Introducing Tinnitus Quest

I also had to stop taking Gabapentin because my kidneys could not tolerate it.

Did your eGFR drop, or are you experiencing kidney pain?

I still cannot wrap my head around the results reported by Dr. Pulec. Over his career, he treated 151 patients, achieving complete relief of tinnitus in 101 of them and worthwhile improvement in 43 others…

@HighleyTall, obviously, a resolution on this procedure is long overdue. I only recently heard about this treatment, which supposedly reduces tinnitus in the majority of subjects. However, the only person who could perform it was a surgeon who passed away 22 years ago—and he is not mentioned even once on the ATA's website.

Do you realize how bizarre and unsettling that sounds?

I'm not suggesting that Dr. Pulec's procedure is unsound. It is certainly invasive, but given the lack of near-term options and the severity of our suffering, we need answers now.
