This blog is for tinnitus sufferers, tinnitus researchers, and friends and family of tinnitus sufferers. The goal is to raise awareness about tinnitus and to promote ideas that may help to lead to a cure. There is no cure for chronic severe tinnitus that is caused by non-regenerative cochlear cell damage. However, there are ways to manage tinnitus and the secondary conditions that tinnitus causes.

Tinnitus: Temporary Relief
There are only a few times where I have experienced an absolute silencing of the ringing. I am a volunteer scuba diver at the Monterey Bay Aquarium. Every other Monday I drop into the Kelp Forest and perform a feeding show. During the show and for two hours afterward I experience absolutely no ringing. It is incredible. Then after about two hours it is like a lightswitch that flicks on and the ringing starts again. I would like to see someone research the effects of placing tinnitus sufferers into a hyperbaric chamber for temporary relief.
