Solsaem Clinic (Dr. Minbo Shim) Experience

Someone mentioned that this treatment seems painful. All I can say is that Dr. Shim knows what he's doing and to just deal with any pain as it comes.
 
He gave me his bank info and I paid him at my bank by transferring money directly. Not via Western Union.
Another sign that Minbo Shim is a scam artist... not accepting card payments. What doctor in 2019 doesn't accept card payments? You got it right, scam artists, because you can't challenge a direct bank payment. Card payment you can if you feel you've been scammed.

John went there himself. He had 80 shots into the ear. He was once extremely skeptical until he did research. Since he got back, he has been reporting pretty good news on here... Are you calling him a liar?

I'm not sure about that, but your post is very colorful. Just waiting for @JohnAdams final testimony (which could take several months) before judging would be best though. Medical procedures can be very costly to perform whether they work or not.

Quite a few cancer patients try expensive experimental procedures or meds with no guarantees. I've heard of someone paying close to $500,000 for cancer treatments that were not covered by insurance.

A positive mindset is best for all of us IMO.

Let's all calm down please, Agatha, some logic please.

I just had an operation, unexpected, precancerous stuff. I went to Bangkok Thailand which is the closest place to me to do the procedure. I paid the money upfront. Isn't that the case with any medical procedure on earth, correct me if I'm wrong, honestly. Where can you say, especially with an experimental procedure, I'll pay you after the procedure on my satisfaction... unheard of.

We are all losing it, or rather, I'm being ground down by this illness and am losing my mind, happiness and quality of life...massively. Of course I don't want anyone to be scammed, but I think your accusation or grounds of your accusation don't make much sense if you think about it, or at least to me. And no, you did not call John Adams a liar... Perhaps we can keep things constructive or more positive, I know that sounds crazy coming from me...

Again, if my logic about payments for operations is flawed, kindly correct me..

Thanks... back to regenerative hope and medicine.

WOW you're so smart you must have an IQ of 500!!!!!
Actually your logic is hideously and pathetically distorted.
 
I never had what would be considered hearing loss. My lowest dips were at 25 dB which is a borderline mild loss, but those frequencies are now back to 0 dB. I can only go by the dates on the audiograms which show an 8-month interval, but this doesn't really give a clue as to how long it took for my hearing to get to that stage or how reliable the audiograms are with an accuracy of +- 10 dB. My latest audiograms - I've had two since - were both better than the audiogram I posted dated March 2016. My hearing on my latest tests was perfect (from memory all frequencies were on or nearly at 0 dB and some were above 0 meaning super acute hearing), however, with that said, my tinnitus is exactly the same and still fluctuates.

I have no explanation for any of this, at all. It does seem that my hearing recovered somewhat, though, because my improvements generally go beyond the margin of error of +- 10 dB.
When my hearing improved my tinnitus lowered significantly, and my damage barely showed up on tonal audiograms to begin with.
 
And how did you improve your hearing?
Just by resting and not exposing myself to loud noise.

I also took magnesium, b-12, and melatonin.
I wish there was more science to explain how nerves in the ear heal.
 
@JohnAdams do you have any plans for your final report?

Something I think people would want to see is:


- Explain your type of tinnitus before going
- Explain the procedure of getting in contact and the process of before going
- Audiogram in US before going to clinic

- Audiogram at clinic pre treatment
- Explanation of treatment
- Audiogram at clinic after treatment

- Audiogram after 3 months after being home
- Follow up about current level of tinnitus

Well I had a yearly hearing test before tinnitus and now since tinnitus my hearing test is better than all the years before, i wonder why that is.

I hope researchers are trying to figure out the positive aspect to these things.

The thing is some people get better, and others get worse. That's what's scary.

@Manny, @Artazanasss, @PetitGarsTimide and @Tempest are four users other than myself who suffer from muffled hearing, broken hearing, hearing loss in background noise after continued loud noise exposure but very little damage shows up on the audiogram. Three of them I know have it really bad and don't seem to be making natural recoveries.

When I look in my own environment most people with tinnitus get better, I'm not one of them so far.
 
Didn't you say R. David Case's sound file helped you?
Yes but I went back to baseline after two weeks.
I don't have the feeling I can hear better after tinnitus onset, but that's what they told me after my last audiogram. It was not an extended one.
 
When it's quiet and I lay my head on a pillow I can hear it. Sometimes my right ear is silent, sometimes not. Left ear is still making a noise, but it's different from before my treatment. It's a little quieter and the tone doesn't sound as full. I sleep very well over all.
Has your mild visual snow resolved?

I am so happy for you @JohnAdams!

For me this is a big success and you can say the treatment has been worth it! Many NBA players and other sports can have multiple stem cells treatments so you are on the safe side for future treatments with stem cells and Frequency Therapeutics.

And most importantly again, you have my respect, because the treatment has worked very well, you have had the courage to take action and this is awesome. Enjoy your recovery colleague!
 
I thought you already did the most injections in your bad ear? The tinnitus is still holding on strong?
 
I'm about to plan a trip to Korea, might as well try all my options before thinking about death lol.

Have you looked into every bit of information and contacted Minbo Shim? You can't just show up there and expect to be treated. Do research on this, or be patient on your decision until John posts his before and after results as such.
 
I've reached out to Shim and I've been researching the PRP treatment and it seems promising, based on John's progress so far I'm willing to take the chance especially since I'm very young and my acoustic trauma is fairly recent at 4 months.

At the very least, make sure you're in touch with the correct person and such, okay?
