Tinnitus, Deafness and Ear Problems Support Group
This group is for those coping with Tinnitus (ringing ears or ear noise), hearing loss, and all ear issues. Join to find support and get advice from others.
Well, I have waited over a year to get in. I will start my treatments in two weeks.
5 days a week for almost 4 months. Each session around 40 minutes.
Tinnitus testing, MRI, and EEG, this week.
Two weeks of preparation, prior to starting.
My friend did this 3 months ago. Did not work for him. He had multiple
sounds (5) or so. I have one sound (could be the deal breaker).
I was kinda down on the whole idea a while back. But I feel after several consultations, it just might work. I will keep you up dated.
By the way, TMS which is insurable for other disorders, hopefully in
the next couple of years, might include tinnitus.
Thank God I live 7 miles away from the
doctors office, or I would never be able to take this much time off of
work.

Tell him not to bother because a real cure is in trials now by Autifony Therapeutics. Let him Google it.
rTMS has been researched for 20 years now by a person who head the TRI and his office informed me a week ago that success rates are very low-but it does work for a small minority of people and is not right to charge people $500/session to play Russian Roulette.
Dropping a small fortune just ain't right on something that probably won't work for you.
If anything, he should charge $50/session so EVERYBODY has a chance to try it and just maybe some of us would get lucky.
I know one thing for sure, the Dr., is not one to give up.
I will keep you updated, if anything new comes up with TMS.
