1 week update
2 weeks update
1 month update
2 months update
Results from AM-101 initial trial: I noticed a significant improvement immediately beginning with week 1. By the end of week 4 after injections I was having regular days or half-days of silence, as many as 4 that week, and lower T overall. After that they became more rare over the past 2 months, with 1-2 days of silence a week leading up to the following trial but my T held at lower levels on average.

Tinnitus description before injections:
After the initial AM-101 trial, I ended up with fleeting T ranging below my baseline, and random days of silence. I noticed the best frequency of silent days was towards the end of the first month. By month 3, before this round of injections, they settled at around 1-2 days of silence a week.
Date of injections:
5/27/2016-5/29/2016, 4 months since onset
Have you felt any change/improvement/worsening since the injections?
Yes. Not sure. No.
Not much change since week 1. I had another day of silence 2 days ago, and it continued to fluctuate between a 1-2, with it getting up to almost a 3/10 on a couple of days, and slightly higher frequency at times. Since I was already averaging 1-2 days of silence before the injections, I still can't say I noticed a significant difference so far from before the injections.
Current T severity and average T severity over the past week:
Current: 0.5/10. Having a very low day today but not complete silence.
Average over the past week: 1.5
Have you experienced any lasting (side) effects from the procedure?
No. My ear drums healed up fine. Eye check was also ok. My muffled right ear is pretty much completely clear, though I did notice it come back this past Wednesday after doing some heavy exercising. I haven't experienced it since.
Will you participate in the next round?
My feeling on this has not changed since last week. Only if I notice another significant improvement like I did from the first round, but so far it's been the same. Based on the results I'm seeing so far, I'm leaning more towards not likely but it's still early. I am curious to see how it's going to be at my 1 month update since that was when I experienced the most improvement during the first round of injections.
