MDJunction to me

"All I can say is that this has been the best place ever. It has been six to seven months since I joined, and I have learned so much. I now believe in myself and accept myself on a completely different level. The people on MDJunction has been so supportive and accepting that I have been able to adopt it into my personal life. That has reduced a lot of stress in my life. Thanks to all." (bunnyfly)

Its somewhat reassuring to know that tinnitus drives other people as crazy as it drives me sometimes, though I would never wish it on anyone else.

I found this on then internet the other day:

www.detinnitiser.com

I asked my audiologist if its just a gimmick - he said there is a body of evidence that it might work for some people, so I think I will write away to see if I can get one sent to the other side of the worlds for me. Does anyone else know?

Good Morning Mazere!

Here are some sites giving a little bit more help/insight into the effect called residual inhibition:

http://stason.org/TULARC/health/body/tinnitus-ringing-ears/ 11-1-Residual-Inhibition.html

http://www.informaworld.com/smpp/ content~content=a779455348~db=all~jumptype=rss

http://www.experthearingsolutions.com/PDFs/RIT.pdf

Did you "do the math" on the cost of the detinnitser? The exchange from British Pounds to American Dollars goes like this: $48.81 for 2 CDs, $5.77 for shipping or, if you want to purchase the CDs and the box and headset (and receive free shipping) the complete package is $350.18.

Have you had your tinnitus matched? If so, have they attempted residual inhibition on you?

If you have not had any kind of testing to find out if you would benefit from residual inhibition, I would suggest keeping your money in your pockets until you do. The reason being, when case studies have been performed on tinnitus sufferers, the majority find that as soon as the "noise" is turned off, their tinnitus returns:

http://www.tinnitusarchive.org/dataSets/set-1/ tinnitusTestResults/residualInhibitionDuration

I would suggest that you have your tinnitus matched and a test for residual inhibition performed. Then, take a look at the links I have given to you here (the statistics) and decide then whether you want to spend $54.58 for 2 CDs or $350.18 for a CD player with infrared headphones and 2 CDs.

I have locked the post (not because anything went wrong or anyone said anything wrong) because I am going to divide it into two threads. Mazere, the "Detinnitiser" thread can be found in the "Medicine and Treatment" section. and gevilido, your Tinnitus and Vertigo thread can be found in the "General and Support" Section.
