Guest guest Posted March 15, 2006 Report Share Posted March 15, 2006 Hi Sally, Unfortunately, I am not aware of any vestibular rehab technique that helps with tinnitus. However, I can post your email to the neuroPT listserve and ask anyone with ideas to reply directly to you. Let me know if you would like me to do that.

Guest guest Posted March 27, 2006 Report Share Posted March 27, 2006 Sally, I have not had any luck clinically with a procedure to address Tinnitus. I too have constant tinnitus in my left ear and have not found anything that relieves the symptoms. I have heard of others using Niacin to decrease symptoms with minimal success. Lea C.
