Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)I've read a lot of tinnitus books. This is one of the handful that actually doesn't beat around the bush with audiological theory or bogus natural remedies.
Hogan has put together a remarkable book that anyone can use to reduce the volume of their tinnitus. (He is careful to note that the profoundly deaf are often not as easy to achieve good results with.)
I found the information about medications to be an eye opener. I never dreamed there were so many medications that can help someone who suffers with this maddening sound.
I also believe what Hogan calls "SPADES" (stress, panic, anxiety, depression, emotional difficulty) play a role in tinnitus generation and resolution.
Maybe most compelling was the authors personal story about how he suffered with tinnitus. His very real pain that he experienced. His daily decision about suicide and the final victory which he was told could never happen.
Highly recommended.

Over 50 million Americans experience some form of tinnitus and there are those who don't realize that the ringing in their ears has a name. Of those 50 million, 12 million are estimated to have severe tinnitus where they seek medical treatment. Approximately two million people are suffering so severely that they cannot make it through their daily activities. Kevin Hogan has a positive approach to health as a definite goal worthy of determination. Kevin experienced tinnitus, and partly because of this, he treats those who suffer from it with respect!He heard the usual, You have to live with it, and he does NOT live with it. In addition he has remolded his profession to help those with tinnitus. This book is a positive example, a helping hand, a light in the darkness. Kevin once wrote a book called The Gift: A Discovery of Love, Happiness and Fulfillment, describing a quest for happiness. Readers discover on their quest that only by giving it (The Gift) away to everyone they meet can life be complete and whole. This book is Kevin's gift to us.--This text refers to the Perfect Paperback edition.
