oops, just caught your post, Jobo. I understand completely. And definitely, I have faith in your role as someone just giving it a whirl and reporting the facts as they are. And thank you very much as without you we have absolutely no reference at this point. Your effort to share your findings is no small task and much appreciated. As long as you're noting improvement I'd keep at it.

(august 29) Any results news on the scenar front?

jobo, any chance you could update us on your progress? thanks.

I had heard back from Brad a little bit ago on an email I sent him about the scenar and he had somewhat positive things to say about it.

Jobo8080 thank you so much for your input on this. Please keep us up to date on your progress. We really do appreciate it!

Sounds like to me that it gets you to a point that MrT is reduced to a point that you can function without constantly thinking about it.

Looks like it's been a while since anyone has posted on the Scenar. I've had tinnitus for 30 years, permanent for 13, and now it's worse than ever. So I'm grasping at any straws.
The Scenar posts around the web are the only thing I've seen that gives me any hope and I want more info - model, what people like Jobo have done. But how is it now Jobo, if you're still on this site?

I've tried lots of herbs, use Klonopin when I must, have done 20 acupuncture sessions, and for the last 4 months it's been just terrible.
Any help is appreciated. Peace.

Please see the new thread I have posted tonight (Friday, August 27 at 7:42 p.m.) about the ANM Medical neurotransmitter therapy for tinnitus. It is different from scenar. It is currently available in Germany only, but is going to be rolled out in other Euro countries starting this fall and in early 2011. ANM has begun the process of getting approval in the US, but they don't expect to get approval for use of the therapy until near the end of 2011. The CEO of ANM (Dr. Claus Martini) replied to my email to say that the report from last year's clinical trials of the therapy should be available on their website soon (and the website will soon be translated into english) and that the reports from ENT's in Germany are that the therapy is working for their patients (again, all this is what Dr. Martini says - I have no independent confirmation for any of this). I know this is not an immediate treatment for tinnitus, but there may be some hope coming for us tinnitus sufferers soon.

This is about another treatment that I found very very effective. I had very severe tinnitus and this enabled me to get on with my life.
Please order the book (if you do not already have it) "Tortured By Sound" by Carol Lee Brook. You can get it from the American Tinnitus Association.com. It is so well worth reading and if you write to the doctor she talks about he will answer. Either that, or go on line and find out what Doctors are using the Dr.Pawel J. Jastreboff method.

I honestly did not know how I was going to stand living with the severity of my Tinnitus and Hyperacusis. This helped me live a normal life again. I was also prescribed .5 milligrams of Xanax which had a calming effect. Hope this helps. Hang in there. FranD P.S. Do get the book.

Can you elaborate on what's in this book?

Sadly there's so many that try to prey on tinnitus sufferers that I'm a bit skeptical.

HI!

I do not suffer from tinnitus but have many health problems. I purchased a SCENAR home device through my doctor and have no regrets. I use it for migraines and pain in the neck and shoulders among other things. It is a wonderful tool and it amazes me that it works. I have read that it can help with so many other things, tinnitus and hearing loss being part of the long list. It is even being studied and used as a CURE for scoliosis. I have tried many things that have proven to be useless but this is not one of them. Any pain I have it has helped. Some basic training is needed to figure it out though. But absolutely pursue it at a doctors office, if at all possible, for initial treatments then purchase it if you are benefiting.
