Nice Morty!!
Agreed! Very nice mate!
Very nice indeed.
Hope you had some good earplugs - being so close to the drums and a snare drum in front of you! BADABOOM! :). I know a good cure for tinnitus ... take pure alpha lipoic acid. They use it in the army against firearm ear fatigue... BANGBANGBANGBANG!!!

Really? The only indication where alpha lipoic acid is approved is polyneuropathia with diabetic patients. Not tinnitus.
I know this... it's off label and a very powerful antioxidant... trust me - my personal experience is that it really works... 
Forget about approval - if one waited for approval, medicine would still be in the leech application phase...

Studies don't show this, so all there is is your personal experience. Not enough for general approval.
Giving the recommendation to take a non approved drug in an internet forum without consulting a professional is very bad advice.

I completely disagree. I run a practice which is also a GCP certified study center. What you say and recommend is utterly wrong.

Firstly, tell me why I am utterly wrong, as opposed to just wrong.
I got the advice from an ENT professor (Ear Nose and Throat = ONH). This person also does research on tinnitus and explained to me the problems about approval... I am also a biochemist and am aware of this type of issue. I rest my case here, not wanting to be accused of going off topic.
But here is some more information, it's on the fly of course

Dear Freisegler,
I said utterly wrong because I find it utterly wrong, in the sense of completely wrong.
Im fully aware of off label use of certain drugs for a certain indication but it is good clinical practice to conduct studies to verify or falsify the effect of a substance for a certain indication.
As human beings are complex, and as the matters of investigation are complex as well and as endpoints are often blurred the subject gets quite complicated.
I don't want to rain on your parade but like I said, giving a recommendation on a non- trivial matter like tinnitus is, well, wrong as well... )
That said, I'm having quite some sympathy for your ENT professor.
Tinnitus is very hard to treat and the reasons why tinnitus exists are many.
Common sense at the moment is that there is no 'gold standard' of treatment, but the reasons for the tinnitus of one individual should be identified first.
Often the ENT specialists are left to some vague recommendation/advice because NO drug has shown evidence yet that it can cure or better tinnitus. So they do only vague recommendations
But tinnitus occurance is so often that it should be absolutely no problem for an ENT professor at university to form two study groups with the same amount of tinnitus (tinnitus must be qualified and quantified before), and then treat one with alpha lipoic acid and the other one with placebo, in a double blind study design.
If the results were significant well then we'd be talking.
Have a nice day and please don't take my post personal in any way.

600mg bd. It's well below the toxicity threshold so this is just a quiet recommendation... Which has worked for me. I can understand your reasoning. Maybe I should explain that this professor has been working experimentally in this field for quite a number of years. So double blinds, X-squared and so on are all very familiar... Try the references... And there are more. Whatever... no hard feelings... In situations like this I like to remember the phrase "What you see is not all there is". Perhaps it's just that...
OK fellas back on topic
