I'm still here. I think most are having more good days than bad, isn't that wonderful? I'm still struggling but it's good, albeit lonely, to see the board so inactive as I'm taking it to mean most are out there living their lives and tinnitus doesn't have that grip on them.

I'm here and always looking for something that will make
this horror better. Sue and shoot me have you tried Soundcure?
it helped me for a long time. It doesn't work nearly as well as
it used to but with lorazepam I have recently notice a little relief.
I am disabled. Can't work or do anything productive.

If you have a pure tone Soundcure might work.

Hi, I don't know where everyone else is but this is the middle of summer and most people take summer holidays. Being around the computer and email is not as easy as being home. September and everyone gets back to a routine I think..

(T speaking) A bad day is a good day waiting to happen. Why do I under-appreciate a good day because I stuck out three times in the slow pitch soft ball game! Got to go...teas always ready...took me many a moons to learn "so the xxxx what" Life is good!

forgot to elaborate...Life is good co existing with life in the key of T (imagine being Stevie Wonder)...so i visit here less and less and seldom...is that wrong?

(for those who think I may be trivializing, my t is louder than ocean waves and ambulances)

Tinnitus is a minor issue for me and I once composed a "goodbye letter" on my sons 10th birthday. He's 17 now.

I am here Sue. I read this site every night. If I feel I can add, I do. If not I know one of us will come on with just the right thing to say.

I have t mostly every day. I have good days and bad, and those nasty spikes, which I have now. Mostly I keep busy, and just seem to have gotten used to it. Today not so much, so I am hoping tomorrow will be better. :)

Te be honest with you, there isn't allot going on in new progress with Tinnitus.

It is a wait and see situation right now.

too many tinnitus places to stay active on all of em

i read ds but im usually on http://www.tinnitustalk.com i like it it is more active

A while back there was all kinds of new research starting, new products, and experimental meds. There was a lot to talk about.

HI - I check in once and a while - i hope all are doing ok!

HI, Im still challenged. Coping. Now i also have eye floaters that started.....oh thats another web site, but i'll just stick to this one.

I am participating in a Cleveland Clinic Tinnitus therapy. I am using a mp3 like device with blue tooth (cordless) ear inserts, very discreet, much like the new hearing aids. Its pretty easy to use and becomes second nature. The sounds I listen to are nature in essence. I am to use the device for minimum two hours a day for six months with regular clinical evaluations.

I feel after eight weeks that the ugly Tinnitus i have has toned down a bit most of the time. I am hard to impress especially since I have already tried Sound Cure with no luck and since this device seems to emulate the plain old mp3 player i use to mask this tinnitus albeit with chords going to the ears.

However, i feel there is more to this device as strangly i notice my mind is off the Tinnitus more often. Partly because i believe the tone is lower and more consistent in being of the same sound as opposed to constantly varying. I also don't seem bothered by it when i do notice it in quiet settings.

I think this study may be of great benefit if it continues to impress me. Again, it is becuase i am a critic of these devices and don't believe in them. This time may be different. I will keep the community abreast of my developments. Please don't hesitate to inquire.

I would like to share my experience with all of our sufferers.

Thanks for keeping us posted. I also got a letter from the Cleveland Clinic awhile back asking if I would like to be in some study, must be the one you are doing, I called but they never got back to me. Is your tinnitus in the upper frequencies, like 12HKZ-14KHZ?
Thanks,
Sue

I'm still here too. Although I have been diagnosed with an inner ear condition (which turned out to be the cause of the ringing) the tinnitus still drives me bonkers most days. I have learned to ignore it more often, but it still bothers me.

I am still here but don't check in as often as I'd like. I get caught up in work and a Facebook forum for Spina Bifida I'm a part of. Trying to help the mommies of kiddos with SB. :) But I'm still here now and then. I'm friends with some of you on Facebook, which is nice, too.

I was wondering that myself as I have been watching only 1 or 2 posts each day. Hope no one gives up! Have recurrent tinnitus and insomnia .
