Joining BTA

I have just joined BTA. I am 75 and have had tinnitus (mainly right ear) for many years. First noticed condition when I couldn't 'pop' when going up a hill/at altitude, etc. I attribute the condition to use of opioid based pain killers. I was conned into paying extortionate price for 2 packs of cbd gummies - they don't work!

Welcome to the community - I hope that you find it helpful.

One that really amused me a few months ago said that it cures not only tinnitus but also arthritis, diabetes and a few others I’ve forgotten.
