From time to time readers of the Arches Tinnitus  Blog and Quiet Times Tinnitus Newsletter have sent us stories on aspects of their recovery from tinnitus. Understanding that there is no "cure" for tinnitus but that there are many paths to finding relief and/or acceptance, we have created a new category on our blog called "Living in the Solution."

We seek to include stories and comments from individuals living positively with or seeking success over tinnitus, so that their experiences may inspire strength and hope as well as a sense of community for those who struggle with this condition.

Tinnitus can lead individuals to despair, internalized anger, frustration and ultimately isolation. We understand this from personal experience. But all too often Internet blogs can become vehicles for this frustration broadcasting vitriol and attacks on persons, places and things.

This blog chooses to focus on the positive. We encourage participation based on the simple concept of living in the solution and selections will be based on that criteria. We will only print your first name and the first initial of your last name but would appreciate knowing your city and state.
