True. Do we know of any people who had SC treatment at the StemCells21 clinic for tinnitus due to noise damage?

Are there theoretical reasons for why SC treatment wouldn't work as well for people with noise-induced tinnitus? One would think damage to the inner-ear is damage to the inner-ear regardless of the cause.

What were the causes of tinnitus for those who had good results?

Just wanted to let everyone know: I emailed StemCells21 a few months ago asking about a less expensive treatment, and this is what they showed me: One Day Treatment Program: 5,000 USD IV Nutrition Infusion : NAD+ Stem cell administration: 1) Stem Cell injection 15 million MSC around both...

I wouldn't be surprised if it's mostly old information. They most likely did this to get the word out about the upcoming clinical trial.

Did you (or anyone else) catch the webinar? Any important/useful information you can tell us? @Markku

Have you gotten a response back from Kilgard?

Oh, so you can access them for free later on?

Yes, that's it. Here's a better link: https://www.ata.org/news/news/register-atas-webinar-vagus-nerve-stimulation It looks like you either need to pay for an ATA membership (which is around $40-$55) or pay a one-time fee of $25 to watch the webinar.

kilgard@utdallas.edu I emailed him a few months ago. He took about 2 days to respond.

It can go away, if that's what you're asking, but there's no way of knowing whether or not it will.

Focusing on it will not actually make it worse. It will make you think it's worse because you're paying attention to it. Cover it up or "mask" it with other sounds. Personally, I have rain sounds playing in my room. Do things to distract yourself from the noise. Play video games, listen to...

I was checking my email and Will Rosellini responded to a tweet I sent him back in April (which he had already previously responded to.) This original tweet I sent Will: @NeuroStim Is the next trial planned? Sorry for all the questions, have had tinnitus for over a year and very anxious for...

Yeah, I've seen two or three people report their results on this forum (it failed for all of them.) But, according to the results from the second trial, 56% of patients (about 17 out of 30) had good results. I'm thinking a.) most of the participants were older people (50+) who might barely use...

You can send them an email at the bottom of this page: http://dev-microt.pantheonsite.io/en-gb/tinnitus/physicians/how-it-works VNS has been known to treat a number of chronic ailments (epilepsy, depression, tinnitus, even obesity and chronic hiccups) but it's still considered experimental...

It's different for everyone. Mine is lowest in the morning, loudest midday, then gradually gets better the later it gets, then the cycle repeats when I wake up.

Tried it as a last resort. Was paying out of pocket and went to about 12 appointments over the course of 6 weeks. Zero improvement/change in anything. If you have insurance that will cover it, I'd say give it a shot. If you're paying out of pocket, and you really want to try it, only go for 2...

Did you email them through the site I linked in earlier posts? I'm not entirely sure if they've released it in Europe yet. It might be a few more months until they do.

I emailed them through that site and they said they are in the process of submitting the paper to an academic journal, so it should be available soon. They also said the next trial will be starting near the end of 2016 or the beginning of 2017.

http://dev-microt.pantheonsite.io/en-gb/tinnitus/physicians/clinical-experiences If you check that link, there is some information about the results. I also contacted Dr. Kilgard a couple days ago, and he said they were currently writing up the paper for the results.

Was there any issue with your tinnitus assessment? Another participant on here said that he had so many different noises and tones that made it difficult to figure out which one was the main tone. Also, do you know what the cause of your tinnitus is?

Please don't try to twist my words. My point was that it doesn't only work for people with hearing loss/noise damage, which is what it sounded like you were trying to say. Also, how do you know yours is caused by stress? Did you have some kind of brain test done?

Well yeah, the initial tests they did were on mice where they induced tinnitus through noise damage, so of course it probably only works on people who have it from damage to the cochlea. But really, you need to stop making it sound like it doesn't work for anyone. It works for some, it doesn't...

Most likely. Insurance companies will probably just say you can't prove you have T.

Yeah...a silly thing for him to say. We already know it works. And we know it doesn't work for some people. But we don't have all the information about why it works for some and not for others.

Very low chance of insurance covering it in the US unless you have very, VERY severe T. Then again, tinnitus is more about how it effects you, and not just what you're hearing/how loud it is. It's possible that if you kept going back to the doctor over and over, now that there is a real...

The same can be said about any treatment for tinnitus. I'm interested to see what they say about the people that didn't have clinically meaningful results. In the first trial, it was people who were on antidepressants or similar medications. Maybe they found out something new in this trial.

Probably Spanish in 10th grade. I passed with a D and didn't learn Spanish.

I didn't find anything, but if you scroll down there is a "Contact Us" option where you can send them a message and ask.

Another update. I received an email this morning which lead me to a new site with information that will be moved over to microtransponder.com. The main page: http://dev-microt.pantheonsite.io/ If you choose United States/English it simply says the device is not yet available in the US and...

I think I'm dealing with something similar. I have 3 different sounds, and with my fan on at about 55db, two of the sounds are easily masked, but the third sound with the highest pitch sort of blends in with the sound of my fan and it is incredibly irritating.

A small update. I emailed Dr. Kilgard about the status of the results from the second clinical trial and when the third clinical trial would be announced. He said the paper for the results is currently being written, and that there is no set date for the third trial, but the FDA has already...

I think I had only heard the word tinnitus for the first time a week or so before I got it. I'd been to two concerts and never got temporary tinnitus, only the fullness. I even have two uncles who have it, and neither of them ever said anything.

Haha, yeah. Also the fact that your hearing test went up to 20hkz. Most places in the US will only go up to 8khz, which is pretty useless for diagnosing tinnitus.

Sounds like TMJ is the culprit. It's even more likely if you only have tinnitus in one ear. Also, just curious, but what country are you from?

Kind of hard to understand your post, but if you're young and have no reason to believe you have excessive hearing loss or noise damage, it's definitely possible that your tinnitus is being caused by your jaw.

There's no way to know for sure if it's from TMJ. I was hopeful that mine was from TMJ, and that it would go away, or at least improve, after getting a splint. I've had a splint for almost a year, and no real change, although it has helped with other TMJ related issues. It also probably doesn't...

A lot of people with tinnitus end up being able to hear their Eustachian tubes crackle when yawning/swallowing. It's one of those many sounds our bodies make that we can normally tune out. I started hearing the crackling about a month after my tinnitus started, and it's pretty much stayed the...

I've been curious about this. The only thing I can think of is that medical devices/treatments require more clinical trials to be approved in the US.

After the results are released, there is going to be another clinical trial in the US (I'm assuming it will be in the US.) They have said they are looking to release it in Europe, this year most likely. It probably won't be out in the US for a few years.

So...what happened to it? The article is from 2010.

The thing about hearing tests is, for the most part, they only go up to 8k, while human hearing goes up to around 22-23k. So, you can have a "perfect" hearing test up to 8k. but have hearing loss in the very high frequencies. Our hearing is naturally "damaged" as we age regardless, but is easily...

It is very likely due to listening to loud music, going to loud concerts/bars. Noise damage is cumulative, which is why, for many people, tinnitus starts out of nowhere one day.

But, medically, that is tinnitus. I would think it's more powerful to say "Yes, I have tinnitus but it doesn't bother me." instead of "No, I don't have tinnitus."

Hopefully. Also, if you check http://www.willrosellini.com/ the first post states that there is going to be another study soon. So, I would think that means they had good results.

There's a small update on the main page of http://www.microtransponder.com/ It says: Note: We are in the process of updating this entire website. Check back in a few weeks to see the new site with additional information on our tinnitus therapy.

If the tinnitus is going, the ETD should go along with it, like it usually does when you get over a cold/infection. But, it could take weeks, maybe even months.

It started almost a year ago. I went to sleep at around 9pm, and woke up 2 hours later. I had a little bit of wax impacted in my right ear, and it was bothering me, so I put my finger in my ear to try and remove some of the wax, and that was the first time I heard it. Sometimes I wonder what...

Yeah, it's always hard to know what it's from unless it happens immediately after an event. Make sure to wear some earplugs at that party later.

No problem, man. Just trying to be helpful. From what I've read, tinnitus caused by a sinus infection can still take some time to go away after the infection is completely gone, so don't go too crazy if it doesn't stop immediately.

Yeah, I would think you still have inflammation in your sinuses/inner ear, which is causing the tinnitus. Not sure if you mentioned it, but did the tinnitus start with the infection?

Your doctor didn't prescribe any antibiotics?

A cold for 10 weeks? A cold caused by a virus wouldn't last that long. Are you sure you don't have a bacterial sinus infection? What did your ENT say about it?
