I am 81 years old and have been living with tinnitus for over 50 years now. After consulting with doctors in Europe and the US, the result was always the same: "We don't know what causes the problem and there is no cure or treatment. Just learn to live with it." And that is what I have done. I have always thought the problem is neurological and involves the brain not the ears. It is heartening to know that there may be a successful treatment out there. It would be a dream come true to live out the rest of my life knowing what complete silence is! My hope is to find where this treatment is available.
