I've had tinnitus since the age of eight when I broke my ear drum but
I didn't realize that it wasn't normal to have this ringing till my
early twenties. The trouble is that at age fifty seven it's getting
louder and my hearing is getting worse. For the last year or so it's
been creeping into my consciousness more often.

So my question is will this screeching just keep getting louder till I
go completely nuts? Are there any long time tinnitus people out there?

Thank you for your kind and thoughtful response. It's probably time to
check into hearing aids. The sad thing is that most of what you said
was told to me when I discovered I had T some thirty five years ago.
I've tested my diet and thankfully caffeine has no effect (I like my
coffee). I use hifi ear plugs for concerts and other loud situations.
I eat mostly right and don't take any drugs. Being an optimist I
always assumed that I would hear about a cure on the nightly news but
that now seems doubtful in my lifetime. Sorry, this is a support group
and I don't need to contribute to this already noisy NG (kind of
ironic isn't it?) with my self pity. I know what to do. We all know
what to do. Just get on with it, right? I'm not sure if it's a good
idea but maybe I'll hang around here for a while if that's alright.

Art,
Yeah, what belettevisquese said. Besides, this place needs all of the
thoughtful (and sane) people it can get.

Just a suggestion since you sound sort of "down." Take up some activity that
you can really get into which requires alot of focus. It can be rewarding in
itself--and the more intense the focus, the less attention you pay to the
"noise." And remember, this thing is actually very common--myself, I've got
10 friends that have it--all functioning just great, thank you.

And I'm a HUGE fan of finely brewed espresso--ask me about my brass, La Pavoni,
lever-action espresso machine :-)

Being from Seattle good coffee is a staple and another great reason
to get out of bed in the morning. Perhaps the best reason.... but
anyway....

On a related note, I found when I got into monitoring my
tinnitus noise such as: "is it louder because I drank milk, aspirin,
drank a beer last night etc.etc.?" I found that the noise was always on
my mind and made it worse and louder. When I decided to go on with life
and had my dark ale (mmmm), bite of chocolate and aspirin for a headache
that I was less conscience of my noise and it grew quieter the more I
refused to monitor. I also felt better because I was once again enjoying
stuff that bring pleasure to me.

Hi Art

I have "only" had T for around seven years, so I don't think I qualify
as a long term sufferer.
However, my father has had T for around 25 years. It has gotten a bit
worse along with his decrease of hearing. However, for what it's
worth, he finds that wearing hearing aids is a great help.
If I were you I would sure get my hearing tested and if possible have
some hearing aids on trial, if that's possible where you live.

Thanks everyone - I finally got a good night sleep and am feeling
pretty good. It's interesting that after so many years of dealing with
this that when the volume increases I have to start over from scratch.
It's as if I have been effectively ignoring this three hundred pound
gorilla in my living room and suddenly I get a new room mate but it's
an elephant, well enough of the doctor doolittle analogies. Your
advise and words of encouragement are very helpful. BTW I said I like
coffee but had no idea I was in the presents of greatness Rog with his
brass, La Pavoni, lever-action espresso machine,and Bruce living in
the mother country, I'm truly humbled. It's a wonder any of us ever
get any sleep.

A couple of years ago, when I moved to the town of Warrenton, population fewer
than 3,000 adults, there was one coffee house. Now there are seven. Some of my
friends have said they think the six new espresso emporiums are solely the
result of my being here.

Rog, it really is impressive that you have a "brass, lever-action,
La Pavoni". Once one discovers the virtues of truly good coffee
life is never quite the same. The mind just flies.
For example I woke up this morning thinking of ways to raise funds
for 't' research. Willie Nelson has raised some impressive amounts
through "Farm Aid" concerts. Perhaps he could hold some concerts for us?
We could call it "Hearing Aid". [badda-boom badda-bing]

I am happy to say that Susan Feine hooked up with us when she
visited Seattle. Anyone who has visited the Seattle area can vouch
for her observation that esspresso shacks are everywhere. They are
small and quaint 10'x10' buildings that serve only very good coffee.
We have them in every parking lot, gas station and near most urban
and street corners. They are in every building used by the public.
Susan did pretty well here handling the shock of sudden ingestion
of large quantities of caffeine. She 'claims' to have slept jus' fine
most nights. We even took her to the original and first Starbucks.
They almost didn't serve her because she was already bouncing off the
walls from an earlier cup.

Bob Dimarco, are you reading this? We need to add Columbian beans
to the EERIE WAX mix like pronto. Perhaps our sales will improve
from the present 2002 levels which are...... $.00, if my acounting
is correct. (At least that's what I'm reporting to the IRS)

Hi Rog

Lavazza is in my humble opinion THE best Italian espresso brew:-). A
must in for all that wants a quick "wake up" in the morning and
certainly the right blend for almost any cure. Two cups in the
morning, and you'll be ready for climbing the walls and won't have
time to think one second about T.

I think one of the coffee experts, Jim Chinnis, can give you a much
more detailed description of what's actually in this blend (read:
cure)and all the conditions it works for, provided his glasses are
better than mine:-) Can't read the small letters on the box:-)

Roge:

Actually, Colombian beans of all sorts along with Bora Bora root
and various road-kill from the Pacific Northwest are in the "Secret
Ingredients" we don't talk about here at EERIE WAX central.

Priced at a mere $6000 for our Six Weeks in Sunny, Scenic Seattle
(SSS), our T therapy program is "Like NO other" according to almost
everyone who's been here. When you wake on that first morning
to the gentle tones of our new 50 foot gong, we may cure your T,
and a few other things, before the program even starts ... . Bruce
has recruited a few Wahini's from the streets of Seattle who will
make you think you're in Beautiful Bora Bora BBB. Just ask Dr.
Grossan, our chief medical advisor if you have doubts.

In very special cases, we might even be able to arrange a session
with Bruce the Mystifier if nothing else clears up that nasty T.

I saw that the last time I was in Vegas, .....it's an amazing display! I
found it hard not to stare at the ceiling while I was walking in. Very
impressive,.... just like the hotel itself.

I never actually stayed at the Bellagio, mind you, I was just in for a look.

Hi Bob

LOL. This sure sounds very interesting and very much of a bargain. I'm
sure the success rate must be 100%.(Perhaps not for the T, but then
surely for something else!) If the secret ingredients don't work, I'm
sure the 50 foot gong will, but I have a couple of questions.
What exactly happens after the gong?:-) Perhaps your assigned medical
advisor could elaborate, before I start promoting your ultimate cure
here in Belgium?

I'm also interested in knowing what Bruce the Mystifier does with the
special cases?:-):-) And the additional cost of being treated by the

You should try Lavazza just before and just after you paint, Bruce.
Coffee, then attach the painbrushes to your feet and on you go. Then a
coffee pause, and on you go (on the wet paint) again:-) This way
you'll get the "look" that is very "in" where I live. Patiné. Old
look!Excellent exercise and I guarantee that you won't think of T for
one second.

And for those of you who wonder why things are sometimes very slow in
the EU Headquarters in Brussels. Actually they are not slow. They are
quite speedy, because they drink Lavazza in the morning. On time. Just
when the coffee shop opens. Then they start pacing the floors in all
directions, bumping into each other, passing out for a while, then
running again, climbing the walls and falling down on somebody else's
head. Quite hectic really, and it keeps the medical service very busy.
At the end of the day they have forgotten which meeting they came for,
but they do remember that the coffee was excellent. And so the story
goes in Brussels.

Upon sage counsel of Susanne, our Belgian conniosseur, I shall embark on the
search for Lavazza. My Italian espresso machine deserves nothing less than
Italy's finest.

Bruce and Bob's SSS treatment center sounds just perfect--and cheap, too.
Where do I send the check? (It'll bounce, of course, but then you get a
bad-debt write-off). Does the 50 ft. gong provide an out-of-body experience?
(If so, you can report it as a travel expense).

Since I know you're into tweaking the process can I suggest a small
refinement?: Follow the gong with "Chushingura" by the Jefferson Airplane on a
five-minute loop--at oh, say 110 dB. Any tinnitus remaining after the whole
experience will be simply a pleasant diversion.

You better go searching, Rog. Lavazza adds a new meaning to the words
"a cup of coffee". And your Italian espresso machine will be truly
thrilled. Be sure not to place it on top of the television, though.

I think it's an out-of-one's mind experience:-):-)But of course Bruce
and Bob will be able to tell more about that, provided they haven't
just heard the gong, in which case they might just sing hallelujah,
when asked any questions (and provided they can hear the questions

If you want the cure to be really effective and a complete
out-of-body-and-mind experience I think the piece by Jefferson
Airplane has to be played at at least 130db IMHO. After all, the
patients are supposed to hear it.

When Ron and I were young pups growing up in the US
our moms would plop us down in front of the TVs while
they went about their business. During the commercials
we were influenced by a most pleasant Swedish woman
named Mrs Olsen who would tell us about Folger's coffee.
Without the makeup and acting though it turns out she was
actually a 290 pound male professional wrestler by the
name of Dick The Bruiser.
Folgers won't really give you that *`jolt`* unless you
cook it until you can cause your spoon to stand up in
the cup, wouldn't you say Captain?
Anyway, add the aged EERIE WAX to the mix and your nerve
hair cells will actually change your tinnitus noise into
pleasantly mellow harmonic tones.
If not EERIE WAX will refund your money perhaps.

Usually about an hour out of the ice box should do it.
Any longer and the order will cause you to jump ship.

"Folgers--Its the richest kind!!" Aughhhhh!

Good description Bruce.

Ron, go ahead and tell them -- you reserve the mix for your diesel tanks when
you're chasing a marlin and need to boost your Bhp up to about 1500. Right?

That's a big NEGATIVE! The last time I dumped that Nasty Little mix
into the fuel tanks, I threw a piston right through the block of my
starboard engine!

Went To BIG LOTS tonight! Great closeout store where I buy all my
cleaning supplies for the boat and house. Saw a giant display with
"BEECH-NUT" *New & Improved* 10.5 oz. cans of coffee for 99 cents
each! Bought three of the little buggers! Hell, I seem to remember
BEECH NUT coffee from many years ago? Even those graphics on the can
bring back memories! I think my Mom drank that crap back in the
sixties? Kinda like Schlitz and Schaeffer beer, eh?

Well, I figured I'd mix up a couple of gallons of this crap in the
brown stained Mr. Coffee, ferment it with some aged EERIE WAX, and add
a few pints of diesel fuel. If the boat don't run any better, maybe
it would work out as a high quality shark chum?

If anyone wants to test this concoctions properties against tinnitus,
let me know.

Yes, sir, Mr. Remailer sir! We always obey anyone named Remailer, sir!
But may I speak freely and ask a few questions first, sir!?

1) How exactly do we end this thread, sir?
2) In what manner do you wish this thread ended, sir?
3) How will we know when this thread is ended, sir? Will you inform us
when the thread is ended, sir?
4) Who is this thread "fucking," and why, sir?
5) How do you intend to transmit your shoe through your CRT screen,
into your computer, through the phone lines, to Mr. Van Delay's
computer, into his CRT screen, and out into his anal cavity, sir? Will
you be using a Star Trek transporter, sir?

Your wish is our command, sir!

I tried to send the following back-channel to avoid the board--but
understandably--its a blind address (I don't blame you)

Please . . . just as a suggestion . . don't re-post that guy's garbage out to
the board. I think most of us have him (and a few others) filtered (otherwise,
its waaay too tempting to respond--just ask the Captain). Guys like that
THRIVE on attention -- that's why they write such inflammatory stuff.
Re-posting bypasses the filters (and those guys know it) and gives them the
attention they crave. Or as Jack would say "don't feed the trolls." (and I
hope I'm not doing so here).

My opinion. You're free to do what you want.
Thanks,
Rog

Aside to Susanne (with whom I'm now obviously smitten :-) -- I'll get back when
I've gotten more of this work load off my desk-- and had a chance to settle in
a bit.

Sir, with all due respect to your greater rankness, you really must
stop tricking nearsighted Sue. I mean, you left your zipper open,
surrounded by a ring of cashews, sir. Now, you know that nearsighted
Sue can't distinguish between objects of similar color and size, sir.

Your obedient servant,
