      So I figured I'd give this a try for three months as my audiologist suggested. May or may not work but I'm not getting my hopes up. But then I can't say that I never tried. Has anyone ever used it and did it do anything for you?

      Hello@derpytia

      Their tinnitus library http://www.tinnitusformula.com/library/ has a lot of information, but most would say their products don't help tinnitus. Some ENT's say they help though, and I don't think they are in any way connected with Arches, so you can best judge for yourself. I have tried them and don't have a definite yes or no if they help.

      Hmmm, well, we'll see what happens I guess. It's mostly for my mother's sake. She heard me say that my audiologist recommended it and I told her it probably wont help but she went and ordered it anyway. I personally don't have much of a hope that anything will help me except habituation and possibly CBT if I can find a darned therapist who can do the job! I'm kinda at a standstill in my habituation process and I keep taking steps backwards and find it very hard to go forwards. So who knows, maybe Arches will pull a miracle on me, but I can't get my hopes up because that'll only be setting myself up for disappointment (as it happens with most things I hope for).

      I think in your stage it could do some good. I still take it everyday and know some one who took it and swears it helped him a lot. So go for it hope it helps...-fellow musician friend
      Let me know how it goes

      Hey @derpytia. I think you're probably right not to get your hopes up about it too much, but I have dear friend who swears by it and takes it daily. I tried it and I am not sure it did much, but it can't hurt to get some extra vitamins for a few months at any rate. At the least you can say you tried it.

      Also, don't get too frustrated about habituation yet. It's still really early for you and it seems like you're doing a lot better than when you first got here, to a degree it will happen in its own time. It's awesome that you're looking for a CBT person. Let us know how it goes!

      Why not save some money and buy each of the three ingredients individually? Thee's nothing special about them, they are freely available.

      You could donate what you save to someone like the ATA, BTA or TRI and help to either support others or forward the search for a cure.

      @Steve Well, it wasn't entirely my choice to get them. My mother wanted me to try it more than me even though I've explained to her that it probably wont help.

      And I have donated to the ATA, did that a few weeks ago. It wasn't much though, I'm in college and I don't make much at my job either. I'm not the one paying for the Arches though. It's more her choice to pay for it and my choice to try it. Like I said, she's got more hope than I do at this point.

      If you mean, did Arches get rid of anyone's tinnitus the answer is most likely No. It has been around for years. If this really worked on any scale we would know about it by now.

      Thank you Erik. What about rtms? Does anyone have any long term reduction with it?

      The jury is still out on this treatment. There have been some positive studies but the sample size was small. It has also been positive for treating depression and other conditions. Microstransponder is one of leaders in this area but there doesn't seem to be that much progress made in a while. Univ of Arkansas is looking for participants for a study right now: https://www.tinnitustalk.com/thread...-for-rtms-study-participants.8184/#post-95010

      I wonder why they keep doing studies if its generally ineffective. Do they keep trying to refine the process?

      I'm not a detective per se, but the word troll comes to mind when your ONLY post is regarding ARCHES and coincidentally, you posted it on the one topic that has to do with ARCHES. Maybe I'm wrong... I hope I'm wrong. If I am, I apologize.

      I know for a fact fake reviews exist. They are usually written by bribed consumers. I know because companies offer people free product in exchange for reviews, i got a few supplements for free (unrelated to tinnitus) just creatine and protein powder. Of course they don't tell you that you must give positive feedback, instead they cease offering you future incentives if your reviews f

      definite troll post.

      there's good money in it.

      http://www.cracked.com/personal-experiences-2376-i-get-paid-to-write-fake-reviews-amazon.html

      don't take anything you read online at face value. Look at what happened with the US election this year -- there was (probable) interference from overseas adversaries, and Clinton had her own people doing the same thing with super PAC money through Correct The Record. Politics is just one part of it, paid product reviews etc are another big one.

      If the person you're responding to here is indeed a paid astroturfer, they may not be paid by arches directly -- arches probably gives money to advertising firms to "promote the brand", they hire other people, etc. It's a pyramid scheme of bullshit.
