A letter to read from Stephen M. Nagler, MD entitled: “Letter to a Tinnitus Sufferer”. He explains to a fellow Tinnitus Sufferer (you), how it almost ruined his life and suggests how to forever “turn bad ear days into not-so-bad ear days." I thought the author not only gave a great suggestion but also gave us hope that there are better days ahead.

" This is just a comment I think the book Tinnitus: A Self-Management Guide for the Ringing in Your Ears, will be worth a try. I will see if I can get it now. "

" I got this book last year from Amazon in the USA and they shipped it to me. It was a used copy but in perfect condition. Cost was about $37.00 in total which to the UK was great.

It's recommended that you do the exercises in the book on a regular basis. It tells you everything in the book and the main objective (I think) was for you to challenge your thoughts etc. It's a bit CBT. I did enjoy reading it and found it of value but I must admit I was a bit lazy when it came to the exercises. If you can get this book for a reasonable amount of money I'd say go for it but I don't think I would have paid £75.00 which is what the UK Amazon was asking for.
Good luck.

" My ears are ringing....no, not from tinnitus (because my name was mentioned).

I paid fairly big $ for that book and frankly was a little disappointed. To be fair, you will get out of it only what you put in. So part of the blame probably lies with myself. "

" Thanks, Seattleite. And everyone in the US--don't forget to join the ATA and support its Walk for a Cure, May 16. You can be a virtual participant too. Here's the link:

Re Tinnitus: A Self-Management Guide for the Ringing in Your Ears--it is an excellent book. The $50 price is the ATA members discount.
I think somewhere in the ATA archives there's a study of the book showing its effectiveness in helping you cope with t. You do have to put the work into it, though, but it's worthwhile. "
