Thanks for all the great information. I have read much of this information since giving myself noise induced tinnitus. I think my good progression after almost 120 days with tinnitus can be attributed to the the antioxidants and supplements I started to take within three days of onset. I started...

Cjohnso409, Like the other posts, we understand how aggravating and irritating your tinnitus is, and can be. The medical community is of very little help to sufferers of T. If you can tell us more about your T and what you are doing other than the clonazepam, we may be able to guide you to...

I found an interesting article associating tinnitus with Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD). Read the article at the following link: http://journals.lww.com/thehearingjournal/Fulltext/2013/01001/PTSD_plus_Tinnitus_Make_Everyday_Noise_Tough_to.3.aspx This seems to coincide with the recent...

Thank you! My Dad is quite the remarkable person. He still has all of his mental faculties, no arthritis, and about 90% of his own teeth. He still read two newspapers a day,, send a text better than I do, and beat most of his kids at reflex games on an IPad. I hope I do as well as him if I reach...

Interesting information, which I have read about similar therapies before. I too would be interested in content of therapy and costs. This sounds similar to binaural beats, which may be on the forums somewhere. This is a sound therapy that basically attempts to help regulate certain brainwaves...

Hey Eric, I am relatively new to T. I took small doses of Magnesium prior to T, and have increased by dosage since getting T. I take about 800 - 1,000 mg each day. I take a high absorption, chelated brand that I buy off the internet. I take 100 mg every three hours for fear of upsetting my...

Great article. There is a push on to find a fix for T because there is a large market and money to be made. Hopefully, the research will move forward quickly as the first company to find a successful cure will, in all probability, will make the most money. Let the race begin, and the winner be a...

I did find the website and read about the therapy. I did not purchase anything from the company. What I found most interesting was the research from the founder, Dr. Alfred Tomatis. You can read about him on the website. He believed that the middle ear could be exercised by listening to...

Thanks, I appreciate your input. I think I will have a great summer with my son!

My mother was a believer in Christian Science. One of the things she said often to her five kids, family, and friends, was to "live in the now". When I was younger, I never understood what she meant. As I have grown older, I have come to understand what she meant, and T has helped to reinforce...

My ninety year old Dad, who suffers from T and is about 70% deaf, and I have been discussing the medical advances taking place in the world around him. We have been reading about the printing of human body parts with the use of 3D printers. They recently printed the cartilage for the outside of...

Thanks for the additional information. I will research and see what I can find out. I wonder if anyone of the forums has ever taken any of these for their T? I wonder why a one physician would recommend the drugs, but none of the others seem to know anything about them? Ah, the medical world...

I found the following on WedMD related to cortisol at the following link: http://www.webmd.com/a-to-z-guides/cortisol-14668 The following is an interesting excerpt, which follows many T suffers description of their T patterns of loudness: "Normally, cortisol levels rise during the early...

HELP... Is there a Greek interpreter or molecular biologist in the house? Whew, will need a second read on this one! There was an article recently published from Swedish researchers indicating that stressed women were more sensitive to loud noise. Their research helps to support the...
