I sometimes wonder about this - with all this "buzz" about these new medications that should be coming out in the near future - do you think that they will only be able to knock out / reduce "standard ringing" as most people have, or do you think it might also be able to help out with other...

I'm just a little bit concerned that mine might be permanent now - for a long time in the past, it seems to have disappeared for a long time. But recently, it seems to be prevalent almost every day. Sometimes stable - sometimes oscillating. Question: Does your static tinnitus sound ever...

I'm trying to keep a daily journal, but I'm still not certain if it's formatted in a way that is going to help me figure out what it is. I have been getting the following sounds {a lot more recently}: Broken electrical wires {with overactive electricity} Static Oscillating / unstable hissing...

Has anyone else experienced this? I think that my "horrible swishing tinnitus" is exactly the same as it has been recently - "wish me luck and good hope that it changes back to my normal state, please". But after I pop a 30mg Adderall pill in the late morning, even though I still hear it and...

I have recently starting taking Adderall because I have an important series of exams coming up that I want to pass, and need to "crank out" and cram for it. I have had really terrible cicada tinnitus recently, which oscillates. I took 30mg of Adderall this morning, and I SWEAR that it has...

Does anyone else's tinnitus sound like this from the original Star Trek series? This is the only thing I can really compare it to right now, except that mine is much more high frequency.

Wow, according to the polls, most people do not get spikes during full moons. Mine is really flaring up today, and was last night as well - seriously loud sizzling / thousands of swarming insects. It may just be a coincidence, but when my father said, "hey look at the full moon tonight" and I...

tinnitus. one more day, here we go...

I hate to say this, but this doesn't sound like promising news at all. Can we start an e-mail campaign to see why he is dodging the bullet on us?

These days I think Twitter seems to be your best bet [unless they block you, of course]. Shatner actually sounds kind of like a douche dictator, to be honest - can I say that word on here? I am a fan of Tom Green, and when I write on his Twitter, he often replies. As long as they're...

Many celebrities have been mentioned as having tinnitus. The problem is that most of them probably don't have debilitating tinnitus - they've just mentioned it somewhere along the lines on a talk show or somewhere in a lyric. In my opinion, the majority of people in the world who experience...

Thanks for the uplifting message. I don't understand why there is so much negativity on this board sometimes. I wouldn't think a doctor with funding from a high level institution would be wasting his time on something that he didn't have faith in. Aside from that... there are other things...

Well, it's true that things such as the common cold and herpes also don't have a cure yet. You would think that herpes would be easy to cure. HOWEVER... they DO have medications that can prevent herpes breakouts / treat herpes breakouts more quickly. We may not be closer to finding a CURE...

Thought I would chime in on this one and show you a reply to a recent e-mail from Dr. Tzounopoulos. As far as I see it, he is our greatest hope. Everything else is just so...well...1972. Hello - I know you get a lot of questions about this, so I'll be brief: (1) Will RL-81 have a clinical...

I'd like to share my experience...it might be placebo effect since I hadn't smoked in a year, but...I took off for Vegas a few nights ago. Explained the issue to the budtender...he hooked me up with some Sativa strand (Pure THC) for smoking, as well as some CBD gummy-cubes for ingesting (he...
