    Hi, I'm Jill from South Australia — Surgery Cured My Autophony, Tinnitus Followed

    After some years since my last post inquiring about Cold laser therapy, I am now convinced that it is a scam. The doctor whom I went to here in Adelaide, had his license suspended for two months and was fined 2 thousand dollars. I was taken for a ride! Please be aware.

    Me and Tinnitus

    I would like to know what foods bug you too? For me it is tomatoes, spices, green and red peppers and any kind of packaged deli meat. It makes for a pretty bland diet. Oh and salty food is a killer - I think I must have a healthy BP and kidneys!!

    Come to Australia...

    I don't know if it is an urban legend but the previous owners of our house, pictured left, said that they found a snake under the bed in the guest room! That was 14 years ago and we haven't seen one yet!

    Starting Some Volunteer Work

    Amelia - where are you in Oz? I'm in Adelaide SA. Maybe we could talk privately - Girl Talk about upbeat things and encourage ourselves to get on with volunteering?

    Starting Some Volunteer Work

    I know what you mean Amelia - I'm dipping my toe in the water of volunteering too. After retiring from nursing for 25 years, my T has become so much worse. Distraction will help I'm sure!

    What Hobbies Do You Have? (and Does Tinnitus Interfere?)

    My ENT specialist prescribed musician's hearing protectors to be used at movies or in loud environments. They have to be specially fitted and allow you to hear but take away unpleasant noise.

    SleepPhones

    My trusty old Conair has been going for quite few years now. I never sleep without it working softly. There are about 10 different nature sounds including white noise. The British Tinnitus Association has similar. Here is a site - I think it is way updated from mine...
