Hi all new here I am told my tinnitus and vertigo is Meneires disease first had tinnitus 16years ago,past 3 years vertigo and more loud tinnitus has hit me and also I believe I had whats called 2 drop attacks last year which then started a new different frequency tinnitus,left ear for 16yrs is high pitch hiss right since last August 2011 is a low hum
I was at my ENT for a yearly check and told him that I wished somone could invent something to stop this horrible tinnitus,I still havent had my hearing test but I know Ive lost more because I am hearing more noise now.He told me that stem cells is the cure but we dont have it here in Australia,in my research I found out about this Tinnex and am confused, is it an injection and if so where do they inject it and what is it? or is it a headphone device you listen to 2 times a day that has some kind of magnetic thing in it that within days to 4 weeks can lessen or even stop tinnitus?I am very keen to find out from anyone whos had this treatment or the stem cell treatment I believes in Iran,Japan and some Europian places??, how much it is and where it is? somone on a forum here said they were given the tinnex device to trial it so obviously its somewhere

Hi Betska,
Welcome to the forum.
You are right to be confused. 'Tinnex' used to be a headphone device that was distributed by a company called Tinnitronics in Austria some years ago. The device was later renamed to Ti-Ex (it has been discussed in this forum; just search for 'Ti-Ex'). The company went bankrupt in 2007, and the owner then apparently continued to sell/rent the device privately over the website http://www.tinnitus.cc/en/index.php . But as you can see, the website hasn't been updated for over a year, so I am not sure whether they still distribute the Ti-Ex device.
The other 'Tinnex' seems to be the name under which a drug (Caroverine) is being marketed now in India. But this drug is not approved at all in most other countries (apart from Austria, Switzerland and Japan; see http://www.tinnitusformula.com/library/ … treatment/ ).
