Reminds me of the research now starting around MDMA as a cure for tinnitus (ringing in the ears) [1]. Lots of people who use the drug have self reported a reduction in the ringing they hear. It'd be real interesting if this eventually led to it being a prescription medicine too.

I cured my stress and tinnitus so loud I could hardly hear and sleep with my own homemade Changa (dmt+hamalas) with one trip. Most amazing drug ever... and I did them all ;)

I’m pretty sure DMT gave me tinnitus, so I guess it affects people in different ways.

Yes I read that happening too temporarily but I was kinda desperate and it got me out of a bad loop and into healthier living and better sleep which took the stress and the tinnitus with it.

Oh man I have mild tinnitus and wish for a cure, but psychedelics are intimidating to me. I feel like if I was 5 years younger I would dive right in but I don't know if I could do it now a days.

I recommend How to Change Your Mind. https://www.amazon.com/Change-Your-Mind-Consciousness-Transc...

As someone who used psychedelics as a teenager and later as an adult cured myself of schizo/bipolar using MDMA and mushrooms, I’d say that being older is nothing to fear.

You are wiser, more mature and the smartest you’ve ever been.

Psychedelics as an adult is so much more enjoyable when done responsibily.

There's more depth to the experience the older we are, especially if it's a first time. I'd argue it's better with age.

I don't know about treating tinnitus, but it's never too late for a magic mushroom trip while camping in the forest.
