Just found this on the scientific daily web site
"Tinnitus finally will begin to get some respect in April when The Department of Defense 2008 Appropriations Bill will open up $50 million in new research funding for tinnitus related to service in the armed forces. Ernest Moore has applied to launch the clinical trial with the drugs he has used with the zebrafish." Zebra fish have ears like humans and they can track their tinnitus caused behavoir better than mammals. IE you can't ask a mouse if their ears are ringing. This could be a blessing for us if the department of defense is interested in researching tinnitus. This has always been a big issue for soldiers developing tinnitus and hearing loss. Hopefully, this will bring to light the plight of many who suffer from this disorder. Earitated Posted on 05/15/08, 05:05 pm |

Opps the web site is called
Science Daily and here are some more interesting statistics from that article: "Nearly 400,000 troops collected disability for service-related tinnitus in 2006, which cost $539 million in 2006. The number climbs nearly 20 percent each year. It could hit $1 billion by 2011, according to the American Tinnitus Association." Earitated.

I recently read that over one million veterans are collecting diability because of T since the First Gulf War. This is obviously both good and bad news.

Modafinil is another drug undergoing clinical trials.However both it and acamprosate have side effects and I would be wary of them for that reason.I'll put up URLs to details in my next posting so you can decide for yourself.
