   OK well here's the deal. I used it for 6 months. I followed the protocol to the letter: every day 2-4 hours. The first 2 months were good...it provided relief. But I hadn't noticed any more progress after that. I will say that I think it saved my life, but in a "placebo effect" kind of way. I truly believed that it would work. Well, it did to an extent. I am still here..it's been a year of Tinnitus, and I am not dead! I keep it by my bed, if and when I wake up and can't get back to sleep. It was very expensive, and I'm not sure from what I've read by others that I would not be where I am with just nice music in my IPod. I can't complete;y recommend it, but I can't really know exactly what it did. I never went to my last appointment, because the Clinic was such a place of misery for me, I just had nothing more to say to them. No one really knows what causes it. I have no idea...there could be several reasons I got Tinnitus. I don't know..nor would knowing really help. I still take some Xananx, it slows me down, but it lowers the noise. I feel that Tinnitus has turned my life upside down, but I try to stya positive (very hard to do). SOme days I fell like it's sucking the life out of me bit by bit. Neuromonics did not solve that for me. But I do recommend readin Kevin Hogan's book on his dealing with Tinnitus (You can orderit through Amazon or the ATA). It's very hopeful. I have his cd collction, but I had to take a break from Neuromonics, and not listen to anything for awhile. His CD's are very relaxing and are only 30 minutes. He recommends not dwelling on it, staying off these message boards, which causes you to focus more on it and listen to all the suffering. I hpe this helps. I did not listen to all the negative words about Neuromonics, when I was actively on the boards. Nowadays I am not. Just trying to live my life. Some days are better than others. It's you decision. I will give it props, that I felt I had a new lease on life, but I was ultimatly dissapointed in the total result. Get yourself an IPod, with monotonous classical and new age music..and you will have the same thing. Good luck to you and feel free to contact me.
