After skimming just this board, I had made a list of possible treatments for tinnitus that have been mentioned here in the last few months.
(I have left out TRT because half the bandwidth on the Internet consists of that debate. I'm interested in the "other" treatments)
When I originally posted "Just Curious" on 12/14/02, there were close to 1,000 "views". Out of the entire list, there was 1 positive comment regarding the Hisonic machine, 1 positive comment regarding masking, 6 "no change" comments concerning the various vitamins, and one whose T was not affected by Bio Ear or lidocaine.
I am still curious why out of 1.000 people, no one had a lot of positive things to say about any of the items on the list. (Actually, I have a strong opinion why, but I'll leave that for a later thread !!)
I have reproduced the list, and have added a few more treatments that have recently been discussed. After looking over the list, please see questions below..

2) How many people on this board were satisfied with the results? (or know someone that was)
In addition to the regulars here, I would really appreciate the "lurkers" to jump in with your experiences with these products/treatments.
(If anyone has other treatments to add to the list, I'd be glad to type them in)
Hear's to quiet times !!
Michael
