In Reply to: Has anyone tried, with success or failure, treatment(s) for tinitus? posted by Bosh on January 27, 2004 at 21:32:46:
.... so far no difference. I seem to recall someone saying it needs 3 months treatment so I'll pesevere. It has only been with me about 15 months. I'm now 68.My research suggests that the causes for it are varied and "cures" generally ineffective. Little is known about it because research is virtually impossible and could endanger the delicate hearing mechanism. The term "tinnitis" can describe a ringing condition but the cause (or possible cure) can be vastly different in different people so what works for one, might not for another.
Most sufferers just shrug and advise to avoid concentrating on it. Not sure I like that advice but there seems little alternative.
It ain't nice but there are far worse afflictions one can suffer and it is not life threatening, just quality of life threatening. Not fun but life goes on.
