I, too, am a tinnitus sufferer. I've had it since I was a child. I wasn't aware there was any research being done. This is good news that people are working on the problem.

I got it in March 1982 due to an infection and I just woke up with it one morning. It is really bad. At this very moment as I type this it is extremely loud. As usual it is like a tea kettle is going off inches from my head as it has been every single second since the first week of March 1982. Unbelievable. I had a very rough time the first couple years trying to deal with it. I felt it must account for some suicides. I am glad people on this thread are not making fun of it.
