All this week in ireland on the radio and tv there takin about temporary T and how these guys can get rid of it in a matter of a minutes by playin a certain tune through headphones after concerts mp3 players etc,
thery are movin onto trials now for permanent t in 90% of cases the Tinnitus went staright away peolple would say well it would probably go anyway but somepoeple can experience it for 2days

so the future looks promisising at least these guys are lookin to a cure and who knows what will come of it

Has anyone had any luck getting the sound generator on the website to work? Can't get it to produce any noise.

Dear Alex,

I'm sorry to inform you that we have just concluded a 5 week trial
into the accumulative effects of our therapy for sufferers of
permanent tinnitus. We are currently in the process of analysing
results.
We will, however, contact you if we are doing any trials in the future.

Thank you for expressing an interest in our work and we hope to
contact you again in the future.

Regards,
The Restored Hearing Team.
