In what seems to be my never ending journey around the wwtw (world wide tinnitus web! ) I today came across one of the more encouraging sites on offer.....check this out guys (specially the wee 'prognosis' they offer and the bit about "DMSO Topically"!! Enjoy!

Very interesting!

"Ask your doctor to review the following article, Annals of the New York Academy of Sciences 75:243:468:74. 'In this study,15 patients were suffering from tinnitus. Every four days 2 milliliters of a medicated DMSO solution containing anti-inflammatory and vasodilatory compounds were applied locally to the external auditory canals of their ears. They were also given an intramuscular injection of DMSO at the same time.
'After one month, 9 of the 15 patients had a total cessation of the tinnitus and it didn't return during the one year observation period. It was diminished in two others and in the remaining four it became only an occasional problem instead of permanent (cold temperatures seemed to be the main factor causing it to return).

Everyone should ask their doctors about this next time they go in and keep us posted!

Certainly will ask my doctor I have just read about --yet another herbal remedy - called "Tinnutab" which states that it is clinically proven and one can notice a difference in 30 days . Sounds too good to be true and you know what they say about that! This has probably come up before but I havent been involved in this forum for long but any comments?

i am eagerly waiting to see what RB has got to say.
