Announcement Thank You All! Tinnitus Talk's First Anniversary

Well, we are already a little over year old (date of birth March 5th, 2011).

I feel most privileged to have been given the opportunity to meet all of you.

My life with tinnitus has definitely improved after I brought Tinnitus Talk online. Whether you call it habituation or natural improvement, I think our forum has been an integral part of my life within the past year.

Each and every member and message here is important. However, I'd still like to give a special shout out to Jim, joe, mock turtle, Warren Spencer, Karl and Karen.

All of the above have been actively taking part in the community, providing fresh and uniquely interesting information, not to mention just being there for anyone in need.

As we all know, tinnitus research is quite active and new breakthroughs are likely being made as we speak, so who knows how long our community will be needed. Hopefully not that long. In the meantime, thanks for sticking around and I hope we'll have a great year ahead of us.

Sincerely,
Markku

 

Happy first anniversary, Tinnitus Talk!

Hi , When I first got T I didn't think I was going to make it. I was very close to giving up. But now I refuse to give in to this. Karen said it all for me to. I also want to thank everyone on this forum. Words can not express enough thanks....Pat

 

Thank you Markku! You have given a wonderful gift to all of us in the Tinnitus Talk community. I very much appreciate all the time, energy and thought you have given to us all. My participation here has been a very rewarding experience. I feel very fortunate to be a part of it.
Thank you for the opportunity.
Jim

 

Nice one Markku, Invoice in the post !!!

 

I am constantly seeking out information and treatment that may be of help to a sufferer - includes me! One never knows what it will take to relieve the symptoms. It is all worth a shot. Even if it is a placebo effect.

Appreciate the opportunity Markku to share.

Some may call me the black sheep of the forum, but my heart is in the right place for all of us.

ps... I am doing well!

 

I hoped to make a contribution and not just complain and express discomfort and frustration here during my tinnitus event. I am not one to complain. I find that as we share, we all learn and may be helped in some small or even large way.

Many of us do not share the same tinnitus symptoms or even reasons why we have it or how we got it. And since there are varying reasons for it, one would expect there are varying treatments and solutions.

While some threads I initiated here are of the "alternative" treatment and research, others have been more mainstream and orthodox. Here is what I have contributed. If you have found hope or even improvement in your condition.... GREAT! I am comforted and pleased by it.

With this strange condition tinnitus, we should be open for any kind of relief we can get. We never know what works for one and not the other.... just as we developed the tinnitus in different ways.

Markku -
Great job with this website. Did you design it? Very cutting edge web design, with nice features and controls.
..and Jim, great job with the white noise MP3 tracks. I listen to them in my office.

Yes, this seems to be the place with the "T" research news. I have finally gotten into in the habit of looking at "Research Portion" of the site. When I first came to the site, I was simply trying to climb myself out of the tinnitus hell-hole.

I'm somewhat confident there will be a cure. The news that I have been reading about Tinnex/caroveine has been promising, although the testimonials seem to be luke-warm. I was ready to buy a plane ticket to India when I read about this stuff.

 

Thank you Markku - it's been a pleasure that I wish would stop right now.

We all owe you a great deal for creating this forum and for supporting it with an undoubted 'fairness to all' attitude. It's made tinnitus more bearable and you deserve the credit.

 

I wholeheartedly echo Clicks sentiments.
