crikey....things never change. I'm sorry I read the preceding note from the troll in Switzerland (or so he/she/it claims). I can remember the unusually harsh naysayers 15 years ago...they just never change. They either pick a preferred course of action (or work for a competing course of...

And I hate throwing that item down on the table. 15 years is a long time of no-cure....but 15 years is also a long time for science to adopt the obvious ills, woes and huge population of tinnitus patients. I suppose that the numbers of legit developers is huge today by comparison to the few...

I think some docs have poor manners in the regards of tinnitus. I know my guy near me gave me the magic...."you'll learn to deal with it..." early on when I went in. I was mightily ticked off....I wanted him to fix the problem. However, I was probably the 2nd or 3rd Tinnitus patient for the...

@vasil You've had Tinnitus since July.....think it through very carefully, especially the part about Not Losing the Tinnitus Sound even when completely and irreversibly deaf. Don't rush anything when you're upset about this relatively new affliction that hit you. It's also possible that your...

When you guys have that magic pill. let the rest of us know. Folks...it is what has worked for me; most likely a zillion other folks that have moved on and away from a group because they no longer find the group necessary. I chime in occasionally just because it's still a affliction that the...

Thanks guys and gals....I hate to come here sometimes and see the suffering that comes apparent. I get truly irritated to see some of the "cures" that have too many of our good friends in their cross hairs. I've been clobbered by those less than altruistic types and had thought I was beyond...

Well..."Success" is just a getcha here word; a tickler....a smoke & mirror thing. However, I am 15 years into Tinnitus and it's incumbent upon us old timers to resurface every so often and try to assist someone that is riding the sine wave....the peaks and the valleys. History wise, I used to...

I got a note from Eimear today...which prompted me to come over to T-Talk to catch up on all of the positive results from the test & control group study from last year. Conspicuous by its absence is anything under the search for Eimear O'Caroll that says anything at all. I'll search further...

Good for you Neenie. You're a tough gal and Tinnitus is just another one of those speed bumps to negotiate. Hopefully....one day....the speed bumps are "cured" but the time being, this is a good approach and good attitude. Proud of ya gal!! Dan Turner Conyers, Ga

Hi Neenie....we meet again in Support.<G You're on quite a few scripts for a relatively short time (Sept.13). You might do well talking to the doc that wrote the prescription(s) to help you wean off of those meds that may be a problem stopping suddenly. Like "Columbo"...I've taken...

B-3 with an attitude got me.....either that or a bank of Peaveys at shoulder height and a really, really good harp player that was wailing away. One or the other or both....I was standing in the "kill zone" and came out of that session with the usual head full of cotton that would always go...

You'll be hokay....the first weeks on up are touchy. Your mind will accept the tinnitus as part of the overall landscape in whatever length of time it takes to do so. Little peaks and valleys of cognition that get further and further apart until you level out and although the T-noise will...

Cher 69 and others are right on target....just get away from everything that you can read now (most of it pretty much never changes tune) and sit back and think about everything that you have read; all the suggestions and support that you did get some weeks ago....but try not to get wrapped up...

Youse guys.<G I think the cure will happen at a faster pace than say 15-20 years ago. It's a prevalent disability to the military in the US...they have just enough money (hopefully) to help resolve problems like this. When that does happen....I'm good for standing someplace at a specific time...

To be equitable.....here is the link to the Shea Clinic: http://www.sheaclinic.com/ It is a one call/does all center that I have no doubt has a seating room capacity of 100. I have to point out that with the very minimal information that Shea relates on their site to services rendered for...

I did locate the MD's name via the ATA chapter in Atlanta....Stephen Nagler, MD. We had opportunities to discuss Tinnitus via the SIG of that era. The horror tales that he told at the time of his Lidocaine treatment always stuck with me....a) a medical professional nearing the end of his rope...

I do not know the success of the Lidocaine & Dexamethasone perfusion.....or the lack of success thereof. There is a surgeon in Atlanta that underwent a Lidocaine style treatment when I first noticed my T and was searching for answers. He was a very good source of what not to do and his opinion...

Sorry for the delay in my response...but everyone with T should close the books; turn off the blogs; etc. and try to find what works for them. It was by circumstance from years earlier that I found river water noise as a great "equalizer" as you can't control it....you simply want to be...

I meant what I said...I think I mistook your date in your profile...July 2012 as being past the initial stages and working on "maintenance" issues.

Per is absolutely right on the money. Since none of us wear bloodied bandages around our head...friends & family forget in a relatively short time. ATA may have some printable items online to get friends and family started. There are some non-snakeoil YouTube vids (William Shatner is featured...

I found a Young Entrepreneur video of the principal partner for R/H.....I didn't detect a lot of science in her comments for such a simplistic procedure; the video seemed more intent to bleat success as a young entrepreneur....which seems to be the biggest response to a search engine of her...

Hi Lind...another musician here on keyboards. I never gave much thought to setting up in front of a wall of mains or amp on tripods at about ear level until....one harmonica player one evening just couldn't help himself but run up to the highs on his harp with one channel right in my affected...

There may be some no ise abatement (noise camouflage) to consider....for me, it's a rock within a few feet of a mountain river in North Georgia. When I sit down on that rock....the constant sound of the river that close and that loud overwhelms my tinnitus noise so I can just enjoy the sound...

the old question...."I've got tinnitus that started this week...do you think it will get better?" the stock answer for many of us that work the Tinnitus rooms is: "you're kinda new with this so if it's not tinnitus...it will get better. If it is tinnitus...YOU will get better." In short...

I had checked into the procedure 10 years ago from an advertisement that sounded convincing. However, the proposal that came back was almost $42,000 - multiple treatments per week for a couple of months. A Warrant Officer for the National Guard is a good friend and he took the opportunity to...

Look up Hearos Hi Fidelity ear plugs for musicians. Most of the guys & gals in the orchestra that get blasted by musicians seated behind them keep them plugged in. They hear it all, but the plugs damp out the impact type of noise and ultra blasts from horns, etc.

Neenie....in my way toooo long experience with my Tinnitus, despair is just part of the early days of recognizing a potential problem that has come apparent to you. You might feel that there is only one way out....but look at all the other members here and some of the other old timers that have...

I used Nortriptyline from the 1st to 8th year.....I probably could have discontinued after the first couple of years, but the sleep was very welcome and no matter the length of time...the next morning was like a full 8 hours. Nortriptyline is an anti-depressant that was the drug of choice for...

I'm just very happy to lend a hand again. I used to moderate a few forums some time ago when I was involved early, but have to give it up every so often. One starts to focus on the very thing we're trying to ignore because you do get wrapped up with good people in crisis. I'm hoping for the...

Carol is right. There are a lot of success stories out there...including all the celebrity names that I'm sure you've all already located in your search engine quests. Sooner or later in the early stages there's a search for parallels to see what others with similar, worse or incredibly...

That's one thing I'll never get past....you go into the docs office with a complaint of Tinnitus. They know they're stumped for the answer yet with the exception of making life comfortable and tolerable during a phase of problem....so they prescribe a dosage of medication that has "may cause...

That's great!! As memory serves, I recall just getting over amped on the occasion....just worked my brain about everything going wrong...or right. I was also having a lot of trouble sleeping at night...for all the obvious reasons....wake up, hear noise, start thinking all the worse case...

stOrch.... I think most everyone you meet here has had the scenario you've described. Especially in the early weeks after it's apparent that there's a possibility of a problem that you didn't expect..nor want. Everyone here has the greatest sympathy mixed with empathy....but, the key phrase in...

You don't have to get into the details about your life; one thing at a time is the way to unkink this tough knot. I'm Dan...I've had Tinnitus for 13+ years. I've been at that place before....you have to trust that many others have been through this process. However, that process of anxiety and...

One day....some easy fix will appear....just not today.<G The politicians need to work with the scientists to come up with the cause....environmental, mechanical, pharmaceutical, etc., and out law it before the populations are over run with tinnitus sufferers. Actually overrun with treatments...

Keep a positive outlook. Ear infections can be a tough thing to accomplish for a complete cure. For instance, I had an occasion to develop from otitis media.....a condition known as "glue ear." The eardrum was intubated to relieve pressure as well as to allow the discharge out....and air in...

Hi Epin.... I'm trying to imagine how I'd feel going into Tinnitus in a foreign city....to stay. I think you're on the right track to head home to be tested for what brought on the Tinnitus or whatever cognitive therapy or other counseling that may come necessary in the near future. I met a...

Hi Sven....I'm about a year behind you in the peaceably-noisy world of Tinnitus. At times I guesstimate that the T noise for me is about 60% of the ambient room noise which gets annoying when in conversation...but especially playing with other musicians. I play jazz piano in duo to 20 piece...

I think everyone that has taken on Tinnitus has had a pretty rough first year....not to mention the first few months. The suggestions to try the CBT or to sit in with a support live room group in your area or take your concerns and feelings to a psychologist are good suggestions by other...

Hi Neenie...I'm 13 years in now (I think). My noise (a dentist drill) has not gotten better...it has changed a bit over time and there are occasionally less noisy days than others. I think my answer to you will be that "the noise may not get better...you on the other hand will get better." It...

I don't mind being wrong...been there many times.<G I wish you the best of luck and look forward to hearing good news about the treatment. We appear to both have about the length of time involved from onset, so I feel certain you're attuned to all things that may change anything in audio level...

congratulations and commiserations on your 1st year anniversary. That brush of reality about tinnitus after realizing it's a possibility of being there for a very long time...well, as Bette Davis said..."it's not for sissies." Keep up the good work and good mindset. I've made it through 12...

I'm not sold on Restored Hearing for a number of reasons. There is a simplistic...almost too easy..."cure" that a young lass has developed; but in watching or listening to her communicate her thoughts...it's not what I would call the language of Science. It is however, a plug for youthful...
