I don't need to do something about it anymore. When i need calm i can even put earmuffs. It is still very noisy but i care little. I sleep like a baby.

http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC4389054/#brb3331-bib-0027 Confirms the poor opinion i have of the loudness matchings used to attempt to measure tinnitus. Abstract Introduction A fundamental question in phantom perception is determining whether the brain creates a network that...

For those interested: http://journals.plos.org/plosone/article?id=10.1371/journal.pone.0123538 Abstract Background Peripheral auditory deafferentation and central compensation have been regarded as the main culprits of tinnitus generation. However, patient-to-patient discrepancy in the range...

Donated. Erm, whoever maintain the tags, this campaign is fundraising now...

People just wouldn't do it. I heard a story about a tinnitus conference where the participants were given headphones with a tinnitus sound playing. After five minutes everyone had taken off their headphones.

At the beginning, i downloaded nature noises i liked and played them before going to bed. It distracted me from the t. A sleeping ritual may help. I drank some lime blossom tea. The beginnings are the worst. Now, i don't need anything. No sleeping pills, no distracting noise.

Forgot to say tinnitus doesn't trouble me when i observe. :)

I am too an amateur astronomer. Living in a very light polluted country with a tight budget. I use a meade ETX-70 refractor. As weird as it sounds the targeting computer is useful. I could buy a better one but i have no car so why bother. :)

I used that same expressions "to be in the twilight zone". If you are wondering if you have tinnitus you are one of the lucky ones who have a mild case. Good. I like calm and quiet. I hate "meaningless and vulgar noises". My tinnitus was that bad that i was unable to finish one page of a comic...

Hi Dave, I guess the speaker got some thing a bit mixed up. There are talks to make a small (4000 men) NATO quick reaction force which could be ready in 24 hours. The actual quick reaction force is slower. But it is supposed to intervene in NATO territory only. Sending troops in Ukraine would...

Erm, Dave, do you have a source for that history of sending troops in Ukraine ? Part of the US and NATO is indeed stupid but not that stupid as to start the third worl war to defend the incompetent and corrupt leaders of a bankrupt state. Our diplomats are already tearing their hair out over...

Abstract There are pathophysiological, clinical, and treatment analogies between phantom limb pain and phantom sound (i.e., tinnitus). Phantom limb pain commonly is absent in dreams, and the question arises whether this is also the case for tinnitus. A questionnaire was given to 78 consecutive...

I sent you a PM :)

I am glad you found a way to shorten your commute. A duplex seems great. In my neck of the woods they cost thousands of euros per month to rent. I am surprised, i thought Boston was an expensive city. My city is so congested it is not uncommon to do two hours commutes in the traffic jams. I have...

All the desired information is on the website: http://www.menieresdiseasestudy.com/ Since I don't have Ménière's I haven't tested the questionnaire and I don't know if they take patients outside the U.S

Uh? I thought constantly monitoring one's tinnitus was a bad idea. The Tinnitus Research Initiative has released a smartphone app that is supposed to do just that. https://www.trackyourtinnitus.org/ The most useful part may be the statistics you must fill before downloading the app.

Me too i was completely changed by tinnitus. Not for the better. I stopped being interested in almost all i was doing. Plus my abilities such as concentration and sleep were destroyed. I thought i had become some sort of zombie retaining the memories of my ancient self but nothing more. Then...

Here in Belgium our prime minister has tinnitus and financing tinnitus research is not on the agenda.

Interesting. Thank you.

Isn't it starting a bit slowly ? For a long time !? Last year they got more than 40k. Thanks in part to a generous 10K donation from Steve Martin.

Well, many people give money to scammers, sometimes big amounts but the same people balk at the idea of giving to research and advocacy. That being said i waited several years and spent a fair amount of money in ineffective treatments before donating. About rich people who should fund...

I posted it in the other board so i might as well propose it to you too. This is a little web browser game where you try to put as many and as heavy celestial bodies around a star as possible. Without them crashing together or being ejected from a 2 astronomical units circle...

Hi Anke, I also had the "interference with studies" problem with my tinnitus. Mine was pretty catastrophic and i put my work on hold. Mine was due to a burn out so i had to stop for a while anyway. After a too long time spent literally banging my head on the walls i ended up being able to read...

This study shows they are still investigating tDCS. 175 subjects. No placebo control group. Assessment of sound level reduction and annoyance by the patient on a EVA. They think polarity and placement of electrodes gives specific results according to the laterality of the tinnitus: If your...

A few links to paywalled articles. http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/22392014 http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/20360161 http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/17956805

Bump ! The total amount hasn't changed since yesterday. :(

Donated ! :)

https://walk.ata.org/ Their annual goal is 60 000 $ This is not really charity, it is an investment in research and a demonstration of our interest in finding a cure. Important when you lobby politicians that you are able to put your money where you mouth is. These donations are strictly...

http://www.plosone.org/article/info%3Adoi%2F10.1371%2Fjournal.pone.0088253 Very interesting paper on the roles of attitudes facing tinnitus and the neurology behind it. Read the whole paper.

Mark, Jupiter is visible with the naked eye. It is the fourth most luminous object in the sky after the sun, the moon and venus. Visible in the gemini constellation. With any par of binoculars, if you prevent your hands from trembling too much (by blocking the binoculars with a furniture, the...

I like to read. Science and tech vulgarisation or books. I can now read in a quiet place. T used to make it impossible (i was despaired) but now it doesn't. I concentrate without trouble. Last evening i watched Jupiter from my balcony with a little refractor. Sky was hazy so i didn't see the...

In another account, the patient reported a temporary increase of tinnitus after his injection. The method of injection was different: anaesthesia, hole in the eardrum with a little scalpel, then injection.

I have just read in the news that two different families have filed a complaint in Belgium because according to them their euthanized relatives suffered from an untreated severe depression. Both euthanasias were supervised by the same physician. Being a psychotherapist means squat in the...

Read the books. I started during the second season to check something i was wondering while watching the show. The show follows rather closely the books. I am impatient to see the show. Before reading the book i was impatient to discover what was going to happen, after i am impatient to see how...

I think this is what the TRI is willing to do, standardize tinnitus treatment amongst clinicians: http://www.tinnitusresearch.org/en/consensus/consensus_en.php They are not describing what a clinician should be, rather what a team of clinicians should do.

Since you live not far from Antwerp, you could be interested in this clinic : http://www.brai2n.com/ They don't have the miracle cure but they are very up-to-date when it comes to tinnitus neuromodulation. It was founded by a world renowned tinnitus researcher. I have been there where they were...

Here is the booklet with amongst other things the abstracts of the presentations: http://www.tinnitusresearch.org/en/meetings/files2014/TRI_14_Handbook_EM.pdf Looks less "sciency" than usual.

The 8th conference finishes tomorrow. We can expect an abstractbook soon.

You can donate to the TRI: http://www.tinnitusresearch.org/en/foundation/donation_en.php The Tinnitus Research Initiative is an organisation dedicated to pioneering research in tinnitus. Exactly what we need. There is also the ATA: https://www.ata.org/involved/donate_secure.php The ATA invests...

I have better thing to do of my time than to go on an uphill battle to denounce all the very very dumb scams on the internet. Even those touching our tinnitus little world. The more experienced i get, the more i think people able to believe in the LLLT would fall for many other scams. And this...

Erm, i usually leave this section of the forum alone but... the title of this thread is Donkey milk (female). <_< >_> Why did you mention "female" ? What is then Donkey milk (male) ?

I don't like to advertise for clinics or give false hopes but it could be a job for the brai2n clinic in Belgium. http://www.brai2n.com/ You could email them and see how they react.

I have already posted this somewhere else but you may find it interesting. It is in French but google translate works well: http://www.france-acouphenes.org/forum1/viewtopic.php?t=10658&start=0 It is from someone who has tested the AM-101 in 2009 and got a partial relief. He said his tinnitus...

It does. It also settles down.

It's the parents pressuring the governments to ban wi-fi and not only in schools. The scientists and engineers stdying the influence of wi-fi recall that with old radios we were submitted to a way higher dosage of elecrtomagnetic waves. And since a long time ;) Screens can tire the eyes. The...

Ok, my two cents. 1) NO loud music in earbuds or earphones. Period. Only at moderate or soft volume. 2) Wear good earplugs. For the future, you could use special musicians earplugs which reduce the sound level without deforming the sound. Expensive but a good investment. Foam earplugs must be...

It doesn't detract me from wanting to emigrate to Australia. :) Won't be possible though.

There is some Indian religion which consider tinnitus as a message from god. Stupid religion ! I would tall that god to shut the hell up ! :p They call it bidiboo or something like that if my memory serves me well.

I don't know. It was hard for me to sleep because of a noisy neighbourhood. I found out i slept like a baby when i moved places three years after my t onset but i suspect i got my sleep back much sooner. I dropped sleeping pills at that moment.

I would add about klonipin that it is sold in liquid form. Drops are .1mg so you can tune your dosage much more finely. If you are afraid of being hooked. In France it is sold under the name rivotril. If they only sell tablets where you live you may have to ask for a pharmacist preparation.

Do you have sleep specialists in your area ? I mean physicians who specialise in sleep issues. They know what medications to give for a longer term use. Also, if you are fine with klonopin i do not see why you would not take it for a while before being able to sleep without meds. I have taken...

Must it be absolutely masking apps ? My favourite android apps are octave and maxima. Octave is a MATLAB clone: it allow you to do numerical computations and turns your phone in a free scientific calculator. Maxima does even better, it is a symbolic maths program. You can do differentiations...

I know you need to vent Per, but a suicide would be chalked off as a psychological problem and dismissed. Massive or not. Plus all the habituation ayatollahs insist on saying people who suicide because of tinnitus do suicide for other reasons instead. So do not expect any demonstrative effect...

The COST, an organisation of European countries + Turkey is supposed to coordinate and fund research in science, medecine and erm... other stuff. It has started a project about tinnitus. They speak about neurophysiology so it probably won't be about the usual counseling babble. Finally some...

Theorical physicist in some lab in a civilised country.

I see there is a confusion. The word "noise" is the "statistical" term. It is electrical noise, not mechanical.
