    N-Acetylcysteine (NAC)

    NAC is only a protective measure against noise induced danger so ear plugs may be a better choice without the side effects. Also what is the FDA opinion on NAC ?

    Clinically Relevant Bothersome Tinnitus

    Predisposed to clinical depression and anxiety plays a major role. 50 million Americans ? Where are they ? Not here ? Why ? Because they are going on with their lives not giving shit about T.

    Lithium and Suicide Prevention

    Very interesting article but the problem with lithium is it's a sodium chemical and that would drive someone's Tinnitus through the roof as most doctors recommend low sodium diet for T sufferers.

    On Retigabine ...

    My ENT told me those looking for a cure never get better. Just live with it and you will be fine. 2nd ENT told me to take Lipoflavonoid . I give up ENT are only concerned about surgery on deviated septum or cosmetic nose jobs. They have no clue about the brain or nervous system.

    Is There a Chance My Tinnitus Will Go Away?

Confused all these people that say they are cured like Shatner , for how did he go from suicidal to being cured by using a White noise...
