    I Will Never Complain Again

    I thought tinnitus was bad, well it is, but I now have started to pass kidney stones, with more in each kidney. The pain is worse than all my surgeries. Treatment, they are going to have to go up inside me to remove them. They are all to big to pass on their own. Now I don't even care or pay...

    Is Your ENT Right: Just Live With It

    Most days I can hear my T plain as day even while showering, so I am not talking about mild T. When T is high I have noticed that lately, when watching something on TV that is really interesting, I can go a whole hour without even noticing any T. Same thing happened today while I was doing some...

    Would Someone Explain to Me Why Not Having Your Country Seen Is a Big Deal

    I am just curious, we all share our feeling, fears, loves, personal stories etc etc, why do so many people leave out the country they are in. For me it is easier to answer a question, such as where did you buy this from, or who recommend your ENT, stuff like that. I Know that it is you're...

    Dr. Nagler, in all of the years of being in the tinnitus field, and the numerous conferences you have been to etc. Is there one theory that stands out among others regarding why T can be perceived as very low for 5-7 days, then high for 5-7 days, almost like a cycle.

    E-Cigs

    I have been using E-CIGS (electronic cigarettes) for at least three years now. I use the ones with nicotine, I am aware nicotine is not good for me, but I figure all the other chemicals & tar that are in cigarettes, E-CIGS are a better choice if I am still going to smoke. Of course E-CIGS are...

    I Respect Everyones Privacy.....

    This is by no means a requirement in any way, shape or form. For me personally I sometimes find it challenging to give advice when a person does not include what country he or she is from.
