has anyone heard any news or info about T.M.S. transcranial stimulation? or trigenimal nerve stimulation? these are techniques used in america for people with stress disorders like soldiers after battle i wondered if anyone was aware that they can also be used for tinnitus as well.pulses are sent to the brain for relaxation, sadly these things are all in u.s.a. but i wondered if anyone has heard of these treatments in this country?

I've seen a TMS provider, at this time the treatment protocol is not well defined and it's only approved to treat depression and anxiety, which most of us have. The Doc I saw is hopeful a treatment plan will be available soon but as of now, it's considered experimental and costs thousands of dollars with no assurance it will be successful. Insurance won't cover a non-FDA approved treatment. I'm watching closely for the day when a TMS treatment will be available and successful.
