There is a lot of research being done on it so fingers crossed

Wow I wish I could look at it that way.

Its definatley worth seeing ENT, they may do an MRI scan , they did with me and it showed a benign tumour leaning on a nerve to the ear, although they do say that the tinnitus was probably due to playing in bands for years.

I have beenm told its genetic, that worries me that one of my kids will get it, lets all hope for a cure.

I found it helps me to get to sleep,but taking sleeping tab too, but dont find it does much during the day.

Then put your knowledge on here on how to get rid of it.

Panic attacks are stopping me doing the things I used to love.
