I'm all about the vagus (which is odd because I'm a gay man :p) but I have never heard one can "stimulate" it near the ears. I thought breathing...

Find a new primary care physician. And if that doctor won't order an MRI then get a referral to an orthopedic surgeon that specializes in neck...

Great idea Ed. As was mentioned though the issue would be motivating depressed tinnitus sufferers to conform to this new routine. But I think...

Saw a Bowie cover band last weekend with some friends. Put earplugs in at the start of the show. Glad I did because that shit was loud. Had a...
