    Looking for Feedback — Drs Office Idea

    Hello there everyone! You may have spied some of my research requests on the forum. In speaking with some of the fine people of TT and Tinnitus patients not on the forum, I've been trying to find a way I might add something positive to the lives of those with tinnitus. I noticed that while not...

    Tinnitus from Acoustic Trauma (Can You Speak with Me Over a Video Chat This Weekend, January 20-21)?

    Hello dear TT community, That said, I'm presently in graduate school starting the initial stages of a potential thesis project. I need to speak with (at least) two of our community who have chronic tinnitus from acoustic trauma. Would anyone be willing to speak with me this weekend over a...

    Dearest Tinnitus Talk Community, I haven't been around these parts for a while, but used to be a staff member, supporter, and supportee here on TT. I was admitted to graduate school, and I'm working on research to help support better care and experiences for people with chronic health...

    Talking to Loved Ones

    This was going to go in another thread where the topic was brought up, but I felt it might be a little 0ff-topic, so I'm giving it a new home :) I think one thing I've learned from having T is that helping people who are suffering a trauma or recovering from one is not necessarily a natural...

    Thync, a Brain-Altering Wearable

    To be honest, I find this product a bit scary, but the technology is interesting. For those with tinnitus who are currently, or who have suffered from severe anxiety and depression and fear drug side effects - this could be a huge gift if used wisely. The article below states this kind of tech...

    Best Tinnitus Advice in One Sentence/Tweet

    Hi all! I was writing something today and thinking I'm too verbose. I love to write, but I'm working on getting to the point. What with all the long posts going on around here, I thought it would be fun to condense your best advice/hopeful message to a new tinnitus sufferer into a...

    The Mirror

    I'm not sure this is the right place for this, since it isn't really a tinnitus treatment per se, but it is a real treatment for something that is in many way similar. I know people have compared tinnitus to a kind of phantom limb pain (in some cases) and I was reading this article in The New...

    The Light

    Hello Everyone, I'm not sure why, but I was just sitting here and realized that today, at this moment, was the time to write my "success story." I have had tinnitus since April 13th, 2013, so a year and five months, just about. I called this post "the light" because that's kind of how I feel...

    Yellow Fever Vaccine

    So I'm heading on some travels and need to get a vaccine for yellow fever. I'm not too terribly worried about side effects, but I have heard that people have gotten tinnitus from the vaccine in extreme cases. I'm definitely going to get it - 1 in 125,000 chance of worsened tinnitus beats yellow...

    Antimalarials

    Hello Dr. Nagler, Thank you for giving your time to this board and community. I'm heading to Brazil in July and usually take antimalarials (my pick is normally malarone), when I'm going somewhere that has malaria. I've had friends who went through it and whatever little degree of protection it...

    Cell Phone dB Meters

    Hello All, I went to a bar the Friday before last (Friday Nov. 8th), and when I walked in it felt kind of loud so I pulled out my little cell phone db meter. I know these are no replacement for a real one, but for getting a general guess and having something handy I use it. Also, since getting...

    Greetings to all and thank you
