Many people do not realize that Tinnitus is a permanent condition from nerve damage.

Damage to any nerve is ir-reversible. People, like myself who suffer from this condition become desperate, and when desperation exists, here comes crawling out of the ground, scammers who “invent” magic potions that claim to fix tinnitus. All of a sudden they become Einstein. This product and all other “homeopathic” potions are just loaded with, Calcium carbonate , this is nothing more than an antacid, which cannot be taken on a regular basis, as it will create other helath issues.

My audiologist has suggested “masking” the sound, and protect myself from loud noises, Please save your money, this product will not work.

This book is a confusing mess of anectdotal remedies for tinnitus. If you can decipher what this guy is saying and come up with a treatment plan, more power to you. It’s worth a look only because of its low price, otherwise the serious tinnitus sufferer should just pass this one by.

I bought this book thinking that it would give me some dietary guidelines to follow that would help me. What I got was a very small booklet containing gobs of scientific explanations that, quite frankly, had me lost. Though reading about how hearing occurs was interesting, Dr. Yanick got to the end of the book without giving any dietary guideline except a very brief list of “what not to eat with what” and no explanation to go with it. He is also selling an “enzyme” complex, “which can be purchased at local health food stores.” To me, this booklet raised more questions than supplied me with answers.

When my mother was diagnosed with Meniere’s five years ago, I began searching for information that would corroborate my belief that this disease has its cause in nutritional deficiencies and imbalances. I have been appalled at the lack of acknowledgement that this disease — like all diseases — has a CAUSE! In its typical fashion, the medical industry approaches this disease in the context of a highly ineffective intervention paradigm and utterly ignores the incredible potential that lies in finding, and REMOVING the cause of the disease. The blind recommendations doctors typically make about lowering sodium intake and avoiding alcohol and tobacco have done nothing to help my mother. This book, however, offers real hope to those afflicted with these insidious and life-destroying diseases (Meniere’s and Tinnitus). I urge anyone who is living with one of these diseases, or cares about someone who is, to read this book and incorporate the recommendations into your lifestyle (or that of your loved one)! Thank you, Dr. Yanick, for writing this wonderful book.

To be honest I have not finished the pamphlet yet. I agree with some of the other reviews that it is very technical reading. But it gives the information on how what you put into your body effects your body which I found interesting.

The back of the book is supposed to be about diet which I look forward to reading.

I have read in other reading material that foods that restrict blood flow worsen the tinnitus they are salt, sugar, caffeine, chocolate, wine, and foods with MSG. So I look forward to reading the info in this pamphlet.

Dr. Yanick suffered hering loss himself and was tenacious enough (and smart enough) to find out why after being told that there was nothing that could be done.

I am so happy I stumbled accross this booklet because it reinforces my belief that nutritional abuse is responsible for many diseases. Sadly, I was mislead all these years in thinking that my problem was a pinched nerve in my neck and that there was no cure. Now, I can refocus my attention on the diet. I am very excited!

I read about 5 books on tinnitus and hyperacusis. This is, by far, the best. The only thing needed to treat tinnitus is to understand some methods, which are explained, and to purchase a $50 nature sound machine. My only complaint is that the author didn’t provide a list of nature sound machines (academians don’t endorse, I guess), and these are somewhat difficult to shop for.

Fast reading–took me about 4 hours. Easiest way to figure out how to treat tinnitus and hyperacusis. Not fully “cured”, but treatment teached me how to live accommodate both tinnitus and hyperacusis.

Jastreboff’s TRT:INM is essential reading for those of us who suffer from tinnitus and is approachable by even the layman.

It was encouraging to learn what factors may be in play in tinnitus emergence and how my own personality and conditioning may have contributed. Jastreboff’s neurophysiological model of tinnitus explains the oto-neurological reorganization that takes place to intensify and make persistent the tinnitus percept. The plasticity of the related mechanisms offers encouragement for relief and recovery. His many documented successes with TRT are indisputable. However, there still are failures. Inadequate “TRT counselling”? In addition to counselling sessions on the neurophysiological model other therapies may be necessary — psychotherapy, cognative behavioral therapy, distraction attention techniques, imaginary exercises and modifications of maladaptive thoughts and behaviors.

Will TRT work for me?

[Note: I finished this text and followed it immediately with Kevin Hogan's "Tinnitus: Turning the Volume Down." It is an interesting contrast. Jastreboff frowns on the use of drugs and many other "modalities", banking almost exclusively on his neurophysiological model of tinnitus and conforming therapies. Hogan, who suffered and received significant relief takes a more pragmatic approach: If it works, he won't dismiss it. He does address the pros and cons of many approaches. And he is not against an approach, which uses many treatments concurrantly. He plays the percentages, hoping to increase the probability of success (1 - p1%*p2%*...*pn%). Hogan himself used a variety of meds and hypnosis to achieve habituation of reaction and perception of his own severe tinnitus.]

I have tinnitus and from time to time it’s been very upsetting. This book has helped me cope with it as no other resource has been able to do. It’s a lot of mental work but it’s good work and it delivers results. The book teaches you how to rethink your attitude towards this often bizarre disorder so that you can effectively heal yourself. In sections it’s heavy going with all the scientific talk and data, but it’s manageable and once you get into it it makes great sense and best of all you can already feel that your mind is absorbing the information and making the changes you want to see.

If you have tinnitus and you want to do something positive to change it for the better, this is the book you should be reading.

Finally, an all-inclusive book–from the discovery of a most brilliant neuroscientist–that explains the mysteries of the auditory system, tinnitus/hyperacusis/hearing loss and how it is possible to achieve permanent relief. Topics run the gamut from the processing of sounds within the brain to the treatment protocol including recovery results with statistics to prevention: Based on the Jastreboff Neurophysiological Model of Tinnitus.

Book even gives an unbiased overview of other tinnitus treatments. Incredibly Forthright! Extremely Informative! Easy-To-Read Format.

This is a book “not-to-miss” for everything one needs to know. And, most importantly, for the only correct treatment for permanent relief in the world.

The treatment, TRT, will be needed in a futuristic world in order for people to strengthen their auditory systems to tolerate the sound levels of their environment. TRT will be revolutionary. Book contains help; book contains hope. Book contains proof that no one need suffer anymore!
