    Lenire — User Experiences and Reviews

    Dear Tinnitus Talk forum members, I am currently halfway through my treatment with the Lenire. I must say I had a very stressful and busy month with moving, travel, and work on a new television series, but my time with the Neuromod device has helped a lot. It’s hard to quantify — sometimes I...

    Liam Boehm — A Scammer or What?

    People - I paid $5000 to a TRT specialist in NY -- I was terrified when I first got tinnitus - I thought I couldn't do my job - I arranged with production to clear out an afternoon to see a TRT specialist - I was praying it would change my life. I won't say who it was - but she met me for ten...

    Liam Boehm — A Scammer or What?

    Hey forum friends. I met Liam Boehm here in Los Angeles and he was so kind. Like all of us, I’d love relief from this tinnitus. If fasting and cold water therapy helps, I’m down to try. Since I started a months ago, my tinnitus still fluctuates, but my health is so much better. I am no doctor...

    Update...

    it's now been just over a year since tinnitus struck, I was standing by the window of my apartment, wondering if the gathering storm was causing some barometric disturbance in my brain, when it came on, suddenly. I define my life pre and post tinnitus in essentially BC/AD terms. There's been an...

    Does Anyone Have Experience with General Hearing Aids/Tranquil & TRT?

    hey @Atlantis I have the general hearing sound generators (GHI) - I wear them day and night, but I can't tell if they are helping at this stage- my t really seems to have gone up a notch in general- more of a full brian swirling electrical sound- my TRT specialist said there is a chance it can...

    Does Anyone Have Experience with General Hearing Aids/Tranquil & TRT?

    hey @Sgguy46 I am a few days into it and trying to get used to wearing sound generators (that are like hearing aids)- don't know why, but I think that in general my stress about having t is high and so it is a burden- have to remind myself- even with TRT- it's about giving time, time and not...

    Does Anyone Have Experience with General Hearing Aids/Tranquil & TRT?

    thanks all for your replies- I am back in LA for the first time since I have T- hanging with my children for the first time since I have T and it is fascinating- they empathize as much as they can, but I can tell they are a bit tripped out by the place that T can take me

    Cautionary Tale

    Who knows what ultimately causes T, but before mine started, I visited a healer type guy who a friend wanted me to meet. He said my "head looked like it was sitting strangely" and did some pretty painful cranial sacral manipulations on my skull behind my right ear- The following week was a...

    Hi — I Am New to Tinnitus

    hi- all- thanks for the replies- it's so hard to know what started the t- I had been going through a lot of anxiety and had some real high blood pressure episodes. I was taking meds (which may have played a role) & also saw a "healer" and he did some sacral cranium work (that kind of hurt)...
