Customer Reviews

Helpful Resource

I was looking for a review of alternatives to learning to cope with my tinnitus and found this book most helpful. There are many articles about various types of treatments for this affliction. I found this to be a very informative resource which I refer to often.

Excellent overview of tinnitus and available treatments

The feature of this book that makes it so helpful is the unbiased overview of the various available treatments. You may wince to hear your favorite home remedy analyzed in strictly scientific terms, but the knowledge can be as refreshing as a splash of cold water on your face. The variety of topics covered--medication, depression, masking, habituation, ginkgo, etc.--indicates that Dr. Vernon wanted this book to be a comprehensive guide to treatment, not just promote one clinic's speciality over another. As a tinnitus sufferer myself, this book was a indispensable tool in trying to understand what I was up against. I particularly liked the presentation of data--treating the reader like a fellow researcher able to form his/her own conclusions.
