Does anyone's tinnitus get worse when they are sick? Mine has been bad
because I have head congestion.

People have been writing about the relationship between T and coffee
from time to time.  How about the relationship between T and tea?
Tea also has caffeine in it.  It thus should affect our T the same way
that coffee does.  But many of us do drink coffee with cream a/o

My tinnitus are very recent (- 1week), I'd like to know if a complete
recovery is possible with this method ? What are the statistics ?
Thanks.

For the rough period of 2 years in which I was tormented by my T, I
went to many many doctors.  Some happened to be very helpful while
some very useless, and some's advices were so incomprehensible to me
that I did not even bother to try.

"You'll have to learn to live with it", is something that patients are
told from time to time by doctors who believe perhaps that effective
treatment doesn't exist or, having tried tablets or infusion therapy,
that all options have been exhausted.

I see you post here too so I am posting this here and in the sinusitis
newsgroup:
Well, this started totally all-of-a-sudden about 20 days ago and has

I read a book in which the author says the word 'however' cannot be
used to start a sentence.  Is this true?  If this is true, what other
words can I use to start a sentence in such a way that it suggests the
meaning of 'however'?  How about 'but'?

I have a malfunctioning immune system. Antigens such as normal gut
bacteria and common dietary proteins further provoke it to inflame my
intestines (ileum & colon), joints (mainly hips, shoulders, fingers),
nerves (CTS, sciatica, neck, tinnitus), tendons (under foot) and skin

Out of all the controlled studies brought out by the high-tech
scientists who have shown up so far in this ng,  the method of sound
masking, according to my experience, seems the most beneficial and not
a bit harmful.

I ran into the following website of a Chinese hospital in Beijing of
China.  This hospital specializes in treating ear problems.

I developed tinnitus about two weeks after I start with Lipitor and have had
it continuously for the last three months.  From what I can tell, tinnitus
is reported as a side effect of statins about 2% of the time.  Does anyone
have experience with this?  Does the tinnitus go away ...

So its June of 2007.  Still working through the tinnitus issue (see
previous posts).
Since the beginning ( 2 years back or so ), I've tried:
- Audiologists tests, MRI, MRA: found nothing.

In order for a tinnitus patient to decide whether or not he should try
a recommended treatment, the *only* valid yardstick used is to gauge
whether a said treatment will or will not produce IRREVERSIBLE
CONSEQUENCE.  The rest is irrelevant!

Can anyone suggest sources of information (on the internet or elsewhere) on
treatments for misophonia?
Thanks
