Have been on this site for over 10 years. It gives out some pretty good information.

Thanks for the site. It would appear to have a forum format that will offer more features.

Here's another good site for those who don't know...

Just to name a few of the more interesting trials that are being completed this year.
They will either progress in investigation studies or not or with a bit of luck they will move into the therapuetic market.

Other than waiting a few more months there does not seem to be much in the way of study results being published as of now.

Let's keep the research going.

Another tinnitus site is the guy or gal who lives nine doors down from you (statistics provided by many a reliable source).

"Feel better because others are worse off" An antidote but not a cure..."I may be they're inspiration..."

Thanks, MTStringer--very helpful! I just wonder once any of these are found to work (or should i say "if"), how long it would take for FDA approval...if ever. : (

Thank you all for the great sites, we can always use more support.

And thank you minstringer1 for all the great information. Glad to see there is so much reseach going on.

God bless you all,
Sandy
