Living

Barry Keate, answers your questions about tinnitus.
Ginkgo
Biloba for Cancer
It
has been established through over 30 double-blind,
placebo based studies that pharmaceutical grade
Ginkgo biloba extract is effective for many in reducing
tinnitus.
Now
there is a growing compendium of data showing that
ginkgo extract can be helpful for cancer, both in
prevention and treatment.
While
QT's intent will always be to provide timely
information on tinnitus, we believe that this article
will be of great interest to our readers.
Which
ear do you use when talking on your cell phone?
Does one ear "hear" better than the other?
Ever use a hands-free device when talking? Tinnitus
authority and inner specialist, Michael Seidman,
MD, would like to know your answer to these and
six other short questions. The two minute survey
is part of a clinical study and QT will
publish his findings.
Here's
what Dr. Seidman has to say about this important
two-minute survey:
"I
wish to thank everyone who participates. I am trying
to assess which ear people use for their cell phone
and to determine if there is a relationship to tumors
of the head and neck.
Interestingly,
most people are right -handed and oddly enough they
use their right ear! If tumors were truly
associated with cell phone use, I would then think
that if my observation is correct then 90% of the
tumors should be on the right side and this is NOT
the case.
Thus, I am trying to see if my observation (that
most people use their right ear) is correct, this
would shed additional light on the situation. Some
will say "I use both" but invariably most
prefer one ear to the other and that is what we
are interested in."
Over
1,600 ENT Doctors tell their patients to take 4 TRF
to determine effectiveness, so why pay more? You save
on shipping too - pay a flat fee of $6.95 in the US.
"Just
wanted to tell you how much I enjoy TRF. I've endured
tinnitus since 1993. For the past year I've been using
your product. Being desperate for some relief I ordered
it and gave it a trial. My tinnitus dropped greatly
in intensity. I feel like I have some control over my
tinnitus and my life. Thanks again."

Dear
Barry,
The bi-lateral ringing started out of the blue in
late Aug '08. The first ENT doctor I went to looked
in my ears and said that this was a reaction or sensitivity
to MSG & foods with natural salicylates in them
(ie: berries, tomatoes, potatoes, apples, peaches,
cucumbers, etc). I thought this was crazy as I have
been a very health conscience eater most of my life
with no tinnitus side effects after eating lots of
fruits, tomatoes, etc. The second ENT doctor I went
to said that he had never heard of these foods causing
tinnitus or exasperating it. I do understand that
MSG can increase the effects of tinnitus, but I am
very careful about not eating foods that contain this
ingredient.
My question is if there is any connection between
tinnitus and these foods that have high amounts of
salicylates in them?
Thanks for your time,
Rhonda K
Portable
Laser Tool for Tinnitus?
Dear
Barry
I write to you again because you are the only person
who inspires me with confidence on this subject of
tinnitus. I want to ask you about Tinni-Tool, It has
been a year with tinnitus, every day gets worse, and
I do not know why. According to what I read on the
internet it could lower or even cure the tinnitus
in people who have had it less than 4 years. Is there
any danger for use the LLT, could it make worse my
tinnitus? Please, I would like to know your opinion
and know that does not replace an ENT, but believe
I feel more comfortable with yours.

Surgical
solution for tinnitus?
Dear
Barry Keate
I just have a few simple questions:
1 - Is there a surgery on the inner ear that will
delete tinnitus?
2 - Are there artificial parts for the inner ear that
can be replaced to delete tinnitus?
3 - Can the entire inner ear be replaced with a donor?
