We all know how France, Germany and Belgium are so highly advanced in tinnitus research. Everyone knows how American Tinnitus Association (ATA) is working hard day and night to reverse the condition of 50 million Americans.
I am from Australia. Australian researchers are also very hard-working. They developed Neuromonics device which has a 90% success of retraining the brain. Also Tipatinnitus which has some success rate. But what RNID, BTA and UK have done? Nothing!
Thay rely on others to find a cure rather than doing themselves.

| I couldn't agree with you more. | Suffering Without Silence | 09 Mar 2010 09:22 |
| And you would do well to remember how much you lot have to pay through the teeth for that Neuromonics device and any other treatment that is outside the UK. So before you start throwing stones in your glass house do a little research first before you start writing about your biast facts. T*W*A*T | TinHead | 09 Mar 2010 11:44 |
1) "biast" is not even a word. I had thought that you called yourself TinHead because of your tinnitus.
2) "Biased fact" is an oxymoron. M*O*R*O*N. | Suffering Without Silence | 09 Mar 2010 11:55 |
LOL some facts for the Moron first poster!
about RNID from their website. RNID campaigns and lobbies vigorously to change laws and government policies. We provide information and seek to raise awareness of deafness, hearing loss and tinnitus in all sectors. And we seek lasting change in education for deaf children and young people. Our vision is of a world where deafness or hearing loss do not limit or determine opportunity, and where people value their hearing.
RNID is a charity. do you know what CHARITY means? it means it relies on kind hearted people to make donations.
Also i have not seen or heard how the American Tinnitus Association are making any advances other the current state and awareness for finding a cure or treatment. you forget that the UK is just a small island that has about 60 million people in it compared to the Americas that has over 300 million. you do the maths you idiot.
As for belgium france and germany nobody is quite sure yet what is going on and if the treatments being tested out there will offer any hope so i wouldn't get too pretentious about that. one thing is for sure just as Tinhead said be prepared to part with a lot of your money for any of them treatments that "offer hope"
of course if you feel that strongly about how behind we are here then why don't you leave the British RNID Forum site and look for an Australian Tinnitus Forum site!
Good luck with the Neuromonics. | Gina | 09 Mar 2010 12:16 |
Oh wow Suffering Without Silence what a big person you are to give people a punch over a spelling mistake! i think you need to relax a bit and go lay down in a nice quiet room where you can't hear a SOUND....oh wait you can't lol.
well at least i know who the first poster was now.
if you have any balls then come back with proof of what you, sorry the original poster is talking about. back it up otherwise it's you who looks like the moron! | TinHead | 09 Mar 2010 12:27 |
Gina you make some good points. My worry is that hearing disorders receive ssubstantially less from the medical research funding pool than their economic and social impact suggests that they warrant. I don't suggest that the RNID don't try their best with the few resources that they have available as perhaps the original poster was saying.
Anyway, if you and TinHead are happy with the treatment tinnitus sufferers get in the UK then that's good for you both. I personally feel incredibly let down by the NHS's lack of concern and very disappointed that tinnitus treatment hasn't changed since 1980!
I think that leaving the RNID forum, as you suggest, is a good idea. Coming here only makes me feel down and draws my attention back to my excrutiating tinnitus. This will be my last post.
Best wishes one and all. | Suffering Without Silence | 09 Mar 2010 12:30 |
Hi TinHead. I wasn't the first poster. That was somebody else. I have my screen name next to all my posts.
As for your comment about going to a room where I can't hear a sound. I long for the day that that can happen again not just for me, but for you and everyone else on this forum. I wouldn't wish tinnitus on my worst enemy.
A correction to my last post - this will be my last post! I hadn't seen TinHead's message when I submitted the last one!
Finally, best wishes one and all, and farewell! | Suffering Without Silence | 09 Mar 2010 12:41 |
| Suffering Without Silence why don't you try the Neuromonics device! it has a 90% success rate, as told to us by the original poster! it's from Australia too! | TinHead | 09 Mar 2010 12:43 |
| Has anyone actually seen the Australian Tinnitus Association website? i mean talk about something that is stuck in the 1980's! | Gina | 09 Mar 2010 13:09 |
| Is everyone kidding? Can you imagine the big money some medical corporation is going to make if they crack this one? You better believe there are efforts out there to get the 'cure' to millions and millions of people who'd be happy to throw any fortune away for a respite from T. What's the Neuromonics device? At this point, there is no 'cure' because medical science is baffled, that's all. They don't know REALLY how the ear works. It's an educated guess. | Philippa | 09 Mar 2010 14:53 |
