    Grimes — Musician With Tinnitus Producing Great Music

    I believe that there are far more musicians with tinnitus then we know. I just don't think everyone are open about it, that's why I love people like Grimes because they give hope to all sufferers. I often think about the bands that I grew up with (for example all the rock bands of the 80's)...

    My Girlfriend Said "It's Not Cancer, You're Acting Like a Child" and Broke Up with Me

    Really sorry to hear. I've met people who have been totally ignorant on the issues of T. I would talk to them about living with tinnitus and they smile and nod and seem interested, I even offered them earplugs to wear when clubbing etc... Never once have I seen these people protecting their...

    Pu-Erh Tea and GABA

    If you find it helpful please let us know :) Thought I'd look for it at my local coffe/tea shop. I like that it's suppose to calm the central nervous system, but that's maybe true for many kinds of tea? I'm not really a tea expert :)

    Otonomy Starting Phase 1 Trial in 2015 for Tinnitus

    I agree that the tinnitus research will target both acute and chronic. Think of the number of war veterans that returns home witch chronic tinnitus... Also the number of people affected by tinnitus increases every day, so good treatments (or even a cure) will come.

    Levetiracetam (Keppra) Worked for My Hyperacusis

    I think he is absolutely right to consider possible side-effects before taking drugs. It's a good thing that Trobalt (or even Trobalt/Keppra) is working for you and others who tried it. But there are people who's had nasty side-effects. It's up to each and one of us, should we take it or not...

    Autifony Therapeutics Phase II Study for AUT00063, for the Treatment of Hearing Loss and Tinnitus

    Perhaps the solution is, not only one, but two or more methods... Maybe a pill or ear injection in combination with Vagus Nerve Stimulation or TRT or something else. Where the first is used to cure or heal the cochlea and the other to reprogram the brain.
