    I Feel Like We've Lost Momentum

    2017 was the year we had more new drugs processed than any other year, but absolutely none relative to tinnitus. The last time I felt truly hopeful was when Dr. Thanos at UPitt announced their partnership with Allergan, but there's been literally nothing coming out of that so far. Not even a...

    Give Me Some Hope

    Have my 10-year anniversary coming up soon. It's been a passenger in my life for the best years of my life. Someone tell me there is SOMETHING on the way.

    USC Stem Cell Scientists Developing a New Cure-All for Baldness

    Male-pattern baldness affects a lot more people. Makes sense from an economic perspective, but I agree: it's frustrating.

    Should I Cancel My Trip Abroad?

    I just went to Greece and flew a combined total of probably 30+ hours on planes. Your ears will be fine. It will be a welcome break from the noise, as the pressurized cabin will create ambience for you.

    A Positive Thought or Two

    I just wanted to say: We're all here. Some of us comment more than others, and some of us are lurkers (like myself, usually.) But here's the thing: I'm optimistic a cure will occur at some point in our lives. The market's huge for the person or persons who figures this thing out - as well as...

    Self-Inflicted Barotrauma

    Hey everyone, This is probably a really bad idea, but I've noticed when I cup/slap my left ear (the one that developed tinnitus recently) it makes my T disappear for about ten minutes, but then it comes back. I tried it with the ear that's had T for a decade, and all it did was make my ear...

    Tinnitus Has Gotten Worse, Need Advice

    This is probably really unhealthy but I found when I slap that ear it makes my tinnitus go away for like 10 minutes. No effect on the other ear.

    Tinnitus Has Gotten Worse, Need Advice

    Hey everyone, Tinnitus has been in my right ear for almost a decade. I've habituated to that, apart from a slight worsening after antibiotics last year. But for some reason it's now entered my left ear. And it's slowly getting worse. What can I do stop it? I am fearful. Is it diet? I don't go...
