Iv`e been thru Neuomonics Phyl.  It has helped me pretty much to make the tinnitus much more bareable. It`s expensive but was worth it with the level my tinnitus was ringing at. My insurance covered 2 thirds and from what I`m hearing more insurances are starting to recognize the process. As a matter of fact there is a possibility they may do a news report on TV which I`ve been contacted to be part of. Haven`t heard antything lately though. Best wishes, Mickey

Phyl ....

This was described at the Symposium ..... however, I had great difficulty hearing her at the roundtable discussion because of all of the room noise (kicking up my tinnitus big time!) so it is good to have the article for reinforcement.

As a side note; I wish more break-out sessions had included hand outs to take home.  The CART was wonderful for the whole group situations but I missed parts of the other things due to hearing issues in that environment.
