    Hearing Aids and Tinnitus

    Daisjc - if you just got T at the end of December your ears may recover normally without spending a ton of money on hearing aids. You have no hearing loss so within 3 months you may be totally fine.. I have had T for 1 1/2 years so I think mine is here to stay and i do not use white noise...

    Failing TRT ...

    My question is when should you do TRT? Does it make a different if you wait a couple of years to try to habituation or the early the better?

    Dr. Nagler and Financial Connections to TRT (Tinnitus Retraining Therapy)

    I can confirm that Dr. Naglar does not push TRT on any patient that does not need it.. I saw Dr. Naglar almost a year ago after a flight caused severe barotrauma in both ears and left me with tinnitus as an afterthought that never stopped. I was depressed.. It was the worse Christmas I ever had...

    Chickenpox and Tinnitus ...

    Jay, That is a great idea but that type of draft letter should go to the ATA to distribute. They will have a larger impact than this forum alone.. ATA should recruit a spokesperson such as a retired general with political contacts to lobby for additional funding for the cause. If the general...

    Hearing Aids

    So just to clarify.. For me I have hearing loss at high frequency as well. Of course the ringing in my ear I can hear perfectly fine so when the audiologist sends the tone it is the same as my ring. My ENT said that hearing aids will provide relief for the T since the aid will amplify only the...

    Low-Level Laser Therapy (LLLT) for Tinnitus — Experiences (Dr. Wilden, etc.)

    I cannot see how shining a red light that stops at your ear drum help... Someone bought it on Amazon and was not impressed. http://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B008PDCS36/?tag=tinntalk-21

    @Denny, thanks for the advice. I tend to agree. I am not on it constantly but probably should . Love to know what would work without Lisinopril..

    We Need More Research Into Potassium Channel Modulators

    No.. I said I do not personally believe in that statement from Dr. Naglar in context but I understand why he is saying this. I asked him that same question in person and he detailed his personal belief with the "I do not care" statement with an understanding of why. People can be obsessed with...

    We Need More Research Into Potassium Channel Modulators

    Same person.. yes.. I personally do not believe that statement or what context that statement is.. His personal believe in coping is TRT and "I don't care" method. It's more of trying to not to let the mind get in the way of your life and it works for him. Cure is a word with a lot of...

    We Need More Research Into Potassium Channel Modulators

    Totally understand what you are saying Jazz and your right, officers do not have large salaries but the monies are suppose to go to research grants.. It is kind of a catch-22. If you want to have an Executive Director with a lot of influence, connections with high profile sponsors and Congress...

    We Need More Research Into Potassium Channel Modulators

    I have been on non-profit boards in the past without any compensation outside of the occasional expense of face to face board meetings. Looking at ATA and their annual reports and audits I do not see anything wrong with what they are doing as a not for profit organization to support our mission...
