for the first time since realizing I had a high pitched T and posting
to this group. I'm not sure if I am disappointed or relived by what

I found you all quite by accident.  My husband has tinnitus but has not gone

For as long as I can remember, my ears have been ringing.  I first

age.  We were supposed to go hiking with some family friends -- their
daughter was my age.  They cancelled the trip because the girl had an

T...Bono, Phil collins, pete townshend, etc...why arent they coughing
up the millions for vital research...surely they owe it to us...after
all they are probably responsible for the vast majority of tinnitus

lately I have had the worsening experience of hearing my heartbeat and it is
