The statement that "there is no cure for tinnitus" is an incomplete
statement. It leaves out something important at the end, and the
statement, when completed, should be "there is no cure for tinnitus
for *some*, but not *all* tinnitus patients."

This statement about cure for tinnitus, in an incompleted form, and
supported by results of 'controlled' studies, has misled a lot of
people and done much destruction to the newbies who visit this ng.

Ever since my tinnitus started about 3 years ago, I have come across a
few persons whose tinnitus has been 'cured' and cured in terms of
enjoying complete silence in the ear.  These t patients, however, did
have one thing in common; they went for treatments as soon as their T
started!

2 persons were treated by intravenous injection of blood vessel
dilating medicine, one did not take any med but was advised by his
doctor to perform simple exercises in order to pump more blood into
the head during its onset, one by acupuncture.  All of them reported
complete silence in the ear after the treatment or a 'cure'!

I personally tried 'you name it' all....additive drugs, intravenous
injection and taking of blood vessel dilating medicine, oxygen
chamber, ginko, and acupuncture.  At this moment, the decibel in my
ear is about 10-15% of its highest pitch, and the noise comes only
intermettently.  This is not a cure but a treatment well done.  But I
am not going to stop here.  I would try treatments again if I am
convinced a doc is able to do it for me.  I am very sorry that I came
to this group a few years ago and was misled by quasi-scientific
reports,  and by people who are 'experts'  but experts who lack in
common sense.  As a result, I delayed my treatments.

I strongly suggest all newbies should attend their new found T
immediately rather than to wait around in this ng and learn to
'habituate'.  You can habituate and seek for treatment at the same
time.  Why not?  But the last thing you do is to give up.

You give up now and you give up forever!

ATTEND TO YOUR T WHILE IT IS STILL NEW...
