    Tinnitus Research Taking Place in Dallas

    Tinnitus is weird Jeannie ! I also find that a glass or two of wine knocks my tinnitus out completely for a while and yet some people say alcohol makes their T worse.

    Otonomy Starting Phase 1 Trial in 2015 for Tinnitus

    Otonomy Starting Phase 1 Trial in 2015 for Tinnitus

    That is what the clinical trials are for. And all pharmacuetical companies are 'sales companies'. The largest employee sector of most pharma companies is their sales force.

    Otonomy Starting Phase 1 Trial in 2015 for Tinnitus

    The good news for us is that when a drug is developed and proves efficacious, even in a specific cohort of patients, other pharma companies then try to 'better' that drug in order to grab the business. So they will look to improve efficacy and/or tolerability and/or a target a larger cohort of...

Please try to get on with your lives as best as you can - don't stop doing anything because of your T but protect your ears in loud places.
