Controlling Tinnitus: What works for you?
Hello: Has anyone on this site had any luck with controlling tinnitus? I see certain things advertised but always sceptical. Any thoughts/ideas?

NOTHING works. It's there for ever!!
In 13 years with tinnitus, I have to say I have learned to live with it. Only the very loud buzzing version really bothers me but those tend to be brief. Hearing tests are tough on a loud tinnitus day. Some audiologists specialize in tinnitus so I would suggest finding one locally who might offer some relief. I have a hearing aid on one side and a bone anchored hearing aid on the other thanks to my ear cancer.
