Tinnitus Online Community

Tinnitus Online Community

Some of the best help comes from other people who've been there.
There is a small but terrific online community of people with tinnitus, communicating through newsgroups, chats and email.

These pages are an attempt to support this online communication and help it grow. (They're oriented to English-speakers, though I have listed some German- and French- language pages about tinnitus and related subjects.)

These pages are dedicated to the memory of Susan Moreland.

I have tinnitus, I don't treat it. I have no medical background. Information contained or linked on these pages proved helpful and/or interesting to me personally; nothing more is intended or implied.
