Dgn, did you start the TMS yet?

I wish Sue. The doctor kinda threw me under the bus for now. I was suppose to start this month, but I was put on the back burner. Discount patients like myself , are not high priority patients.

Anyway, I am a little down right now, because I was really looking forward towards starting my therapy.

Anyway, I am going to keep pluging away by looking at different options. If and when I get the call for TMS, I will decide what to do at that point.

I'm sorry Danny. I understand your disappointment. I thought I was going to be in a TMS study here but the last question, after going thru the hearing test and numerous qualifications, ruled me out.

did non-hearing issues ruled you out? (just to be sure)

Thanks Sue. It is all about who has the most money.

I am seriously looking into driving to Amarillo Texas for two weeks, to see if Dr. Dalton could work with me on this program.

What is dichonics exactly?

dichonics.com

sounds very promising, but will it pan out? Another article that I came across today that gives you hope and have never read from 2010.
http://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2010/06/100623123338.htm

Dichonics.com = a terriblely made website (they should try to look more professional) and not very informative. I still don't quite get what it is other than noise cancellation of some sort with TRT added in "for maintenance" if dichonics alone doesn't work for you.

Not sure the exact approach. But it does send a certain signal to the brain, that deals with residual inhibition.

They are a very sloppy the way they are handling their customers, No call backs, no follow through.

It is very frustrating at this point.

Yes it is.

"Science News... from universities, journals, and other research organizations Save Email Print Share Imaging Reveals How Brain Fails to Tune out Phantom Sounds of Tinnitus
June 23, 2010 About 40 million people in the U.S. today suffer from tinnitus, an irritating and sometimes debilitating auditory disorder in which a person "hears" sounds, such as ringing, that don't actually exist. There isn't a cure for what has long been a mysterious ailment, but new research suggests there may, someday, be a way to alleviate the sensation of this sound, says a neuroscientist from Georgetown University Medical Center (GUMC).

71In a Perspective piece in the June 24 issue of Neuron, Josef P. Rauschecker, PhD, says that tinnitus should be thought of as a disorder akin to the "phantom pain" felt in an amputated limb.

Tinnitus starts with damage to hair cells in the cochlea of the inner ear. This damage forces neurons in the brain's auditory areas, which normally receive input from that part of the cochlea, to become overactive to fill in the missing sound, he says. That extra, unreal noise is normally inhibited -- or tuned out -- by a corrective feedback loop from the brain's limbic system to the thalamus, where all sensory information is regulated, before it reaches the cerebral cortex, where a person becomes conscious of the senses. But that doesn't happen in tinnitus patients due to compromised brain structures in the limbic system.

"Neurons, trying to compensate for loss of an external signal, fire to produce sound that doesn't exist in tinnitus patients, just like neurons send pain signals to someone who has lost a limb," Rauschecker says. "What both people have in common is that they have lost the feedback loops that stop these signals from reaching consciousness."

Rauschecker says this conclusion, from his research and from other leaders in the field, provides the first testable model of human tinnitus that could provide some new avenues for therapy. "If we can find a way to turn that feedback system back on to eliminate phantom sound, it might be possible one day to take a pill and make tinnitus go away," he says."

Okay...We'll have to wait and see. Like we have a choice lol

Thanks for sharing. This makes sense to me. Hopefully something will come about in my lifetime. I'd like to think I can experience peace and quiet again without being dead.
