Interesting, thanks.

Paging Mr. Pete Townshend. Mr. Townshend to the white courtesy phone please.

I do hope this is the breakthrough it appears to be. There are a lot of good people out there with this terrible affliction.

Tinnitus is a known correspondent to schizophrenia. Look for the question on your favorite multi-phasic personality inventory.

Thanks for the post. I can certainly use and pass on the information to my audiologist.

Now if you will excuse me, I think I hear the phone ringing.

Seriously, tinnitus is a miserable disease to be inflicted with.

Word to the wise - turn down the volume and use ear protection around loud noises.

Why then when I had ring worm, did I have to rub Tinactin all over the spot? (I caught it from a stray cat I took in.) I have heard some people have to have their heads shaved when this happens so I bet they will love the computer solution. Isn't science great? parsy the erudite.

My Grandmother has this and it really does affect her quality of life. Any cure would be more than welcome.

OK, so they have a cure for the "rings"
Now, how about the voices?

I was in grade school before I found out everyone's ears don't ring. After a lifetime of annoyance, it would be so good to dispense of the malady.

Great post...I describe my ringing like a milliom crickets on a hot summer nite. I told my audiologist a couple of years ago that there had to be a remedy for this but he said live with it.

True story...I was so excited getting my hearing aid because I could now hear my barbers great jokes and I wouldn't have to "fake it anymore". So my first visit every thing was working great until I sat down and he said I would have to take my hearing aid out...

I, too, am a tinnitus sufferer. I've had it since I was a child. I wasn't aware there was any research being done. This is good news that people are working on the problem.

I don't hear it unless for some reason I am thinking about it, like now. Then I hear it. Just a very high pitched slowly wavering background noise. I also have high-frequency hearing loss. So it sounds like I'm the type. It doesn't drive me to distraction or anything, since I don't usually notice it. But if it is quiet and I am trying to listen for something, then I hear it, as it is unavoidable.

Thanks for posting this. If it works as presented in this article, this will be a major blessing for millions of people.

I have it off and on at various intervals in my life, also sometimes vertigo. I have found in my case chromium helps.

I've had tinnitus for about five years now. It is miserable and loud and getting louder. For me, it's a hi pitched buzz that continually changes volume and frequency. About every other month or so I get these weird clicking sounds on top of the ringing. The clicking only lasts for a few days at a time. I can ignore it most of the time except when the clicking starts. I'm a calm, low-key person. My wife is real hyper and little things bug her. I know if she had what I have, I'm sure she would be suicidal.

Sometimes in the fall we get a lot of crickets around are house and it drives her nuts when we go to bed. I can't even hear them because my tinnitis masks it.

This treatment is exciting. (BTW, I know it's been a while but it sure is good to have Rush back to normal.)

Old thread.

Has anyone checked into the claims made in the original post?

This is a high frequency BUMP!
