I'm a digital effects animator for Disney who has worked on such films as Frozen and Maleficent, but my degree is actually from the University of California SD in European History (I originally wanted to become a teacher like my sister)

Imagine it's 1865 (150 yrs ago), and you've contracted an annoying, painful, and (albiet uncurable) but ultimately unfatal disease. Imagine your thought pattern at the time. "How could I be so dumb, this Syfilis is destroying me!" Your throught would be, "All this technology, they have to find a...

Search Yelp! for a trust worthy ENT in D.C. Make sure you get an audiology exam that day to see if you have hearing loss. Do you fly on planes? Are you scared of flying? Heighted anxiety will get better. Ask for an injectionof predisone in the ear during your visit. Chances are you'll recover...

Good point, I agree.

Why don't they just take a real cochlea from a human donor and install that? They could give you a drug so that your body doesn't try and reject the organ.

Has anyones tinnitus ever temporarily disappeared? I know some people's tinnitus has vanished completely but those people are not likely to be hanging out on a forum like this anymore so I wanted to share my experiences of the three times mine has gone away> 1) I've had tinnitus since 2010...

It looks like the guy who developed this for tinnitus and brought it to the publics attention jumped ship. He hasn't posted anything about it on his blog in quite a while. I think he's designing video games now? Just Google Will Rossilini. (He's got like six college degrees and used to play...

What happens when the battery goes dead? Does it set off detectors at airports? If it doesnt work can they remove it? It seems somewhat invasive to me.

I can make my left ear spasm when I play a d#note on my guitar. Not joking, just that note does it.

Hi everyone I've had tinnitus for over 4 years now which I believe was caused by loud noise exspoure and/or possibly an antibiotic. Around the same time I aquired tinnitus I also began having crackeling mucus sounds in my ear when I swallow. I recently stumbled upon an article where someone with...

I've met people who think Jesus smoked herb and God put weed on this Earth for our pleasure of consumption but I don't know man. Just because it grows naturally and is old doesn't mean anything. Native Indians in Peru used to chew coca leaves for their energy inducing magical powers and the...

You're absolutely right, I never thought about it but all the drugs I listed can definitely build a tolerance and lose their efficiency after a while. I hope the tinnitus drugs dont do that!

I've taken three psychoactive drugs in the past and all of them have had instant positive results. (Adderall since I was a teen, Xanax for flying anxiety, and I was prescribed Vicodin in college after a car accident). In each case, there was never any doubt they were effective as they kicked in...

I knew this was a joke. People are so desperate they'll throw their cash at anything. A fool and his money are soon parted.

Your first move should be to change that crappy name "TinAway". Fire the person who thought of that. It reminds me of Quietus, Tinnitus Miracle, etc. You'll never be taken seriously. Although I don't believe it works, look at Neuromonics. That's a name that sounds scientific enough to fool...
