus

    Where are you seeing "50% had a complete elimination of tinnitus after treatment"? Your post read 27.4%.

    Friend's Noise-Induced Tinnitus Went Away Completely After 2 Years

    I'm a little confused by this post as 30 dB is literally the volume of an average whisper. The ambient sound inside of a library is ~ 40 dB, and normal average adult conversation runs ~ 50 dB.

    Repeated Modified Nerve Blocks and Auditory and Non-Auditory Nerve Stimulation

    I believe they would perform the treatment without lidocaine if you requested that. But like Chinmoku, I was told the lidocaine dosage was too small to be ototoxic.

    Repeated Modified Nerve Blocks and Auditory and Non-Auditory Nerve Stimulation

    I hope so! I'm not sure where the generally accepted cutoff is between acute and chronic. At the clinic they considered it to be 6 months.

    Repeated Modified Nerve Blocks and Auditory and Non-Auditory Nerve Stimulation

    It's left ear only and it's constant. My best description is it fluctuates between hissing (pitch can vary a little) and an electrical short circuit sound.

    Repeated Modified Nerve Blocks and Auditory and Non-Auditory Nerve Stimulation

    I'm surprised you found this weird. After just a month with my tinnitus I would traveled to the moon and spent much more than I did in South Korea, if I had hoped that it would help (which I did). I reached out to the clinic via the contact e-mail in the original published study. What made this...

    Repeated Modified Nerve Blocks and Auditory and Non-Auditory Nerve Stimulation

    My thoughts exactly. I was told while there that they have been using this procedure for ~20 years (and with over 400 patients), and overall the results were very similar to the published study results. I remember thinking before I began treatment "if this works as published and it has been...

    Repeated Modified Nerve Blocks and Auditory and Non-Auditory Nerve Stimulation

    Tinnitus is so frustrating. I remember this study in which Amitriptyline had been studied as a treatment for (and purportedly shown to improve) subjective tinnitus. Efficacy of amitriptyline in the treatment of subjective tinnitus

    Repeated Modified Nerve Blocks and Auditory and Non-Auditory Nerve Stimulation

    Not really. They just expressed disappointment that it didn't have the results we both hoped for. They also said they believe it may improve futher in the future (apparently several study participants reported slightly better T-VAS at the one year follow-up than at end of treatment).

    Repeated Modified Nerve Blocks and Auditory and Non-Auditory Nerve Stimulation

    Hello all, I've been meaning to post for a while now and I apologize for the delay. This will actually be my first ever post on the forum. I'm the other guy that went to Sirh's private pain clinic for treatment, before Bryson. I had 21 treatments there, and I returned to the United States on...
