Even if I continued to act as an active individual, this has caused me a lot of discomfort during the years. The biggest discomfort comes from the current hopelessness for a cure. Hearing aids do not really help considering also all the negative effects. I tried but ...

Dear Mr. Chinnis, I read some of your messages and I am impressed by your strength to overcome your tinnitus
