I was listening to Radiolab the other day, and I was struck by a particular story about a woman with chronic pain. I can't help but feel like it applies to many of us struggling with tinnitus.

The story starts at 13:45, you can listen to it here: http://www.radiolab.org/story/161758-break-cycle/

And for our final loop, we talk with author Melanie Thernstrom who has been living with pain every day for fifteen years. Neuroscientist Sean Mackey explains that she is caught in a crossfire of signals between her body and her brain. Sean showed Melanie how to enter that loop and ultimately take control of her pain... for a while.
