You can tell that the author knows what he is writing about. A bit repetitive but overall worth the read. Thank you Kevin for your hope and useful advice. <br /> Rating: 4 / 5

A bit pricey though. Rating: 5 / 5

Hansen Tue, 20 Oct 2009 17:21:16 +0000 http://www.tinnitusanswers.com/tinnitus-turning-the-volume-down-proven-strategies-for-quieting-the-noise-in-your-head#comment-164 This book was well written and provides a good starting place for identifying physiological and emotional sources of severe tinnitus. Other than the persistent thread throughout the book recommending the need to consider hypnotherapy and the lack of viable hypnotherapists specializing in tinnitus, the book did not come across as a sales pitch or claim to provide an "instant cure". The author stresses the need for patience and the application of a multi-modal approach, which seems prudent for attacking tinnitus. It's early in our road to healing, therefore I cannot confirm whether the methods suggested in this book will ultimately result in a reduction in the perceived noise and associated distress, but most of it makes good sense and can be applied with minimal financial investment. I definitely recommend this book as a source of encouragement for those suffering from severe tinnitus. Rating: 4 / 5

But, the writing style is awful. It reads like it was written five paragraphs at a time without going back to see what was written previously. Very repetitive. And, Kevin, when you do find a good editor and he or she wants to eliminate "quotes" and superfluous words, swallow your pride and listen. You don't, for example, have to say "but by no means limited to," after each use of the word "including." He or she will tell you that the phrase adds nothing. This is correct. Listen to them. Your book will be much better for it. And, I suspect, about 50 pages shorter. <br /> Your heart is obviously in this. Trust me. Find an editor. You will help more people. Rating: 3 / 5
