    Someone may be interested in this. The site has cool pictures! There is an instant free trial!

    This immediately solves this problem of temporary tinnitus and helps the individual restore their normal hearing that they had prior to the sound trauma. Because the temporary tinnitus is eliminated or severely reduced, the stress of the situation diminishes, the residual headache associated with the ringing decreases and the ability to concentrate, relax or sleep increases. All of this is achieved within the time it takes for sound to move through the cochlear hairs. That is why our therapy lasts only one minute and is completely safe. It addresses the root of the problem in the same way as the original problem was caused. It also uses sound to manipulate the hairs and since the hairs were designed to respond to sound, they adjust themselves very quickly and without undue stress.
    Somtus™ is a scientifically tested and verified method used to reverse an over stimulation of the ear. It will not re-grow hairs that have been broken by excessive damage but it will gently move the bent and interfering hairs back into their natural position. Thus the temporary tinnitus is very short lived and the individual can go back to their original state of hearing and get on with their life.
    Because of its ease of access and fast results, it is an ideal method of removing temporary tinnitus caused by very loud sound and therefore it is highly suitable for use after concerts, listening to headphones too loudly or even being in a loud city environment for too long. The majority of our clients find it very useful before going to sleep or after arriving home. Although we strongly recommend limiting your exposure to loud noise so as to avoid broken hairs and permanent damage, this is a solution to one of the problems faced by millions every day.
    Available online at any time of the day or night, and also as an iPhone application for those out and about.

    Thanks for posting another advertisement.
    Edit for less abrasiveness: In my experience it would be nice if you would do a little research into some of this crap before you post.

    I guess we have a different perspective about advertisements.

    I found the pictures of the hairs in the ear that pick up sounds were excellent. Some tinnitus sufferrs have short term hearing irregularities caused by loud blasts of music or other sounds. The site offered some kind of relief. I am not judging the efficacy of the offering they are making. It is up to each individual to make that determination.

    When one has tinnitus, one can simply remain in a state of "victim".... waiting for some pill to fix them. Or another stance as I am finding is that one can try everything hoping that their particular tinnitus will get a match for the "I am trying everything" attitude.

    Or, one can scour the internet, get all the tests available, and purchase every new and old masking, diversion, retraining, etc method there is only to be let down over and over.

    Whatever method one employs to find relief or reduction for their particular tinnitus is up to the individual. We are given by our Creator the free will to do that. What you find "crap" or "snake oil" is your opinion. You then influence others who read what you write as the final judge and jury about what they should or shouldn't be looking into.

    So, Jim, is it that you just don't care for me? Do you find I am cluttering this forum with junk? Are you disturbed that I am not slumping into despair and only using the forum to complain about my situation?

    As the Community Manager I would think you would be a bit more compassionate and tolerant of those that are wanting to offer , research and even by golly make mistakes by offering or posting what you personally believe is a marketing ploy or ad.How about easing up and rephrasing your opinions in a kinder fashion. Perhaps saying that it is your experience that ..... (fill in the blank). Perhaps try to be a bit more sensitive to us newbies to tinnitus that have not had it for so long and are wanting to see others get relief even if it doesn't help us.

    As I can see, you have had tinnitus for 5 years or so while I have only had it for about 6 months. You have perhaps scoured the internet and selectively ruled out what you perceive to be junk treatments, while I and millions of others have not.
    I sense that your responses are leaning toward the abrasive with me and me only as far as I have been aware of. Is it that I am proactive about recovery or is it that you only find masking and drugs and surgery to be the only way to treat ALL tinnitus situations?
    This is what Markku wrote as an introduction to this forum:
    Our ultimate goal is to become an informative, friendly and supportive community site for all those who experience or have experienced tinnitus and would like to get or give tips and support in the form of an online community. Whether you are new to living with tinnitus, or you have had a longer history with it, TT is for you! Even if you no longer have tinnitus, but would like to help and give hope (for example, by writing a success story) to others, TT is for you too!



    I took Markku's words literally. I am being as supportive, friendly and informative as I can possibly be. In my search for research and treatments on the web, I simply post what may be hope for someone. Maybe some treatments are not for me or you, but yes, Molan is right... my heart is indeed in the right place. I am not as self serving as some can be about their 'issues". It is not always about me and I know that.

    If you are annoyed with what I post, can you please send me a private message that will explain the specifics of what it is you want or don't want me to post. That would be fair and less abrasive. By censoring me or making not so kind remarks, you may inhibit others to speak freely and or offer their "silly" or ridiculous remedies that have helped them.

    If this was the first comment that you made of this manner, I would ignore it, but unfortunately it is not.

    I see you like to sail... I used to as well. We have that in common! ;) Perhaps we have more in common (like tinnitus) than you realize. Oh, one more, we both live in California! we seem to be in the same age group as well. Let's be friends! Ok?

    Calin,
    I have a very low tolerance for unproven, fraudulent and otherwise sketchy products and treatments being marketed to people when they are desperate and and at their most vulnerable. I'm pretty sure you know this about me from some of our previous exchanges.

    You on the other hand seem to be willing to embrace just about any and all claims made for treatments and cures. Obviously we have a difference of opinion.

    You are welcome to make any comment you like. You do lots of posting along the same general theme. I usually do not comment. I made the comment publicly for a reason. There are members out there who appreciate my skeptical nature and comments that provide a little balance to your posts. Sorry if you were offended, I know your heart is in the right place.


    I have no intention of censoring you or anyone else. As far as I know the only thing that gets censored here is spam.
    Do you really want this to be a place where people feel comfortable offering up the "silly and ridiculous"? People self censor all the time, it's a good thing. I think at the least there needs to be some balance. That is what I was trying to provide in my comment.

    No, I don't not care for you very much...:) Edit: I hope you caught the double negative there, which means I do care for you very much, just saying.
    We have a difference of opinion. End of story.

    Now lets go sailing...

    P.S. I edited my original post for less abrasiveness, hope this makes you smile.

    I also think calin's heart is really in the right place.

    What can cause conflicts is the fact that calin doesn't really seem to have the same kind of a filter as some of us. Internet is full of different kinds of shams for all kinds of conditions and people like Jim and me are pretty critical when it comes to treatments of tinnitus. By critical I mean a way of scientific thinking, read up on here -A Primer on Scientific Testing & -How to Spot Pseudoscience

    A condition that is still in most cases considered incurable all the same time when there are millions of desperate people all over the world.

    That makes it a lucrative business opportunity for lots of people. Desperate people are willing to try out therapies and treatments even if the prospect looks bleak.

    So in a way if Tinnitus Talk is full of discussions about alternative therapies which more than likely might not work, we are providing a silent boost to these shams. When Jim, me or someone else comes along and notes that this looks like a scam, make sure you research it before buying into it, it isn't meant as a personal attack against calin but more as a differing viewpoint and caution.

    Example: I come around a new claim for the treatment of tinnitus. I go and research it using google, find what others think, check out pubmed, (upcoming) studies, etc. After that I'll form a sort of a conclusion of that treatment's/claim's viability and whether to post about it on here.

    calin, on the other hand, seems to be a lot more relaxed: UST, ozone therapies, rife digital's etc... None of those carry that scientific weight I personally deem necessary to have to even bother making a new post about something.

    There's no censorship or policing going on by the way, the only posts I have ever deleted have been 100% spams. Plus adding those few paragraphs at the beginning of the UST thread.

    Maybe this post of mine wasn't even necessary.

    I think that even with these different standpoints we can all come along fine and be friendly to one another. Each one can then make up their own minds about any individual discussion here, based on their own beliefs, standards & research.

    Fair and balanced Markku.

    I have repeatedly posted threads and replies that are scientific in nature and analysis. I appreciate both. Whatever does the trick!

    I know that the FDA is trying to stop over the counter supplements and that is not their job. It is our job to take responsibility for what we do and put into our bodies. No government or agency should be able to tell a person what they can do with their lives. As long as people do no harm too others, that should suffice. If a company is doing harm by false advertisement, then that is a case for the government to decide... in my opinion. People can report them and then a review should be done.

    The whole system of healthcare is controlled by the big boys making big money at the expense of people in ill health. Low cost treatments are being blocked by the big boys and that is a crime to humanity. Take a prescription and you then have to take more due to the side affects. It's a darn shame.


    Who would have thought years ago that we can turn on and off our genes by our own mental state and thoughts. Well, it's a fact. Research what I have and you would be amazed. your thoughts create things as well as your bodily conditions. Ask a biochemist.

    I'm done!

    Calin what do you mean you are done? Does this mean you are not coming back?

    Please say that's not true!!!!!!!!


    I have learnt so many interestng things from your posts and we can all make up our own minds surely when we see something?

    I agree with you 100% about the FDA. I'm 100% convinced that the medical community isn't really looking for a cure but rather an expensive symptom suppresor that lowers the noise but it will get louder as soon as you stop taking it. We have got to take responsibility for ourselves!

    Please don't go!

    You are so kind. No, I meant I was was done with my comments. And even if I am momentarily upset or when I am angry, it is short lived. I don't hold grudges.... No reason to. We are here to support each other. That is my only intent. I love happy endings and always have the best wishes for everyone's health. I sure wish I could find the answers and offer them to anyone wanting relief.

    We have seen so many good things that the FDA has suppressed us using. Albeit some things are just downright scams. We should however be able to have independent companies doing the testing. To get a drug or therapy approved costs millions of dollars and years of testing must be done. Meanwhile, even when that has been accomplished, people still die or have very bad reactions. They allowed aspartame through and look at the horrible side effects people get from that poison... it turns to formaldehyde! Good grief! Oh, and flouride! Geez! They do not have our best interests in mind - my opinion.

    Bless you Molan.

    Phew I thought for a second there you were going calin! Very glad to hear otherwise!

    Yes absoultely agree with you and the clinical trial process is a complete fraud. 100 million dollers to get something through to market? That means only the elite billionaire pharmaceuticals can afford that.

    There is this drug that costs pennys and has no side effects was shown to be a very effective treatment for cancer yet the big companies wouldn't touch it because they can't make any money from it. A disgrace to all of mankind!! Makes you wonder what else is out there for hearing loss and tinnitus that we don't know about. If anyone still believes these companies want effective cheap no side effect cancer treatments for the population then watch this 3 min news report below,
