If you are not familiar with Sam Harris this audio would be a good intro. He is a neuroscientist, philosopher, author, atheist, and fellow tinnitus sufferer with a great sense of humor. Check him out...

I've been using ASMR for a while now, maybe a year or so. It really is a great way to induce relaxation and sleep. There are so many genres. You really have to spend some time looking around for the ones that work for you. Whispering with tapping and other odd sounds work for me. I have been...

Hi friends, I haven’t checked in here for quite a while so I thought I’d give a quick update with a little explanation for my absence and possibly a little positive feedback . As you all are painfully aware Tinnitus provides us all with quite a range of distressing experiences to say the least...

Thanks for everything you have done @Markku. You are my friend for life. Being part of this forum has been a rewarding experience for me. I've met lots a great people and learned lots along the way. Here's what happened recently in a nutshell. I've been a sailor for years. Turns out it's a...

If you look hard enough you will find someone who thinks there is a link between just about every food and drink there is. Don't look too hard. Just be aware of what you eat and drink and if there is an affect on you or not. If you cut out everything that could possibly have an effect or...

I just finished this book. If you are interested in mercury, I recommend it. Diagnosis: Mercury: Money, Politics, and Poison Dr. Jane M. Hightower M.D.

Amsolutely not!:)

I hate to say this, because I would never wish this on anyone, but what we really need is for one of these high level researchers to get a bad case of T. Maybe that would provide some motivation.:eek: Did I say that... That raises an interesting question. Do any tinnitus researchers actually...

Congrats Karen!:cool:

I remember back in the day smoking and then falling asleep. I gave it try recently in the hopes maybe it would help the T and possibly that it would at least help me sleep if nothing else. The first time I smoked way too much. This is not your dad's weed.:confused: I tried it again, smoking just...
