    What Was the Last Movie You Watched? What Did You Think about It?

    The Last Samurai Some cliche moments, but the acting and overall direction make it one of the better 'guy goes in to fight a battle, then realizes the other side has it right' stories I've seen.

    Hello all!

    Clubbing was the biggest reason... but I had my ears lanced on a few occasions and lots of ear infections as a kid, maybe they played a part in making me more susceptible to tinnitus..? LOUD LOUD music and gigs I blame most, all my own fault aof course. :mad:

    Glad I found you!

    Could it be a long lasting spasm or ? Some muscle/bone issue? Wouldn't your experience indicate that your tinnitus might disappear for good? Be hopeful! and welcome.

    Hi All

    Nice to meet you Greg..! "done every Vitamin known to man for it".. join the club! Ginkgo, Zinc, nothing worked for me (I tried them about a decade ago). When you need to relax or do tasks without tinnitus interrupting so much, have you tried masking tracks? I downloaded this...

    Hello all!

    For the longest time I asked myself "why me", it was tough to accept that I'm not getting rid of the constant swishing and intermittent ringing. Years later I've come to accept it but it still bothers me especially under situations I need to perform tasks that require max concentration. Maz...

    Relaxation and Concentration Tips for High-Stress Situations?

    Two weeks from now I'll be taking a test (related to my job) and it's a requirement to pass it. I need to be able to concentrate for several hours and I know from the past that stressful situations make my tinnitus BAD. I'm going to ask the persons in charge of overseeing the test if I could...

    Can't Tell One Way or Another

    Clarissa, have you been to an ENT who has a special interest in tinnitus? Could it maybe be Ménière's disease? All the best, Jonathan

    Jonathan here (tinnitus for many years)

    I've been battling tinnitus since '93! It started only in my right ear: a loud, swishing noise. It keeps time with my heartbeat, and under stress it's noticeably louder. I'm used to it so I hardly hear it under many circumstances, but just now I'm having a bad time. I've had ringing in both ears...

    What Was the Last Movie You Watched? What Did You Think about It?

    Wild Target a week ago. Lovely chemistry of romance between Nighy and Blunt and you really care about the characters and that is what makes this movie so special. It's also surprisingly touching as the transition from romance to drama to comedy is handled seamlessly blending lovely...
