This only helps with tinnitus if you have Meniere’s disease. Tinnitus in those cases is made worse by vertigo and sudden hearing loss. It won’t work for chronic tinnitus without Meniere’s. It’s on a fast track, but there’s still a trial to finish, so we’re probably 2 years away from approval.

Does anyone have more info on Sound Pharma? I’ve been following their YouTube for quite some time.

My tinnitus is due to TMJ and cervical issues, so I’m skeptical this will help me. I’ve been using BrainProtect for general maintenance instead.

The p-value here is actually worse than the one linking tinnitus to the J&J vaccine. I’d guess the improvement seen in this trial is just a coincidence.

I don’t understand how this only treats tinnitus specifically from Meniere’s. That doesn’t make sense.

What about cases where tinnitus was caused by antidepressants?
